Text me what you thought of the show 😊

Shift work can slowly eat away at your health if you don't understand how to work with your body's natural circadian rhythm. Getting the fundamentals right from the start helps shift workers thrive instead of just survive.

• Understanding your circadian rhythm is critical—your body has a biological day and night
• Light is the biggest factor in regulating your body clock—get morning sunlight and avoid blue light after dark
• Melatonin is not just for sleep but protects against cancer cells
• Time-restricted eating helps align with your biological clock—avoid eating during your biological night
• Fasting during night shifts improves digestive issues and energy levels
• Daily movement, especially early in the day, is essential for both physical and mental health
• Set clear boundaries between work and home life to protect relationships and mental wellbeing
