Summary

This week, Stacy and Sarah discuss circadian rhythm and navigating shift work in a healthy way. They look at the science behind circadian rhythms to see how they work and even offer techniques you can use to help adjust to a constantly fluctuating schedule. You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here. Listener Question: I have been dialing in my nutrition, activities and sleep and feel so much better for it. But due to my work schedule everytime I come off a rotation of night shifts it takes me 3 days to recover back to my new normal again. I started working 12 hour shifts (7am to 7pm for 4 days then 2 days off. Then 7pm to 7am for 4 nights, then 6 days off to rest). It's like having jetlag every 16 days! Is there anything I can do to help and support my body through this? Many thanks, Sophie Don’t forget to subscribe to this channel and visit realeverything.com and thepaleomom.com!

0:10.0	the skin you're in and being healthy inside and out.
0:15.0	And I'm Dr. Sarah Bountine of the Paleumum.com. I believe that scientific literacy is the key

0:28.0	Hello, welcome to the whole view. Episode 449, whereby I've suddenly decided to start the
0:34.5	show in a very creepy voice.
0:40.0	It's the, I don't know, like next, you know, window number two on the prices right. I like
0:48.0	a picture of this voice with like hand motions displaying something.
0:52.0	Oh, there was full-on hand motions for sure.
0:56.0	But then again, there's always hand-talking. Did you know that a couple of weeks ago I actually
1:00.3	like scratched my face to the point where it was bleeding and pretty deep. I still have
1:04.8	a mark on my face from hand-talking literally.
1:08.0	Oh, that is so many kinds of epic. I'm really impressed. That's fantastic.
1:13.7	That is the full red-headed stepchild Hungarian Italian hand-talking problem right there.
1:22.4	I feel like hand-talking is why there's no video version of this podcast because we
1:27.7	just make like anybody was watching. We'd make them motion sick with both how much we both
1:31.7	hand-talk.
1:32.7	Also, neither one of us actually want to get dressed up for this, so I'm in my PJs.
1:38.1	Yeah, that's reason number two. All right, I'm excited. This week is a topic that is not
1:46.0	something I've ever had to personally deal with, but I've actually done quite a bit of research
1:52.0	because I have people in my life who work on alternative shifts. I know how much that
