Why IV Therapy?

Look, we get it. The field of medicine always has something new it wants to sell you. A new diet, a new pill, a new machine, a new procedure. We were skeptical, too, when we first heard about IV Therapy. But we started researching, and learned more about how high doses of nutrients delivered straight to your blood can have amazing affects on your body. And then we experienced first hand how IV therapy helps your body heal when you are really, really sick. We were amazed, and quickly became passionate about all the ways IV therapy could benefit our health.

Many of us struggle with fatigue, weak immune systems, long recovery from illnesses, and the stress and busyness of life. Even when we try to eat healthy and get enough sleep, sometimes our bodies just don’t function the way we want them to. Our bodies function well when they have all the tools needed to do their jobs, and sometimes our bodies simply aren’t getting enough vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes.

Even when we try to eat really well, sometimes our gut isn’t absorbing the nutrients in our food, because our gut health is struggling, or because the right factors aren’t in place. Vitamin D needs vitamin K in order to absorb properly in our gut. Calcium and Iron don’t do well together because they compete for the same absorption pathways. And a hundred other absorption complexities. Even in optimal conditions of absorption, sometimes we simply aren’t eating, drinking, or supplementing with enough vitamins and minerals. So our bodies have poor health.

Or sometimes we are getting adequate vitamins, but when we get sick, our body could recover much faster with high doses of vitamins in our blood. Vitamin C simply doesn’t absorb well in our gut in large doses. Dr. Myers, who created the famous IV therapy Myers Cocktail, said “you can’t drug your way to good health,” and we completely agree. We believe that our bodies were created to function well. But then a host of factors cause problems and diseases. And while we can’t fix genetics, gut health, or chronic inflammation with IV therapy, we can certainly help you on your journey toward good health.

Vitamins have a durable impact on their targets cells and organelles. Some cynics argue that IV therapy is pointless and a waste of money, because your body can’t store water-soluble vitamins and electrolytes the same way it can hang onto fat-soluble vitamins. While it’s true that we can’t “build up” stores of water-soluble vitamins, our bodies and cellular functioning benefit greatly from them while inside our bodies, and those benefits have wonderful and positive long term affects. It’s the same idea (but with the opposite outcome) of how a toxin works; toxins may have long term affects on your body, cells, and cellular function, long after the actual substance has left your body.

Take Vitamin C, for example. It has jobs to do. Think of it like a paid housekeeper; it rearranges the furniture, does the laundry, and deep cleans the bathroom. Those tasks aren’t undone just because the housekeeper goes home. Vitamin C helps build collagen, cleans up free radicals, supercharges your white blood cells to fight infection, assists in producing some hormones and neurotransmitters, creates a hostile environment for cancer cells, and the list goes on. It’s an amazing housekeeper. Vitamins all have housekeeping roles, and different vitamins have different jobs. When a vitamin gets inside a cell, it performs it’s enhancing value, and that enhanced value carries on as long as that cell is alive.

So this is where we’ve discovered how wonderful IV vitamin therapy is. It’s not gimmicky; it’s not just something fancy rich people throw money at. We use a bag of sterile IV fluids containing electrolytes, and we add a variety of vitamins and minerals, depending on your needs. We can even add medications, if necessary. Our nurse will come to you, perform an assessment, create a telehealth meeting with our physician, and then carefully and safely (with the smallest needle possible) start your IV. The vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes enter your bloodstream and are delivered to all of your cells. It’s almost like magic, except it’s science.

If you happen to get super sick, consider our IV services. Not just because we want to sell you the newest fad. But because we are passionate about helping people. Our white blood cells do their job of killing germs really well when they have all the tools they need. We know what it’s like to get sick, take a bunch of extra vitamins by mouth, and not really notice a huge improvement. That’s because our guts can only absorb so much at a time. But when you can deliver a huge dose of nutrients straight to your blood, all at once, through an IV, it’s a very different scenario.

We can’t promise that IV therapy will fix all of your health problems. But we can give your body a boost in the right direction. We are so excited to be a part of a new wave of healthcare, focusing on building up and improving your health as a method of preventing disease. Old models of healthcare often waited for you to get sick, and then focused on treating the disease. Instead of focusing on disease treatment, we want to focus on building health. We want to help give your body what it needs in order for you to live your best life.
