The anti-aging industry is worth almost $10-billion a year. People want to live forever, and they want to look good while doing it. But how much of it actually works? And is any of it harmful?
Health law professor, writer and debunker-extraordinaire Timothy Caulfield, investigates the increasingly controversial procedures and diets in modern-day society.
As well as this, the series explores revived ancient therapies that are being sought by those who are desperate to dramatically alter their bodies, or radically improve their health.
The programme also gives an insight into the booming industries which are more than happy to accept the business of those wanting to drastically change their appearance.
Timothy dives deep into the science and social issues surrounding today's demanding health trends in order to distinguish between the genuinely beneficial advice, and the excess of high-priced placebos.
