    Could understanding the biological drivers of your cravings be the key to a healthier shift-working lifestyle? Join me, Roger Sutherland, as we uncover the hidden triggers behind those late-night snack attacks, especially for those in high-pressure jobs like healthcare. With my dual experience as a certified nutritionist and a veteran shift worker, I promise to guide you through the complexities of circadian misalignment, stress, and energy depletion, and how these factors wreak havoc on your hunger hormones. Discover why your body aches for high-calorie, sugary foods, and gain insights into emotional hunger that stem from childhood conditioning. Together, we'll cultivate strategies that empower you to manage cravings and not just endure, but truly excel in your demanding roles.

    Explore with me how modern life's blue light exposure further distorts our natural rhythms, pushing us towards unhealthy choices during those grueling night shifts. I'll provide practical advice on how to stabilise blood sugar levels with low glycemic index foods and offer tips on meal timing to maintain energy and make nourishing food choices. From a well-balanced pre-night shift meal plan to essential shopping tips, I'm here to arm you with the knowledge to embrace a low GI lifestyle. Plus, don't miss the free resource available on my website—your guide to healthier eating habits and a more balanced shift-working life.
