Description
What happens when the energy you pour into work leaves nothing for fueling your body? Lucas and Luna explore the quiet way burnout rewires how we eat—skipping meals, bingeing on convenience, losing the ritual of cooking. They anchor the conversation in the 2025 American Time Use Survey data showing that burned-out professionals spend 40 percent less time on meal preparation than their peers. Plus, they discuss the concept of 'decision fatigue' and how it drives impulse eating, and touch on the growing trend of workplace nutrition programs. This episode offers a grounded look at a daily struggle many high-achievers face but rarely name.
