The info you are putting out is awesome. You’re playing an enormous role in helping so many practitioners and people to better understand the immune system and all the wonderful bioactives and lifestyle modifications that can make a difference.  Thanks for all the time, effort, and research that you put in on a daily basis to help others. You should certainly be proud of what you do.

Dr. Fitzgerald’s book is an extraordinary integration of a vast amount of diverse information that makes practical sense of the complex interplay between our genes, the folate/vitamin B12 cycle, homocysteine, and the clinical importance of methylation. 

Jeffrey Bland, PHDPresident PLMI

I was thrilled to see the principles of a methylation food plan. This helped to confirm my teaching principles.

Kylene Bogden, MS, RDN, CSSD, LDNCleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine

The nutrition methylation webinar has fabulous information on methylation and specific nutrients that are required to support the process. I think I can speak for our team of dietitian nutritionists in saying that it is valuable to connect the science and biochemistry from Dr. Fitzgerald’s point of view with the nutrition and implementation from Romilly. They are a knowledgeable team! I love that this is a food-first approach with an emphasis on food and dietary intervention for sustainable long-term nutritional support. Food is not just medicine, it’s information for methylation and you can’t supplement your way out of a bad diet!

Brigid Titgemeier, MS, RDN, LDCleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine

I enjoyed the presentation and really appreciated the food first approach. There were many talking points to help solidify this concept with patients, particularly those that don’t “buy in” to the food first approach or simply want to take a supplement.

Lindsay Malone, MS, RD, CSO, LDCleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine

Dr. Kara Fitzgerald always produces clinically relevant and compelling cutting-edge content in her blogs, PodCasts and newsletters and I try to never miss one. Her dept of knowledge in the functional medicine paradigm and its relevance to modifying the course of the chronic disease epidemic is not only valuable, but inspiring. She is a respected colleague and I always appreciate the effort she puts into keeping up the important dialogue between integrative and functional medicine clinicians, as well as her clear desire to educate the health care consumer in the process. Dr. David M. Brady (University of Bridgeport, Designs for Health, Inc., Diagnostic Solutions Labs, LLC, and DrDavidBrady.com)

I want to drop you a note to tell you how much I enjoy your newsletter-Your newsletter is no doubt the best newsletter I receive. It’s not too long, not too short, yet chock full of great info, and, most importantly for the reader, enjoyable to read because your playfulness comes through. All of this separates your newsletter from the pack. You are doing a superb job, and it’s a pleasure to read! Keep it up!

Robert Hedaya, MDClinical Professor of Psychiatry

I’ve had the opportunity to review Dr. Kara Fitzgerald’s blogs. She is a well-recognized leader of functional, integrative medicine. Her blogs effervesce with her enthusiasm for her subject matter and convey her genuine warmth and compassion for her patients. She writes in an engaging style while conveying significant and meaningful information about the varied topics she has covered. They are simply fun to read and easy to learn from her wealth of experience.

Shalesh Kaushal, MD PhD

Dr. Kara’s blogs are current, scientifically sound, and relevant to clinical care. Her case studies and reviews are focused on how to improve clinical thinking and outcomes using a systems biology and functional medicine approach. They are one of my favorite learning tools and I look forward to her insights and interviews monthly!

Sarah Lobisco, NDND, IFM-CP

Dr. Fitzgerald is what you get when you merge a brilliant clinical brain with a powerful loving heart. Her ability to incorporate seemingly disparate details into a mosaic of meaning that can improve patient care is extraordinary. The opportunity to learn from her should never be missed without great reason.

David H. Haase, MDIFM-CP, FABFM, DABIHM, CNS, BCN

Kara and I have co-authored case studies for peer-reviewed articles and textbooks over the years. I love reading her blog, while evidenced-based and geared towards the professional, the casual style makes for fun reading!

Dr. Mark Hyman, MD9 Time NY Times Best Selling Author

I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog and recommend it to the medical students. It is interesting, informative and up to date as well as an excellent supplement to their text.

Albert E. Dahlberg, MD, PhDProfessor, Brown University

Dr. Kara Fitzgerald’s writing style is clear, concise, well-translated from scientific gobbledygook to understandable every language. And most importantly, it’s accurate.

Dr. Tom O’BryanFounder: The Gluten Summit

Of the myriad blogs I receive in my inbox, Kara’s is one that I actually read! It’s funny, clinically relevant and smart.

Sara Gottfried, MDNYT Best Selling Author, Clinician

I am a regular reader of Dr Fitzgerald’s blog/newsletter. I read it because it is useful. Dr. Fitzgerald, stimulated by a recent article, looks into the bulk of the literature and synthesizes the relevant takeaways. Dr Fitzgerald is brilliant and always delivers clinical pearls.

Tom Sult, MDIFM Faculty, Author, Clinician

Wading through emails is not an ideal part of my day. For this reason, I’m very particular about who’s information I want coming into my inbox. When I see an email come in from Dr Fitzgerald, I stop what I am doing and I read it fully right then so I don’t miss it. Her content is always interesting, clinically relevant, cutting edge and many times entertaining as well. I only wish one thing: that she’d write more!

Ben Lynch, NDExpert on MTHFR & Epigenetics

Dr. Fitzgerald has her finger on what’s happening in holistic and integrative health and medicine. I love reading her blog! It’s always right on the mark!

Liz Lipski, PhD, CCN, CNS, CHNAuthor, Lecturer, Educator

I love reading Dr Fitzgerald newsletter! It is both funny and relevant and offers great info for my patients and colleagues.

Susan Blum, MD, MPHNYT Best Selling Author

Dr. Kara Fitzgerald is a clear, brilliant, and insightful clinician. She always seems to unwrap the story of the patient so well, then identifies the pertinent imbalances and together with the patient initiates the therapeutic plan with successful treatment. She is rare in the education and clinical circles. I always learn from her blogs, conversations, case studies, and lectures. She is an outstanding educator and functional medicine physician.

P. Michael Stone, M.D., M.SCertified Functional Medicine Clinician

I am so happy to have found Dr. Fitzgerald, Romilly and Rhonda who all care about my well being. My life has changed for the better and I will continue whatever staff recommends so I can enjoy my family and feel great.

Do you really trust your supplements? đź§Ş Accord Do you really trust your supplements? đź§Ş

According to our recent IG poll, over 80% of you said no.

And honestly? We get it.

Labels don’t always tell the full story. Behind every capsule should be sourcing, testing, identity, purity, and potency — and too often, those standards are missing.

That’s why I’m hosting a live webinar with Travis Borchardt, VP of Product Integrity at @integrativetherapeutics to pull back the curtain on supplement manufacturing.

We’ll dig into:
 ✔️ The behind-the-scenes practices that ensure clinical confidence
 ✔️ Why transparency in every step — from raw ingredients to finished product — matters more than ever
 ✔️ How to vet supplements with science (and integrity) on your side

📅 Save your spot now: Comment May 2025 and we’ll DM you the link, or head to drkarafitzgerald.com/webinars.

Can’t make it live? Register anyway, and we’ll send you the recording. 🎥

We talk a lot about symptom management in joint he We talk a lot about symptom management in joint health—but what if we could actually see evidence of repair?

In this clip, research microbiologist Kiran Krishnan shares exciting new clinical trial data on a unique botanical blend that leads to:
 🦴 50% reduction in cartilage degeneration markers (CTX, uCTX)
 🧬 50% increase in regeneration markers
 📉 Significant improvements in pain and mobility by day 7
 📸 And yes—visible changes in joint space on radiographs.

For those of us working with osteoarthritis, inflammaging, or chronic inflammatory burden, this is the kind of intervention that gets my attention.

🚨 Toxic Food Additives: Finally Under the Micro 🚨 Toxic Food Additives: Finally Under the Microscope

The FDA is beginning to crack down on several food chemicals long flagged as endocrine disruptors and potential carcinogens—think red dye 3, brominated vegetable oil, and more.

We’ve known for years that these additives don’t belong in a healthy diet, but now we’re seeing long-overdue regulatory shifts. In our latest blog, I break down what’s changing, why it matters, and how we can help patients navigate these exposures right now—especially as change in policy takes time.

Because when it comes to food and longevity, what we avoid is just as important as what we add in.

đź§  For clinicians: I include practical guidance for educating patients, with EWG tools, simple swaps, and strategies to reduce cumulative burden.

I have so many conversations with women (and clini I have so many conversations with women (and clinicians) who are asking the same question: “My estrogen is normal… so why am I still at risk?”

Here’s the thing: It’s not just about how much estrogen you have.

It’s about how your body processes it.

That’s where urinary hormone metabolite testing comes in—and I’ve found it to be one of the most insightful tools for understanding estrogen metabolism and breast cancer risk.

đź’ˇ In our latest blog from @doctorsdata Dr. Lylen Ferris breaks down:
 – What this test tells us that bloodwork doesn’t
 – Why certain metabolite pathways may increase risk
 – And how we can use this info to better support detox, hormone balance, and whole-person health

This isn’t just theoretical—it’s helping us personalize care in real and meaningful ways. 🙌
