Are you constantly battling hunger pangs during your night shift? 
Ever wondered why you're craving chocolate biscuits at the nurse's station or finding it hard to resist Jenny's cake? 

Welcome to my podcast, where certified nutritionist and veteran shift worker, Roger Sutherland, unravels the mystery behind weight gain among shift workers and offers practical solutions to combat it. 

We'll explore the science behind disrupted sleep patterns and its effect on our appetite-regulating hormones, leptin and ghrelin, which often lead to cravings for high-calorie, nutrient-sparse foods. 

In the second half, we'll dive deep into the world of shift worker nutrition. Roger will share invaluable tips on maintaining a balanced diet, the benefits of an overnight fast during biological night, and the significance of meal timings. Plus, we'll explore the importance of nutrient-dense foods, hydration, and meal planning, even for those with unconventional working hours. So buckle up and join me for an enlightening journey into the world of shift workers and learn how to not just survive, but thrive amidst the challenges posed by an irregular work schedule.
