Michael and I dive into how childhood trauma reshapes the nervous system, drives addiction, and contributes to chronic illness, mental health struggles, and even premature death. We break down the CDC’s ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) score, including the powerful data showing that an ACE score is associated with losing years of life, and discuss why trauma may be the hidden driver behind inflammation, immune dysfunction, and chronic disease. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.
Michael Menard is an inventor, entrepreneur, and author who grew up as the second oldest of 14 children in Kankakee, Illinois, later discovering that he and his siblings experienced complex childhood trauma. As Vice President of Engineering at Johnson & Johnson, his 14 patents transformed global manufacturing, and his expertise has been sought by the United Nations, NASA, Coca-Cola, and Pfizer. He is the founder of United Against Childhood Trauma (UACT) and the bestselling author of multiple books, including The Kite That Couldn't Fly and Greater Than Gravity.
