The Incredible Benefits of Ozone Therapy with Dr. Frank Shallenberger – Episode 22
On this episode, we invite Dr. Frank Shallenberger of The Nevada Center of Alternative & Anti-Aging Medicineto join our conversation about utilizing ozone therapeutically. Dr. Gladden begins by explaining how ozone, though the skin, can help the body upregulate its ability to manage stress and can impact ATP production. Dr. Shallenberger elaborates on many different ways ozone can be beneficial because it works on the mitochondrial level. Ozone is helpful in treating a number of conditions, including cancer, immune deficiencies, pain management and skin conditions. They discuss the different ways that ozone can be delivered to the body, as it is toxic to the lungs, and the reason that most doctors are not using ozone therapy with their patients. Dr. Shallenberger talks about the top three things he would recommend to help one live beyond 120. Special Guest: Frank Shallenberger, MD, HMD, ABAAM Dr. Shallenberger is a six-time grandfather and four-time father.

Peptides as Building Blocks to Robust Longevity – an Interview with Ryan Smith – Episode 20
Peptides are a grouping of 50 or fewer amino acids (more than 50 is a protein). Peptides are natural substances, though those covered in the show are variations on the naturally occurring versions. They can be beneficial in many ways, often amplifying the body's ability to heal itself. They discuss the history of the use of peptides in a medical environment, as well as the future of peptides becoming available commercially in the U.S., with over 7,000 in clinical development currently. Cancer research is one of the leading development areas for peptides (ALRN-6924 is one of the prominent ones studied). Antimicrobial research is also being done to potentially create new antibiotics. There are different methods of delivering peptides to the body. They are not very bioavailable orally and are prone to hydrolysis, so injection is the best for the majority of peptides. They explore some of the benefits of peptides over traditional medications, such as allergic reaction is limited with peptides, and neither the kidneys nor liver have to process them like traditional medications require. They also consider the potential side effects of using peptides. They warn against purchasing peptides from online companies, as many of them are produced overseas in bulk without any regulation, often not containing what they claim. The only safe way to get access to peptides is through a reputable doctor who practices integrative medicine, with access to compounding pharmacies like Tailor Made Compounding. Some of the peptides covered on the show: Human growth hormone (HGH) secretagogues like Ipamorelin, CJC-1295, Sermorelin and Tesamorelin encourage the pituitary gland to increase HGH production. They also explain the significant risks of using human growth hormone therapy directly. GLP-1 and Semaglutide could be used for diabetes treatment. Melanotan 2 stimulates melanocytes to produce melanin, causing a tanned appearance of the skin. Epitalon resets the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis, with a number of potential positive effects on disease states, possibly helping to lengthen or preserve the length of telomeres, increases melatonin for better sleep and more. BPC-157 is orally bioavailable, unlike most peptides, with a variety of reported benefits. This includes helping with neural inflammation, muscle improvement, improved immunity, improved collagen synthesis, increased bone density and accelerated recovery/healing. It is most often used clinically to treat gut and bowel issues and tendon and ligament repair. Thymosin beta-4 is beneficial for soft tissue injury by increasing blood flow to the area, encouraging healing. Thymosin alpha 1 is FDA approved (commercially available as ZADAXIN™ for treatment of viral hepatitis), encouraging increased immune response to some cancers, Lyme disease and sexually transmitted diseases. PT-141 has a benefit for treating some erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction. Follistatin (actually a protein, not a peptide) has the potential to inhibit myostatin, which prevents muscle breakdown. Cerebrolysin is a combination of peptides with potential useful for brain repair in neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and strokes. Selank and Semax are Russian peptides that are nasally bioavailable that have been reported to help with anxiety. MIF-1, ACTH, Dihexa have limited research but have been considered to help with depression, bipolar disorder and PTSD. IGF1 has nerve regenerative capabilities. GDF11 may be beneficial in tissue repair, so useful in anti-aging, but with potential health drawbacks. About the guest: Ryan Smith attended Transylvania University and double majored in Philosophy and Biochemistry. In that time, he had multiple research internships at the University of Kentucky and University of Pennsylvania, studying large scale protein synthesis and physical chemistry. After graduation, he attended medical school at the University of Kentucky for 2 years. After finishing all the educational curriculum and passing USMLE Step 1, he decided to leave and help open up a pharmacy in the United States that focuses on peptide synthesis and formulations for pharmaceutical preparations. Since that time, Tailor Made Compoundinghas become licensed in over 45 states and territories, including Dubai, and has become the leader in the compounding of peptides and proteins for pharmaceutical use.

Molecular Hydrogen to Bring the Body into Balance – an Interview with Tyler LeBaron – Episode 17
On this episode, Tyler LeBaron of the Molecular Hydrogen Institute (MHI) comes on the show to talk about molecular hydrogen and how it can supplement the body for anti-aging and performance. They discuss some of the promise that drinking hydrogen-rich water is showing for Parkinson's patients and in other brain injury therapies. They consider how the intake of molecular hydrogen aids in ATP production and mitochondrial function. Free radicals can cause damage to your cells, and molecular hydrogen can act as a signaling molecule to upregulate your body to better manage oxidative stress. Our body needs oxidative power and reductive power in balance, and molecular hydrogen can help bring you back to homeostasis. Hydrogen also helps modulates the system that causes inflammation, which is a major cause of aging. LeBaron suggests how and when to get hydrogen into your system and offers some warnings about products on the market. Dr. Gladden talks about some of the ways he uses molecular hydrogen with his patients at Apex. They also discuss the benefits of being in a "flow state" in your life, during work or working out.

NAD and Anti-Aging – an Interview with Thomas Ingoglia – Episode 16
Thomas Ingoglia joined Mark Young at RAADfest 2017 to talk about NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a molecule showing great potential for its anti-aging effects, as well as helping people with addiction recovery and chronic health conditions. Ingoglia discusses the treatments available at the NAD Treatment Center, describing what people wanting to maintain their health would get out of the intravenous infusion of NAD offered. This includes an increase in energy, pain reduction, increased physical performance and more. He also suggests what a person should do in order to live beyond 120. Listento the Ben Greenfield Fitness podcast with Ingoglia about NAD. Learn moreabout the NAD Treatment Center and follow them on Twitter @NADTreatmentand on Facebook. About the guest: Thomas Ingoglia is the business director at NAD Treatment Center. He is a private investor with a master's degree in finance. In the midst of trading, investing in technology and developing real estate in Costa Rica, Tom became very sick. He was initially prescribed antibiotics, suffered from an adverse reaction and was told that he'd have stomach problems for the rest of his life. In the years that followed, Tom also developed severe food allergies. His symptoms worsened, and he next began dealing with insomnia, anxiety, muscle pain, tedinopathies, joint pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, altered and clouded cognition and headaches. He finally had a mental breakdown in 2008. After a prolonged period of taking antibiotics, Tom began experiencing tendonitis throughout his fingers, hands, wrists and ankles and feet, so he started taking pain medications to relieve this pain. He had to give up his career in trading because his sole focus for the next eight years would be on finding a cure to his growing symptoms. Tom's life consisted of working with physical therapists, going to the gym, going to new doctors, and trying new foods to see if it would help. "I was in the prison of constant pain, and would try anything, any place, that might help." Throughout Tom's eight-year battle, he was prescribed consistently and persistently more medication. For six years, he was taking excessive amounts of Hydrocodone and Tramadol every day. Tom became obsessed with researching symptoms and treatments and learned about the NAD+ treatment. He visited a clinic, and on Day 7 of his treatment, "It hit me. I started feeling better. I felt amazing. There was a calm that came over me. I felt safe. I just had no cravings for drugs or pain meds. There was no need for them. I just didn't have the excruciating pain that I had before. I felt eight years of pain melting away. Tom's pain began to dissipate, and he started getting his energy back. "I was so paranoid of relapses, because they had happened in the past, but over the course of the following months I started feeling better, just as the clinic had predicted. Finally, I got my sanity back." More than a year later, Tom has nearly fully recovered, from both his illness and his cravings for pain medications. He's immersed himself in better understanding the NAD+ that saved his life, along with related treatments, and has engaged two cofounders to assist him in building out a facility to help bring this treatment to others in similar situations.

Preventing Cardiovascular Disease – an Interview with Dr. Jeffry Life – Episode 15
On this episode, we're featuring a special RAAD Fest discussion from last year between Dr. Gladden and Dr. Jeffry Life, a doctor who has focused his practice on healthy aging and helping patients avoiding heart attacks and strokes. He incorporates the Bale-Doneen Method (learn more in the book Beat the Heart Attack Gene) in his treatment plans, which is about aggressively looking for vascular inflammation that causes heart disease and working to stop it. They discuss some of the testing that can be done to identify vascular risk factors, which fall outside of the normal insurance-based model of healthcare. Dr. Life describes what he does for himself to improve his own health, fitness and longevity. He and Dr. Gladden discuss hormone replacement and HGH and when it is appropriate treatment. Special Guest: In 1997, Dr. Jeffry Life was a board-certified family practice physician who was 59 years old, overweight, poorly conditioned body and in rapidly declining health. He couldn't tie his shoes without losing his breath. His stomach was huge, his muscles and joints ached, and he was miserable. He decided it was time to focus some much-needed medical attention on himself. Not knowing where to start, he began reading fitness magazines and came across an article that featured the winners of the Body-for-LIFE contest. He followed a low-glycemic/low-fat diet, took supplements, and plunged into a heavy exercise regimen with help from a former Navy Seal personal trainer, Ernie Baul. At the end of 1998, at 60 years of age and after consistently eating right and training right, he became the GRAND CHAMPION in Bill Phillip's 1998 Body-for-LIFE contest. He continued his commitment to the Fitness Lifestyle, yet despite my hard work and dedication, he started losing ground as he edged toward 63. He was slowly losing muscle mass, and strength and was regaining body fat. His energy level was waning, as was his libido. He had heard about the Anti-Aging Medicine Movement, so he investigated further. He learned a whole new level of protocols and philosophies and immediately agreed to become a patient. Within a couple weeks, Life started to see and feel a marked shift in his body, mind and spirit. He was once again becoming a vibrant, healthy and happy man. It was life-altering and became the catalyst that moved him from Family Medicine to healthy aging medicine. He wanted every man and woman that struggled as he had to have hope for a better life. Today, at 78 years of age, he is in the best shape of his life. He's in the gym 5 days a week. He has a thriving practice in Charleston, West Virginia (The Life Center for Healthy Aging), and he has authored three books: The Life Plan, Mastering the Life Plan and The Life Plan Diet.

Treating Cancer Outside of the Traditional Protocols – an Interview with Dr. Thomas Incledon, PhD – Episode 14
On this episode, Dr. Gladden and Mark dive into the subject of cancer, inviting Dr. Thomas Incledon of Causenta® Wellnessto talk about a new model of treating cancer patients outside of traditional medicine. It's often difficult for doctors within the standard healthcare system to break out of typical thinking about cancer treatments. This often prevents new discoveries from being applied to treatment plans, especially when reimbursement is a priority. Dr. Incledon discusses some alternative treatments they are using at Causenta, including light-based therapy, ozone therapy, and oxidative stress. They also pay careful attention to the order in which they implement therapies for patients, as well as how the rest of the body plays a role in treatment. They talk about studying different strategies that challenge the metabolic pathways of cancer and what that means for other health management during treatment. Every person is different, and that must be taken into account when planning out therapy. Dr. Incledon suggests what things a person should do first when they receive a cancer diagnosis and what to ask their doctor. He also recommends actions we can take to help reduce our risk for cancer, including getting good sleep, getting outside, drinking enough fluid, exercising and eating a variety of colors in your diet. Ask yourself, "For those dealing with cancer directly or with a loved one, what are you doing outside of mainstream care to supplement treatment?" About the guest: Dr. Thomas Incledon, holds a B.S. in Exercise Science, B.S. in Nutrition, M.S. in Kinesiology, and Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology.
