100 Is the New 30? With Dr. Jeffrey Gladden

Codex Immortalis Aspirantis is a Latin phrase I invented, which means "The Code of the Aspirational Immortal."

You can think of it as a Biohacker twist on a phrase and concept I love, "noblesse oblige" - the obligation of nobility. The idea that privilege entails a great and weighty responsibility. Responsibility to edify not just yourself but society. Responsibility to influence. Responsibility to be a rudder when those you love endure the storms of life. Responsibility to not just leave a legacy, but to be around to maintain its foundations.

You may be falling short of this. Here's why...
If you're into Biohacking and anti-aging, you're an aspirational immortal. But I'd challenge that the scope of your ambition might not match the potency of your aspirations.
Your aims should include goals measured in not just months, years, and decades, but also centuries.
This is your call to action to start thinking a lot bigger. As a person who aspires to live as long as you want in brilliant health, you're probably underestimating what you might accomplish in your life.

I interview Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, a board-certified cardiologist and longevity pioneer who has dedicated his career to cracking the code of age reversal, moving beyond mere 'healthcare' into the realm of architectural human performance. He's the author of a new book, 100 Is the New 30. I press him on this title--is it mere puffery, which is to say, a marketing claim that no reasonable person would take seriously? And he also operates Gladden Longevity, a boutique anti-aging clinic that is very much on the cutting edge of applied Biohacking.

If I ever got cancer, I would forgo the mainstream "slash, burn, poison" treatments. I would take 6 months off work and go lounge at the black seaside, take C60, Chaga, and fast a lot. Dr. Gladden recommends genetic testing to understand cancer risks through Natera.

Tools

Brain Frequency™ - Brain Frequency™ therapy trains the brain to function more effectively by changing the pattern of its electrical activity, or brain waves. The therapy targets specific impacted areas of the brain to promote optimal neural function. Brain Frequency™ uses magnetic stimulation, which leads to induction of electrical current within the brain, which activates nearby nerve cells, causing restructuring of the brain in a positive durable way. Brain Frequency™ is also thought to release neurotransmitters like serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.

Jungian shadow work for personal growth: I read and reviewed a book with some good journaling prompts for this, Men's Work. The TV show Mr. Robot is worth watching as it portrays psychological shadow integration.

He left me with a real bio-meta-philosophical gem...

About Gladden Longevity

Located in Dallas, Texas, Gladden Longevity is a premier boutique practice that moves beyond traditional medicine to engineer a "limitless" human experience. Under the direction of Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, the clinic employs a sophisticated, multi-system approach to age reversal, treating the body as a complex symphony rather than a collection of parts. A standout pillar of their methodology (detailed extensively in Dr. Gladden’s book) is their mastery of Thyroid health. While conventional medicine often relies on overly broad "normal" ranges, Gladden Longevity specializes in identifying and treating sub-clinical hypothyroidism, a stealthy metabolic thief that frequently flies under the radar of standard blood tests while subtly sabotaging energy, cognition, and weight management. By optimizing these hidden cellular foundations, they empower high-performers to reclaim the biological vitality of their youth. If you are ready to stop settling for "average" and start building your own longevity legacy, visit their website today to apply for a comprehensive patient consultation.

After listening

Armed with a nifty new Latin phrase, Codex Immortalis Aspirantis, go for a stroll in a cemetery and think about what your multi-century goals might be...

Before that stroll, maybe give a listen to this dark synthwave song I created, capturing the Faustian deal with the vampires that I constructed...
