Your Nervous System Has an Age and You Probably Don't Want to Know It - Episode 330
In this episode, Dr. Jeff Gladden walks through a live stress and nervous system assessment with Carlos, a 29-year-old patient who has survived five accidents including three serious ones. Dr. Gladden breaks down what heart rate variability actually measures, why your stress index reveals how fast you're aging, and what vagus nerve power means for longevity. He explains why all of life comes down to optimizing the nervous system, how stress is fundamentally a function of not feeling safe, and why no external achievement can ever create true safety. Dr. Gladden introduces the concept of the 300-year-old mind and explains how combining nervous system training with the right perception of the world creates durable, long-lasting results. He also covers why your body is like a rainforest ecosystem that demands balance over brute force, why most people only eat 16 foods when they should be eating 50, and why your daily salad might actually be sensitizing your immune system. Whether you try meditation and cardio at home or go deeper with genetic and biometric testing, this episode gives you a clear roadmap for mastering your nervous system.

In this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden and neurologist Dr. Majid Fotuhi discuss building an "Invincible Brain." Challenging the myth that cognitive decline is inevitable, Dr. Fotuhi outlines five pillars—exercise, sleep, nutrition, stress management, and brain training, proven to increase brain volume and neuroplasticity. The discussion highlights how racket sports and balance training activate the cerebellum to boost overall function and reduce Alzheimer's risk. By consistently challenging the nervous system, you can shift the aging paradigm, achieving mental sharpness and vitality well into your 80s and 90s. This is the blueprint for lifelong brain health.

The Truth About GLP-1s Your Doctor Won't Tell You - Episode 325
In this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden sits down in person with fitness and nutrition expert Autumn Calabrese to unpack the full truth about GLP-1 agonists. With millions of people jumping on semaglutide, tirzepatide, and soon retatrutide, the conversation most doctors aren't having is about what's actually happening inside the body while the scale goes down. Dr. Gladden breaks down how GLP-1s suppress hunger, slow metabolism, and trigger muscle wasting when used without proper diagnostics or a supporting protocol. He explains the critical differences between GLP-1s, GLP-2s, and GLP-3s, reveals why the ghrelin rebound causes most people to regain everything they lost, and shares the strategies he uses in his practice to help patients lose fat while protecting lean tissue. From the 5-day fasting mimicking diet to natural GLP-1 boosters like metabolic probiotics and calocurb, this episode lays out a smarter, more sustainable path to optimizing body composition. Whether you're considering a GLP-1, already on one, or looking for alternatives, this is the conversation that could change your entire approach.

Book a call with the Gladden Longevity team → https://start.gladdenlongevity.com/apply-now Takeaways • Peptides are signaling partners, not substitutes for the work your body needs to do. • GLP-1s were designed for diabetics and metabolic syndrome, not casual weight loss. • GLP-1s decrease energy expenditure while GLP-3s (retatrutide) increase it. • Many GLP-1 users are losing muscle mass instead of fat without realizing it. • The ghrelin rebound after stopping a GLP-1 drives appetite higher than before while metabolism stays slower. • A fasting blood sugar and hemoglobin A1C alone are not enough to understand your metabolic health. • A two-hour glucose tolerance test with an insulin curve reveals insulin resistance most doctors completely miss. • The 5-day fasting mimicking diet resets ghrelin, taste buds, gut biome, and leptin sensitivity without destroying muscle. • You can boost your body's own natural GLP-1 production through the right probiotics and bitter receptor activation. • Weight gain is not always an appetite problem. Thyroid dysfunction, declining sex hormones, and missing micronutrients can all be the real driver. • Sex hormone optimization during perimenopause and andropause is critical for maintaining body composition. • Willpower never wins long term. Systems and environment design are what create durable results.
