The episode dives into the transformative perspectives on aging and longevity provided by Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, one of the leaders in longevity science, who emphasizes that aging should not be viewed as a decline but as an opportunity for vitality and growth. The conversation explores the Five Circles of Longevity, the deconstruction of individual health profiles, and the importance of integrating psycho-spiritual health with physical well-being to foster a youthful mindset, ultimately urging listeners to redefine their approach to aging. In this episode we discuss:

• Dr. Gladden's personal health challenges leading to a journey into longevity medicine
• Importance of a psycho-spiritual mindset in achieving longevity
• The Five Circles of Longevity encompass life energy, physiological health, performance, environmental influence, and personalized interventions
• Advocating for an integrative approach to health, emphasizing the need for individuality in assessments
• The interplay between modern science, holistic health, and personal empowerment in redefining aging

For those interesting in hearing more, Dr Gladden is hosting a free online summit that I am participating in along with many experts starting on January 21.

Ever wondered how you can achieve the health benefits of fasting without actually abstaining from food? Join us as we explore this intriguing concept with Dr. Joseph Anton, CEO of L-Nutra. Dr. Anton introduces us to the innovative idea of physiological or cellular fasting, where specific nutritional choices can simulate the body's fasting state. We delve into the popularity and benefits of intermittent fasting, particularly the 16-hour fasting pattern, and examine how our bodies switch from glycogen depletion to fat burning and cellular rejuvenation through autophagy during extended fasting periods.

In an insightful comparison, we pit fasting against the ketogenic diet, scrutinizing their molecular impacts on pathways like mTOR, AMPK, and RAS. Dr. Anton breaks down the complex stress response triggered by fasting, which not only downregulates growth pathways but also boosts growth hormone, leading to muscle rejuvenation and cellular autophagy. While the ketogenic diet has its merits, particularly for short-term benefits, it falls short of the deep cellular and longevity advantages that fasting offers. We highlight the importance of balanced, intermittent fasting approaches for achieving optimal health and longevity.

We examine the transformative potential of the fasting mimicking diet through Prolon, a revolutionary product designed to maintain muscle while promoting fat loss. Dr. Anton shares the physical and mental perks, including enhanced energy, performance, mental clarity, and skin rejuvenation. We discuss how Prolon can seamlessly fit into long-term health plans, particularly for those with metabolic conditions, and even explore its potential for insurance coverage. Tune in for groundbreaking health insights and actionable advice that could change your life.
