What if everything you’ve been told about aging is wrong?
In this powerful episode, Kevin English sits down with world-renowned longevity expert Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, founder of Gladden Longevity and author of 100 is the New 30, to unpack what it really takes to feel young, strong, and energized – well into your 70s, 80s, and beyond.
Dr. Gladden shares his personal health crisis that led him to leave a 25-year cardiology career and devote his life to helping people live younger for longer. He explains the massive difference between “normal” and “optimal” aging – and why conventional medicine is stuck in the past when it comes to helping us thrive.
Whether you’re tired of feeling tired, frustrated with your doctor’s advice, or simply want to live with purpose and power in the second half of life… this conversation is your blueprint for transformation.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why “normal aging” is a myth – and how to aim for *optimal* instead
How Dr. Gladden reversed depression, brain fog, and weight gain in his 50s
What “life energy” is – and why it may be your most important health metric
The difference between sick care, functional medicine, and longevity medicine
How personalized testing and AI are shaping the future of health
Why mindset, meaning, and spiritual connection matter just as much as diet and exercise
What you can do *right now* to start aging backward
You’ll walk away from this episode inspired, informed, and ready to reclaim your vitality.
