If you think joint pain is just part of getting older… think again.

In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Bailey - founder of Avita Yoga and author of the upcoming book Mobility for Life: Healthy Joints, Strong Bones, and a Peaceful Mind - to talk about a radically different approach to joint health, healing, and pain relief after 50.

After a devastating ski accident at 50 left Jeff with a wrecked hip and grim medical predictions, Jeff turned his pain into purpose by developing a practice that helps restore mobility and joint function - without surgery, without extreme stretching, and without feeling like a pretzel in spandex.

We cover everything from why stretching isn’t the answer, to how compression actually heals your joints, to what you should be doing right now to bulletproof your hips, shoulders, knees, and spine for the long haul.

Whether you’re dealing with joint pain, facing a possible replacement, or just want to stay strong, mobile, and independent for decades to come - this one’s for you.

🔥 What You’ll Learn:

· Why joint degeneration isn’t just a normal part of aging

· The surprising reason stretching may be doing more harm than good

· How pressure (not pain) promotes joint healing

· What makes Avita Yoga radically different from traditional yoga

· The ONE skill you need to practice to regain lost mobility

· How to tell the difference between healing sensation and harmful pain

· Practical tips for joint prehab, rehab, and long-term mobility

👤 About Jeff Bailey:

Jeff Bailey has been teaching yoga since 1985 and is the founder of Avita Yoga, a healing-centered practice designed specifically to restore joint health and longevity. After suffering a major hip injury at age 50, Jeff reimagined the role of yoga in healing the body - and has since taught over 13,000 classes and workshops. His upcoming book, Mobility for Life, releases August 5, 2025.

What if everything you’ve been told about aging is wrong?

In this powerful episode, Kevin English sits down with world-renowned longevity expert Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, founder of Gladden Longevity and author of 100 is the New 30, to unpack what it really takes to feel young, strong, and energized - well into your 70s, 80s, and beyond.

Dr. Gladden shares his personal health crisis that led him to leave a 25-year cardiology career and devote his life to helping people live younger for longer. He explains the massive difference between "normal" and "optimal" aging - and why conventional medicine is stuck in the past when it comes to helping us thrive.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why “normal aging” is a myth - and how to aim for *optimal* instead

How Dr. Gladden reversed depression, brain fog, and weight gain in his 50s

What “life energy” is - and why it may be your most important health metric

The difference between sick care, functional medicine, and longevity medicine

How personalized testing and AI are shaping the future of health

Why mindset, meaning, and spiritual connection matter just as much as diet and exercise

What you can do *right now* to start aging backward
