Season 2 Episode 35


Text me what you thought of the show 😊

Are you a shift worker finding it tough to navigate those grueling weeks? 
Do you find yourself giving in to those early morning hunger pangs more often than you'd like? 
If so, you're not alone, and this episode is for you. 

I'm Roger Sutherland, a certified nutritionist and a shift worker myself, and today, we explore the world of shift work and how to thrive in it. We'll discuss the crucial roles of ghrelin and leptin, two hormones that often get tossed around due to stress and lack of sleep, and how they impact your eating habits. We'll also delve into self-care, stress management, and the power of gratitude in maintaining mental health and overall wellbeing.

Imagine getting through your week feeling more balanced, mindful, and in control. Sounds good, right? Join me as we uncover ways to do just that. We'll talk about the importance of a good meditation practice, staying hydrated, maintaining proper nutrition, and managing your exposure to light. I'll also give you a glimpse into my personal journey through a challenging week and how I navigated it. Remember, shift work might not always be a walk in the park, but with the right strategies and a little patience, we can make it through. So, put on your headphones and join the conversation. Let's thrive in shift work, together!
