from Ayık Kafa · host Longevilab

In this episode of the Soberhead Podcast, Dr. Esra Çavuşoğlu, PhD welcomes Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, MD. Dr. Gladden shares his transformative journey from a successful interventional cardiologist to a pioneer in longevity and integrative health. He discusses the importance of not just treating physical ailments but also addressing the mindset surrounding aging and health. Dr. Gladden emphasizes the need for a holistic approach that includes understanding one's genetics, optimizing hormonal balance, and fostering a growth mindset. He believes that true longevity is not merely about extending life but enhancing the quality of life through mental and physical wellness. Dr. Gladden also delves into the concept of a '300-year-old mind,' which encourages individuals to seek meaning and purpose in life as they age. He highlights the significance of asking the right questions rather than settling for conventional answers, especially in the face of challenges like depression and anxiety. The conversation touches on various interventions for aging, including lifestyle changes, supplements, and innovative therapies, all aimed at achieving a youthful state of being, both physically and mentally.#EsraÇavuşoğlu #AyıkKafa #ElevatingLifeEvolvingHealth #Longevilab #DrJeffreyGladden Longevilab Women’s Summit 2026 Early Bird Tickets are on Sale!
