Q I'm in my 20s doing shift work, so my meal and sleep times are always irregular. Is binge-eating care possible even with this kind of lifestyle?
A Yes. If your life can't be perfectly regular, we take the approach of designing your own consistent meal and sleep rhythm to fit your work pattern. Even when conditions are difficult, there's plenty of room for improvement.
Detailed Answer
When your schedule is irregular, like with shift work, the same three-meal timetable as everyone else isn't realistic. Instead, the key is setting your own consistent meal intervals and sleep times to fit your work cycle. Placing hearty meals before and after work, and having easy-to-digest food instead of stimulating late-night snacks during night shifts, can reduce the triggers for binging.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
At Dongjedang, we see that the more irregular your life, the more easily circulation and digestive rhythm stagnate. In such cases, rather than perfect regularity, it's important to set a rhythm of when to empty and when to fill within your own work pattern. When we release the stalled flow and revive metabolism, the pressure to binge at night decreases even if your schedule is irregular.
