Episode Summary: What happens when you over-train, under-eat, and lose touch with your nervous system? For Hunter, it resulted in a "weighted blanket" of chronic fatigue and a terrifying cycle of OCD. In this episode, Unique and Hunter discuss the specific steps he took to desensitize his nervous system, why he had to eat 4,000+ calories just to feel safe, and the importance of disconnecting from the "matrix" of technology to find health.
