Dr. Jeffrey Gladden argues that your body isn't one age but roughly 60 different ones: your cardiovascular system, immune system, and metabolic functions each age separately. Knowing these individual biological ages motivates people to act before symptoms show up.
What if your age isn't written in stone? One of the most important realizations in modern medicine is that aging is measurable and modifiable. Your chronological age tells me almost nothing about how well your body is functioning. However, your mosaic of biological ages tells me a lot. They reflect how your cardiovascular system, metabolism, immune function, cellular function, and 60 other systems are actually performing. When patients finally see this data, they often entirely change how they think about their future. That insight allows us to act before symptoms ever appear to maintain a person's youthfulness. Understanding your biological ages is only useful when it's interpreted correctly, and at Gladden Longevity, we help people translate that data into actionable and implementable programs.
