0:00.0	Stress is simply a simple measure of like what level of the survival hierarchy are you using
0:09.9	to deal with whatever stuff or adversities in front of you.
0:13.7	I feel, therefore I am because my brain and my ability to think is an artifact.
0:24.8	It is the end result of 100 million years of being able to feel and move.
0:29.3	Use your brain to tell your body that you're actually safe to decondition the fear response you've developed between your symptoms and your thoughts.
0:32.7	Welcome to the Melanie Avalon Biohacking podcast, where we meet the world's top experts to explore the
0:39.1	secrets of health, mindset, longevity, and so much more. Are you ready to take charge of your
0:45.0	existence and biohack your life? This show is for you. Please keep in mind. We're not dispensing
0:51.5	medical advice and are not responsible for any outcomes you may
0:55.3	experience from implementing the tactics lying herein. So friends, are you ready to join me? Let's do

1:33.4	from the parasympathetic nervous system? Who knew? It was such an honor to connect today with one
1:39.6	of the co-authors, Cardin Rabin. He is such an incredible, kind, motivating soul, and we touch on
1:45.9	myriad topics, including the functional freeze response, the importance of safety, body
1:51.5	discomfort, how to actually understand the language of your body, and so much more.
1:56.6	This is also a very personal episode. Both Cardin and I share very personal stories that we've had with sexual battery and assault
2:04.1	and the role that that plays in our body's freeze response.
2:08.0	I really applaud Cardin for sharing this story.
