Thank you for joining us for episode 362 of Live Happy Now.

We all want to live longer, healthier lives, and if we can get younger while doing it, well then all the better.

I'm your host, Paula Phelps, and this week, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald joins us to talk about her new book, Younger You,

Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer Better.

Kara is one of the leading experts looking at the intersection of nutrition, epigenetics, and aging,

and she's here to talk about what her research teaches us on how to not only become healthier,

but to actually reduce our biological age from the inside out. Let's find out how. Kara, welcome to live happy now.

It is such a delight to be with you today, Paula. Well, you have no idea how much time I've spent

with you since I received your book. It's really funny because every

year my partner and I are like, okay, so what are our health goals for this year? What are we going to do to

up our game? We were kind of stumped because it's like we got things pretty clean at this point.

And then your book arrived. Wow. And it's like, oh, okay, yeah, we can take it to the next level. So this book is absolutely incredible. I really have to say it's such a wonderful roadmap to get us through our next years.

Oh, I am so thrilled to hear that. I am just really tickled. Yeah, I couldn't ask for more. I think we can all mine some of this new knowledge that we're learning.

Yeah. And what's so wonderful about this book is no matter where you're at in this,

you're going to see a difference. Because even if you're, if you have a horrible diet and you're not

exercising, you're not doing any of those things, you're going to see really dramatic results.

But even for us, we live a pretty clean life, we exercise regularly, we've seen a difference by implementing some new things that are mentioned

in your book. Yeah, I know. That's one of the cool things about conducting this in a healthy

population. I mean, our findings were identified in people whose baseline was very healthy.

I mean, it took us a while to recruit our study population for that reason.

So they were healthy at baseline and we got them healthier.

That's, to me, is just extraordinary.
