Today, I'm joined by the inspiring Dr. Jeffrey Gladden—a trailblazer in longevity medicine who once spent decades as an interventional cardiologist, only to challenge everything he knew after his own health hit a wall. Dr. Gladden opens up about the moment he refused to accept "normal for your age" as a diagnosis, launching himself into the world of functional and age-management medicine to reclaim his vitality and help others do the same.
