New Perspectives on Anti-Aging Medicine
Join us as Dr Kara Fitzgerald bridges the gap between epigenetics and functional medicine with her fascinating research on diet and lifestyle interventions that can slow the rate of aging. Discover how the foods we eat and how we live our lives can directly impact epigenetics and DNA methylation, leading to changes in the biological clock. Dr Fitzgerald details her groundbreaking study from her new book “Younger You” which challenges long-standing beliefs about aging and reveals that even though living forever isn’t possible, living well for longer is within reach.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Dr Fitzgerald’s journey into the research of aging.
- How epigenetics, the switchboard for our genes, plays a pivotal role in aging.
- The influence of lifestyle choices, particularly diet, on DNA methylation.
- Key takeaways from Dr. Fitzgerald’s pioneering study on bio-age reversal and its implications.
