Redefining Age: Dr. Jeffrey Gladden's Innovative Approach to Aging
Do you know that you have MANY biological ages, and your organs age at different rates? And for billionaires who have unlimited resources, how much longer do they live compared to the regular folks? What can we do to keep us healthy and fit in our 30’s, work the same way in our 40’s, 50’s or 60’s, or do we need to constantly fine-tune our approaches to our physiological fitness?Dr. Jeffrey Gladden began his career as an interventional cardiologist in Dallas TX. He had a passion to bring cutting-edge cardiology services to people in outlying areas. To that end, he built his own heart group and eventually had 10 offices and 12 physicians servicing numerous communities in north Texas and southeast Oklahoma. He started cardiac catheterization labs, rapid response heart attack programs, heart arrhythmia programs, and congestive heart failure programs for outlying communities and hospitals. He was also responsible for co-founding The Heart Hospital Baylor Scott & White in the northern suburbs of Dallas.In addition, he continues to be involved with several medical device and pharma startups. Dr. Gladden came to face his own mortality in his 50s and went through a two-year journey to crack the code on himself.

Unlocking the Secrets of Post-Covid Protection: Powerful Therapies & Essential Tips with Dr. Thomas Levy
What can you do to protect yourself in this post-covid era? What are the proven therapies? Today's guest, Dr. Thomas Levy, is a board-certified cardiologist and a bar-certified attorney. After practicing adult cardiology for 15 years, he began to research the enormous toxicity associated with much dental work, as well as the pronounced ability of properly-administered vitamin C to neutralize this toxicity. He has now written 13 books, with several addressing the wide-ranging properties of vitamin C in neutralizing all toxins and resolving most infections, as well as its vital role in the effective treatment of heart disease and cancer. Others address the important roles of dental toxicity and nutrition in disease and health. Inducted into the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame in 2016, Dr. Levy continues to research the impact of the orthomolecular application of vitamin C and antioxidants in general on chronic degenerative diseases, including heart disease. His ongoing research involves documenting that all diseases are different forms and degrees of focal scurvy, arising from increased oxidative stress, especially intracellularly, and that they all benefit from protocols that optimize the antioxidant levels in the body. In particular, the cause-and-effect relationship between oral cavity infections and all heart attacks is now solidly established.Tune in to this episode with Dr. Levy to learn what spike protein can do to you, and the powerful therapies you can use to protect yourself, including high dose Vitamin C, hydrogen peroxide, methylene blue, systemic enzymes, zone therapy, HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy), EBOO (extracorporeal oxygenation and ozonation), UV blood irradiation.

Biological Age vs Chronological Age Test🧬TruDiagnostic TruAge - with Ryan Smith
We all age differently. Some people’s true age (demonstrated by the level of their biological functions) may be 20 years younger than someone else, even though they have the same chronological age. Science has advanced to the point that we can measure how well we are aging - that is, how slowly we are aging, and how “young” or “old” we truly are at any given age… Ryan Smith shares the cutting edge measurement his company TruDiagnostic is utilizing to give people the most accurate reading of our biological age.The TruAge test can inform you of how well you are aging, and this correlates highly with the possibility of you getting sick or even dying. Learn how TruAge uses DNA methylation patterns to determine numerous parameters of health, how it differs from other biological age tests, and the methods you can utilize to slow down the process of aging.Ryan Smith is founder of TruDiagnostic. He received a BA in biochemistry from Transylvania University before heading to medical school in 2013. After passing USMLE Step 1, he decided to leave and open up a pharmacy in the United States that focused on peptide synthesis and formulations for pharmaceutical preparations. That pharmacy, Tailor Made Compounding, became the 4th fastest growing company in healthcare in the US and grew to 80 million in revenue within 3 years. Through this pharmacy work, Ryan saw the value of preventative medicine. Many of the physicians Tailor Made served were treating age as a disease and a primary outcome but needed better tools to measure this process. As a result, Ryan exited Tailor Made in 2020 to create TruDiagnostic.TruDiagnostic is a CLIA certified lab and health data company which specializes in understanding and reporting insights found through Epigenetic methylation data. Since starting in 2020, TruDiagnostic has created the largest private epigenetic database in the world with over 15,000 patients tested on the EPIC850k array. From this dataset, they have created many new algorithms to interpret methylation data including algorithms to predict inflammatory markers, disease diagnosis, telomere length, aging pace, immune cell subsets, cellular replication, and more.TruDiagnostic has also led research in the field with over 30+ clinical trials investigating the best ways to reverse these markers through diet, lifestyle, and prescription interventions. Currently, TruDiagnostic is working with collaborators from Duke, Harvard, Yale, UCSF, Ohio St. and more to uncover new insights from the methylome. TruDiagnostic is also the only commercial company on the market to offer 2nd or 3rd generation aging algorithms which have shown to be more predictive and precise than 1st generation aging clocks. In addition to his work with pharmaceuticals, Ryan also consults with international pharmacies and has set up pharmacies in Thailand and Mexico. In addition, Ryan has developed novel supplements and cosmetic formulations with multiple 100M supplement brands and consults with clinics in the cash pay wellness space.To Connect With Ryan Smith:https://trudiagnostic.com/To Connect With Dr. Joy Kong:http://drjoykong.com/Watch Video Episodes on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZj1GQBWFM5sRAL0iQfcMAQFollow Dr. Joy Kong on Social Media:https://www.instagram.com/dr_joy_kong/https://www.facebook.com/stemcelldrjoyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joy-kong-md-4b8627123/For more information about anti-aging regenerative medicine treatment visit:https://uplyftcenter.com *Our content is for informational purposes only and should not be treated as medical or health advice.
