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!
