The Dr. Brighten Show

Top Foods That Delay Menopause: According to the Doctor Who Reversed Aging by 3 Years | Dr. Kara Fitzgerald


Listen Later

What if the foods you eat could literally turn back the clock on your biological age—and even delay menopause? In this groundbreaking episode of The Dr. Brighten Show, I’m joined by Dr. Kara Fitzgerald, a functional medicine leader and author of Younger You, to explore the science behind ovarian rejuvenation, age reversal, and how a longevity diet rich in polyphenols could hold the key to staying youthful longer—hormonally, mentally, and physically.

In this conversation, you’ll learn how Dr. Fitzgerald's clinical trial reduced biological age by over 3 years in just 8 weeks—using food rich in polyphenols, strategic lifestyle shifts, and zero expensive drugs or procedures. We unpack the emerging science of ovarian rejuvenation, how delaying menopause is tied to overall health (not beauty culture), and why the foods you choose daily may matter more than your genes when it comes to aging.
