Regardless of whether people like to think about it, it is inevitable that everyone eventually dies. While that ultimate fate cannot be avoided, people can do things to help extend their lives and, to use the show's terminology, "cheat death." In this series, health law professor Timothy Caulfield provides viewers with health tips that can help their longevity. He explores methods, products, regimens and treatments that tout their health benefits -- there are a lot of them in the nearly $10 billion anti-aging industry -- and tests them to see which ones actually live up to their lofty claims. Topics include detoxing, personalized medicine and extreme dieting.
