Text me what you thought of the show 😊

Night shift weight gain is not about discipline. It is biology. In this episode, I explain how circadian disruption affects metabolism, why insulin resistance rises after dark, and how hormones like cortisol, leptin, and ghrelin drive cravings, hunger spikes, and fat storage when sleep is short. I draw on my decades of 24/7 policing and my work as a certified nutritionist to break this down into simple actions that fit rotating rosters.

What You Will Learn:

• Why many shift workers gain fat even when they do not eat more
• How circadian disruption changes metabolism and blood sugar control
• Why rigid meal plans fail on night shift
• How sleep loss increases cravings and slows fat loss
• The power of anchoring meals to your biological day
• How to front-load calories earlier and keep nights lighter
• Protein-first meals that stabilise blood sugar
• Practical fasting windows that feel natural
• How to avoid the 2 a.m. chips, chocolate, and office cake trap
• Sleep strategies that become your strongest fat loss tools
• Simple strength and walking routines that support recovery and energy

If your roster has been fighting your biology, this episode will give you a clear blueprint to bring your body back in sync.
