Madrid, Spain – Spanish television producer Josep María Mainat, 80, is facing scrutiny after reportedly spending approximately 200,000 euros on a thorough anti-aging program. The regimen includes testosterone and growth hormone injections, alongside a strict diet, exercise, cold water immersion, and nutritional supplements.
Mainat claims the program has considerably improved his physical condition and aims to extend his lifespan to 120 years, ideally while maintaining a youthful appearance. However, medical professionals are voicing concerns, citing potential health risks associated with the intensive hormone therapy.
In Spain,growth hormone is restricted to treatment of specific medical conditions or approved clinical trials. Intensive testosterone treatments also carry documented health risks. Doctors warn of potential side effects including cardiovascular issues, blood sugar imbalances, fluid retention, and a possible increased risk of certain cancers.
Experts suggest a healthy lifestyle-incorporating exercise, proper nutrition, and adequate rest-offers a more sustainable and less risky approach to healthy aging.
Mainat’s current pursuit of rejuvenation comes years after a highly publicized 2020 incident in which his then-wife, Ángela Dobrowolski, attempted to poison him with insulin. Investigations suggested the motive was financial gain. Mainat survived after receiving medical attention.
Despite the trauma, mainat has publicly stated he harbors no ill will towards his former wife, attributing her actions to severe drug use. However, the incident continues to shape public perception.
the combination of Mainat’s enterprising anti-aging efforts and his past legal troubles raises questions about whether his hormone treatment represents a genuine path to longevity or a possibly perilous experiment with his health.
