About Dr. Edmund Chein & the Palm Springs Life Extension Institute
The Palm Springs Life Extension Institute was founded in 1994 to make Dr. Edmund Chein's patented total hormone replacement balancing therapies available in a clinical setting that would emphasize complete anti-aging health and well-being.

Dr. Edmund Chein practices in Palm Springs, California, and is regarded as one of the founding fathers of longevity and anti-aging medicine.
Dr. Chein received his training at the University of Southern California Medical Center in Rehabilitation Medicine. He learned the importance of hormone balancing during these rehabilitation years when, after replacing hormones in patients with damaged glands, he could see tremendous differences in their recoveries.
In the early 1990s, Dr. Chein discovered that the telomere, found in the DNA, controls human aging and that telomerase, which controls the length of the telomere, is in turn controlled by bio-identical hormones (not designer hormones). Dr. Chein parlayed this discovery into Total Hormone Supplementation Therapy. He then collaborated on a study with Dr. Cass Terry of the Medical College of Wisconsin, testing 1,000 human subjects by replacing and balancing the hormones in their bodies to optimal, youthful levels. The study showed that the method was safe, that human body systems and functions which deteriorate with age can be restored, and that biological age can be reversed. They also found that age-related conditions such as elevated cholesterol, increased body fat, and decreased energy, stamina, immunity, and sexual function, can all be eliminated. He subsequently renamed the treatment Telomerase Activating Therapy.
In 1994, Dr. Chein founded the Palm Springs Life Extension Institute. Every year, hundreds of new patients come to the Institute from all over the world to visit the doctor who has the largest clinical base of patients in bio-identical hormone supplementation therapy and has now treated well over 10,000 patients. Dr. Chein has appeared on numerous national television and radio shows. He has also appeared in a number of national publications, including Newsweek, Gentlemen’s Quarterly, Marie Claire, People, and Der Spiegel magazine in Germany.
Dr. Chein was the first doctor in the United States to use growth hormone on adults clinically (not for research), and to advocate the balance of all bio-identical hormones that affect aging. In 1996, he founded the American Academy of Longevity Medicine so physicians and scientists could pursue and exchange ideas and information regarding this new specialty.
Dr. Chein holds patents for his discoveries in longevity and anti-aging procedures in the United States, the British Commonwealth, and the People’s Republic of China.
