If you’ve ever felt bloated, gassy, or just off in the gut after a night shift — you’re not alone. In this episode, I unpack exactly why shift work messes with your digestion, and what you can actually do about it.

Forget blaming food intolerances — the root issue is often your disrupted circadian rhythm, not the food itself. I break down how your internal body clock affects digestion and share simple, evidence-backed habits to get your gut back on track (without resorting to expensive supplements or guesswork).

Whether you’re battling gut discomfort, irregularity, or just feel like your digestion is out of sync — this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why your digestive issues may not be food-related at all
• How every cell in your body, including your gut, runs on an internal clock
• What happens to digestion during your biological night (9 PM–6 AM)
• Why eating at regular times (yes, even on shifts) helps your body work better
• The gut-damaging combo of stress, dehydration, and irregular eating
• Smart strategies: low-GI eating, movement during shifts, and hydration tips
• When (and if) supplements like probiotics are worth trying
