Known in the UK as one of the presenters of C4’s Embarrassing Bodies, Dr. Christian Jessen examines another factor in the health care equation in this one-off: the relationship between wealth and health. Whether it’s hanging out in an ice chamber,eating a diet of stale bread at a high-priced clinic or, perhaps on the more moderate end of the spectrum, undergoing DNA testing, Jessen puts his cred (and his credit card) on the line by investigating whether the bizarre and pricey methods just might work, or if they are mere financial flights of fancy.
