About Aviv
We live in an era when simply extending lifespan is no longer the goal. Today, many people focus on "healthspan" meaning the number of years they feel healthy, stay active, and enjoy the vitality of both mind and body. Since 2017, this has been at the heart of our work in Aviv.
Aviv Clinics delivers a highly effective personalized protocol to enhance performance in the aging brain and body via the Aviv Medical Program.
Our unique, intensive Program aims to improve the aging process by increasing cognitive and physical performance in healthy aging adults. Based on over a decade of research and development the Aviv Medical Program is individually tailored to you, helping you achieve new standards of performance by your brain and body.
Proven methods backed by more than a decade of research
The Aviv Medical Program was developed by the Aviv team and Dr. Shai Efrati, Director of the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research at the Shamir Medical Center, one of Israel’s leading teaching hospitals. Over 200,000 hyperbaric sessions have been conducted there to date. Dr. Efrati has treated over 2,000 clients with the Aviv protocol. The vast majority have seen a marked improvement in their brain and body performance after treatment.
Oxygen in the spotlight
Research into the revitalizing powers of oxygen has been in the spotlight recently.
In October 2019, the Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to three researchers for their discovery of how living cells sense and react to changes in oxygen levels.
Today, we understand that our body senses fluctuations in oxygen, and that rejuvenation processes can actually be triggered by these oxygen fluctuations.
This is one of the main principles behind the Aviv medical protocol.
