One of the hallmarks of aging is mitochondrial dys One of the hallmarks of aging is mitochondrial dysfunction, which can manifest prominently within the skin, giving rise to the visible signs of aging. 

However, there are things we can do to slow down this process. A promising agent in this arena is Urolithin A - a novel postbiotic compound well studied for its role in improving mitochondrial health with a myriad of beneficial downstream effects.

In our upcoming FxMed Clinic Immersion Webinar, Dr. Anurag Singh author of over 40 scientific papers and Chief Medical Officer at @timelinenutrition will dive into the science behind this fascinating gut-derived molecule, and its wide-reaching benefits for mitochondrial function, skin, immune & muscle health and longevity.

Since epigenetic clocks first captured the awe and Since epigenetic clocks first captured the awe and attention of scientists around the world, the development and use of algorithms based on DNA methylation that can predict your chronological age as well as biological age (including morbidity, mortality, and rate of aging) has expanded rapidly. 

Today, scientists continue to use a variety of non-proprietary biological age clocks that have been developed over the past decade (i.e. research is not limited to the most recently developed clocks).

And research broadly continues to support the utility of DNA methylation-based biological age clocks in predicting health outcomes.

We’re also beginning to see that interventions that are deliberately designed to target and optimize DNA methylation patterns (such as the Younger You program) may have the biggest impact on measures of biological age, although larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Find out more about each of these clocks and the research studies on their applications in this month’s blog written by @romillyhodges here (link in bio): https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/2023/11/06/new-and-notable-studies-using-epigenetic-biological-age-clocks/

Fiber is important for many essential processes in Fiber is important for many essential processes in the body, including GI function and detoxification, yet many of us don’t get enough of it in our daily diet.

The easiest way to add more fiber is simply to reach for more plants! Whether it’s a handful of nuts, a snack of carrots and celery with nut butter, or having that side salad with your meal, it’s easy to start incorporating more fiber into your daily life.

Get more practical tips in this blog from the team @organicpharmer.

SIBO is short for small intestinal bacterial overg SIBO is short for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, meaning there are excessive numbers of bacteria in the small intestine – even of the good kinds. 

 These bacteria act on prebiotic foods in your diet (like onions, garlic, beans, asparagus, and apples), producing hydrogen and/or methane gas that gives rise to symptoms. 

Symptoms can include bloating, indigestion, gas, abdominal pain, reflux, diarrhea, and/or constipation. Nutrient malabsorption can occur. 

In addition, some non-digestive symptoms can be related to underlying SIBO due to the circulation of inflammatory compounds in the gut and nutrient imbalances over time – fatigue, brain fog, skin conditions such as rosacea, headaches, joint pain, interstitial cystitis, restless legs syndrome weight loss, anemia, and other nutrient deficiencies, for instance. 

In this case studies blog from the team @rupa_health at Rupa Health, we can see how resolving SIBO with functional medicine interventions also lead to the resolution of rosacea and restless leg syndrome, and improved overall health too.
