Did you know the average American is aging faster than they should? It’s true. Your biological age tends to be older than your actual age, and most of us will spend the last 16 years of our lives managing multiple illnesses. Needless to say, we need to do something about this—and fast.    Fortunately, we can. In this episode, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald joins me to talk about her mind-blowing study, in which they de-aged people by three years in just eight weeks. She’s going to explain the study, what they learned about the real levers of aging, why genetics aren’t as influential as we previously thought, and what we can all start doing today to live better for longer. You’re going to be shocked by how simple it is to literally turn back the clock.   FULL show notes: jjvirgin.com/youngeryou   Download a FREE copy of Inner Wellness, Outer Beauty: Your Anti-Aging Cheat Sheet: http://jjvirgin.com/antiaging   Learn how foods cause leaky gut in The Virgin Diet: https://store.jjvirgin.com/products/the-virgin-diet-paperbac

I’m joined by Gin Stephens, a science teacher turned fasting expert, who lost 80 pounds––and has kept it off for 10 years—with intermittent fasting.  In this discussion, we're talking about the hardest part of intermittent fasting: getting started.
