In this episode, I’m breaking down how your circadian rhythm impacts every part of your health as a shift worker — and why managing it is the difference between surviving your roster and actually thriving.

Most shift workers are unknowingly working against their body’s natural rhythm. I’ll show you exactly how to turn that around using real science and practical tools.

Here’s what I cover:

• Why circadian disruption leads to fatigue, illness, and burnout
• How light exposure is your #1 tool for better sleep and energy
• How I build a “sleep cave” that helps shift workers fall asleep faster
• The power of blue-light blocking on your commute home
• How digestion follows your body clock — and how to eat smarter at night
• My go-to nutrition tips for reducing bloating and sugar crashes
• Why mental health suffers — and what to do about it
• Shift rotation tips, nap timing, and lighting hacks that actually make a difference

In this episode of A Healthy Shift, I break down the differences between two popular supplements: ashwagandha and magnesium. Both are known to support stress relief and better sleep — but they work in very different ways.

I explain:

• How ashwagandha can help calm a wired mind
• Why magnesium supports deep rest and nervous system recovery
• Which one might suit your shift work lifestyle better
• When using both could make sense
  
  

If you’ve ever reached for supplements after a rough run of night shifts or long days, this episode will help you choose wisely.
