Gill discusses nature versus nurture.  We will explore if addiction depends on genetics, how we're raised, or both?  She explains the impact both genetics and our environment have on us.  Like usual, there are a lot of interesting studies to tell you about! You’ll learn what epigenetics is, how our experiences influence our genes, and how stress plays a role.  She will also explain what an ACE score is and how our childhood impacts our mental and physical health as adults.

Key takeaways and sources are posted here.
