Looking to make 2025 your healthiest year ever? “You can take control of your health by changing the way your genes express themselves,” says Florence Comite, MD. “Your genes don’t have to be your destiny.” In this episode, Dr. Comite switches seats with her guest, Deepti Agarwal MD, who interviews Comite about her career as a forward-thinking endocrinologist and innovator in Precision Medicine. Dr. Agarwal is an anesthesiologist, integrative medicine physician, and Director of Interventional and Integrative Pain Management at Case Integrative Health in Chicago.  You’ll learn…  How aging changes your body (beginning around age 30), specifically how the hormone testosterone declines by 1 to 3 percent per year in both men and women and what that means for your health.   Why your doctor needs to know your health story to make a difference in your health path. You’ll learn the elements necessary to write your health story.   About the “poor man’s genetic test,” the most underutilized tool for longevity.   Why the way to losing weight is moderation, not deprivation, and starting meals with protein to manage cravings for carbs.  How to be proactive about your health to prevent the disorders of aging—heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and more.  Dr. Comite began her medical journey at Yale University School of Medicine and continued with at Yale with a residency in medicine. She completed a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology (multidisciplinary training incorporating pediatrics, gynecology, and andrology) at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. She remained at the National Institutes of Health as a senior clinical research associate before joining the Yale faculty as an associate professor in endocrinology. During her 25-year faculty tenure, Dr. Comite founded and directed Women’s Health at Yale.  In 2005, she launched her bespoke medical practice, Comite Center for Precision Medicine & Healthy Longevity, in New York City and, subsequently expanded offices to Palo Alto and Miami Beach.  Through her medical practice and decades of clinical research, Dr. Comite recognized that all humans have inherited a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism (a glucose disorder leading toward diabetes), which is accelerated by aging and the natural decline of the hormones testosterone and estrogen, which begins around age 30.   Dr. Comite’s podcast delivers the truth about your health—that age-related disease begins early in life at the cellular level. By slowing and even reversing the biological aging process, we can stay active and in great health for life. She interviews renowned physicians, researchers, and thought leaders offering surprising insights and practical tips that listeners can use to improve their own health trajectory.
