Who doesn't want to stay young longer? Once most of us hit our late 30s we start thinking about aging and anti-aging strategies. But to be effective they must go way beyond facial creams and serums. Today on the podcast special host Ashley Kraus joins Susan Morgan Bailey to speak with Lara Zakaria PharmD MS, CNS, CDN, IFMCP from The Sandy Hook Clinic about:
- The role of functional medicine within the medical community.
- What methylation is and its role in our cellular, gene and DNA health.
- How diet and nutrition can impact the methylation process in our bodies.
- The role genes and genetics play in health outcomes and how some aspects of genetic expression can be impacted by lifestyle factors.
- How a pro-methylation diet and lifestyle changes reduced biological DNA age in a recent clinical study.
- When vitamin and mineral supplementation can be helpful to healthy methylation for some people.
- The difference between chronological age and biological age.
- The role sleep, emotional health and movement play in DNA repair and healthy aging.
As always this isn't medical advice, please consult your own qualified health professionals before making health and healthcare decisions.
