Professor Geoffrey Grant believes that food in the commercial venue detrimentally affects human aging, age-related diseases and therefore our existence. Humans in the industrialize world are subject to a multitude of toxic environmental substances, as well as food additives, preservatives and flavor and sensory enhancing ingredients that negatively contribute to our health and well-being. To extend the period of health and wellness the nutritional supplements that we ingest must be free from toxic additives, artificial preservatives and stimulants. We must supplement our diets with a wide variety of micro-nutrients that are normally unavailable in a ‘standard’ diet and ensure that these nutritional supplements are natural organic ingredients uncontaminated by any toxic additives.

His desire is to extend the period of healthy human existence and to translate that improved wellness into a longer life and an ability to function independently with a higher quality of lifestyle. This means the prevention and/or correction of the body’s dysfunctional intracellular signaling and energy metabolism that occurs as humans and animals age.
During the past decade there has been enormous amounts of research conducted in the area of aging and its prevention. Prof. Grant has focused his studies upon the meta analysis of experimental molecular and biochemical events that surround age-related disease states and the commonalities of the declining physiology of cells, organs and tissues.
Dr. Grant has developed and formulated recipes for wellness and a long healthy existence based upon readily available nutritional supplements each of which have been scientifically shown to independently retard the processes of aging. These nutritional supplements have been tested in animals and each has demonstrated the ability to extend the quality of a healthy existence of the treated animals in contrast to parallel controls.

Professor Grant received a Bachelors and Masters degree in Food Technology and Biochemistry from the University of British Columbia, Canada and his doctorate in Cellular Biology at the University of California -San Diego where he was a Regents’ Fellow. His post-doctoral research and, subsequently, an assistant professor faculty position was at the ‘Salk Institute for Biological Studies’ in San Diego California where he conducted research on the biology and chemistry of brain hormones as they relate to body physiology and regulation. In 1977, his mentor, Dr. Roger Guillemin received the Nobel Prize for the group’s discoveries on these brain hormones. Interests. |
