YOUNGER YOU UNDERSTANDING BIO AGE
It’s no great leap to say your bio age matters more than your chronological one. In the sections ahead, I’ll walk you through what your bio age is and I’ll even tell you how to take your first steps towards lowering it. Or if you want to jump right in, you can take either the free Biological Age Self-Assessment Quiz or access my recommended Biological Age Lab Test now.
~ Dr FitzgeraldWHY CHRONOLOGICAL AGE MATTERS LESS THAN BIOLOGICAL AGE
Your chronological (or calendar) age is the one you already know, but it’s also the one that tells you the least. For example, three 45-year-olds might share a chronological age, but can have different life expectancies, health, happiness, and vitality Bio age differs from chronological age in another crucial way –while the latter can only go one direction, bio age can go forward or backward, depending on damage and repair In other words, with the right tactics, your physiology can grow younger Really!
WHAT GOES INTO A BIOLOGICAL AGE?
When determining your bio age, several factors are at play that can either accelerate or reverse it, including:
Factors That Decrease or Slow Biological Age
Good Gut Bacteria
Balanced Exercise
7-9 Hours of Sleep (for most)
Meditation/Mindfulness Practice
An Epinutrient-rich Diet
Cuddling & Physical Touch (Yep, that’s right!)
Factors That Increase or Accelerate Biological Age
High Blood Sugar
Environmental Toxins
Not Enough or Too Much Exercise
Certain Medications
Bad Gut Bacteria
Excess Stress

WHAT TO DO WITH WHAT YOU KNOW
Whatever your results, they are actionable The strategies used during my initial study successfully lowered bio age by an average of 3.23 years in participants compared with controls, and since then, my team has already learned more, as revealed in Younger You. It really is possible to not only extend life but quality of life, warding off disease and decline through easy-to-implement diet and lifestyle changes
