Memorable Quotes:
"I have an adverse childhood experiences score of six, which is high. So I've got more than 45 chronic diseases that are increased associated with the exposure to trauma that I had as a child." - Sara Gottfried
"So number one, do the ACE questionnaire. Know what your ACE score is. It's critical. Number two, I would say check your DHEA level. I think it's so critical to know what that is. A lot of people have no idea and yet they're getting it measured. So get your DHEA checked." - Sara Gottfried
