MB, MD, ABAARM, ABAM, Dip Aesthetic Med (USA), NASM-PES, NASM-CES, CSN (USA)

 

Arthur Tjandra, the founder of the only anti-aging portal in Singapore: ANTI-AGEING.SG, is double Board-Certified (American Board) in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, and Aesthetic Medicine. He is also a board member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. Arthur Tjandra is amongst the only 3 Board-Certified Anti-Aging Medicine Physicians in Singapore, and the only one in Indonesia. Besides building up his anti-aging medicine and cosmetic surgery practice in Medan, Indonesia, he continues to travel to Singapore on a monthly basis where he is attached as a visiting fellow at the Institute of Plastic Surgery Singapore, as well as The Heal Medical Group. Arthur Tjandra is also one of the teaching faculty of the American Board of Anti-Aging and Renegerative Medicine graduate clinical training course in Asia.

 

Arthur Tjandra has trained with some of the world-renowned plastic and oculoplastic surgeons, amongst them are Prof. Fong Poh Him (Singapore), Dr. Pierre Fournier (France) and Dr. Allen Putterman (USA). Arthur Tjandra has also gone through internal medicine residency at the Singapore General Hospital, training in various subspecialties in medicine, upon which his anti-aging medicine practice is built. Upon obtaining board certifications in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, and Aesthetic Medicine, he continued to complete a 2-year fellowship program in facial and body cosmetic surgery at the Institute of Plastic Surgery Singapore. He is probably the ONLY anti-aging medicine physician in the world who has trained in internal medicine, anti-aging medicine, sports medicine, aesthetic medicine and cosmetic surgery! Currently, Arthur Tjandra continues to return to United States at least once to twice a year to enrol in various advanced fellowship and preceptorship programs with the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery.

 

Arthur Tjandra is a keen sports enthusiast. Besides sports medicine, Arthur Tjandra is also knowledgeable in sports nutrition. He has been credentialed by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (USA) as a Performance Enhancement Specialist, Corrective Exercise Specialist, as well as a Certified Sports Nutritionist.

 

Having been overweight at one point of time, Arthur Tjandra transformed his own body in 2004, experimenting with various methods of diets and since then has worked with many others to help them achieve the same. Utilizing the knowledge he obtained while training to be a Performance Enhancement Specialist and Sports Nutritionist, he specializes in working with those who suffer from obesity as well as underweight clients who wish to pack on a few more pounds of lean body mass. He also devises various signature anti-aging exercise programs, and has helped many elderly clients to regain their youth and vitality. He proves that it is possible to halt and even reverse the aging process by a combination of healthy diet, exercise, dietary and nutritional supplements, and hormone replacement therapy. Arthur Tjandra could hardly run 100 m without stopping prior to 2004. Currently, he competes regularly in duathlons, triathlons, half-marathons and marathons.

 

 

 

Arthur Tjandra has special interest in the field of aging and aging-related illnesses. He believes in prevention and early intervention. Having worked in almost all medical sub-specialties (internal medicine, renal medicine, cardiology, gastroenterology, medical oncology, hematology, psychiatry, neurology, respiratory and critical care medicine, endocrinology, emergency medicine, geriatric medicine and rehabilitation medicine), he believes in a holistic approach in the management of his patients in the practice of anti-aging medicine. He applies what is often a complex combination of medical specialties -- endocrinology, neurology, cardiology, nutrition, exercise science, psychiatry, sexuality, life changing behavior techniques, spirituality -- and others depending on each individual patient's needs and interests.

 

During his stints in three intensive care units (cardiac, medical and neurology) and caring for the critically ill, Arthur Tjandra observed numerous unnecessary deaths and diseases as a result of unhealthy "modern" lifestyle. Arthur Tjandra also observed that a lot of focus has been placed on the treatment of diseases but little has been done to educate the public on preventive medicine. He decided, thus, to set up a free information portal for the public, ANTI-AGEING.SG, which he funded himself.

 

Arthur Tjandra has handpicked a select group of renowned medical professionals who are experienced in the management of ageing-related diseases as well as experts in their respective sub-specialties, to contribute review articles to ANTI-AGEING.SG.
