From Deepak Chopra to Dr. Aubrey de Grey, this six-part documentary series looks at the world's leading anti-aging treatments, authorities and discoveries.

Can diet, exercise, or vitamins significantly reduce or even impact our body's 'real age'? What about meditation, Ayurvedic practices or herbal remedies? Taking Back the Years, which airs February 3rd at 10pm on VisionTV, is a provocative journey through the world's most interesting and potent approaches to fighting aging and the famed scientists, doctors, researchers, and practitioners behind them.
"From Deepak Chopra to Dr. Audrey de Grey, never before have so many and such diverse treatments for aging been available," explains Hilary Pryor, Producer, Taking Back the Years. "Much more than a look at the ongoing human compulsion to fight aging, Taking Back The Years is an exploration of two seemingly opposing cultures East vs. West - when it comes to lifestyle and general attitudes to health."
Taking Back the Years begins at an Ayurvedic centre in Kerala, South India where Rajendra Patel undertakes the rigorous, 4000 year old practice of Kayakalpa. Meanwhile in the West, Canadian filmmaker Hilary Pryor, the same age as Mr. Patel, undergoes the latest discoveries in Western medicine in her own 90-day age fighting regime. Through these two seemingly opposite journeys, the world's most noted anti-aging experts showcase a provocative range of beliefs, which include the following:
