Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, a cardiologist, explains that aging is driven by measurable biological processes like inflammation, mitochondrial decline, and telomere shortening. Identifying which processes are accelerating your aging allows for early interventions before functional decline becomes disease.

You're aging. Why your biology disagrees. I'm Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, and after decades as a cardiologist and longevity physician, I've seen how often people are told aging is unavoidable. Biology, however, tells a different story. Most people equate aging to the passage of time, but biologically, aging is driven by measurable processes like inflammation, mitochondrial decline, hormonal signaling, telomere shortening, and many others. When we identify which of these processes are accelerating aging in your body, we can intervene far earlier and more precisely. The key is knowing which levers to pull and when, before decline becomes disease. Gladden Longevity is for people who want to understand which of those biological levers are actually shaping their aging and which ones still have room to change. This is the kind of work we love to do every day for our clients.
