Have you ever wished you could age in reverse? Turns out, you actually can—and today’s guest has the science to back it up. Join us as we dive into the world of epigenetics (meaning, “above” genetics) and discover lifestyle practices to reverse biological age.

In this episode you’ll learn:

* The power of food and epinutrients

* The impact of exercise and how to move more

* How seed cycling can support healthy aging

* Considerations if you’re planning to conceive

Kara Fitzgerald, ND, IFMCP, is engaged in ongoing clinical research on DNA methylation using diet and lifestyle interventions. She is the author of Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better, a ground-breaking work detailing her original 8-week study that resulted in a 3-year reversal of biological aging, and the step-by-step program that can help others achieve those results. Her follow up research has yielded even better outcomes: a 4.6-year average biological age reversal. She also has a Younger You companion cookbook, Better Broths and Healing Tonics.

Dr. Fitzgerald is on faculty at the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), and is an IFM Certified Practitioner. She regularly lectures internationally and hosts the podcast New Frontiers in Functional Medicine. She received her doctorate in naturopathic medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine in Oregon and is in private practice in Sandy Hook, Connecticut.
