Digestive issues are a common struggle for shift workers, yet many don't fully understand why their stomachs seem to rebel during night shifts. From bloating and nausea to acid reflux and constipation, these symptoms are more than just annoying—they’re your body’s biological response to working against its natural rhythms.

In this episode of A Healthy Shift, you'll learn:

• Why your digestive system struggles during night shifts: Understand how your body’s circadian rhythm impacts digestion and why your gut operates on a daytime schedule.
• The science behind bloating and discomfort: Discover why food moves slower through your digestive tract at night and the role of stress in exacerbating digestive issues.
• Why women face more digestive challenges: Learn how hormonal fluctuations and longer digestive transit times affect women, leading to more intense digestive symptoms.
• Practical strategies to ease digestive discomfort: We cover meal timing, hydration tips, and the benefits of probiotics for better digestion.
• How to support your gut health while working nights: Simple, evidence-based steps like staying hydrated, eating light meals, and prioritizing quality sleep between shifts can make a huge difference.
  
  If this episode helped you understand your digestive health during night shifts, we’d love to hear from you! Leave a review and share your feedback—it helps us reach more shift workers who need this information.
