The ACE (adverse childhood experiences) study might be one of the most important health findings since Germ theory. In the sense that it finds a true root cause for a lot of health maladies, as well as physical mechanisms that cause these health issues in traumatized kid (all animals respond maladaptively to stress hormones introduced too early in development)

I’d recommend people read “The Deepest Well” - a great book on this topic.

Childhood trauma that leads to toxic stress can have epigenetic affects and dramatically increases one’s chance for many illnesses and many causes of death. It is truly stunning. This is true even for those who feel like their trauma was no big deal (heck, others had it worse, right?) if they have a high ACE score (adverse childhood experiences).

Nadine Burke Harris writes and talks about it and how a larger ACE score should be detected as part of normal health screenings for everyone because of its outsized influence on health.
