Takeaways

In this episode, Dr. Gladden explains why he never wakes up to an alarm and instead lets his body set his sleep schedule. He starts his day with thyroid medication, then uses the first 30 minutes for journaling, gratitude, daily goals, and affirmations. He describes music as part of his routine, including picking up the guitar each morning to write, doodle, and release emotional energy. He rotates his exercise instead of repeating the same workout daily, using mountain biking, running, elliptical work, and an elevation training mask to build lung capacity. He emphasizes getting outside as often as possible and treating movement as a daily non-negotiable. He stacks cardio with sauna when possible, often doing both before starting work. He does not begin his workday until 10 a.m., using the morning to train, recover, and mentally prepare for clients and emails. He trains mobility as seriously as cardio and resistance work, including floor work, crawling, burpees, and deep squat practice. He mentions monthly therapies such as plasmapheresis, Eboo, red light, and ozone sauna as part of his longer-cycle routine. He frames longevity as a yearly performance target: stronger, faster, fitter, sharper, and more mobile than the year before. He stresses treating injuries immediately and using regenerative therapies and peptides to reduce downtime and slow the acceleration of aging. He believes many people stop short in training and need to lean into hard effort rather than backing off too early.
