Dr. Chein is a practicing physician in Palm Springs, California, who is regarded by many as one of the founding fathers of longevity and anti-aging medicine. He is trained in rehabilitation medicine - a specialty of restoring function to traumatized and disabled patients. Dr. Chein learned the importance of hormone balancing during the years he replaced hormones in patients with damaged glands. In the early 90s, he researched and discovered the miraculous benefits of the total hormone balancing treatment. His study with Dr. Cass Terry of the Medical College of Wisconsin showed that by replacing and balancing all the hormones in one’s body, we can improve and normalize the body’s systems and functions that deteriorates with age; thereby REVERSING one’s biological age and eliminating age related diseases such as elevated cholesterol, increased body fat, decreased energy and stamina, decreased immunity, decreased sexual functions and wrinkling of skin.
Dr. Chein was the first in the United Stated to discover, advocate, and patent total hormone balancing therapy. He was also the first to replace and balance human growth hormone in adults; advocate and practice replacing thymus hormone; and discover the best sites for transdermal testosterone application so as not to increase harmful dihydrotestostrone levels that can cause prostate enlargement. Dr. Chein was also the first to advocate replacing and balancing the hormone pregnenolone.
Dr. Chein’s work has been discovered in Newsweek, Health and Medicine for Physicians, Ability, Cosmopolitan, and Life Extension Magazine, to name a few.
His total hormone balancing methodology has recently been validated by researchers at Johns Hopkins University and Kanazawa University in Japan. These researchers documented that the longevity gene, telomerase, can be manipulated through optimizing hormones, thereby reversing biological age.
In 1994, Dr. Chein founded the Palm Springs Life Extension Institute. The Institute is visited by hundreds of new patients from all over the world, and has the largest clinical client base in hormone replacement therapy. In 1996, he founded the American Academy of Longevity Medicine for physicians and scientists to pursue and exchange ideas regarding this new specialty.
Dr. Chein performed his medical training in rehabilitation medicine at the University of Southern California School of Medicine in Los Angeles, California. He received his B.A. degree in Psychology from the University of Southern California and his Juris Doctor degree from Southwestern University School of Law.
He has been granted two patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for his inventions in Total Hormone Replacement Therapy and Method of Hormone Treatment with Patients with Multiple Sclerosis.
His publications include “Clinical Experience Using A Low-Dose, High Frequency Human Growth Hormone Treatment Regimen” Journal of Advancement in Medicine, Dec. 1999 and “Retrospective Analysis of the Effects of Low Dose, High Frequency Human Growth Hormone Treatment on Serum Lipids and Prostate Specific Antigen”, American Journal of Aging, May 2001.
