Johann-van-BeestJohann van Beest, D.C., M.B.A. is the Executive Director of the Southwest Age Intervention Institute, which offers a concierge-style Age Management Program.

Age Intervention Medicine is a paradigm shift. Rather than conventional medicine’s focus on symptoms and disease, Southwest Age Intervention Institute (SAII) uses a
more integrated functional approach that evaluates and balances important aspects of your overall health to allow you to live longer, happier and healthier.

Hormone optimization is used to restore healthy endocrine levels similar to those
experienced in our late 20s or early 30s. Regaining and maintaining metabolic
and endocrine functions at the upper end of the normal range provides the best
opportunity for a healthier and more vigorous life. It is this approach that allows
Southwest Age Intervention Institute to help our clients reach their health goals.

Hormonal evaluation and appropriate hormone replacement therapy, with a
conscientious program of lifestyle management, can set a course to vitality,
improved sleep, an enhanced libido and sexual function, improved cognitive ability,
an enhanced immune system, and improved skin tone and facial appearance.

Our Program focuses on the “Total You” through a combination of exercise, proper
nutrition, appropriate nutritional supplements and hormone rebalancing for men
and women.
