Younger You : Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better (Hardcover)

"Healthspan is the period in life that we spend in good health, yet most of us are going to be staring at a 16-year decline that predicts disease, pain, and discomfort-an unavoidable accumulation of indignities and infirmities. But what if aging didn’t look that way? What if you could stave off the diseases of aging by slowing your aging process? What if there was a simple formula to keep you healthy, agile, and energetic? Dr. Kara Fitzgerald has that formula: methyl donors + adaptogens + lifestyle = Younger You. While there’s nothing we can do about our chronological age, our biological age is an entirely different matter. And that’s where Dr. Fitzgerald’s plan comes in. You don’t need expensive, inaccessible, and risky medications to lower your age. With strategic delicious foods and common-sense lifestyle practices, you can positively influence genetic expression. Dr. Fitzgerald’s study is the first to demonstrate that it is possible to reverse biological aging using an easy, accessible nutrition and lifestyle program. Now, she shares the program that study subjects used to shave two years off their age. With assessment tools for determining your biological age, bio-hacking strategies that bring you to just the right balance of methylation, lists of key foods that support the formula for reducing your age, and plan for putting it all into practice with recipes, meal plans, and simple lifestyle strategies, Younger You proves that not only can you avoid the dreaded chronic diseases of aging, you can actually reduce your biological age for a more vibrant, longer healthspan"–

Based on the groundbreaking study that shaved three years off a subjects’ age in just eight weeks, discover a proven, accessible plan to prevent diseases and reduce your biological age.

It’s true: getting older is inevitable and your chronological age can only move in one direction. But you also have a biological age, which scientists can measure by assessing how your genes are expressed through epigenetics. Exciting new research shows that your bio age can actually move in reverse–and Dr. Kara Fitzgerald’s groundbreaking, rigorous clinical trial proved it’s possible. By eating delicious foods and establishing common-sense lifestyle practices that positively influence genetic expression, study participants reduced their bio age by just over three years in only eight weeks!

Now Dr. Fitzgerald shares the diet and lifestyle plan that shows you how to influence your epigenetics for a younger you. In Younger You you’ll learn:

• It’s not your genetics that determines your age and level of health, it’s your epigenetics
• How DNA methylation powerfully influences your epigenetic expression
• The foods and lifestyle choices that most affect DNA methylation
• Simple swaps to your daily routines that will add years to your life
• The full eating and lifestyle program, with recipes and meal plans, to reduce your bio age and increase vitality
• How to take care of your epigenetic expression at every life stage, from infancy through midlife and your later decades

We don’t have to accept a descent into disease and unwellness as we age as inevitable: when you reduce bio age you reduce your odds of developing all the major diseases, including diabetes, cancer, and dementia. With assessment tools for determining your bio age, recipes, and plans for putting it all into practice, Younger You helps you repair years of damage, ward off chronic disease, and optimize your health–for years to come.
