Meet the Mapstons Part 1: Shift Work and Potential Consequences

Cory and Dona Mapston have been living on a shift work schedule for almost 3 decades. Cory is a sergeant in the San Diego Police Department and despite a rotating shift-work schedule, he has managed to optimize his schedule to stay healthy. Unfortunately, most people on a shift work schedule have not cracked this very complicated code of healthy living on an erratic schedule. We interviewed Cory and his wife Dona to discuss what they’ve learned over the past 28 years of living with shift-work.

Without realizing it, Lynn had started a diet of time-restricted feeding (TRF).

In order to understand his lifestyle, first, you’ll need to know more about his life.
