Cheating Death: The New Science of Living Longer and Better

by Rand McClain

Overview

For the first time outside his private clinic, medical practitioner and pioneer Dr. Rand McClain shares what you can start doing today to increase longevity and better your health—at home or at your doctor’s office.

In this golden age of medical discovery, cutting-edge treatments are emerging that increase longevity, stave off disease, and enhance our appearance and quality of life—our “healthspan.” But chances are, these advances are not readily available at most doctor’s offices, in stores, or easy to find online.

Dr. Rand McClain takes a fresh approach to genetics, natural aging, and proactive medical treatments. He is the founder and head of the renowned Regenerative and Sports Medicine Clinic in Santa Monica, a leading practitioner of alternative and cutting-edge treatments. In Cheating Death, McClain shares the best drugs and supplements, treatment methods, and devices—approaches that are backed by extensive research as well as Dr. McClain’s own work with his patients—including:

• Little-known treatments that can reverse the effects of new and old injuries

• Emergent diagnostic and screening technologies that detect early onset disease sooner

• Breakthrough methods (some DIY) to slow down or reverse aging in the body

• Steps you can take now to enhance gene expression and side-step your “sins of the past” and poor family genetics

Best of all, McClain shows how you can get access to these therapies and jumpstart your body’s regenerative processes—everything from stabilizing mood swings, relieving depression and anxiety, extending hormone balance and sexual function, improving muscle strength and stamina, relieving debilitating pain, and restoring a youthful appearance.

Bolstered with research and recovery stories from real people, Cheating Death gives readers the tools to live healthier, longer lives.

Editorial Reviews

01/16/2023

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. (Jan.)
