How To Reverse Your Biological Age with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, BiOptimizers, and
Thrive Market. What if I told you it was possible to reverse your
age by three years, in just eight weeks? Well, it is, and today you
can learn how. Perhaps the greatest part of this exciting news is
that the changes we can make to reverse biological aging are pretty
simple and very accessible. The amazing doctor behind this
groundbreaking research is my good friend, colleague, and long-time
collaborator Dr. Kara Fitzgerald.  Dr. Fitzgerald is on the
faculty of the Institute for Functional Medicine, is an IFM
Certified Practitioner, and lectures globally on Functional
Medicine. She runs a Functional Medicine Clinic Immersion program
for professionals and hosts a podcast series, New Frontiers in
Functional Medicine, and an active blog on her website. Her
clinical practice is in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. With the Helfgott
Research Institute, Dr. Fitzgerald is actively engaged in clinical
research on the DNA methylome using a diet and lifestyle
intervention developed in her practice. The first publication from
the study focuses on the reversal of biological aging and was
published this past April in the journal Aging. Her new book,
Younger You, as well as her 3 Years Younger Program, have just been
released.  This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health,
