ENCORE: How To Slow, and Even Reverse, Our Biological Clocks, Part 1
September 6, 2023
Dr. Kara Fitzgerald is the author of a landmark study that demonstrates conclusively that lifestyle impacts, not just disease, but the aging process itself. It does so via epigenetic modification, the mechanism by which environmental factors orchestrate the expression of genes. Dr. Fitzgerald has incorporated her findings in a new book "Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better." She details how diet, sleep, exercise, stress reduction, and avoidance of toxic chemicals can slow, and even reverse, our biological clocks. The key is DNA methylation, which can be assessed via commercially-available saliva test kits. Dr. Fitzgerald lists specific supplements that may augment the benefits of a low-carb, plant-rich diet incorporating high-quality animal protein. Her pioneering research validates the far-reaching benefits of natural lifestyle interventions. Click HERE for part 2.

ENCORE: A Comprehensive Look at Cognitive Decline, Part 1
June 20, 2023
Dr. Andrew Budson is a neurologist and memory researcher whose recent book, "Six Steps to Managing Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia: A Guide for Families" is a comprehensive look at cognitive decline. How do you determine whether you or a loved one is progressing toward dementia or merely suffering ordinary age-related memory decline? Are there tests? Why are we seeing such an uptick in Alzheimer's cases--is it merely because people are living longer, or is it something about lifestyle? What are some of the risk factors for Alzheimer's? If a family member has it, is it inevitable you'll get it? What about brain games? Exercise? Diet? Can stress accelerate memory decline? Dr. Budson shares his views on the controversial new Alzheimer's drug, Aduhelm. Do other drugs really help? What about Prevagen? What commonly-used medications can undermine memory? How to avoid caregiver burnout? Click HERE for part 2.
