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

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

Author: Dr. Kara Fitzgerald July 22, 2025 Duration: 1:17:27
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
