Back to Episodes[261] - Magnesium v Ashwagandha for Shift Workers
Description
Text me what you thought of the show 😊
In this episode of A Healthy Shift, I break down the differences between two popular supplements: ashwagandha and magnesium. Both are known to support stress relief and better sleep — but they work in very different ways.
I explain:
- How ashwagandha can help calm a wired mind
- Why magnesium supports deep rest and nervous system recovery
- Which one might suit your shift work lifestyle better
- When using both could make sense
If you’ve ever reached for supplements after a rough run of night shifts or long days, this episode will help you choose wisely.
