Do you ever wonder how your food environment impacts your health, especially as a shift worker?

Today, we're joined by Dr. Jill Joyce, a registered dietitian, professor of public health nutrition, and co-director of the Tactical Fitness and Nutrition Lab at Oklahoma State University, to explore the complexities of food environments in shift working environments and how they affect our eating habits, health, and overall well-being.

Throughout our conversation, we discuss the different levels of food environments, from community to micro, and how conditioning and external influences can shape our food choices. We'll also explore the role of social environments, emotional eating, and the control of food between first responders, front-line health, and their spouses.

Dr. Joyce shares practical strategies for modifying your food environment to make healthier choices the easy choice and help you navigate decision fatigue in the context of shift work.

So come along as we learn how to create healthier food environments for ourselves and our fellow shift workers, improving not only our eating habits but also our health and productivity. We talk about the successes Dr. Joyce has seen in her local group, where people are eating upwards of 2kgs of produce a shift, and discuss the importance of involving the group in the process to enact lasting change.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to set up your work and home environments for healthier living.
