In this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden interviews Dr. Michael Renzulli, who shares his journey into healthcare, transitioning from traditional practices to holistic approaches. They discuss the emergence of red light therapy, its scientific basis, and its applications in treating various health issues, particularly obesity and metabolic health. The conversation emphasizes the importance of innovative healing technologies and their potential to transform lives. In this conversation, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden and Dr. Mike Renzulli explore the evolution of healthcare from merely managing symptoms to addressing root causes through precision medicine. They discuss innovative approaches to weight loss, the importance of detoxification, and the role of GLP-1 medications. The conversation emphasizes the significance of body composition over weight alone, the impact of fasting, and the necessity of a systems approach to health optimization, including thyroid function and oxidative stress management. Ultimately, they advocate for personalized solutions tailored to individual needs for lasting health improvements.   For Audience Use code 'Podcast10' to get 10% OFF on any of our supplements at https://gladdenlongevityshop.com/ !    Takeaways         Dr. Renzulli's early inspiration for healthcare came from witnessing a life-saving moment.         His journey led him to explore holistic approaches after observing disillusionment in traditional doctors.         Red light therapy emerged as a significant tool in his practice, offering innovative health solutions.         The design and proximity of red light beds are crucial for effective treatment outcomes.         Different wavelengths of light have varying effects on the body, from skin rejuvenation to deeper tissue healing.         Red light therapy can enhance ATP production and reduce oxidative stress.         Integrating red light therapy with other treatments can improve metabolic health and energy levels.         Obesity is a growing epidemic, and red light therapy can play a role in weight loss.         The technology behind red light therapy is backed by numerous studies and evidence-based results.         Patients experience significant improvements in health and well-being through these innovative therapies. Patients are increasingly seeking root cause solutions rather than just symptom management.         Precision medicine offers real hope and tangible results for patients.         Weight loss strategies must focus on detoxification and cellular health.         Inflammation is a key factor in weight gain and insulin resistance.         A systematic approach to health can yield better outcomes than isolated treatments.         Body composition is a more important metric than weight alone.         GLP-1 medications can have adverse effects on muscle and bone density.         Fasting can be beneficial if done correctly, focusing on fat loss rather than muscle loss.         Precision medicine requires a deep understanding of individual genetics and biology.         A comprehensive approach to health includes monitoring thyroid function and metabolic rates.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Healthcare Journey 03:01 Transitioning from Traditional to Holistic Healthcare 06:12 The Rise of Red Light Therapy 08:56 Understanding Red Light Technology 11:52 The Science Behind Wavelengths and Healing 14:55 Applications of Red Light Therapy in Health 17:55 Addressing Obesity and Metabolic Health 20:50 Integrating Therapies for Optimal Health 23:45 The Shift from Symptom Management to Root Cause Healing 24:40 Real Results: The Promise of Precision Medicine 25:59 Innovative Approaches to Weight Loss and Wellness 28:50 The Science of Detoxification and Cellular Reset 31:05 Understanding Oxidative Stress and Inflammation 32:37 The Importance of Body Composition Over Weight 36:01 The Role of GLP-1 in Weight Management 38:34 Fasting and Its Impact on Body Composition 40:52 Precision Medicine: Tailoring Solutions for Individuals 42:07 Balancing Thyroid Function for Weight Loss 46:49 The Systems Approach to Health Optimization   To learn more about Dr. Renzulli: Email:  info@bioantiage.com Website: www.bioantiage.com   Reach out to us at:    Website: https://gladdenlongevity.com/     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Gladdenlongevity/    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gladdenlongevity/?hl=en     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gladdenlongevity    YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5_q8nexY4K5ilgFnKm7naw       Gladden Longevity Podcast Disclosures Production & Independence The Gladden Longevity Podcast and Age Hackers are produced by Gladden Longevity Podcast, which operates independently from Dr. Jeffrey Gladden's clinical practice and research at Gladden Longevity in Irving, Texas.

By exploring the 'what-if mind,' we unpack how these relentless thoughts can spiral into overwhelming anxiety. The discussion centers on recognizing where our concerns originate, often rooted in our instinct to protect ourselves. While our minds are hardwired to anticipate dangers and potential problems, this survival mechanism can easily turn into an exhausting cycle of worry.The show emphasizes that these what-ifs can feel convincing and powerful, often painting scenarios that never materialize while neglecting positive outcomes. This pattern leads to a narrowed perspective, amplifying fear beyond reality. I stress the importance of not fighting or suppressing these thoughts but rather acknowledging their presence and gently guiding the mind back to the present—where our true power lies.Throughout the episode, I share strategies to help listeners identify and manage their what-if thoughts. The key is early recognition—skills that can be cultivated over time. I discuss the significance of labeling anxious thoughts as they arise, reframing them to acknowledge that they are simply future predictions and not current facts. This technique enables listeners to replace anxiety with grounding affirmations and return to their breath, thereby reclaiming their calm.#AnxietyRelief, #FutureAnxiety, #Overthinking, #WorryLess, #CalmYourMind, #WhatIfs, #AnxietySupport, #StressRelief, #AnxietyAwareness, #AnxietyTips, #EmotionalWellness, #QuietMind, #Mindfulness, #PresentMoment, #ReturnToNow, #BeHereNow, #BePresent, #MindfulLiving, #InTheMoment, #MindfulnessPractice, #CalmMind, #PeaceOfMind, #GuidedMeditation, #MeditationPractice, #BreathingExercises, #Breathwork, #Grounding, #Mantra, #Affirmations, #DailyMeditation, #MeditationJourney, #MindfulBreathing, #MentalHealth, #MentalHealthMatters, #SelfCare, #SelfLove, #PersonalGrowth, #InnerPeace, #Wellness, #Wellbeing, #Healing, #EndTheStigma, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #GinaRyan, #AnxietyCoach, #LifeCoach, #WellnessPodcast, #Coaching, #PodcastLife. #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chris Spencer is a tech entrepreneur and founder of TeamQ, who today is using his decade playing in the NFL as a foundation for helping athletes across the country maximize their potential on the field and in life. In this episode, Spencer and Anne Hancock Toomey discuss his background growing up in Bentonia, Mississippi, transitioning from farm life to football. He wasn't just a football player, though. Spencer had an impressive career at Ole Miss and, following a conversation with Archie Manning, entered the draft...where he was picked in the first round (unheard of for a center) and ended up snapping the ball on the play that instantly became known as BeastQuake.

Key Takeaways: The rise of digital money: The growing use of digital currencies like Bitcoin marks a major shift in the global financial system and challenges old ways of thinking about money. Bitcoin as the new foundation: Because it's scarce and secure, Bitcoin is becoming the core asset—or “heart”—of the modern financial world. Shift assets strategically: Smart investors are using assets like real estate as collateral to invest in Bitcoin-backed opportunities for stronger returns. Plan smart for taxes: A good tax strategy reduces financial strain, improves cash flow, and helps grow long-term wealth. Recognize signs of change: Things like social unrest, high debt, and declining trust in traditional systems show we're moving toward a digital-based economy—spotting these trends early can create financial advantages.

Youtubehttps://beacons.ai/ellemonaeSpotifyBioElle Mona'e is an artist you may recognize without realizing it. She popularity as a Bombshell on Season 2 of Netflix's hit series Too Hot to Handle, quickly becoming a fan favorite. Since then, she has expanded into the music world to share a new and deeply passionate side of herself.Her latest single, “Land of Groove,” lives up to its name. Blending pop and dance elements with an ethereal, space-like vibe, the song invites listeners to lose themselves in its infectious rhythm. With playful, step-inspired lyrics reminiscent of timeless dance anthems, Elle creates a sound that's fun, uplifting, and perfect for all audiences.Falling in love with the production process, Elle collaborated with a songwriter who truly understood her vision. “I told him my whole vibe was fun. I wanted people of all ages to be able to dance to this. I wanted it to be a truly feel-good song,” she shares. “We bounced some ideas around, and that's how ‘Land of Groove' came to be.”Though “Land of Groove” is a re-release, Elle brings a new sense of confidence and purpose to this version. “I was proud of myself the first time I released the track,” she says. “Now I have even more confidence because I know there's an audience for it and I know how to continue giving them what they want. This time around, I'm even more excited.”While “Land of Groove” thrives in the dance-pop lane, Elle's upcoming release, “Can't Lose,” shifts toward an empowering R&B sound. As an introvert stepping into music, she's learning to share more of herself at her own pace. Her goal is to deliver a variety of genres and moods while staying true to her authentic self.Transitioning from reality TV to music hasn't been without challenges. Although her time on Too Hot to Handlebrought brand deals, event invites, and social media growth, Elle felt something was missing. “In the reality TV world, all you have to do is look good and be a good person. After a while, I wanted more. I wanted to create something that truly represented me,” she explains.That desire led her to music—and she approached it with full motivation and determination. “When you have a talent that you enjoy sharing with others and can also make a profit from it, it opens up a completely new lane for you,” she says.Before Too Hot to Handle, Elle was already making waves as the founder of The Stardust Boutique, a unisex brand specializing in zodiac-inspired apparel, jewelry, and cosmetics. Her entrepreneurial spirit shined during the pandemic when she grew her online presence and business through creativity and social media. One viral post even caught the attention of a casting agent, ultimately leading to her appearance on the show.Looking ahead, Elle plans to release an EP titled Stardust, continuing to build her music career while expanding her creative ventures.

Get early access to all of the 2025 RENEW Gathering Breakout Tracks: https://reallifetheologypodcast.supercast.com/  Visit RENEW.org for great resources on Disciple Making and Theology.  Today's episode will help us gain a comprehensive understanding of the end times, including key theological concepts, personal anecdotes, and essential teachings, while emphasizing the urgency of discipleship and the eternal implications of our earthly choices. In this episode, Anthony Walker, a minister from the Highway 231 South Church of Christ in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, provides a comprehensive teaching on the end times, also known as eschatology. The session begins with Walker introducing himself and setting the expectation that this teaching will cover a broad spectrum of information, though only a portion may be addressed due to time constraints. He emphasizes the availability of a free ebook on renew.org and a podcast named "Scripture in Black and White" as additional resources for those interested in a more in-depth exploration of the topic. Walker delves into his personal history, recounting how the death of his father when he was a young child influenced his lifelong quest to understand life, death, and the end times. He shares poignant memories of grappling with the concept of death from an early age, and how his grandmother's profound yet simple theological guidance shaped his initial understanding of eschatology. Transitioning into the core teachings, Walker outlines the importance of distinguishing between essential, important, and disputable teachings within Christian doctrine. Using examples from both personal anecdotes and scripture, he explains that while some aspects of eschatology may be open to interpretation, there are fundamental elements that are universally accepted among Christians. These essentials include the belief in Christ's second coming, the resurrection of the dead, and God's final judgment. Walker breaks down what happens after death, referencing terms like "Sheol" from the Old Testament and "Hades" from the New Testament, to describe the intermediate state of the dead. He uses the parable of the rich man and Lazarus to illustrate the dichotomy between paradise (a place of comfort for the righteous) and Hades (a place of torment for the unrighteous). He addresses common questions about the afterlife, such as whether souls are inherently eternal and what happens immediately after death. The session also covers the second coming of Christ, highlighting that it will be visible, sudden, and unexpected, bringing glory to Christ and reuniting Christians. Walker discusses the resurrection of the dead and the final judgment, noting that it will be comprehensive and based on Jesus's teachings. He emphasizes that everyone will face judgment, and it will be both fair and final. Walker stresses the importance of living with an awareness of God's sovereignty and holiness. He points out that while God's love and grace are immense, His justice demands accountability. He vividly describes the horrors of hell as an irreversible punishment for those who reject Christ's atonement, contrasting it with the eternal joy and presence of God in heaven. In conclusion, Walker calls for an urgent commitment to discipleship, warning against complacency and underscoring the eternal implications of our earthly choices. The episode serves as both a theological exploration and a heartfelt appeal for believers to live in alignment with God's will, while also providing practical resources for further study on the end times.

Send us a textTransitioning EMRs can either be the upgrade that unlocks your practice's next level—or the operational nightmare that drains cash, kills productivity, and torpedoes patient experience. In this hard-hitting episode of Private Practice Survival Guide, Brandon Siegel demolishes the “4–6 week” implementation myth and lays out a battle-tested roadmap: a realistic 3–6 month (often 9–12 month end-to-end) plan, a 90-day parallel run, airtight data migration (HL7/FHIR/CCD/CCDA), and surgical timing for EDI/ERA so revenue doesn't evaporate mid-switch. You'll learn how to map workflows, choose features that matter (not “massaging seats”), set KPIs, avoid AI-driven compliance traps, stage go-lives during low-volume windows, and build a true stakeholder taskforce (project lead, super users, vendor coordination) with downtime contingencies and HIPAA-grade security. If you're changing EMRs in 2025–2026, this is your no-BS playbook to protect cash flow, staff, and patients—while actually improving care.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!

In this episode, Dan and Mason take a hard look at the realities of today's land market — from slowing deal flow to shifting buyer psychology. As the year winds down, they unpack what “normalization” really means for investors and why it's not necessarily bad news. The two explore how operators can stay profitable even as volume cools, highlighting the difference between reactive sellers and disciplined acquirers who keep pipelines alive when everyone else pulls back.They break down the anatomy of consistent deal flow, how to qualify leads, nurture them through smart drip campaigns, and build systems that make follow-up second nature. From the importance of returning every call to creating a framework that tracks every lead source, Dan and Mason show how small operational habits often separate six-figure flippers from those who burn out.The conversation then dives deep into the structure of seller financing — the legal protections, the red flags, and why due diligence matters more than ever when buyers bring low capital or spotty credit. You'll hear hard-won lessons from real deals that went sideways and how to avoid them through strong notes, trust deeds, and meaningful down payments.Tune in to learn how top land investors adapt to shifting markets, structure smarter deals, and stay motivated long after the excitement fades.===Key Topics:-Adapting to changing market conditions and slower deal flow-Building consistent lead follow-up systems that capture missed opportunities-Structuring safe and profitable seller financing deals-Staying motivated through long timelines and delayed payoffs-Transitioning from small flips to larger, riskier opportunities-Accurate pricing in rural counties with few comparables===

Mac Shelton is the co-founder of Sweetbay Capital, a real estate private equity firm focused on value-add multifamily investments in Virginia and the Carolinas. With a background in private equity and mezzanine lending, Mac blends institutional financial experience with a data-driven approach to real estate. Since 2021, he and his team have built a portfolio of over 340 units, concentrating on under-the-radar markets like Roanoke, VA, where rent growth consistently outpaces new supply.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Rent growth—not population growth—is the key driver of returns Markets with less outside capital often outperform due to better entry pricing and lower volatility Renovation premiums are often overestimated—test before scaling your plan Conservative exit underwriting should account for the next buyer's view, not just your own Transparency with investors builds trust and fuels long-term partnerships     Topics Why Sweetbay Focuses on Smaller Markets Smaller markets like Roanoke and Columbia are producing higher rent growth with lower acquisition costs Mac compares tertiary markets to places like Raleigh in the early 2000s—under the radar but primed for stable returns Oversupply in "hot" metros like Raleigh and Charlotte is driving rents down, while less popular markets remain steady Data Over Hype: What Drives Rent Growth Rent growth is more important than population growth and is driven by renter population relative to new supply Mac shares an analysis comparing Roanoke to Raleigh, Charlotte, and Greenville—showing similar or better rent performance with lower price per door Why Lease Trade-Outs and Renewals Matter Lease trade-outs measure organic rent growth, but renewals give even clearer insight into demand Renewals at 3–4% growth without renovations are often a better gauge than turnover metrics Exit Assumptions: Thinking Like the Next Buyer Every acquisition includes a re-underwrite from the future buyer's perspective Mac shares how he checks cap rate assumptions against current comps and validates price-per-door benchmarks Transitioning from Private Equity to Real Estate Mac started his career in private equity and gradually began acquiring rentals with his bonus income His first syndication scaled a student rental model he'd already executed personally Investor Communication and Building Trust Sweetbay Capital emphasizes detailed offering memorandums with full fee transparency and CapEx justifications Quarterly reports compare actuals vs original projections—no adjusted budgets or post-hoc explanations Advice for New Syndicators Don't start syndicating without doing your own deals first—prove the model with your money Sweetbay's first deal had no promote, just a 3% acquisition fee, to reduce friction and earn investor trust The best way to grow capital is to return it and reinvest with a strong track record
