Have you read the latest book on Autoimmunity, that links autoimmune disorders and other chronic health imbalances, to adverse childhood experiences(ACEs)?

I interviewed my friend and colleague,  Dr. Keesha Ewers, on my facebook page a couple of weeks ago.  Her talk was very informative and well received.

She was running a special to get the kindle version of the book, along with an online program, for just $1.99  – check out this link to see if it’s still on the table. www.DrRitamarie.com/puzzle

The link between ACEs and physical disorders are well documented.  

Childhood Disrupted is a book I listened to on audio last summer and found it fascinating.  It’s a great addition to your library. Getting your clients’ ACEs score can be a helpful part of your history taking.

The ACEs study, which is quoted in both books, is at the link below  along with many other resources.

As we talk with our clients and explore the root causes of their health issues, the impact of adverse childhood experiences needs to be evaluated.  Both books include things to do to mitigate the impact., and in most cases, reverse the resulting pathology.
