At Everest Regenerative Medicine, healing goes far beyond the prescription pad. Instead, they bring patients cutting-edge regenerative therapies and a deeply personalized approach to care. The clinic is the vision of two medical professionals whose careers have been shaped by open-mindedness, personal experience, and a shared belief that the body—given the right tools—can often heal itself.

CMO Dr. Arden Beachy and Physician Assistant Crystal Amundson’s professional paths may differ in years and experiences, but both believe in integrating traditional medicine with innovative alternatives to provide patients with options, relief, and renewed hope.

A Journey Sparked by Experience: Dr. Arden Beachy

Beachy didn’t enter regenerative medicine overnight. With more than 24 years in the medical field, his path began in primary care, where he often found himself listening to patients talk about “outside-the-box” therapies they had tried— acupuncture, hyperbaric oxygen, micro-needling, and even lesser-known treatments like Rife machines. At first, he simply listened curiously, but after suffering his own injuries—a ruptured Achilles, a torn ACL, two herniated discs, and lingering post-operative pain—Dr. Beachy found himself seeking out the same alternatives.

“I became a believer because it was affecting me,” he said.

That shift led him deeper into therapies like acupuncture, dry needling, myofascial release, and chiropractic care—modalities he had once regarded with skepticism. As his interest grew, so did his education. Conferences, research, and collaboration opened his eyes to ozone therapy, red light therapy, and platelet-rich plasma. He saw real results—first in himself, then in his patients.

“I thought there should be a provider who understands primary care well, but is also open enough to listen to patients who want to try other therapies,” he said. “We need more clinics where patients feel heard, not just handed a script. That’s kind of where I got the idea for this clinic.”

Eventually, this mindset led to the creation of Everest—a clinic rooted in regenerative medicine, sprinkled with aesthetics, and supported by a functional, integrative philosophy.

Healing Through Curiosity: Crystal Amundson, PA-C

Crystal Amundson’s path into medicine was shaped by resilience. As a college athlete at Concordia College, she suffered six concussions while playing basketball. Determined to stay on the court, she dove into research and explored therapies like acupuncture and chiropractic care. There was no miracle drug, no instant fix—just the will to keep playing and the creativity to try everything

Her interest in hyperbaric oxygen therapy began soon after college, and she pursued it through her thesis while in PA school. But even then, she noticed something was missing from her education.

“In school, every treatment plan was either medication or surgery,” she said. “Our nutrition class was one day. There was almost no discussion about how food, vitamins, or nontraditional therapies could influence health.”

That disconnect lit a fire in her. After finishing PA school, she connected with Dr. Beachy and joined him in building Everest. Together, they immersed themselves in new therapies—ozone, red light, and regenerative injections.

A Clinic That Reflects Its Founders

While both bring unique experiences and perspectives, Beachy and Amundson share a deep belief in holistic, collaborative medicine. Their clinic offers a full suite of services for hair and body composition, orthopedics, aesthetics and functional therapies

Some patients come seeking nontraditional care. Others need a bridge between conventional treatments and alternative approaches. Everest meets them all with openness and respect.

“There are three types of patients,” Beachy said. “Those who only want traditional care, those who want only alternative care, and those in between—people like me—who see value in both. We built Everest for that third group.”

Beyond the Clinic

While medicine is central to their lives, Beachy and Amundson are more than their credentials.

Amundson is a proud dog mom to two golden retrievers and spends as much time outdoors with them as possible. She enjoys hiking, slowpitch softball (her team took third at McQuade this summer), and traveling with her boyfriend.

Beachy, meanwhile enjoys spending time with his wife, traveling, water sports, motorcycling, aviation— though his busy schedule has kept him grounded for now. He has a passion for coaching, particularly football, and regularly volunteers his time helping quarterbacks and receivers for his son’s High school team. “If they ask me to throw routes, I’m outside in the backyard,” he said with a smile. “That’s one of my favorite things to do.”

A True Team Effort

No feature on Everest would be complete without acknowledging the rest of the team. Front desk lead Tabby Flowers and office manager Barb Hooten are essential to the clinic.

“We always want people to know— it’s a team effort,” Beachy said. “We’re trying to build a culture where our staff enjoys coming to work, and our patients feel seen, heard, and supported.”
