Dallas, TX (PRWEB) October 02, 2014

Hormones are the bodys system of communication and play a critical role in maintaining a healthy weight, emotional status and organ function. They relay important messages relevant to ones nutritional status, metabolism, physiological function, metabolic rate, deficiencies, excesses, thoughts, emotions and desires. Although there are countless hormones within the body, the most common are growth hormone, insulin, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, oxytocin, thyroid, adrenal, and melatonin.

Many doctors who practice anti aging medicine have a saying: Our hormones do not decline because we age; we age because our hormones decline. Because of the hormonal decline that typically begins in the mid 20s, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy has become extremely popular as a means of reducing hormone deficiency symptoms in both males and females and helping those in midlife look and feel much younger. Though the decline is slow and steady, by the time most people reach their mid-60s, levels of important hormones like growth hormone, estrogen, DHEA, and testosterone are nearly half of what they were during youth. With this decrease in hormone levels, the bodys ability to communicate with itself internally begins to break down. Some of the symptoms of hormone imbalances and deficiencies include weight gain, wrinkles and poor sleep quality.

Diet Docs newly approved and released Sermorelin human growth hormone has enabled people throughout the country to benefit from increased levels of natural hGH, leaving them looking younger and feeling better than ever before.

Aside from looking and feeling better, a published study of the benefits of Diet Docs prescription Sermorelin hGH anti-aging therapy also include:

Because a hormone imbalance can wreak havoc on the entire body, Diet Doc evaluates each new patients entire system to uncover hormone imbalances and deficiencies. By utilizing Telemedicine, the most current technology that enables patients to choose their health care professionals from anywhere in the country, patients can consult with one of Diet Docs highly trained doctors, work closely with their certified nutritionists and access the companys team of nutritional coaches and experts without leaving the comfort of their own home.

NEW YORK - A growing middle class and consumers' evolving attitudes toward health and travel have fueled a global spa and wellness industry worth an estimated US$3.4 trillion S$4.3 trillion) in 2013, according to a report released on Tuesday.

Nutrition and weight loss, preventative and personalized health, complementary and alternative medicine, and beauty and anti-aging treatments were the biggest growing sectors, the report compiled by the non-profit research centre SRI International showed.

"All across the world we have seen, from Asia to Europe to Africa to North America, more and more people are consciously thinking about healthy food, exercising, looking to nature, getting massages and doing yoga," said Ophelia Yeung, a senior consultant for SRI International who led the study.

Spa treatments and products, alternative and complementary treatments and weight-loss programs once considered beyond the means of many people, she added, are becoming more mainstream with a growing middle class.

While medical care treats illness and disease, wellness is focused on prevention through a variety of healthy habits, nutritional eating, exercise and treatments.

To compile the report researchers looked at wellness sectors ranging from mind and body fitness to beauty and anti-aging, spas and workplace wellness.

The global spa industry generated $94 billion last year, according to the Global Spa and Wellness Economy Monitor report, up from $60 billion in 2007.

With more than 32,000 spas, Europe had the highest revenue of $29.8 billion, followed by the Asia-Pacific region with $18.8 billion and North America with $18.3 billion.

Emerging markets in the Middle East and Africa have been growing the fastest in terms of adding spas. In Asia, China and India are leading growth, while in Europe it is Eastern Europe, Russia and the Baltic states.

Thermal/mineral springs generated $50 billion worldwide but the biggest industry sector was wellness tourism, or travel associated with maintaining or enhancing one's personal well-being and health, which accounted for $494 billion.

Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) September 30, 2014

FDA-approved injectable dermal fillers (i.e. hyaluronic acid gel, calcium hydroxylapatite, Poly-L-lactic acid) are used in several procedures that are performed to restore any facial fat loss in patients, but are primarily used for wrinkle treatment of the skin, as well as skin rejuvenationin particular, these fillers are being used as popular treatments in nonsurgical cosmetic procedures such as restoring smoother skin in the hands. (1) (2) Dr. Cynthia Elliott of Skinspirations, a center for cosmetic enhancement devoted to non-surgical aesthetics, delineates the simple procedure that allows youth to be restored to the hands using injectables and fillers.

The hands are usually one of the first parts of the body to show age, even before the facesun damage, brown spots, noticeable veins and bones all contribute to a persons perceived age, all of which can be attributed to the external environment, coupled with the way that humans typically neglect their hands, wears on the skin and may leave wrinkles or other damage. (2)

People are most self-conscious about the damage that has been inflicted on their hands over the years, said Dr. Elliott. Hand rejuvenation procedures can make a persons hands look at least 10 years younger with a single treatment, and can provide immediate and lasting results.

According to Dr. Elliott, plumping up the skin with dermal fillers or stimulants, diminishes the prominence of the veins and bones that are seen with aging. When questioned about the aspects of a typical procedure, Dr. Elliott commented that a Skinspirations clinician gives the client two to three painless injections on the top of the hand, followed by massageand that simplicity is what designates it as a lunchtime procedure, because it can be completely administered within 15 minutes and has no downtime. Anyone who has the procedure performed can resume their daily activities immediately afterwards, per Dr. Elliott.

Dr. Elliott gives the following tips for those who wish to preserve the youthful look of their hands:

1. Use sunscreen generously. It is important to remember that we should protect our hands from the sun, just as we would our face or the rest of our body.

2. Drink plenty of water. Regular water intake helps to maintain the supple and smooth feel of the skin.

3. Carry concealer. Using concealer will help to cover any bruising on the hands after cosmetic procedures.

4. Moisturize. Any moisturizers that would typically be used on the face can also be used to protect the hands from the harsher elements of the environment.

Rolling Meadows, Ill. (PRWEB) September 30, 2014

A first-of-its-kind scientific study reveals that dermatologists are the groundbreaking innovators in five of five categories of anti-aging injectable treatments for the face.

The evidenced-based study Who are the Pioneers? A Critical Analysis of Innovation and Expertise in Cutaneous Non-Invasive Procedures is examining all published research to determine which medical specialties have made the most advances in cosmetic treatments. The first study segment released today focuses on botulinum toxins and four types of soft-tissue fillers.

This first unbiased analysis of all existing scientific research will help consumers decide which specialist might be best for facial injectable treatments, said study author Omar A. Ibrahimi, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Connecticut Skin Institute in Stamford, Conn., and a member of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery.

Consumers can be significantly confused because some cosmetic procedures are administered by physicians who are not board-certified dermatologists, and some are even offered by non-physicians, said Ibrahimi. This study is important because expertise and innovation often are judged by who has made the largest contributions to scientific research.

He said the thorough analysis of all peer-reviewed medial research on facial injectables finally answers the question of who are the innovators and the pioneers.

The answer for facial injectables is clearly dermatologists, said Ibrahimi. These data show the overwhelming majority of pioneering research in wrinkle-relaxers and fillers has been done by dermatologists. They are the leading innovators. Patients will know they are in the best hands with a dermatologist.

This first study segment includes botulinum toxins to ease facial lines (i.e., Botox, Dysport and Xeomin) as well as four types of soft-tissue fillers to smooth wrinkles and add facial volume. These include hyaluronic acid fillers (i.e., Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero and Voluma), calcium hydroxyapatite filler (i.e., Radiesse), poly-l lactic acid filler (i.e., Sculptra) and collagen fillers (i.e., Zyderm and Zyplast).

According to the scientific analysis, dermatologists are considered the pioneers in 10 of 10 measures using two scoring systems.

The overall project is using a ranking system for research studies. Those considered to be more valuable generally are cited more frequently by subsequent publications, Ibrahimi said. He and co-authors first sought to identify the most important research studies on injectable procedures, then analyzed the findings to determine the specialties whose members published the most significant research.

Study: Dermatologists Pioneers of Injectables

A Surf City doctor's license was indefinitely suspended and he was been fined $5,000 by the N.C. Medical Board.

The medical board found that Dr. Timothy Han, who had offices in Wilmington and Jacksonville, self-prescribed and self-administered testosterone, tested positive for anabolic steroids and suffered from opiate abuse. The board, in a ruling issued Sept. 23, also found that Han's care of patients did not conform to "standards of prevailing and acceptable medical practice in North Carolina."

Han on Monday denied the accusations. He said the medical board has an agenda. Han said he believes if he had signed a consent order from the medical board, he could have salvaged his career after disciplinary action. But he said signing the order would have been committing perjury, because the accusations aren't valid.

"They want me to perjure myself to make them happy so they can meet their goals," Han said.

According to the medical board's report, the criminal investigation began when Han was arrested on Christmas Day 2012 after allegedly throwing a water bottle at his spouse. Han admitted that he threw an empty disposable plastic water bottle in anger. The charges were later dismissed, but an active police investigation is looking into Han's possible involvement with illegally distributing drugs, according to the medical board.

Surf City police searched Han's two homes and two travel bags. Police uncovered three handguns, vials of various medications, spring-loaded knives and $22,000 in cash, the medical board's report says. Police also found documents indicating Han ordered steroids from Moldova and had them shipped to his medical practice addresses.

No further charges have been filed against Han, and his property has not been returned, he said.

Han said he went into withdrawal while he was incarcerated. He suffered from severe restless legs syndrome, he said, and did not sleep during the two days he was locked up.

Han said he was under pain management when he was sent to jail, but he said he didn't abuse opiates. He said he took pain medication strictly as prescribed.

Chicago, IL USA (PRWEB) September 23, 2014

Representing over 26,000 physician, scientist, and health practitioner members from 120 nations, The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) is a non-profit medical organization dedicated to the advancement of technology to detect, prevent, and treat aging related disease and to promote research into methods to retard and optimize the human aging process.

The A4M advances its prevailing commitment to consumer outreach by publishing its series of Anti-Aging Tip Sheets, sharing the best anti-aging tips to help enhance the healthy, vital, fit, productive lifespan.

Anti-Aging Essentials, the newest in the A4M Tip Sheet series, presents the scientific evidence demonstrating the diverse health-promoting benefits of the tenets of anti-aging medicine. The A4M Lifestyle Pyramid is a pictorial display of how the tenets of the anti-aging lifestyle may translate into wide-ranging health benefits, including:

Alleviate Arthritis explains the latest research, focusing on how to prevent arthritis. Learn natural remedies for arthritis, including foods in an arthritis diet.

Beware the Chair presents the leading evidence-based health-promoting benefits of physical activity. Defeat at least a dozen diseases with a fitness routine.

Eat to Live shares study data reaffirming that a healthy diet promotes quality of life, and may extend it too. View the Top 10 Anti-Aging Foods.

Comments Dr. Ronald Klatz, A4M President: Since its founding in 1991, the A4M's scientific educational programs have trained over 100,000 medical professionals, and the organization's education and advocacy initiatives have expanded the availability of advanced biotechnologies and leading-edge preventive healthcare throughout the world. We are equally dedicated to public information, as anti-aging medicine is a grass-roots movement that is consumer-driven and patient-centric.

Anti-aging medicine is a clinical specialty is founded on the application of advanced scientific and medical technologies for the early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related dysfunction, disorders, and diseases. It is a healthcare model promoting innovative science and research to prolong the healthy lifespan in humans. Healthy aging, successful aging, and similar monikers merely rebrand the original term of anti-aging medicine, a clinical field that was established in 1991 by the physicians of the A4M. The goal of anti-aging medicine is not to merely prolong the total years of an individual's life, but to ensure that those years are enjoyed in a productive and vital fashion. The clinical specialty of anti-aging medicine utilizes diagnostic protocols that are supported by scientific evidence to arrive at an objective assessment upon which effective treatment is assigned. Physicians who dispense anti-aging medical care are concerned with the restoration of optimal functioning of the human bodys systems, organs, tissues, and cells.

Researchers from the Imperial College London (United Kingdom) report that potentially 37 million premature deaths over 15 years may be prevented, simply if people modulated six specific modifiable risk factors. Various countries aim to reduce premature mortality from four main non-communicable diseases (NCDs)-namely cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, cancers, and diabetes. These nations have targeted to reduce these disease incidences by 25% from 2010 levels by 2025. Using country-level data on deaths and risk factors and epidemiological models, the researchers estimate the number of deaths that could be prevented between 2010 and 2025 by reducing the burden of each of the six risk factors to globally-agreed target levels -- tobacco use (30% reduction and a more ambitious 50% reduction), alcohol use (10% reduction), salt intake (30% reduction), high blood pressure (25% reduction), and halting the rise in the prevalence of obesity and diabetes. Overall, the findings suggest that meeting the targets for all six risk factors would reduce the risk of dying prematurely from the four main NCDs by 22% in men and 19% for women in 2025 compared to what they were in 2010. Worldwide, this improvement is equivalent to delaying or preventing at least 16 million deaths in people aged 30-70 years and 21 million in those aged 70 years or older over 15 years. The authors predict that the largest benefits will come from reducing high blood pressure and tobacco use. They calculate that a more ambitious 50% reduction in prevalence of smoking by 2025, rather than the current target of 30%, would reduce the risk of dying prematurely by more than 24% in men and by 20% in women. The study investigators submit that: If the agreed risk factor targets are met, premature mortality from the four main NCDs will decrease to levels that are close to the 2525 target, with most of these benefits seen in low-income and middle-income countries.

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 19, 2014

Leading New York team launches its first European integrative anti-aging retreat. World-renowned nutritionist Oz Garcia together with culinary innovator David Bouley to power THE RETREAT - a customized weight-loss and anti-aging 7-day retreat in Europe.

Following a long-standing practice of high-end private retreats, THE RETREAT launches for the first time an open format at 5-Star resort LAndana in the heart of Tuscany, bringing together an exclusive group of up to 20 individuals. THE RETREAT is tailored to the specific needs of each of the participants with four core approaches:

I believe that its very important to nurture the whole body, inside and out, said Oz Garcia, who is frequently featured on national news as one of Americas leading lifestyle nutritionists. In creating THE RETREAT, we focused on developing a total system to restore and rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit.

LAndana Hotel (http://www.andana.it/en/l-andana), the five star resort in the heart of Tuscan Maremma in the 500-hectare La Baldiola Estate, developed by Italian industrialist Vittorio Moretti and home to Alain Ducasses landmark restaurant, will be THE RETREATs first location. Other locations are in the planning across Europe and other parts of the world.

World renowned New York chef David Bouley will inspire Oz Garcias weigh loss diet with gourmet tasting and food innovation to create dishes mainly consisting of raw, local and seasonal produce with emphasis on liquid meals throughout the day. As a result of this dietary nutritional menu, individuals will detoxify, lose weight and de-bloat through enjoyment of a culinary experience.

As part of the THE RETREATs program, Oz will introduce his cutting-edge IV Therapy, a vitamin-drip therapy designed to deliver vital nutrients into the body faster and more effectively, as well as cutting edge nutritional supplements.

About Mila Khezri Mila Khezri, Founder and President of M3Product Inc., who conceived THE RETREAT together with Oz Garcia, commented: We have carefully analyzed the global market for weight-loss and anti-aging retreats. In general, they all fall short on the following: (1) they fail to make an integral connection between body and brain function; (2) food is rarely a culinary experience; (3) there is no lasting impact beyond the program itself. THE RETREAT addresses all three areas while laying the foundation for sustainable life-enhancement beyond THE RETREAT.

About Oz Garcia Author of the best-selling books Look and Feel Fabulous Forever, The Food Cure for Kids, The Balance, and Redesigning 50, Oz Garcia has designed a distinctive nutritional regimen that promotes a total approach to wellness by integrating healthy lifestyle choices through one-on-one counseling sessions, lectures, daily supplement suggestions, nutritious menu items and comprehensive detox/weight loss programs.

His unique and customized approach to nutrition and anti-aging coupled with more than 30-years of experience has made Oz one of the most recognizable names in the industry. He has lectured all over the world and has been a pioneer in the study of nutrition and anti-aging.

Oz was twice voted best nutritionist by New York Magazine and is frequently called upon by some of the most respected names in medicine and news media for his up-to-the-minute views on nutrition and its role in aging and longevity. Oz has been featured in prestigious publications like Vogue, Elle, Travel and Leisure, W Magazine, and The New York Times. He has also made numerous network and cable television appearances including NBCs The Today Show, CBS Morning Show, Good Morning America on ABC, 20/20, 48 Hours, The View, The Doctors, Access Hollywood and Fox News.

West Lafayette, IN September 11, 2014 The ONCOblot Test, a highly sensitive blood test for cancer, has now expanded into international territories; bringing much needed support for early cancer detection to areas beyond The United States.

ONCOblot believes that these two new alliances with the WA Health Clinic and RCLIN SA will not only increase the awareness of choice and availability of cancer screenings, but offer more hope through a more definitive cancer diagnosis.

The WA Health Care is based out of China with laboratories in Shanghai and Beijing. Their innovative clinic treats patients through bringing medical doctors, professors and scientists in the fields of anti-aging medicine, functional medicine and regenerative medicine together. Through this, WA Health Care provides true focus on the patient as a whole, not just their symptoms. By looking at patients as humans, and not merely the sum of their symptoms, WA Health Care is perfectly aligned with ONCOblot's mission.

RCLIN SA is based out of Switzerland and has clinics in Geneva, Moscow, Kiev and Warsaw. RCLIN's mission is to help patients extend their life and maintain their health. They do this through finding and removing the causes of aging and disease, and by offering patients personalized solutions based on the latest scientific achievements. Their personalized approach is what created such an ideal connection for the ONCOblot Test.

With the combined influence and partnership of both health care facilities, ONCOblot is poised to deftly navigate previously unexplored territories and bring cancer screening awareness to more and more people each day.

The ONCOblot Test is a key component to treating cancer because it gives patients and physicians the insights for successful cancer management. Never before has one test been able to detect cancer on such a microscopic level and provide so much knowledge for early intervention and on-going management. ONCOblot looks forward to spreading this knowledge to territories across the globe.

Her success in the business of skin care is widely known, and as a fashion lover, she has constantly been on best-dressed lists. Beauty and fashion truly go hand in hand.

What started out as a practice in the pursuit of beauty, one that thrived purely on word of mouth, has inevitably made Dr. Aivee as one of the major players in the industry. Getting healthy, blemish-free, and luminous skin using non-invasive or minimally invasive methods has always been her technique. And she continues to push the standards with a full integration of beauty and wellness with The Aivee Group.

AIVEE LEAGUE

What is The Aivee Glow? Its a signature look defined as a luminous, radiant, and natural beauty that transcends external perfection. With the new clinic, Dr. Aivee strengthens the four pillars of The Aivee Group: The Aivee Institute (first class center for advanced dermatology, cosmetic surgery, hair restoration, and aesthetic stem cell therapy), Stemcare Institute (premiere center for pain and regenerative medicine using fat stem cells), Aivee Skin Science (research center for developing cosmeceutical and nutriceutical products) and now, The Aivee Clinic (skin-focused approach for no-downtime treatments). The Aivee Group is one well-oiled machine, with all its parts complementing each other toward a holistic beauty goal.

GRADE A

Its no secret that the husband and wife partnership of Dr. Z and Aivee Teo, their love and commitment for each other and their field, has brought them happiness and success. From surviving a long-distance relationship, shuffling back and forth Manila and Singapore to attend to their respective clinics, and always pursuing new ways to rejuvenate skin and provide a sense of well-being. All this while keeping their children close by and rarely being separate from each other. And if youve ever had the privilege of interviewing them together, they really finish each others sentences. Whether thats about their practice or about how they commit to make everything work for their family and business.

This dynamic duo established their anti-aging institute over a decade ago, utilizing maintenance procedures, non-invasive lasers, cutting edge technology such as stem cell therapy and liquid face lifts, and cosmetic surgery. The awareness of the growing needs of their patients and their recent travels to the US and Europe brought them to a new realization. With patients requesting for dramatic makeover programs, twice-a-year rejuvenation therapies and innovative treatments with the least amount or no downtime, SmartSkin became the clear answer as the way to move forward.

The SmartSkin Typing concept is a multi-faceted system with a digital tailor-made evaluation of the skin. By assessing and categorizing skin as oily or dry, sensitive or resistant, pigmented or non-pigmented, wrinkled or tight, you come up with a very specific skin type. From this, a highly customized skin treatment can easily be made. In keeping with the holistic approach, skin experts at The Aivee Clinic can then set the appropriate treatment programprocedures, health supplements, and skin careto achieve that healthy glow.

SKIN

I'm an Osmosis girl. I only use highly active and medically proven skin products on my skin, and I don't like products that have artificialpreservatives or fragrances.

I use the Osmosis Gentle Cleanser in the shower, as I have naturally quite sensitive and reactive skin.My treatment serums include Osmosis Renew for my Vitamin A, which uses a more bio-available form of Vitamin A called retinaldehyde. I then mix together and apply Osmosis Catalyst Plus and Osmosis Stem Factor for my growth factors, peptides, and a cool technology called 'zinc fingers' which all help renew my skin at a cellular level.

A spritz of harmonised water called Osmosis Clear then helps the products penetrate more effectively, as I gently rub it in - hence the name Osmosis: the spray helps the treatment serums penetrate into the skin via osmosis.

As a moisturiser I use a mixture of Osmosis Quench, which emulates our skin's sebum, mixed with Osmosis Immerse, which is slightly thicker, oiler and richer. This mixture is essentially the same as Osmosis Quench Plus (which I've also used) but I can tailor how much extra richness I need depending on how I feel on the day.

I'm naughty as I only cleanse and use my creams once a day, but I'm using good quality serums that help to treat my skin. I know my skin could be even better if I used them twice a day, but I fall into bed at night after working massive days, and it's the last thing I want to think about!

I have a sunscreen collection! Sun damage is one of the major causes of ageing, so I like to have different products for different situations.

I use a cream sunscreen containing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide every day, as I want to protect my skin from the ultra-damaging UVA rays. My favourite at the moment is Osmosis Shade. I supplement this by using a 100 per cent mineral makeup which contains zinc oxide, as an extra layer of protection. I don't wear much makeup, but I love the Jane Iredale Pressed Powder. It's great to know my makeup is having positive effects on my skin.

In my beauty bag: Dr Catherine Stone

This story first appeared in the Sept. 19 issue ofThe Hollywood Reportermagazine.

"I have no intention of dying,"Sumner Redstone told THR in January. Redstone, now 91, has made no secret of his longevity regime. It begins with a breakfast of goji berries, "Green Machine" smoothies and tomato juice followed by a fish dinner and a shot of vodka for its "wonderful" antioxidant properties. The mogul also says he exercises 90 minutes a day. Redstone has kept his promise so far, though he, like the rest of us, can't elude the Grim Reaper forever.

Theoretically that might change one day as society finds itself at what feels like a tipping point. From Master Cleanses to laser peels to Restylane injections, or to cite the latest craze intravenous vitamin infusions like "Myers' cocktail," Angelenos never will find themselves at a loss for quick anti-aging fixes. But merely looking younger no longer is enough. Hollywood wants to live longer and feel younger, and to that end a growing number of establishments at the cutting edge of science (and at least a few dubious alternatives) are ready to feed the new appetite for longevity. Taken to its extremes, health care's sunny future could, in the mind of "regenerative medicine" theoretician and biologist Aubrey deGrey, cure death entirely.

"It's not even a hypothesis; it's just obvious," insists de Grey, a Cambridge-educated Englishman who lives in Mountain View, Calif., where he heads the Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence Research Foundation. ("Senescence" is the lyrical term for the study of biological aging.) "The human body is a machine," he adds, simplifying the premise of his 2007 book, Ending Aging: The Rejuvenation Breakthroughs That Could Reverse Human Aging in Our Lifetime (St. Martin's Press). "Like any other machine, it can be subjected to preventative maintenance that will keep it going indefinitely by removing and replacing parts, just the way we do for a car." De Grey has drawn the attention of such Hollywood notables as Edward James Olmos and DJ Steve Aoki, who samples a de Grey lecture on his upcoming album Neon Future. Says Aoki of de Grey's claims, "It's not science fiction."

Such optimism has transformed anti-aging into an $88 billion industry. To learn more, this reporter ventured into the eye of the longevity storm, a journey that led me to get naked in egg-shaped pods, endure subfreezing temperatures and sprint on a treadmill until I collapsed. In short, my quest for immortality nearly killed me.

I'm encased in a plastic pod straight out of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Standing outside, a muscle-bound man repeatedly shouts "Clear!" into a walkie-talkie. Each time he does, I gulp deeply to pop my ears, which keep clogging as if I'm in an aircraft that is rapidly changing altitude. This strange device is called a Cyclic Variations in Adaptive Conditioning machine, and proponents say prolonged exposure to its altitude-simulating technology gives one a vigorous aerobic workout without moving a muscle. Top-ranked tennis pro Novak Djokovic swears by it, the Internet tells me.

I stumbled upon this pod by accident after wandering into the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center, one of scores of hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) clinics that have sprouted up throughout Los Angeles like cold-pressed juice bars. Situated nowhere near Beverly Hills on a wide stretch of Sepulveda Boulevard in West L.A. the clinic boasts a friendly proprietor, Dan Holtz, who greeted me. A former general contractor and lifelong bodybuilder with no medical training, Holtz now oversees a thriving HRT business. Customers have their blood analyzed by "staff doctors" and are prescribed a cocktail of "age-defying miracle hormones." Do you have suboptimal levels of testosterone, thyroid hormones, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), adrenaline or pregnenolone? There's a gel/ cream/pill/syringe for that. Take a "stimulation test," and if you fail, you're cleared for human growth hormone though be prepared to spend more than $1,200 a month for injections. Much has been written about Hollywood's obsession with HGH and its reputed ability to burn body fat, promote lean muscle mass, render skin more elastic, decrease cholesterol, improve vision, restore sex drive and more. Its most notable celebrity adherents are Sylvester Stallone, nabbed in 2007 at Sydney Airport smuggling 48 vials in his bag, and Suzanne Somers, who in recent years has refashioned herself into an HRT guru. Pausing to pop a hormone pill, Holtz detailed the clinic's spectrum of age-deferring services, including a reference to sending patients "to Panama City for stem-cell infusions."

I began to wonder whether I might prefer a more white-coat approach. That brought me to The Body Well, an upscale facility in West Hollywood overseen by Dr. Mike Carragher, a lean physician who specializes in "age management medicine." For a $4,000 annual fee (excluding the cost of hormones, which average $400 a month and can hit four times that if patients take HGH), Carragher runs clients through a diagnostic gantlet that includes a physical exam, a full blood panel, a cardiovascular risk profile and a computer quiz that tests for early signs of dementia. He then tailors a plan, prescribing whichever hormones he deems necessary. Many of his clients, like 39-year-old Teen Wolf showrunner Jeff Davis, are busy entertainment executives seeking a boost to survive grueling production schedules. "I wanted not just a doctor, but I wanted to be able to live a little better and figure out how to manage stress and energy well," says Davis, who started on a low HGH dosage. "That's scary to everyone, I know, especially when you look at Sylvester Stallone and how many vials a day he probably uses. But Dr. Mike told me it's all about maintaining the right levels of hormones and stuff."

Alas, HRT likely will not help you live longer. So says UCLA medical school professor Dr. Rita Effros, president of the Gerontological Society of America. "It's dangerous to willy-nilly pump people with hormones just because the level of that hormone has gone down," she says. "Growth hormone doesn't seem to be panning out as a solution to aging. People say they feel young again, but it can do a lot of bad things too. When one hormone level goes down, others may be compensating."

That made me second-guess a prospective existence marked by invigorating daily injections and jaunts to Panama City. Maybe I needed something more clinical, where I could wear a really nice bathrobe. That brought me to the California Health & Longevity Institute in Westlake Village. This "lifestyle transformation destination" was founded by David Murdock, chairman and CEO of Dole Food Co. Like Redstone, Murdock is a 91-year-old billionaire with designs to stick around as long as possible. The magnate consumes several smoothies a day he adds banana peels for extra fiber and has devoted a chunk of his fortune to spreading the longevity gospel. Every major Hollywood studio contacts CHLI, which features an on-premises Four Seasons hotel, for "deluxe" physicals (cost: $3,650) for their executives that aim to give patients actionable information to live longer. The daylong sessions include a state-of-the-art exam, nutrition and fitness consultations, a resting metabolic rate (RMR) test and a 50-minute massage.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ (PRWEB) September 04, 2014

Jason Hope, entrepreneur, philanthropist and investor with a passion for technology, has indicated his support of anti-aging research also supported by tech leaders Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Peter Thiel. In 2010 Hope has pledged a $500,000 donation to a leading organization battling to find a cure for aging and all of the health conditions that come with the process. This donation was recently reported in an article on Digital Journal.

Hope's money will continue to go to the SENS Research Foundation, the most technologically advanced non-profit research laboratory fully dedicated to fighting the aging process. Aubrey de Grey, the world's foremost expert on anti-aging research, runs the Foundation. Hope's donation will help further the Foundation's research efforts, which are focused largely on preventing many of the diseases and ailments that happen during the aging process.

"I have always said that we need to make a change if we are going to live longer, healthier lives in this country," stated Hope when asked about this donation. "We must look past treating the symptoms of aging and start considering preventing those problems in the first place."

SENS stands for Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence, and the Foundation states that its goal is to "transform the way the world researches and treats age-related diseases." The research is looking into repairing living cells and intervening in the metabolic processes that lead to the aging process. Regenerative medicine research is a core of what the SENS Research Foundation pursues.

Fighting the aging process is something that has caught the eye of the tech world. Hope's donation follows similar donations by Thiel, tech investor made famous for his initial investment in Facebook and one of the founders of PayPal. Google's founders have poured millions of dollars of research into their own anti-aging company, the California Life Company, or Calico.

In an exclusive report following Page and Brin's announcement of their own anti-aging research endeavors, de Grey of the SENS Research Foundation told Time magazine, "With Google's decision to direct its astronomical resources to a concerted assault on aging, that battle may have been descended."

Will the cure to aging be found soon? No one knows, but it's clear that the leaders in the tech industry are hopeful, and are putting their money into the pot.
