Summary

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 Listen to the full episode here.

0:03.7	We're featuring a chunk from a popular episode that we did with Dr.
0:08.3	Cara Fitzgerald who published the first of its kind study focused on how
0:12.9	individuals could reverse their biological age.
0:16.1	They could literally age in reverse.
0:18.7	So on today's episode, we're going through some of the top sections of my interview with
0:22.4	Cara, including three things that you can do today, simple things that anyone can do,
0:28.4	that the participants in Dr. Fitzgerald study did to begin the process of aging in reverse,
0:34.3	why stress is one of the biggest drivers of aging.
0:37.5	Cara also talks about how much of our genes are set in stone and how much are variable.
0:42.7	And if you are a fan of this podcast, you know that a lot are variable.
0:46.4	She also talks about how epigenics are involved in the process of cellular aging.
0:51.2	And lastly, she talks about her study and walks you through what the protocol was that
0:56.7	participants followed to begin to age and reverse in this eight week period where they
1:02.4	age and reverse by almost about three years on average.
1:06.6	I think you're going to enjoy today's episode.
1:08.6	Let me know your feedback and stay tuned.
1:12.9	Dr. Cara Fitzgerald, welcome to the podcast.

1:18.0	I'm going to jump right in and I'm going to talk about a little bit, or I'm going to ask you to
1:23.7	talk about aging in reverse. You were involved.
1:27.4	And we're going to talk all about this study, but just to give a little preview,
