Text me what you thought of the show 😊
If you're a woman working shifts and struggling with irregular periods, painful cramps, mood swings, or unexplained fatigue—this episode is your wake-up call.
We’re diving into one of the most overlooked health issues in women’s wellness: how working against your natural body clock can wreak havoc on your menstrual cycle. Science is now clear—disrupted circadian rhythms caused by night shifts or rotating schedules directly impact your hormonal balance, particularly estrogen and progesterone regulation.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why shift work throws your reproductive system off track
- How your sleep-wake cycles influence period pain, PMS, and fatigue
- What the latest research says about menstrual disorders among shift workers
- 7 FREE and practical, science-backed strategies you can start today to balance your cycle—without pills, supplements, or expensive interventions
From hormone-friendly light exposure, to optimising sleep quality, to cycle-aware nutrition—you’ll walk away with real-world tips you can integrate into your shift work lifestyle. Because you shouldn’t have to choose between your career and your health.
The best part? These small changes add up. Women around the world are taking back control of their cycles—and you can too.
