The Liz Moody Podcast · New Research: Being A "Good Girl" Is Making You Sick (Really). Here's How + What To Do · 17 Jun 2026 podcast

The best way to talk about it is as it relates to epigenetics.

Epigenetics comes into play when just talking about genetics isn't enough to describe the situation that we're in, when there must be something beyond the DNA going on.

Think about them as happenings outside of a body that doesn't alter your DNA itself, but alters the way that your genes are turned on or off.

So when you think about epigenetic inputs, they can be positive, but they can also be negative epigenetic inputs.

And within our DNA and the genes that we have, genes are turning on and off throughout a lifespan.

That's it.

So are you familiar?

I know you are, but the ACE study.

Yes, but tell us about it.

Okay.

The ACE study, it stands for Adverse Childhood Experiences.

And it was originated by two gentlemen who began a list of

of experiences that they saw in their early research more qualitatively that began to render almost a bit of a Bible around experiences that boys and girls, it wasn't gender specific,

that was the higher the ACE score, it's a series of questions, and they're a yes or no question, the more likely that child was to developing heightened disease later on in life.

So created in 1995, by the way, for anyone that wants to look at it, it's the ACE questionnaire.

And what I found interesting, though, was that the questions that are asked, and it's everything from a parent or adult swore at me in my home.

I experienced the death of a parent.

I felt no one in my family loved me or thought I was special.

I lived with someone who was depressed, mentally ill, or attempted suicide.
