Your destiny is not determined by your genes, but rather how you express your genes. In her second interview on the Commune Podcast, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald goes deep into the mechanisms of epigenetics and offers research-backed advice on how to use diet and lifestyle inputs to activate (or turn off) the genes associated with optimal wellness.

You can pre-register for Dr. Fitzgerald’s upcoming Commune course, The Younger You Method at onecommune.com/youngeryou
