Is Hustle Culture Impacting Your Relationship with Food?

Many of us are taught to push through exhaustion, skip meals, and treat rest like a reward we have to earn. But when we ignore our needs all day, our bodies often fight back at night—sometimes through binge eating or emotional eating behaviors we don’t fully understand.

At Conason Psychological Services, we work with clients every day who are navigating the intersection of burnout, diet culture, and disordered eating. What often looks like a “lack of willpower” is really a response to chronic overwhelm, stress, and disconnection from the body’s cues.

If you're feeling stuck in patterns of binge eating or late-night overeating, you're not alone—and you’re not doing anything wrong. These behaviors make sense in the context of hustle culture and emotional exhaustion.
