14 Nov 2024
Text me what you thought of the show 😊Could your late-night cravings really be a cry for water, not food? Join me, Roger Sutherland, as I unravel the mystery of why dehydration might be masquerading as hunger, especially for those of us navigating the unpredictable world of shift work. This bonus episode is all about understanding the signals our bodies send, which can often get tangled up when we're juggling odd hours and disrupted routines. We'll explore how the brain's hypothalamus might confuse thirst for hunger due to overlapping symptoms like fatigue and stomach growling. By tuning into this episode, you'll gain valuable tools to discern whether it's really hunger or just a need for hydration.Equip yourself with practical strategies to tackle this common challenge, improve your energy levels, and minimise unnecessary snacking that often leads to unwanted weight gain. As a certified Nutritionist and seasoned shift worker, my mission is to empower you with evidence-based insights that transform the way you manage your health amidst the demands of shift work. Together, we'll illuminate the vital role hydration plays in maintaining not just survival, but thriving in both your personal and professional life. This episode is essential listening for anyone eager to optimise their health while navigating the rigors of around-the-clock schedules.Support the show---------------------------- ANNOUNCING "The Shift Workers Collective" https://join.ahealthyshift.com/the-shift-workers-collective Click the link to learn all about it----------------------------- YOU CAN FIND ME AT Website Instagram LinkedIn Shift Work Health and Wellbeing Seminars One2One Coaching _____________________ Disclaimer: Roger Sutherland is not a doctor or a medical professional.
