Can This Blood Test Tell if You Are Going to Have a Heart Attack?
Do you know the #1 killer of people in the US that kills more people than all cancers combined? Join Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, Steve Reiter, and Rhonda Rhyne in this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast. Rhonda Rhyne is a highly accomplished healthcare executive with a Bachelor of Pharmacy and an MBA. Most of her career has been spent in cardiovascular medicine and industry, primarily in medical devices. With experience in General Electric Medical Systems and Cardiodynamics, she became fascinated by the biomarker world, particularly non-invasive cardiac output and single biomarkers such as BNP. Rhonda then became the CEO of Prevencio, leading the company towards developing multi-analyte or multi-protein tests after seeing the potential of these combinations. In this episode, they discuss current diagnostic testing modalities, including exercise/echo/nuclear stress tests, coronary artery calcium scores, cholesterol, single protein blood tests, and genetic scores that have lower accuracy as compared to AI-driven multiprotein blood tests. As the podcast progresses, they look at how Prevencio’s HART blood tests were developed through the use of AI to select and combine multiple proteins and optionally clinical parameters in an algorithm and scoring system that has almost 90% accuracy for detecting whether you have heart disease and are at imminent risk of heart attack (HART CADhs), or one year risk of heart attack, stroke or cardiac death (HART CVE). They discuss the negative effects of alcohol on sleep and exercise routines, as well as how the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase can contribute to aging. Rhonda shares their experience conducting cardiopulmonary exercise tests and strategies for protecting kidneys during contrast dye exposure. We dive into the importance of identifying insulin resistance and understanding genetic expression in predisposition to cardiovascular disease. Finally, we look at a new algorithm combining six parameters for a more accurate diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Do you know you can use the HART tests as a baseline to track and trend your hopeful improvement or deterioration of your heart? Listen to this episode to learn about making 100 the new 30 and living young for a lifetime! Dr. Gladden welcomes everyone to the show and shares how he met Rhonda (2:15) Rhonda shares how she got into what she presently does and her background. (3:15) Through proteins, we see how a genetic expression is. (5:33) Dr. Gladden highlights that high-sensitivity troponins and other proteins are being identified as potential markers for heart disease. (7:03) Dr. Gladden observes troponin levels rise in people who exercise but not exercising may show normal ranges. (9:55) Dr. Gladden shares how adiponectin protects arteries from oxidative stress. (12:22) Rhonda reveals that they fed machine learning all the proteins they could get. (14:30) Heart health comes down to a lot of things, not just one. (16:25) Rhonda says they are in the process of collecting data and doing case studies. (18:52) Gene expression can be modulated to achieve balance in the body's complex ecosystem using custom peptides. (21:42) Dr. Gladden says, in his practice, one of the issues he faced was taking care of people's kidneys. (23:28) Rhonda gives information about a test that is not commercialized yet but is just in the process. (26:56) Steve asks about the long-term effects of what Dr. Gladden mentioned. (27:40) Rhonda says the PAD will soon be available. (29:40) Rhonda discloses that, in August, she will have been with the company for ten years. (31:11) Dr. Gladden insinuates that there is a lot more to insulin levels than people realize. (33:23) There are no side effects in getting a simple blood test. (35:26) Rhonda talks about the accuracy of their tests compared to traditional ones. (38:02) Rhonda thanks Steve and Dr. Gladden for the podcast.

Is How You Are Thinking About Your Health Your Biggest Problem?
Join Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, Steve Reiter, and Dr. Howard Cohn in this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast. Howard Cohn is the CEO and Founder of the Cohn Health Institute. At the Cohn Health Institute, he has treated over 50,000 patients, trained over 50 associate doctors, and taught over 1500 health education classes. Dr. Cohn believes the body was designed to heal itself as long as it’s given the correct basic building blocks in order to do so and is allowed to function free of interference. During that time, he built his own global nutritional supplement company, SevenPoint2, which was later acquired by Seacret Direct, where Dr. Cohn now serves as the Director of Product Development for Nutrition and the Chairman of the Science Advisory Board. This episode discusses how the body is designed to heal itself if given the right tools and allowed to function free of interference, that nutritional supplementation is a necessity, not a luxury, and that when working with patients if you’re not testing, you're guessing. As the conversation deepens, they talk about time-tested nutritional supplement protocols for health and healing. Do you know the difference between prevention and early detection? Listen to find out more. Listen to this episode to learn about making 100 the new 30, and living beyond 120! Dr. Gladden welcomes and introduces Dr. Cohn.

What You Don't Know About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

What You Don't Know About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Join Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, Steve Reiter and Dr. Paul Harch in this episode of the Gladden Longevity podcast. Paul G. Harch, M.D. is a clinical private practice and academic physician who made a discovery in 1989 treating divers with chronic brain decompression illness. He found that the wounds in these divers’ brains were similar to chronic extremity wounds, but they were only responsive to a non-traditional dose of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. In 2004, based on the life-extending outcomes of treating patients with dementia, he proposed the longevity potential of HBOT to the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. In March 2020, he proved the efficacy of HBOT in mild TBI persistent post-concussion syndrome in a randomized controlled trial and proposed HBOT application to COVID. Now in its 3rd edition, HBOT is explained as an epigenetic therapy with expected revolutionary effects on medicine, neurology, and longevity. In this episode, they talk about HBOT as a dual-component drug, the primary target of HBOT, and how HBOT is a treatment for wounds and inflammatory conditions in any location and of any duration. Do you know the medical benefits of HBOT? Listen to find out more. Listen to this episode to learn about making a 100 the new 30, and living beyond 120! Dr. Gladden considers Dr. Harch to be one of the fathers or grandfathers of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (00:58). Dr. Harch explains what drew him into researching hyperbaric oxygen therapy. (1:35) Dr. Harch discusses why hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used for scuba divers or diving medicine. (3:05) Dr. Harch mentions how important the first hour is when using hyperbaric oxygen to treat injuries divers may have. (6:05) Dr. Gladden shares that molecular hydrogen is a way to modulate reperfusion injury. (7:00) Dr. Harch notes that if you can give the hyperbaric treatment in the first hour, it totally inhibits those attachment molecules on the white blood cells from expressing themselves. (9:45) Dr. Harch says all coastal facilities that treat divers do not get the same results the US Navy does. (11:15) Dr. Gladden infers that everything is in its own balance. (13:10) Dr. Harch clarifies that barometric pressure is a separate entity from oxygen. (15:14) Dr. Harch mentions that only a few people have used dosing as a primary method of treatment.

He trained in the clinics with leaders in his field, including Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Deepak Chopra, and Dr. Susan Blum. In this episode, you will learn about the surprising link between hormones and toxicity and the steps you can take today to eradicate hidden toxins in the body and balance your hormones once and for all. Do you know the toxins we encounter daily and how they affect our hormones? Is there such a thing as hormone imbalance? Listen to find out more. Listen to this episode to learn about making 100 the new 30, and living beyond 120! Show notes: Dr. Gladden notes that listeners are going to love learning about what they can do today to balance their hormones and deal with toxicity. (1:03) Dr. Gladden welcomes Dr. Koz to the show and goes over the issues they will be touching on. (1:35) Dr. Gladden mentions that Dr. Koz has written a book called - Get the Func Out.

(4:00) Dr. Koz highlights that functional medicine's mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects seem to be the most critical aspects. (6:05) Dr. Koz points out a red flag he comes across when dealing with patient documentation. (7:55) Dr. Koz refers to going to treatment at twenty-seven or twenty-eight and not being able to name an emotion. (10:25) Dr. Koz reveals that he was very traditionally minded and never thought he would be doing functional medicine today. (12:00) Dr. Koz emphasizes that the symptoms of adrenal fatigue can look the same as the symptoms of a low thyroid, so different tests are needed. (13:55) Dr. Koz explains that the thyroid gland makes T4 and that T4 is converted to T3 and shares that T3 is the hormone that binds to cells all over your body. (16:00) Dr. Gladden mentions that the only way to deal with some issues is to do genetic testing. (18:19) Dr. Koz says an area of functional medicine he was not willing to get into originally was environmental medicine. (20:20) Dr. Koz advocates that the accumulation of toxins results in disease. (22:10) Dr. Koz explains how toxins may get stored in any cell in our body. (24:55) Dr. Koz maintains that heavy metal is the number one toxin he would test anyone for. (26:45) Dr. Koz reveals that organic products are not necessarily protected from things that are in the air. (30:09) Dr. Gladden says that those that are near highways have higher levels of exhaust fumes and toxic products in their toxic profiles. (33:05) Dr. Koz discloses that he will use different detox strategies depending on the toxin he finds. (37:10) Dr. Koz shares that his favorite detox supplement is glutathione. (39:19) Dr. Koz states that what he was taught in functional medicine was to start with the gut. (41:49) Dr. Gladden details that he was taught detoxification in phases. (43:00) Dr. Gladden lists the Dirty Dozen and how it is important to clean them before consuming. (47:00) Dr. Gladden highlights the importance of testing your environment and opening phase 3 pathways. (49:39) Dr. Koz realized that doing the gut was not enough, replacing hormones was not enough, but there were other steps that he needed to take. (51:00) Dr. Gladden expresses that he really enjoyed the conversation. (52:37) Dr. Koz ends his conversation by saying he would love for people to dig more into functional medicine's mental, emotional, and spiritual parts. (53:24) Dr. Gladden notes that what we fail to understand is that our biochemistry is mainly influenced by our mental, emotional, and spiritual state. (54:13) Dr. Koz is very confident that getting your hormones right starts with proper testing. (55:33) Steve thanks everyone for listening to the podcast.

Are Perinatal Tissues a Missing Link in the Quest to Turn Back the Clock?
Join Dr. Jeffrey Gladden and Ian White in this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast. Dr. White is considered a leading expert in the field of aging and regenerative medicine, with 20 years of experience working with stem cells, regenerative cells, and tissue regeneration. Dr. White currently sits as the CEO and CSO of Neobiosis, LLC, a perinatal regenerative tissue research and manufacturing CDMO facility, and serves as the vice president and member of the board of directors of the American College of Regenerative Medicine. Dr. White is the co-founder of the Space-Aging Research Institute. In this episode, they talk about how aging in nature is optional, how many species are able to uncouple biological aging from chronological aging, and the need for the public to change their perception of longevity research if they want to see scientific advancements in their lifetime Listen to this episode to learn about making a hundred, the new thirty, and living beyond 120! Dr. Gladden introduces Dr. Ian White and notes that Dr. White is the co-founder of the Space Aging Research Institute. (1:15) Ian gives an example of putting a young mouse and an old mouse together, the old mouse becomes younger, and the young mouse becomes older based on different markers of aging. (2:16) Ian talks about the progress of the work they are doing and how they have been able to identify over four hundred bioactive proteins that are secreted into the amniotic fluid. (5:42) Ian explains that there are many different types of RNA. (7:00) Ian mentions that DNA can last for millions of years. (9:00) Dr. Gladden asks Ian to run through how the process works. (11:25) Dr. Gladden wants to know how the fluids collected are being used. (13:10) Ian describes how sports people, celebrities, and people from all walks of life use the products to regain what they have lost due to injury or concussion. (14:55) Ian says that the biological structure of a human is very complex, and there can’t be one cure-all. (16:25) Ian speaks about how space is unexplored and how our physiology in relation to space is largely unexplored as well. (19:00) Ian emphasizes that since space travel is becoming more popular, they hope to have more short-term excursions to space. (21:45) Dr. Gladden shares that he expects senescence to accelerate up there on some level. (24:30) Dr. Gladden asks Ian to share which metrics are most impacted by the product use. (26:20) Ian reveals that a patient using the product got huge benefits, and her wounds got healed in six days instead of three months, as the doctors said. (28:04) Ian points out that the body does not seem to heal the heart when it’s wounded, as that may cause it to rupture. (30:50) Dr. Gladden questions Ian about his experience in areas related to using regenerative medicine for the heart and brain. (33:40) Ian details how to attract new nerve tissues using intramuscular injections. (37:45) Dr. Gladden wants to know what is next for Ian.
