Dr. Dean is also founder and Medical Director of the Center for Bio-Gerontology in Florida, where he continues his study of the causes of aging, and works to develop ways to measure and to retard the aging process, with the goal of restoring people to more youthful biological ages. Dr. Dean has been Director of Research and Development for Vitamin Research Products since 1996. He is recognized as an Expert Witness on issues of safety and toxicology of nutritional substances. [Back] Karlis Ullis, M.D. Karlis Ullis, M.D. is an internationally recognized authority on anti-aging medicine and sports medicine. He is the author of "Age Right”(Simon & Schuster, 1998), a ground-breaking book on anti-aging therapy for the consumer. He first began developing his theories on anti-aging medicine while at UCLA where he worked with some of the world’s greatest athletes, including Olympic Gold Medallists Gail Deevers, Jackie-Joyner Kersee, Mike Powell, and "Flo Jo" Joyner, among others. When he began applying these advanced anti-aging techniques to patients in his private practice, the results were startling: Middle-aged men and women who had accepted a decline in their health as a "fact-of-life" were re-vitalized - physically, intellectually and sexually. He is one of the world’s foremost sports medicine physicians, and is on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Life Extension Foundation. Since 1978, Dr. Ullis has focused on sports medicine care for UCLA intercollegiate athletes, recreational athletes, and world-class athletes. His work includes metabolic, hormonal and nutritional interventions, with pertinent applications in the anti-aging arena. He is on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Anti-Aging Medicine, a quarterly, international, peer-reviewed publication that comprehensively covers the clinical and business aspects of the emerging field of anti-aging medicine. [Back] Brian Tracy Brian Tracy is one of America's leading authorities on
the development of human potential and personal effectiveness. He's a
