Gladden Longevity Podcast

Dr. Aubrey de Grey is a biological gerontologist on a crusade to defeat aging. He thinks we are within a couple of decades of rejuvenation medicine capable of adding another 30 years to human lifespan, proposing that the first person to live to 1,000 years old may already be alive today. In the field of longevity science, there are a few roadblocks, but the biggest one is funding. They discuss why it isn't a higher priority for average people to further this research. Mark and Dr. de Grey cover a number of concepts at the forefront of anti-aging, such as whether increasing telomere lengths may be beneficial against aging or may cause side effects. Dr. de Grey suggests we learn more about the subject of defeating aging. Then become an advocate for the research, to bring about these medicines faster. Mark also asks Dr. de Grey about the morality of pursuing greater longevity for humans. Also on the podcast, Mark and Dr. Gladden discuss how the typical medical approach isn't designed to promote longevity but treat the immediate problem. Medicine is still, after all, a business. Reimbursement is always going to trump research. They consider de Grey's focus on finding a big breakthrough, versus the approach of making what you have better now, along the way.

Dr. Gladden expands on the function of stem cells in regard to these new findings. Ask yourself, "How does it change your thinking about the structure of your family, your work, community, etc., when you consider the ability to live 120 robust years?"

Dan Sullivan's Strategic Coach® program is how Mark and Dr. Gladden met, and Sullivan describes how he came to imagine a different kind of longevity than most people. He talks about how just thinking differently about the possibilities and changing his mindset about aging has helped him feel better and more capable of achieving his goal of living to 156. In Strategic Coach, Sullivan says, "Your eyes only see and your ears only hear what your brain is looking for," which applies directly to the mindset you need to live much longer. In the reverse, he talks about the three factors he believes predispose you to die.

However, every body works with food differently, and Gladden says that food may be the most important thing you can pay attention to for your mental and physical performance. Dr. Gladden, Mark and Robb each talk about their individual experiences with ketogenesis. Longevity requires the mind to be first, and then you bring your body along.

One of the biggest challenge to living longer is getting over the accepted idea that people can't live well much longer than they do now. Just because we haven't seen it with our own eyes does not mean it's impossible. We must take the first step to ask the right questions rather than being confined by our own experiences. Mark talks about what some researches have concluded about a change that happened in the history of humans that may have caused a dramatic change in average lifespan. They reveal one of the most dangerous products/pollutants ever made that finds its way into our systems, discuss just how important water is and suggest what you should be drinking. They also start considering some of the many problems with the current insurance and "healthcare" systems, showing how living to 120 means you'll be an outlier working outside of those systems. Cancer is something that can be detected much sooner than most doctors ever test for, and Dr. Gladden talks about what helps cancer thrive that we can eliminate or reduce from our diet. They also conclude how health and aging relate to one another.

Finally, ask yourself, "What can I do to cultivate a mindset that enables me to believe I can function at a younger age?"

Living beyond 120 years doesn't mean just flipping a switch, but it requires a slow on-ramp of changing your habits. However, this journey should start today at whatever condition your body is currently in. Diet and exercise isn't a one-size fits-all prescription for every person, as genetics play an important role in how your body processes certain foods and responds to different physical activity. Precision is the key to real health optimization. When it comes to eating well, we need to start thinking of food as a means to support our mission of health. This doesn't mean becoming a fanatic about food, but Dr. Gladden and Mark explain what foods should be avoided and how to choose better nutrition and establish better eating strategies. They suggest sustainable changes that you can make now to begin your path to healthy longevity.

Where does the goal of 120 years come from? What does it really mean to live that long? Host Mark Young and longevity expert Dr. Jeffrey Gladden explain the basics of what people need to extend their health span farther than most people ever realize is possible. They consider the evidence that proves what the body is capable of and the "astronaut mindset" that we need to achieve it. Dr. Gladden explains the impact of our genes and how much you can control the fate of your own health, including focusing on the overall eco-system of your body. The current health care system is a broken one, where it only treats sick people. Dr. Gladden explains what changed his thinking about his own health and that of his patients. He started shifting his approach and learning how to improve health.
