(1:33) Jim and his partner have been studying immortality since 1972. They discuss the early lack of scientific knowledge on the topic but mention hearing a geneticist in 1975 who confirmed the possibility of immortality. They formed an international organization called People Forever to speak about immortality and super longevity worldwide. (02:18) Dr. Gladden and Jim say that the fear of death motivates our extreme fear of living, but there is scientific evidence that suggests a longer and healthier lifespan is possible through various innovations. (03:48) Immortality may not be achieved through one magic bullet but through a series of steps. (5:14) Jim shares that we don’t only have the ability to live an unlimited lifespan but also to be maximally creative. (07:40) Jim notes that living without fully embracing goals and being limited by time prevents human development and self-discovery. (10:42) Jim explains that because of the old death pattern we live in, we are repeating the same old patterns. (12:45) An international organization called People Unlimited promotes unlimited lifespans and immortality. They formed a coalition for radical life extension and organized a Woodstock-like event that drew over a thousand people, including scientists. The event has grown and will have more presenters this year. (15:05) They discuss cross-pollination of ideas among brilliant and ambitious individuals in the field, fostering innovation and creating an environment for scientists to collaborate. They also mention a project focused on decoding aging and manipulating genetic expression for youthfulness. (19:29) Jim talks about RAADfest, where it’s going to be, the location, and how to learn more. (21:35) Jim considers the belief in an innate energy in our bodies that can potentially lead to unlimited lifespans but emphasizes the need for effort and change to access it. (24:02) By freeing biology from limiting thoughts, embracing a new life force, and shifting mindset, one can profoundly impact health and productivity, leading to a longer and more fulfilling life. (27:27) The spirit of immortality is in our bodies. (29:00) For a RAADfest discount code and more information, visit raadfest.com.

Can This Blood Test Tell if You Are Going to Have a Heart Attack? - Episode 181
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.
