What triggers those relentless cravings during your shift work, and how can you finally put a stop to them? Tune in as we uncover the biological chaos that ensues when your body goes hungry for too long, and what you can do to stabilize your energy levels. Join me, Roger Sutherland, a certified nutritionist and veteran law enforcement officer, as we explore the intricate dance between blood sugar drops and sudden hunger emergencies.
