Toxic stress is a result of ACEs, and it is defined as “the body’s response to lasting and serious stress without enough support from a caregiver.” This lasting stress can damage a child’s body and negatively impact brain development, thus causing lifelong health problems into adulthood.

Toxic stress doesn’t just go away on its own, and it makes stress-free living in adulthood impossible because your stress response is still working overtime – whether you recognize it or not.

Once you’ve gotten your ACE Score, you will have a better understanding of where your stress comes from and how toxic stress may be impacting your life.

The journey to healing from ACEs is a rewarding and worthwhile one. And the path you take is as unique as you are. No matter your ACE Score, a great way to start is by learning healthy ways to heal from stress experienced in the past and present, so it no longer blocks you from the life you deserve.

When you take steps to turn off your body’s stress response, a calm, deep, inner power will emerge. This relaxed and empowered state will enable you to be more resilient, think more clearly, and show up as your best self in all areas of life.
