People think about fitness as a set, you know, root, you know, that you need to do this and this and this, and then you, you'd be good. Yeah. And when you're 18, lifting some weights and going for a run gets the job done. But when you're in your 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, even in your 40s, you know, if you're not training specifically for quickness, we lose fast twitch muscle fibers as we age. So if you're not training those to bring those back online, you lose that.
Ever thought about how different parts of your body age at different rates? Dr. Jeffrey Gladden has, and he's here to share his groundbreaking approach to longevity and holistic health. In this episode of 'The Dr. Joy Kong Podcast', Dr. Gladden takes us on a journey from his early days as an interventional cardiologist to his current role as a leader in longevity medicine.
His passion for bringing advanced cardiology services to underserved areas eventually led him to create Gladden Longevity, a clinic focused on life, energy, health, and performance optimization. Dr. Gladden's personal wake-up call came in his 40s when he realized that traditional medical practices weren't enough to address the complexities of aging. This epiphany drove him to explore age management and functional integrative medicine, leading to transformative insights about hormone depletion, genetic factors, and the non-linear nature of aging.
He emphasizes that understanding our multiple biological ages is crucial for effective health optimization. But it's not just about science; Dr. Gladden's approach is deeply personal. He shares how his experiences as an athlete and a cardiologist have shaped his views on health and longevity. His philosophy challenges conventional ideas about aging, advocating for a comprehensive lifestyle strategy that addresses root causes rather than just symptoms.
If you're curious about how to live young for a lifetime, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Gladden's nuanced and detailed approach offers a symphony of strategies to help you optimize your health and reverse the aging process. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that could change the way you think about your own well-being.
