"Jeffrey R. Gladden, MD, FACC is the founder and visionary of Apex. As an interventional cardiologist who has treated thousands of patients for cardiovascular disease. Rather than intervening late in the course of the disease, when stents and bypass are the only options, Dr. Gladden chose to refocus on heart attack and stroke prevention. Apex was born by the coupling Dr. Gladden’s approach to cardiovascular disease prevention with age management and integrative medicine. This multifaceted and comprehensive approach has led to the effective arrest and reversal of heart disease. The vision of Apex is based on Dr. Gladden’s personal passion for integrative medicine, age management, and health and human performance optimization. He is actively dedicated to every participant’s success. In his free time, Dr. Gladden enjoys mountain biking, snowboarding, and living the Apex lifestyle. He continues to explore and push the limits of the human aging complex."
