Dr. Kara Fitzgerald, who excitedly just published a study and has a coming book expanding upon

this study that found a dietary and lifestyle-based

intervention was able to reduce aging as measured by a validated measure for aging, actually

reducing aging in this cohort after eight weeks by three

years. And one of the main mechanisms was through modulating methylation. However, there's

one or two other key points I want to flag for you here that we will hit in the body of

the discussion. But as Kara has mentioned on the podcast in her prior appearance, over-methalation

is a problem or can be a problem. So taking high doses of vitamin isolates for a long period of

time can be problematic. However, there are

some food-based agents like turmeric, green tea, and rosemary that could loosely be termed as

methylation adaptogens that are safe and beneficial in the longer term.

Okay, so that's kind of the few main remarks I wanted to give you here, to give you a sense

for what this podcast is about.

And again, just want to flag and thank Kara for publishing a randomized placebo-controlled trial, which is great science,

and really validating that approaches very central to functional medicine,

these dietary and lifestyle-based interventions, can, in this case, lead to a reduction in aging.

After eight weeks, remember, they documented over
