279: How to age backwards: your genetics are not your fate - Dr. Kara Fitzgerald


Listen Later

YES! You can reduce your biological age. Your genes don't dictate your fate, and age doesn’t dictate how you feel. The root cause of all diseases is NOT driven by genetics.

We start out technical, but then we get really practical.

"Your genes don't dictate your fate, and age doesn’t dictate how you feel. The root cause of all diseases is not driven by genetics." - Dr. Kara Fitzgerald

In this episode:
  • Aging appears to be driven by DNA methylation – a process that influences which genes are turned on and which are turned off.
  • There are predictable DNA methylation patterns from in utero to centenarians, so you can very reliably predict how old someone is using these patterns.
  • Life expectancy in the United States is on the decline.
  • Our growing understanding of epigenetics suggests that we can reduce the risk of all diseases at once by reducing bio age.
  • Your genes don't dictate your fate: age doesn’t dictate how you feel.
  • Specific foods and lifestyle practices have been shown to favorably influence DNA methylation.
  • Address stress as if your life depends on it because it DOES
