Squat, Drop, & Roll

Stress, Dissociative Fugue, and the Disappearance of Xin Rong


Listen Later

THIS EPISODE IS WILD!! Come along for the ride with me while I weave fitness, psychology, and true crime together. Let's start by chatting about the importance of stress management and it's role in weight loss.

Next, we venture onto this INSANE diagnosis called dissociative fugue. Think sleepwalking + amnesia + memory loss + unexpected vacation.... for up to MONTHS.

Lastly, we will meander through the real life mystery that is the disappearance of the University of Michigan PhD student, Xin Rong. I NEED ANSWERS. Oh and I also lose my Michigander card while trying to describe where locations are using a hand map *face palm*.
