Listen Later

This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Paleovalley.


It’s true: getting older is inevitable, and our chronological age can only move in one direction. But we also have a biological age, which scientists can measure by assessing how our genes are expressed through epigenetics.


On today’s mini-episode, Dhru sits down with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald to talk about the exciting new research that shows our biological age can actually move in reverse and her groundbreaking clinical trial that proved it’s possible.


Dr. Fitzgerald received her doctorate in naturopathic medicine from the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, and is in private practice in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. She is the host of the New Frontiers in Functional Medicine podcast, is on faculty at the Institute for Functional Medicine, and is an Institute for Functional Medicine certified practitioner. Her study Potential Reversal of Epigenetic Age Using a Diet and Lifestyle Intervention is the first of its kind to show biological age reversal in humans.


In this episode we dive into:

-The top three things you can do to age in reverse 

-Why stress is one of the biggest drivers of aging 

-How much of our genetic makeup is set in stone 

-How epigenetics is involved in cellular aging 

-DNA methylation and how it powerfully influences epigenetic expression 

-Zombie cells and aging 

-Dr. Fitzgerald’s study for aging in reverse and the protocol followed by the participants
