• At the dawn of the 21st Century, our wellness and longevity should be viewed far differently than it has been in the past. It is now clear that the aging process is not an uncontrollable inevitability.
• Exciting progress has been made in the science of gerontology and age-management over the past decade.  These advances focus on the state of our wellness, the functional processes of our body, and the deteriorating effect of aging on our body at the cellular level. When we combine the new information with the recent advancements in medicine, we gain access to a powerful preventive and reparative mechanism to enhance our wellness and longevity.
• The Clinic for Total Body Wellness and Longevity is dedicated to providing you with cutting-edge knowledge in the field of preventive medicine focusing on age-related degenerative process, while exposing the myths of misleading anti-aging commercialism.
• Attempting to achieve wellness through a disease-based model of medicine has not shown much progress in slowing down our body's aging process.  This model includes sanitation, vaccination and early detection through regular check-ups, medical and surgical care. Our own natural cell-mediated defense and healing power has only recently become a focus of attention. 

CURRENT KNOWLEDGE

The Clinic for Total Body Wellness and Longevity focuses on preventing unpleasant, debilitating and disabling conditions associated with aging.  We are among the leaders of a movement that encourages the total body wellness and fitness. We recognize lower thresholds of testing for prevention than does traditional medicine.

The Clinic's multi-disciplined preventive approach consists of nutritional, pharmacologic, physical and mind-body management. We tailor a program to your individual needs, which would be backed up with regular follow-ups and program adjustments to achieve the most desirable results possible.

In the Clinic, the issue of being overweight is addressed effectively as the cornerstone of age management.  Comprehensive Hormone Replacement may slow down the aging process of our body.  Enhancing the body's cell-mediated defense is one of the main objectives of the clinic.  In addition, measurement of bone mass and bone loss may allow a more accurate assessment of our bone density.  This helps prevent osteoporosis, a serious deforming and disabling consequence of aging.  As we age, the cartilages in our joints undergo a process of "wear and tear" known as Osteoarthritis. However, nutritional and physical considerations  are available that can slow down this process.

If you are interested in the enhancement of your wellness and would like to gain or remain at your best vigor and agility as you age, you are invited to register for a complimentary introductory seminar at the Clinic for Total Body Wellness & Longevity presented by Hormoz Zahiri, M.D., M.S., fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.  Dr. Zahiri has over 30 years of practice and teaching experience in the fields of orthopedics and sports medicine and, more recently, in the field of age management. 

The goal of the Clinic is to help you achieve and maintain  your optimum level of fitness, agility and wellness as you age.

For more information about the Clinic, or to arrange an appointment for a complimentary evening seminar, please call (310) 659-9270 between 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
