On this week's episode of the Escape Your Limits podcast, we are joined by Dr. Rand McCain, aka 'The Longevity Doctor' to explore whether death is predetermined by genetics or whether we can make informed lifestyle choices that extend health span and override the influence of our genes.

Dr. McClain earned his medical degree at Western University and completed his internship at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine Residency Program (U.S.C. California Hospital) and has spent his professional life redefining what it means to be in optimal health. Having established his own practice, Regenerative and Sports Medicine Dr. McClain supports his patients (many of which are A-List celebrities and world-class athletes) through the application of cutting edge treatments and philosophies including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cryotherapy, platelet rich plasma and stem cell therapies.

In his recent book, 'Cheating Death: The New Science of Living Longer and Better', Dr. McClain reveals fresh, science-backed approach to genetics, natural aging, and proactive medical treatments and discusses how to access to these therapies to jumpstart their body's regenerative processes. Bolstered with research and recovery stories from real people, Cheating Death gives readers the tools to live healthier, longer lives.

In this podcast, Dr. McClain talks extensively about:

● Fitness trends and nutrition principles past and present.

● Biological age versus Chronological age.

● Key bio markers for predicting healthy longevity.

● Anti-aging supplements.

● The effect of NAD on energy and sleep.

● Polyphenols and their role in fighting inflammation and cancer.

● Sleep hygiene habits.

● Cold Therapy and heat shock proteins to boost health.

● Air quality's impact on health.

● Testosterone replacement therapy. Debunking myths.

● Fasting and its effects on cortisol.
