On this episode of Living Beyond 120, Mark and Dr. Gladden begin by discussing the importance of not only saving lives, but also saving the livelihoods of Americans. They explore how the loss of jobs could lead individuals to poverty, depression and in severe situations, potentially suicide. Next, they delve into the topic of an individual's genetic risk in contracting the COVID virus; how some people are genetically more susceptible to this and other diseases. Also, they cover how diet and exercise play an important role in helping to prevent contraction of the disease. Mark and Dr. Gladden explore the fact that people will continue the new habits acquired during the pandemic – such as hand washing, cleanliness and generally paying more attention to when they or others are sick. Finally, they discuss the importance of people getting back to their life and back to their livelihoods. People will have to make the choice of continuing to live in fear or taking back control of their lives and getting back to their aspirations.

On this episode of Living Beyond 120, Mark and Dr. Gladden are joined by Chris Howard, PhD (Biochemistry) and Lynn Howard, MD (Pathogenic Microbiology in Infectious Disease). They take a deep exploration into the origin and pathology of the SARS COVID 2- the actual name of the virus as opposed to COVID-19, which is the name of the disease. They begin with the how the virus came into existence – is it a natural occurring phenomenon or is it man-made? They then go onto where the origin point of the SARS COVID 2 virus is – exactly where in the world did this virus originate? They also explore the question of when the virus started infecting humans.

They also investigate the fact that some people that contract the virus have no need of treatment. They then explain the idea of herd immunity; in a large population there are fewer high-risk people overall, the infection rates drop, and the disease peters out. Vaccinations are then brought into the discussion. They bring into question the accuracy and validity of the current testing procedures and how the tests can give a false positive result secondary to other ailments that a person could be suffering from. The episode concludes with State orders of staying quarantined in your homes and how this really does nothing to combat the virus; but instead weakens the immune system's ability to combat it .

On this episode of Living Beyond 120, Mark and Dr. Gladden share the importance of maintaining your relationships during the COVID-19 pandemic, while also maintaining yourself.

On this episode of Living Beyond 120, Mark and Dr. Gladden discuss how, during these trying times, prolonged extended anxiety – or to put it more simply, stress – not only negatively affects one's mental and neurological processes, but also has an impact on physiological processes. They open with how stress compromises the brain by making it more difficult to recall memories as well as affecting one's decision-making abilities. This is doubly important for the elderly, especially those with neurological illnesses such as Alzheimer's Disease and those that suffer from Dementia. They also point out that stress impacts the brain's everyday functions such as cognitive functions, social skills and creativity. Next, Mark and Dr. Gladden illustrate how stress also impacts the body. This can be seen by decreased effectiveness of the immune system, decreased response times and weakening of the muscles. In order to increase the body and mind's health in response to stress, Mark and Dr. Gladden talk about the importance of vitamins, supplements, eating healthy, and exercise. They also discuss how one's mental well-being can be improved with social interaction by either face-to-face or via video communication in order to decrease the feelings of isolation.

On this episode of Living Beyond 120, Mark and Dr. Gladden discuss how health is an economy of balance. To support this, they consider some new findings about taking certain supplements and how it can affect different health aspects. One thing can tip the balance for test results, on any given day. Then they turn their discussion to the thyroid again, talking about why many traditional doctors often miss problems that start with a dysfunction of the gland. They talk about the many symptoms that can be tied to thyroid problems, even if your test results appear "normal." They cover the kinds of tests you can get done, outside of your normal doctor's protocol, to help get a clearer diagnosis. The thyroid sets the metabolic rate for the entire body, so nothing will work right unless it is functioning properly.

On this episode of Living Beyond 120, Mark and Dr. Gladden welcome Richard Rossi, the founder of daVinci50, a Mastermind group of celebrated doctors, Harvard scientists, and world-renowned biohackers who are achieving the big breakthroughs and getting the big results in ultra-healthy life extension right now. They discuss the mindset needed to achieve longevity past what the rest of the world believes is an acceptable age, and they consider how advances in technology and medicine are making the goal of 120 years and beyond more and more possible. About the guest: Richard Rossi's special ability is connecting genius with high-achievers, and that's the business he's been in for over 30 years. He believes high-achievers have the greatest chance of changing the world for the better and deserve every edge – every advantage – to play the biggest game possible in life and achieve true greatness for the benefit of humankind. To date, over 800,000 high achievers from around the world have graduated from live programs created by his companies, with the help of over 200 staff people. He also believes the very best way to honor, educate, and inspire high-achievers is through strong mentors and powerful alliances with peers. And in his world, this is the Mastermind. The Mastermind concept was coined in 1937 by author Napoleon Hill in his book Think and Grow Rich. In his books, Hill discussed the idea of the Mastermind, which referred to two or more people coming together in harmony to solve problems. Cooperation through the use of Mastermind groups was one of the laws of success that Hill learned through studying successful Americans including Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Theodore Roosevelt, John D. Rockefeller, and Charles M. Schwab. The Mastermind can be magical as an environment that fosters maximum direction, confidence, and capabilities. It allows high-achievers to operate at the highest level with their peers and compress time by being part of an Olympic level team. Like a great university, the mentors and other teachers are critical, but equally critical to success are the other lively minds in the room: your peers who are all fascinated and motivated by the same things you are. The most recent group Rossi is bringing together is daVinci50, the highest-level live coaching program in the world on Superaging™: biohacking our bodies for boundless energy and a dramatically extended life without disease, physical limitation or mental decline.

They talk about what can help the immune system and what can possibly weaken in – including the impact of mindset. They discuss the concept of physiological congruency, in which your brain will perform in ways to match your mindset, disseminating the message throughout your body.

On this episode of Living Beyond 120, Mark and Dr. Gladden first discuss a long-term study comparing people who were optimistic versus pessimistic. Optimists lived an average of 15% longer than pessimists. While genetics do play a role, we have much more control over our longevity possibilities. Next they welcome Dr. Madan Kandula, an otolaryngologist (specializing in ear, nose and throat health), to the show. The discuss the health benefits of proper breathing, especially when it relates to sleep. Dr. Kandula describes the way in which sleep apnea can impact health and longevity, plus he offers some opinions on the benefits of items sold to help people breath better.

On this episode of Living Beyond 120, Mark and Dr. Gladden welcome Dr. Gregory Fahy, cryobiologist and biogerontologist, back onto the show. They start by discussing how the human body is designed to eventually make itself obsolete, with cell senescence, but the system can be hacked to increase longevity. Dr. Fahy describes the crucial role that the thymus gland plays in immunity. After puberty, the thymus starts to wither and die as we approach our 40s. For humans, this doesn't seem have a massive impact until reaching one's 60s, when the ability to recognize and fight infections starts to steeply decline. Dr. Fahy regrew his own thymus with human growth hormone, so he used this experiment as a baseline for dosage on the TRIM trial with 9 other volunteers. He describes the protocols and challenges of this trial, as well as the incredible results documented with this first study. They also discuss the next trial Dr. Fahy is planning soon, TRIM X, to further examine the success of human growth hormone on regrowing the thymus and the ways it affects the age of the body as a whole. Before wrapping up, Dr. Fahy shares a number of other exciting studies taking place to reverse aging. They discuss how these various treatments could possibly work together in the future, as well as the balance that will need to be struck with these sorts of anti-aging treatments. About the guest: Dr. Fahy earned his B.S. from the University of California at Irvine in 1972 and his Ph.D. from the Medical College of Georgia in 1977 for work on basic aspects of cryobiology. He spent the next 18 years developing methods for preserving whole organs at cryogenic temperatures at the American Red Cross in Maryland. In 1980, he conceived of preserving organs by vitrification. He published the first proof of principle of this concept in Nature in 1985 using mouse embryos as a model system, an event that led to the wide use of vitrification in academic and commercial animal husbandry as well as in human assisted reproduction. n 1995, he won the Grand Prize for Medicine from INPEX for his invention of the first effective computer-operated equipment for perfusing organs with cryoprotective agents. The same year, he left the Red Cross to become Chief Scientist of two biotechnology companies and the Head of the Tissue Cryopreservation Section of the Transfusion and Cryopreservation Research Program at the Naval Medical Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland. In 1998, he became the Chief Scientific Officer and Vice President of 21st Century Medicine, where he invented several new principles in cryopreservation that have been extraordinarily effective in practical applications ranging from tissues to whole organs. Dr. Fahy's efforts have recently raised the question of whether human suspended animation might be an attainable goal that could allow the human species to survive in deep time as a result of enabling migration from the earth to other habitats in the cosmos. Dr. Fahy is a sought-after speaker and problem-solver. He is on the Board of Directors of several organizations concerned with cryopreservation or aging, serves on the Editorial Board of Rejuvenation Research, and has served as a reviewer for numerous journals and granting bodies. He has over 20 patents in fields related to cryopreservation, aging, transplantation, metabolic protection, and the reversal of autoimmunity and immunosenescence, and has many publications in the fields of cryobiology, aging, and nanotechnology. He currently serves as Director for Intervene Immune, Inc. Learn more about the projects they are working on and how to become a part of their clinical trials at http://interveneimmune.com/.

On this episode, Mark and Dr. Gladden call back to a previous episode with Dr. Gregory Fahy and the link between the thymus gland, immunity and aging. They expand on this, considering potential ways to turn back the clock on the DNA age of your body. Dr. Gladden describes a number of different metrics to measure age, besides chronology. They also consider how much your mindset about your age determines how you actually live and feel. Mark describes some studies that show the powerful impact of mindset and emotional health on our physical bodies. Mark and Dr. Gladden discuss the effects of constant stress and describe the difference between that and facing challenges for a positive change. Finally, they wrap up with Mark offering a quick hypnotist solution to dealing with a headache.

This week, Mark and Dr. Gladden kick off the show by discussing Rapamycin, a drug traditionally used as an anti-rejection drug for organ transplant recipients. New studies are showing that it can possibly extend lifespan but can also suppress the immune system. Dr. Gladden shares that he is planning on testing small quantities of this drug on himself and monitoring how his body reacts. Next, they are joined by Dr. Josh Wagner, renowned chiropractor and author of the book You Deserve It, to talk about the damaging effects of mental and emotional stress. He shares that, in many cases, people have trouble finding happiness because they don't truly believe they deserve to be happy. When this happens, they create mental and emotional blocks that keep them from obtaining what they strive for. Dr. Wagner continues with insight into the ways that media tends to lend a hand in creating additional emotional stress. When we start to compare ourselves or our accomplishments with other people's, it steals the joy from our own lives. The group chats about the habit of "unplugging" from the outside world by turning off their phones or disabling notifications to keep social disruptions to a minimal. They conclude with discussing how to overcome feelings of inadequacy in order to better handle emotional and mental stress. By pinpointing the areas in our lives in which we feel undeserving – and then surrounding ourselves with people who also practice deserving mindsets ­– we can begin the shift out of a mindset of unworthiness.

On this week's episode, Mark and Dr Gladden are joined by Dr. Ron Ehrlich, Australian Holistic Dentist, to talk about the importance of oral care while striving towards better health and longevity. Dr. Ehrlich shares his fascination with dentistry and how oral care, or a lack thereof, can affect every part of our bodies. He explains how different forms of chronic pain can originate from our mouths due to improper care of our teeth and gums. The group moves on to discuss that the way that most people discount the importance of oral care can lead to systemic health problems down the line. Maintaining a nutrient-rich diet helps to support our teeth and gums as well as aiding in proper digestion and overall health and wellness. They finish up by talking about the idea of not only breathing, but "breathing well." Dr. Ehrlich gives insight into mouth-breathing versus nose-breathing and ways we can train ourselves to breathe more frequently and more deeply through our noses. Special Guest Dr Ron Ehrlich Dr Ron Ehrlich is a holistic health advocate, educator, author, podcaster and holistic dentist. He has been in clinical practice for over 35 years and holds fellowships in nutritional and environmental medicine, and in lifestyle medicine. His 2018 book, A Life Less Stressed: the 5 pillars of health and wellness, has been published internationally. He has a weekly podcast Unstress with Dr Ron Ehrlich where he explores the themes of his book. He is cofounder of Nourishing Australia, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to health soils, plants, animals, food, people, and the planet. He is currently President of the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine.

On this episode, Mark and Dr. Gladden welcome Alex Tarnava, CEO at NMW and Drink HRW, to chat about a myriad of topics pertaining to health and longevity. They start off by discussing the trend of diets that mimic fasting and what outcome they have on our health. Because fasting "resets" our bodies, it has been shown to have great effect in aiding such things as DNA repair, gut health, and autophagy. Alex gives insight into the correlation between fasting and cancer treatments. He explains how fasting leads to a lack of sugar in the body, which can actually weaken cancer cells, making chemotherapy and other treatments more effective at targeting cancerous cells. Next, the group moves on to discussing molecular hydrogen and the incredible studies that are gaining popularity and notoriety. Molecular hydrogen can help to mitigate the biggest contributors to aging, which is making it appealing to those striving for longevity. It has also been shown to reduce liver fat and improve conditions associated with mitochondrial impairments, diabetes, and metabolic issues. The uses of hydrogen are becoming so renowned that even athletes have begun to utilize it to help their bodies respond better to exercise and increase their overall energy. Special Guest Alex Tarnava Alex has a passion for health, fitness, learning and self-improvement. After a lifetime of sports activity, he was shocked to find he'd developed osteoarthritis while still in his physical prime. Unwilling to give up his way of life, he dosed himself regularly with Naproxen to counter the pain and discomfort he lived with every day. Over time, the drug's effects lessened while the gastro-intestinal side-effects increased. Searching for alternatives, Alex scoured medical journals looking for emerging treatments that would help, reading hundreds of published articles in the process. This was where he happened upon the potential of molecular hydrogen. Skeptical at first, the more he read the more interested he became in its potential. Motivated by pain and the hope he garnered from his research, he began to experiment with ways of replicating the dosage levels being used successfully across the scientific community. After a time, he realized he needed real expertise and sought out Dr. Richard Holland's counsel. After a thrilling ride through discovery, multiple experimentation, and finally success, Drink HRW open cup hydrogen tablets were finally ready for the public. Alex remains committed to bringing relief through Rejuvenation and several other planned products to not just other sufferers, but anyone interested in preventative health and longevity. Together, his team wants to ensure that everyone has the chance to experience the tremendous benefits of daily use of molecular hydrogen in a safe and effective manner.

On this episode, Mark and Dr. Gladden are joined by Lyle Haugen, a registered nutrition health coach who has been living with Type 1 diabetes. They discuss both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and how they affect the body. They also talk about how other responses in the body affect diabetes. They consider effective ways that people have been managing and even living well with the disease through proper diet, exercise and medication. Lyle discusses his own health regimen that has helped him reverse many of his diabetes-related conditions and get his life back, along with some success he's had with his clients. In order to get to this point, Lyle had to defy the recommendations of his doctors, which seemed to be only focused on managing in the short term rather than getting better. It's very important to understand your own body, and the most common tests done in doctors' offices today won't tell you all of the details. More comprehensive testing is needed to determine if you're on the road to becoming diabetic and what kind of diet your body might need to prevent it. About the guest: Lyle Haugen a Type 1 diabetic and, now, a registered nutrition health coach. He was diagnosed in 1985, a week after surviving an industrial explosion at a natural gas facility. For 25+ years, he followed all the various advice given by my doctors and nutritionist. None of it allowed him to have consistent, controllable and reliable blood sugars. Inevitably, he began to get many of the conditions associated with Type 1, like eye issues, Crohn's/colitis and diabetic gastroparesis. As these conditions mounted, he grew frustrated and angry with the advice he was given. He decided to take control back and figure it out for himself. He trained in nutrition and health coaching, read books, tried everything he could, took meticulous notes and, finally, he figured out a system, protocol and diet that gave him his life back. He now sleeps through the night and has great energy. He's not afraid to travel or experience life. The freedom he's gained by taking back his blood sugar control has been unimaginable. His associated conditions have been getting better and better, and his health is no longer sliding down a slippery slope. With years of diabetes experience and training as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, he's developed a simple yet effective system for all those who live with Type 1. The experiences of his clients and himself demonstrate that balancing those sugars will net improvements in your health, resolve many conditions and help you awaken to a new life. Haugen realized his goal of creating a website specifically for Type 1 diabetics, https://type1simplified.com/. His adult daughter Shanice helped him refine a recipe on the website for energy bars. He currently resides in the beautiful town of Creston, British Columbia.
