Description

Can trauma be inherited across generations? And more importantly—can it be stopped?


Dr. Nadine Burke Harris has spent her career answering those questions. As California’s first Surgeon General, she championed screening for ACEs, built networks between clinics and communities, and pushed for policies that save lives.




In this conversation with Jess Larsen, Nadine shares the science, the policy battles, and the deeply human side of this work—from seeing patients transformed when told “you’re not crazy” to showing how neuroplasticity means no one is permanently broken. It’s science, leadership, and hope rolled into one.
