• Why Functional Medicine Is the Future of Longevity

  Can functional medicine unlock the secrets to healthy aging? In this special preview of the Functional Medicine is Longevity Medicine™ Masterclass happening on September 17- September 19, 2025, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald sits down with three leading voices in medicine and research: - Dr. Bob Rountree: functional medicine pioneer in integrative approaches to health - Dr. Dale Bredesen: internationally recognized expert on Alzheimer’s prevention and reversal - Dr. Charles Serhan: Harvard researcher on inflammation resolution and aging biology Together, they explore how functional medicine reframes longevity by addressing root causes, supporting cognitive health, and resolving chronic inflammation. Whether you’re a clinician, health professional, or simply passionate about living longer and healthier, this conversation offers a glimpse into the science and practical applications that are transforming longevity medicine.

• Why Centenarians Are Defying Science: Secrets to Living 100+

  It was a pleasure to sit down with Dr. Nir Barzilai for a conversation that turned out to be both lively and thought-provoking. His decades of research on centenarians, biological age, and the hallmarks of aging have shaped how we think about longevity—and what’s possible when we start targeting aging itself, not just individual diseases. We get into the science behind why some people live 20–30 years longer and healthier, and what it means to measure the biological age of individual organs. But we also hit a few sparks—especially when it comes to nutraceuticals and the role of metformin in prevention. I don’t agree with everything you’ll hear, and I followed up with Dr. Barzilai afterward to unpack some of the more provocative claims. We may just need a second round for this one... stay tuned.

• The Science-Backed Bitter Compound That Mimics GLP-1 (No Injections Needed!)

  I’ve been watching the science behind Calocurb evolve over the last year, and I have to say—this is one of the most exciting clinical tools I’ve seen emerge in the metabolic space in quite some time. A hops-derived compound that stimulates endogenous GLP-1, CCK, and PYY—without a prescription or injection? That’s a big deal, especially for patients struggling with appetite regulation, weight plateaus, or the aftermath of GLP-1 discontinuation. In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Kennedy, founder of New Zealand-based Calocurb, to talk about the years of government-funded research that led to this discovery, the remarkable clinical outcomes they’ve seen so far, and how I’ve personally used it in my practice with excellent results. If you’re looking for science-backed, natural strategies to support appetite control, fasting, or GLP-1 transitions—this one’s worth a listen. ~DrKF Check out the show notes at https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ for the full list of links and resources. GUEST DETAILS Sarah Kennedy, Founder and CEO of Calocurb Ltd. Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-kennedy-0a840b13/ Sarah Kennedy, BVSc, is a veterinarian and health industry leader with 20+ years in nutrition science and innovation. Now CEO of Calocurb, she brings a unique perspective on natural GLP-1 activation—bridging plant-based research, gut physiology, and clinical application.

• 10 Year Anniversary: What I Learned After 200+ Conversations with the Best Minds in FxMed

  In this very special episode, I have the privilege of turning the tables on Dr. Kara Fitzgerald as we celebrate 10 years of the New Frontiers podcast. I’ve been honored to walk alongside Kara on much of this journey—as a colleague, a collaborator, a mentee, and a friend—and it’s been incredible to witness the evolution of both her work and the field itself. Together, we reflect on the stories, science, and people who have shaped this podcast—and the remarkable growth of epigenetics, personalized medicine, and functional medicine along the way. From early conversations around methylation and aging to hosting pioneers like Dr. Jeff Bland, Dr. Sidney Baker, and Dr. Charles Serhan, New Frontiers has become a living archive of how this field has moved forward. As we talked about during the conversation: “Everybody is a piece of this ecosystem, and everybody has their role... It’s really cool to be part of that community.” This episode is a celebration of that collective journey—and a look at where we’re headed next. ~Romilly Hodges MS CNS Check out the show notes at https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ for the full list of links and resources.

• Dead Mitochondria Might Be Fueling Cardiovascular Aging — Here’s The Fix

  This is a really exciting conversation with Dr. Davide D’Amico from Timeline, where we’re taking a closer look at Urolithin A and heart health. It should come as no surprise that this mitochondrial wonderkin of a nutrient is showing promise here—especially when you consider that 40% of the heart’s weight is mitochondria. That’s an extraordinary factoid, and one that really shifts how we think about aging in the cardiovascular system. What’s particularly compelling in this new preclinical research is that restoring mitochondrial function may do more than just improve ejection fraction. It may also have ripple effects on other hallmarks of aging—like chronic inflammation, cellular stress signaling, and impaired autophagy. I’m thrilled Timeline is continuing to invest in both preclinical and clinical research on this front—and yes, I’m totally nerding out over what they’re up to. ~DrK Check out the show notes at https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ for the full list of links and resources. GUEST DETAILS Davide D'Amico, PhD: Director of Discovery and Translational Research at Timeline. With over 15 years of experience in mitochondrial and aging biology, he contributed to developing Urolithin A as a science-backed, clinically validated nutritional product to enhance mitochondrial and muscle health.
