Summary

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.

0:22.4	Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer and Better.
0:26.5	Her book is based on a groundbreaking clinical study that shaved three years off of subjects' age
0:34.7	using diet and lifestyle protocols.
0:37.2	Now, her latest book, Better Broths and Healing Tonics. off of subjects' age using diet and lifestyle protocols.

1:15.0	Kara and I get deep into the weeds on epigenetics and DNA methylation and how to use

1:30.7	We explore a couple of fascinating mechanisms, including biological embedding phenomena,
1:38.3	how the experience of trauma translates into your biochemistry and epigenetic inheritance phenomena, which is, in essence, the transgenerational passing down of acquired traits.
1:53.0	Now, both of these theories blow the door of genetic determinism. In short, most of the time, our destiny is not determined by our genes.
2:05.6	Now, I am thrilled to announce Commune's upcoming course with Dr. Fitzgerald, titled The Younger You
