Season 1
Episode 571

Description
Do you ever feel like you're floating outside your body, watching yourself exist on autopilot? Or maybe you’re exhausted, not because you ran a marathon, but because you spent 20 minutes talking to a cashier?

Sometimes, they look like chronic back pain, losing your keys for the fifth time (brain fog), or having terrifying intrusive thoughts that pop up out of nowhere. We are diving deep into the nervous system science behind why your body shuts down when your mind can’t take anymore.
