Dr. Edmund Chein heads the Life Extension Institute in Palm Springs, California, where he discovered that bioidentical hormones activate telomerase, which in turn lengthen the telomere portion of the DNA in our cells. The telomere control the cell aging process.
Dr. Chein has since developed an anti-aging procedure which uses human growth hormones and other bioidentical hormones to activate the telomerase, a process that can slow and even reverse the aging process up to a maximum of 20 years. Here, he discusses how patients on Total Hormone Supplementation Programs are routinely monitored.
Our doctors look once a year to check the levels of their patients, to make sure their bioidentical hormones are still at the level of a 20-year-old. Any laboratory in the United States can do those tests.
The point is to make sure that a 45-year-old individual has the hormone levels of a 20-year-old. If you don’t check it, then how do you know that every hormone is at its optimal level?
The Right Amount
How do you avoid overdosing and under-dosing patients? After your initial visit, our doctors monitor the progress of your hormone levels through blood tests. Your blood is drawn at any one of our contracted blood-draw sites in cities all over the country. Using these test results, our doctors can keep your hormones at optimal levels.
Our monitoring program makes sure that the hormones which the doctor dispense actually reach the levels of a 20-year-old. If they only reach the level of a 30-year-old in the body of a 45-year-old, that means the doctor has failed. Unless that is corrected, you should get your money back.
