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!

(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. (18:15) Dr. Harch elaborates on hypoxia-inducing factors. (21:44) Dr. Harch says there is a whole literature now on hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning. (23:08) Dr. Harch expresses that if you give two hyperbaric treatments a night before cardiac surgery, you significantly reduce the cognitive insult that results after surgery. (25:40) Focuscalm.com uses the promo code longevity10 to get a 10 percent discount. (28:55) Dr. Harch argues that doctors are trained and taught reimbursable medicine.

Join Dr. Jeffrey Gladden and Dr. Peter Kozlowski in this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast. Dr. Koz is a Functional Medicine M.D. and award-winning author with a new book: GET THE FUNC OUT: Balance Your Hormones and Detox. He uses a broad array of tools to find the source of the body's dysfunction: he takes the time to listen to his patients and plots their history on a timeline, considering what makes them unique and co-creating with them a truly individualized care plan. Currently, he works with patients online and in person via his Chicago, Illinois, and Bozeman, Montana-based offices. Dr. Kozlowski did his residency in Family Practice but started training in Functional Medicine as an intern. 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. (3:12) Dr. Koz lists out five main areas he considers when it comes to functional medicine: food, gut health, hormone imbalance, environmental toxins, and mental and emotional, and spiritual health. (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.

Listen to this episode to learn about making a 100 the new 30 and living beyond 120! Dr. Gladden introduces Dr. Brent and Andrea Turnipseed as they talk about all things about psychological health.
