How can historical trauma impact health in current and future generations?
In this episode, I feature a paper by Conching & Thayer who offer a model to understand this issue. It appears that exposure to trauma can result in changes to the genome that could make sufferers predisposed to chronic disease. On top of that, these effects can also be transmitted to future generations.
