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.

What’s wrong with the American healthcare system? We had one of the world’s worst fatality rates with Covid and we trail most advanced countries in life expectancy. At the same time, we spend way more per capita on medical treatments. Matthew Rees, founder of Food and Health Facts, offers his incisive views on how to improve our nation’s health: we need more education, for the public and for health professionals; perverse incentives like subsidies for poor quality food need to be eliminated; and certain forms of food advertising to impressionable kids should be prohibited . Rees addresses the limitations of newly-popularized weight loss drugs. He discusses why health disparities are widening among Americans. And he offers lessons from the pandemic. Overall, his message is that we need to apply the same precision to prevention that we currently leverage toward development of pricey high-tech medical breakthroughs.

Dr. Richard Amerling is a board-certified nephrologist and Past-President of the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS). He currently serves as Associate Medical Director of America’s Frontline Doctors. What is EBM? Originally intended to bring scientific rigor to the practice of medicine, EBM has been hijacked to further the aims of BigPharma to standardize drug and vaccine protocols with sketchy evidence of safety and efficacy. EBM robs physicians of autonomy and limits their therapeutic options. The result is a kind of paint-by-numbers medicine. Dr. Amerling discusses how this has restricted plausible therapies for Covid; other examples include past campaigns to exaggerate the benefits of cholesterol drugs, installing them as “standard of care”. With their pliant enablers in the media, governments are leveraging EBM to limit what drugs and therapies are available to patients.
