Dr. Fitzgerald directs a large, integrative in-person and virtual clinical practice in Connecticut. She is engaged in clinical research on the DNA methylome using a diet and lifestyle intervention developed in her clinic. Her first study was published in the journal Aging. Earlier this year, she published Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better, an application-based program based on the study. * Purchase Younger You: https://amzn.to/3BZwFiP (Amazon Link) --► Get the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/dr-kara-fitzgerald-become-younger-you/ --► Subscribe to My Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 *Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck.

What I Discuss With Dr. Kara Fitzgerald About How You Reverse Your Biological Age Through Lifestyle and Diet Choices Dr. Fitzgerald and I discuss how there is a link between aging and chronic disease, and it has everything to do with epigenetics and their effect on aging. Biological age looks at specific patterns of a key epigenetic mark called DNA methylation. These DNA methylation patterns can reliably predict how fast our body is aging. Methylation is as essential to our bodies as breathing and is happening in our bodies and within our cells all of the time. Therefore, if you can give yourself the DNA methylations of a younger you, you can reset your biological aging process. She provides key ways to do this throughout our interview that are based on her years of experience backed by clinical trials.
- Why do most adults spend the last 16 years of their lives suffering from chronic conditions and taking multiple medications?
- Why reversing biological age is key.
- Why it's epigenetics and not your genetics that determines your level of health and age
- How is epigenetic expression greatly influenced by DNA methylation?
- How do our diet and lifestyle choices impact DNA methylation?
- The results of her research and a groundbreaking clinical trial showed a reduction of biological age by three years.
- Why it is our daily choices and routines that add years to your life or reduce them
- Her diet and lifestyle program which increases healthspan and reduces your biological age.
- And so much more.
