How to Reduce Your Bio Age with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald

Did you know the average American is aging faster than they should? It’s true. Your biological age tends to be older than your actual age, and most of us will spend the last 16 years of our lives managing multiple illnesses. Needless to say, we need to do something about this—and fast.    Fortunately, we can. In this episode, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald joins me to talk about her mind-blowing study, in which they de-aged people by three years in just eight weeks. She’s going to explain the study, what they learned about the real levers of aging, why genetics aren’t as influential as we previously thought, and what we can all start doing today to live better for longer. You’re going to be shocked by how simple it is to literally turn back the clock.   FULL show notes: jjvirgin.com/youngeryou   Download a FREE copy of Inner Wellness, Outer Beauty: Your Anti-Aging Cheat Sheet: http://jjvirgin.com/antiaging   Learn how foods cause leaky gut in The Virgin Diet: https://store.jjvirgin.com/products/the-virgin-diet-paperback   Read my book, Sugar Impact Diet:  https://store.jjvirgin.com/collections/books/products/sugar-impact-diet-paperback-book   Subscribe to my podcast: http://subscribetojj.com   Learn more about Dr. Kara Fitzgerald: https://youngeryouprogram.com   Read Younger You: https://amzn.to/3NJKLKa   Study: Aging: Potential reversal of epigenetic age using a diet and lifestyle intervention: a pilot randomized clinical trial: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33844651/   Study: Aging Cell: Reversal of epigenetic aging and immunosenescent trends in humans: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6826138/   Dr. Joe Dispenza meditations: https://drjoedispenza.com/?rfsn=6914154.37386a&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6914154.37386a   Try Pluck organ meat seasoning: https://amzn.to/3NIWPM1   Listen to Is There Such a Thing as “Anti-Nutrients”? with Dr. Deanna Minich: https://jjvirgin.com/main-podcast/is-there-such-a-thing-as-anti-nutrients-with-dr-deanna-minich-ep-585/   Read Eat to Beat Disease by Dr. William W.
