Biological Age Vs. Chronological Age: Epigenetic Strategies To Stay Younger, Longer

Kara Fitzgerald, ND, IFMCP, explains how nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress can influence epigenetics and potentially slow biological aging. Kara Fitzgerald, ND, IFMCP, explores how epigenetics may help explain why biological age can differ from chronological age. She shares findings from her research on diet and lifestyle interventions, including nutrient-dense foods, exercise, sleep, stress reduction, and gentle fasting, while explaining how these everyday habits may influence gene expression and biological aging. Kara Fitzgerald, ND, IFMCP, is a functional medicine physician, researcher, and author with advanced training in nutritional biochemistry and laboratory science. She has contributed to leading integrative and functional medicine texts and, with the Helfgott Research Institute, has conducted clinical research on how targeted diet and lifestyle interventions influence DNA methylation and biological aging.
