Dr. Ryan Arnold is the founder of CLAVA Health, an integrative and functional 
medicine practice that focuses on preventative medicine, longevity, and finding the 
root cause of illness so patients are empowered to change the trajectory of their 
health span. 

After 25 years of treating patients in the emergency room, Dr. Arnold came to 
understand that doctors are not trained in the prevention of chronic disease and 
health crises, only to respond to symptoms after disease has already taken hold. 

Not content to work within a broken system, in 2019, he founded Longevity 
Innovations to practice preventative and integrative medicine. In 2022, Dr. Arnold 
opened CLAVA Health in Thousand Oaks, expanding into Santa Barbara with CLAVA 
Health Longevity Lab in 2023. His mission is to develop a comprehensive and 
personalized strategy for every patient, to integrate physical, mental, and emotional 
wellness, and unlock the secrets to longevity and quality of life.
