19. How to Reverse your Biological Age (with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald, ND)

Take Back Your Health

What if I told you that your biological age could be reversed by over three years in just eight weeks? Dr. Kara Fitzgerald —this week’s guest—has the science to prove it's possible.

Dr. Fitzgerald is a leading expert on DNA methylation and the author of the book Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better. If you’re interested in aging well, this week’s conversation is chock-full of incredibly practical changes you can take tomorrow (maybe even today!).

Here’s a peek into what you’ll learn:

• The specific diet and lifestyle program that significantly reversed study participants' biological age
• The clinical test that you can take to find out how fast you’re aging
• Dr. Fitzgerald’s recommendations for fasting windows, meditation practices, and supplements to support a younger biological age.
• Why she calls exercise an “amazing vegetable” and how it impacts DNA methylation
