Ward
Dean, MD
Dr. Ward Dean graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1967. As an infantry officer, he graduated from the U.S. Army Airborne and Ranger schools, and later the Korean Ranger School. He served as an instructor at the U.S. Army Mountain Ranger School in north Georgia, and was an advisor to the Vietnamese Rangers on the Cambodian border.
Upon graduating from Han Yang University College of Medicine in Seoul, Korea, he returned to active duty in the Army and trained at the Letterman Army Medical Center in San Francisco. He then attended both the U.S. Army and Navy Flight Surgeon courses, and the U.S. Navy and Canadian Diving Medical Officers Courses.
Dr. Dean spent seven years as an Army Flight Surgeon and Diving Medical Officer, including three years as a member of the Delta Force.
Dr. Dean was a Naval Flight Surgeon for 6 years in Pensacola, Florida, where he retired as a commander in 1996. During private practice between and after military stints, Dr. Dean pioneered and practiced the now burgeoning field of anti-aging and life extension.
A world-renowned expert in the anti-aging and life extension, Dr. Dean has served on the Board of Directors of the American Aging Association and the founding Board of Directors of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), and was the first vice president of A4M. Dr. Dean organized A4M’s first scientific program in Cancun, Mexico, as well as the first two Monte Carlo Anti-Aging Conferences in Monaco. He has written extensively on the biology of aging and has authored or co-authored a number of books, including Biological Aging |

Measurement – Clinical Applications, Smart Drugs & Nutrients, Smart Drugs II: The Next Generation, The Neuroendocrine Theory of Aging and Degenerative Disease, and GHB: The Natural Mood Enhancer. Dr. Dean has been Medical Editor of Vitamin Research News and Director of Research and Development for Vitamin Research Products since 1996. During this time, he focused on the development of innovative nutritional and pharmacological protocols designed to delay aging and ameliorate age-related diseases. These protocols employ a number of anti-aging drugs and supplements including Metformin, cognitive enhancing drugs and nutrients, the use of receptor sensitizers and crosslinkage inhibitors, as well as recommendations for the proper use and timing of hormone replacement therapy.
Dr. Dean has also spearheaded the development of means to measure the physiological and biochemical effects of aging, as described in his book, Biological Aging Measurement, a compendium of aging measurement systems developed by researchers around the world. The book was (and still is) the most comprehensive compilation of biomarkers and aging measurement systems ever published.
