Can Melatonin Help Beat Jet Lag?
In this episode, MJ speaks with Gerald Quigley, pharmacist and Master Herbalist, about jet lag and what happens to your body when you travel across multiple time zones.
Gerald explains the role of circadian rhythms and melatonin, and shares his approach to using melatonin around long-haul travel to help reduce the effects of jet lag.
He also discusses why melatonin may be more useful for disrupted body clocks than for general sleep problems, and why it can also be relevant for shift workers.
Listen to the full conversation.
