The effects of childhood trauma on adult health and ACES
by Lisa, 03/18
Childhood experiences, both negative and positive, can have a tremendous impact on lifelong health. Conventional medicine is finally starting to take notice of the mind-body relationship and is in the first stages of evaluating all of the potential impacts.
The term “ACES” stands for Adverse Childhood Experiences. This may include exposure to abuse (emotional, physical, sexual), violence, mental illness, substance abuse, and emotional or physical neglect. Kaiser-Permanente conducted one of the largest studies within this genre, involving nearly 17,000 participants. Through their evaluation entitled “The Relationship of Childhood Abuse and Household Dysfunction to Many of the Leading Causes of Death in Adults”, which was published in the Journal of Preventative Medicine, they established a strong graded relationship between exposure to childhood trauma and the risk factors for the leading causes of death among adults. Interestingly, a participant’s cumulative ACES score (the amount of trauma they had been exposed to) directly correlated with the number of co-morbidities they expressed. These co-morbidities included increased prescription and illicit drug use, cardiovascular dysfunction, diabetes, depression, and pregnancy challenges.
While counseling and emotional support should be part of any holistic protocol, homeopathy also offers a unique option for temporarily managing symptoms related to emotional distress. DesBio’s three new homeopathic remedies can be a supportive part of an emotional health protocol.
The following remedies may be helpful:
Esteem is a homeopathic remedy for the temporary relief of the symptoms related to lack of self-esteem including codependency, lack of self-confidence and narcissism
AnXious is a homeopathic remedy for the temporary relief of the symptoms related to stress including mild anxiousness, worry, overwhelm, and mild fear)
PTSD/Stress Remedy is a homeopathic for the temporary relief of symptoms of stress such as previous exposure to terror or horror, fight or flight response, recurring nightmares, difficulty sleeping, difficulty concentrating, restlessness, and easy irritability

Brighten Your Mood with Food
By: Katie Miller, LPC, NCi
Spring is symbolic of renewal, growth, new beginnings…and me grumpily staring into my closet because I am so done with the winter sweaters that held so much appeal in the fall. Along with my winter sweater, hopefully soon, gone are my cravings for warm, comforting soups and delicious baked goods. Now all I crave is a mountain of vegetables and freshly picked strawberries.
This desire to change what’s on our plate goes back as far as our hunter-gatherer ancestors. As their diet changed with the seasons, they were providing their bodies with different nutrients. Different nutrients support different aspects of health, including our mental health. Below are some examples:
Green leafy vegetables such as asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, kale, and spinach contain magnesium which decreases stress. Purple colored fruits and vegetables such as blueberries, blackberries, red cabbage, purple potatoes, and eggplant support cognitive function and decreases mental decline as we age. Eating foods containing B vitamins such as eggs, nuts, seeds, and dairy can relieve symptoms of depression. Eating Omega-3 fats in the form of avocados, olives, nuts, and salmon can decrease symptoms of anxiety.
We all respond differently to the foods we eat and you have the power to support your mental health by eating a variety of fresh, seasonal foods.
If you're curious about how nutrition might help you better mange stress, decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety, or support another mental health challenge you face Katie Miller offers individualized nutrition support in developing healthy dietary goals and patterns, as well as meal plans and recipes. Katie Miller is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Nutritional Consultant.
