A Healthy Shift

[262] - Reclaiming Your Rhythm Navigating Shift Work's Impact on Your Body Clock

Text me what you thought of the show 😊

In this episode, I’m breaking down how your circadian rhythm impacts every part of your health as a shift worker — and why managing it is the difference between surviving your roster and actually thriving.

Most shift workers are unknowingly working against their body’s natural rhythm. I’ll show you exactly how to turn that around using real science and practical tools.

Here’s what I cover:

  • Why circadian disruption leads to fatigue, illness, and burnout
  • How light exposure is your #1 tool for better sleep and energy
  • How I build a “sleep cave” that helps shift workers fall asleep faster
  • The power of blue-light blocking on your commute home
  • How digestion follows your body clock — and how to eat smarter at night
  • My go-to nutrition tips for reducing bloating and sugar crashes
  • Why mental health suffers — and what to do about it
  • Shift rotation tips, nap timing, and lighting hacks that actually make a difference
