CHEATING DEATH: The New Science of Living Longer and Better
I trust this finds you well and continuing to optimize your health. To that end, I’m letting you know that my book, Cheating Death, The New Science of Living Longer and Better, was released March 7, 2023, and is now available for purchase. For Regenerative & Sports Medicine patients, when you purchase Cheating Death from this site, you will receive one (1) complimentary 2-day shipping on your next medication order.
Since I am frequently asked, “What else can I do to optimize my health?”, and we are invariably limited by consultation time, I decided to present the answers to this question in book form so it is both informative and useful. My goal is that it sparks further conversation between you and me about what’s possible when it comes to improving your healthspan and longevity outlook.
You can obtain a copy by visiting www.CheatingDeath.com, and, as my way of saying thank you for your support during this book launch, Regenerative & Sports Medicine will not only provide you one (1) complimentary 2-day shipping on your next refill but also early access to my new app, “Death Clock,” and, you will be among the first to receive episodes one, two, and three of my new docuseries, Beyond Genetics.
This informative if impractical debut by physician McClain explores medical treatments that promise to help patients “live longer, heal faster, and feel better.” He makes the standard case for eating right, exercising, and sleeping well, but the juiciest recommendations are the most futuristic. The author touts the promise of stem cell treatments for restoring damaged tissue and surveys the different types of stem cells, noting that somatic stem cells “replace or repair” specific kinds of cells while pluripotent cells can transform into any kind. Scientific explanations back up his suggestions, though readers might struggle to follow the jargon, such as McClain’s contention that cryotherapy increases longevity “by reducing free radicals, increasing cellular respiration and thermogenesis.” However, the author is careful not to oversell experimental therapies and cautions that while gene editing has shown promise in treating cancer and muscular dystrophy, it’s “still in a developmental phase” and scientists haven’t figured out how to prevent gene changes from “crossing over” into cells scientists didn’t intend to alter. Suggestions to get one’s genome sequenced and stem cells banked, meanwhile, don’t address the prohibitive costs of these technologies. Nonetheless, this serves as a solid overview of pioneering treatments and makes for a stimulating glimpse into what the future of aging might look like.
