0:00.0	It isn't one thing. It's a lot of different things, and it's based off of a lot of different traumas and experiences and people's certain people's lives, but that like there is hope and that you can be treated.
0:14.0	It's an emotional dysregulation disorder. It's, it's a trauma-based disorder. It's a disorder that is caused by extreme invalidation in your life.
0:22.9	Everybody who is directly impacted by BPD has at least five to ten other people in their life that are indirectly affected.
0:32.5	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

1:54.9	shocked at how eerily similar some of the things that happened and things that she says are
2:00.3	to what I've experienced from
