Text me what you thought of the show 😊

PMS can feel overwhelming for shift workers, especially when irregular rosters and sleep loss make symptoms worse. In this episode, I break down new research on PMS and nutrition, explain how a single daily food swap can ease symptoms, and share practical snack strategies you can use on night shifts.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • How PMS symptoms are amplified by disrupted sleep and rotating shifts
  • Why circadian and infradian rhythms matter for female shift workers
  • The link between 30 g of nuts, seeds, or legumes and lower PMS risk
  • How sugary snacks increase PMS severity and energy crashes
  • Why magnesium, omega-3s, protein, and fibre support symptom relief
  • Practical non-perishable snack swaps and prep strategies
  • How to avoid “healthy” marketing traps and hidden sugars
  • Simple tracking tools to align nutrition with your cycle
