Do you feel irritable after every shift, emotionally numb, or like you’re just surviving instead of thriving? Maybe you’re a night shift nurse who can’t sleep, a bedside nurse drowning in documentation, or a healthcare mom who feels like she’s failing everyone. You want work-life balance, but it feels impossible. You crave connection with God, quality time with your spouse and kids, and just five minutes of peace—but patience and presence seem out of reach after another exhausting shift. You know you need self-care, but you’re so depleted from caring for everyone else that you don’t even know where to start. Sound familiar? You might not realize it yet, but you’re experiencing nurse burnout—or heading there fast. 💨 You’re in the right place, and you’re not alone. I’m Shan Wright—wife, mom to 4, Registered Nurse, and Holistic Nurse Coach. I’ve been where you are: burnt out at bedside, struggling with postpartum anxiety, feeling disconnected from God and my family, and wondering if this exhausting cycle was just ”how it is” for nurses. After burning out in bedside nursing, I realized I couldn’t pour from an empty cup. I sought the Prince…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-14T14:19:14.991723+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beat-nurse-burnout-holistic-wellness-stress-burnout-recovery-fatigue-identity-healing-6641548"},"episode":{"title":"238/ The Shift Work Tax: What It's Really Costing Your Hormones, Energy & Life [ Dr. Aaron Chapa ]","slug":"238-the-shift-work-tax-what-it-s-really-costing-your-hormones-energy-life-dr-aaron-chapa","published_at":"2026-06-30T04:05:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beat-nurse-burnout-holistic-wellness-stress-burnout-recovery-fatigue-identity-healing-6641548/238-the-shift-work-tax-what-it-s-really-costing-your-hormones-energy-life-dr-aaron-chapa","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beat-nurse-burnout-holistic-wellness-stress-burnout-recovery-fatigue-identity-healing-6641548","url":"https://thewrightwellnesschat.podbean.com/e/the-shift-work-tax-what-its-really-costing-your-energy-hormones-life-dr-aaron-chapa/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/fh8dm8prjiru7ang/episode238.mp3","summary":"HI Nurse friend, Have you ever wondered why you're doing \"everything right\" but still feel exhausted, inflamed, and hormonally off? The answer might not be what you're eating — it might be when you're working. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Aaron Chapa, Doctor of Chiropractic and functional health expert, to have the conversation nurses desperately need to hear. Dr. Chapa specializes in hormones, metabolism, and whole-body wellness, and as the founder of Living Well Clinical Nutrition, he has helped hundreds of people find real answers to fatigue, hormone imbalance, and chronic inflammation. He made one statement early in our conversation that set the tone for everything: nurses are his best and worst clients. And once you hear why, you won't be able to unhear it. We get into the real, practical, science-based strategies that work even with a nurse's unpredictable schedule — and why your days off might be the most powerful health tool you're not using. In This Episode We Cover: Why nurses are uniquely positioned — and uniquely at risk — when it comes to holistic health The true tax that shift work places on your hormones, metabolism, and inflammatory load How to break your fast in a way that supports your body instead of working against it How to structure the start of your day for holistic success even on a chaotic schedule The 70/30 rule and why it might be the most realistic and sustainable approach to wellness for nurses How intentional rest and recovery on your days off can prevent and reverse burnout Why lasting transformation requires getting to the root — not just managing symptoms Wholly Well Intensive Are you tired of knowing what you should do for your health but never having the space, support, or clarity to actually do it? The Wholly Well Intensive w…","meta_description":"HI Nurse friend, Have you ever wondered why you're doing \"everything right\" but still feel exhausted, inflamed, and hormonally off?
