Dan’s journey to become a founder of BHRC started in the 1990’s, when he noticed his health gradually deteriorating, along with an increase in body fat and a reduction in the quality of his immune system response. After extensive testing, he found that his hormone levels were significantly reduced. The longtime fitness enthusiast felt shocked by these results.
After extensive research, Holtz found that there were no clinics specifically designed to treat his decline in hormones. In an effort to help others like him, Holtz conceived the idea that would become the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center. Since then, Dan has dedicated himself to helping those like him get back to their old lifestyles through hormone therapy treatments, in order to live life as their best self.

Sandra knows firsthand the challenges associated with living with obesity. She has lived two lives: one as a morbidly obese woman for 15 years.
