Next Age Spas …the new wellness centers

The most scientifically aggressive Next Age clinic is the California Health & Longevity  Institute, Westlake Village CA,  which opened in December. CHLI pairs a 270-room Four Seasons hotel and spa with a high-tech medical facility on a 20-acre property in Westlake Village, northwest of Los Angeles.  California Health & Longevity Institute’s has a comprehensive Executive Health Program that integrates evidenced-based medicine with expert counseling in nutrition, fitness and lifestyle change. This integration of disciplines is unique in the health industry and designed to assist you in making immediate and key lifestyle adjustments to improve your health.

Imagine a facility that is proactive that combines the best of Eastern and Western Medicine.  A medical evaluation at California Health & Longevity Institute, Inc. is so much more than a traditional doctor visit. Their mission is to enable guests to obtain the maximum benefit from the healthcare advances available today.

The programs are designed around a foundation made up of the following pillars:

Proactive vs. Reactive Healthcare: Optimal health is not merely the absence of disease. California Health & Longevity Institute, Inc. follows a pro-active model of medicine, focused on preventing illness, incorporating the latest discoveries in preventive health science from Western Medicine as well as Eastern philosophies.

Evidence Based: All diagnostic and therapeutic measures of California Health & Longevity Institute, Inc. are supported by the most current medical literature.

State-of-the-Art: At California Health & Longevity Institute, Inc. we pride ourselves on having the most advanced imaging technology by GE. In addition, we do comprehensive in-depth on-site lab analysis utilizing the most advanced diagnostics from LabCorp.

Adaptability: We are committed to staying ahead of the curve. If evidence changes or as technology evolves, we will adapt and incorporate these new advances.

Privacy: We are HIPAA compliant in all aspects of our healthcare programs. Guests’ privacy is protected in our structural design with individual waiting areas and medical suites.

CHLI uses a wide range of preventive tests and imaging technology to figure out just how fast an individual’s life clock is ticking. These include such exotic diagnostics as C-Reactive Protein and DNA testing, sleep telemetry, electronic "Bod Pod" fat analyses, and 24-hour blood-pressure monitors. These are not regular  sessions: guests spend several hours with the attending staff, which includes specialists in dental reconstruction, acupuncture, women’s health, dermatology, and medical anthropology. These augment services typical of those found at destination spas like: consultations with nutritionists and exercise physiologists, workshops on healthy living, or even unconventional treatments such as biofeedback and hypnotherapy.

Spa services are provided by the Spa at the Four Seasons which is adjacent to the property.  The spa is an oasis of serenity. Its white marble interiors, accented with semi-precious stones, cover over 40,000 square feet. In the main lounge, California sunshine spills from a skylight and dances off a waterfall. A Chinese bridge leads to separate men’s and ladies’ lounges, overlooking a unique water feature graced with orchids.

A holistic menu of treatments and therapies blends Asian traditions with modern Western sensibilities. Twenty-eight treatment rooms, all opening onto private outdoor gardens, epitomize the ultimate in pampering.
