Can working non-traditional hours wreak havoc on your gut? Discover how shift work can exacerbate irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and learn practical, evidence-backed strategies to manage it effectively. Join me, Roger Sutherland, a certified nutritionist and veteran shift worker, as I unveil why IBS is particularly challenging for those with irregular schedules. By sharing the transformative journey of a female client who conquered severe IBS in just four weeks, we highlight the crucial role of stress management and the gut-brain axis. You’ll gain insights into the primary triggers such as circadian misalignment and stress, and how they lead to symptoms like gas, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea.
Living a balanced life as a shift worker is possible! In this episode, I emphasize the importance of building a supportive shift work community. Maintaining a regular eating schedule, prioritizing quality sleep, and engaging in stress-reducing activities are just a few of the strategies discussed to help align your body's functions with your demanding work schedule. By fostering a healthier shift working environment, we can collectively improve our well-being. Stay connected by visiting ahealthyshift.com for more tips and resources.
