Thanks Igor. The above does work and produces the correct result. The
query speed, however, is pretty slow ~ 75 seconds. So, I created
indexes on intervals.name, geo.max_age, and geo.min_age, and that
brought the query time to ~ 11 seconds. Still too slow.

Indexes on geo.max_age and min_age are unlikely to help with this query (use EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN to see which indexes are actually used). An index on intervals.age_bottom might. So would an index on intervals.age_top (but not both at the same time).
