The Science of Longevity: How Lifestyle Shapes Your DNA

What if your daily nutrition and lifestyle choices could influence how your genes are expressed and how quickly you age?

Join FMCA Founder and CEO Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum for an Ask the Expert conversation with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald, functional medicine clinician, researcher, and leader in epigenetics and longevity.

Dr. Fitzgerald’s peer-reviewed research, published in the journal Aging, explores how targeted diet and lifestyle interventions can support DNA methylation and potentially reduce biological age in both middle-aged men and women.

In this conversation, Dr. Sandi and Dr. Fitzgerald will discuss the science of epigenetics, its relevance to healthy aging, and how health coaches can apply this knowledge to support clients through practical, evidence-informed lifestyle strategies.

During This Webinar You Will Learn:

  • The difference between chronological age and biological age
  • How epigenetics and DNA methylation influence aging and longevity
  • Key findings from Dr. Fitzgerald’s clinical research
  • How nutrition and lifestyle choices impact gene expression
  • Practical ways health coaches can support clients interested in healthy aging
