Frequently Asked Questions

  • Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and hydration directly into the bloodstream for fast absorption and noticeable results. It can support energy, immunity, detoxification, recovery, and overall wellness. Many patients choose IV therapy for improved vitality, healthy aging, and routine wellness maintenance.

  • Nutrient (vitamin) infusions may support overall wellness by delivering hydration, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream for fast absorption. Potential benefits may include:

    • Increased energy and mental clarity

    • Improved immune support

    • Enhanced hydration

    • Reduced fatigue

    • Support during illness or recovery

    • Anti-aging + skin health benefits

    • General wellness optimization

    Every body is different; results and experience may vary from person to person. A consultation with a certified provider can help determine which infusion best aligns with your wellness goals.

  • Many patients feel more energized and clear-headed within hours, but results vary. Some notice immediate effects, while others experience gradual improvement over 24–72 hours depending on their individual needs and the type of infusion.

  • After an IV infusion, supporting your body helps you get the most out of your treatment. We generally recommend:

    • Drink plenty of water throughout the day

    • Limit alcohol temporarily to allow your liver to process and recover efficiently

    • Listen to your body. Mild detox-like symptoms can occur as your system balances

    • If bowels feel sluggish, increasing Vitamin C or magnesium may help promote regularity

    • If stools are loose, avoid anti-diarrheal medication unless instructed by your provider

  • IV nutrient therapy is generally considered safe when administered by trained medical professionals in a sterile environment. At VitalityMD, all infusions are overseen by certified providers to ensure your comfort and safety throughout your treatment.

    As with any medical procedure, some considerations include:

    • Mild discomfort, bruising, or redness at the IV site

    • Rare allergic reactions

    • Fluid overload in susceptible individuals

    • Vitamin imbalance if not properly dosed

    Safety depends on individual factors such as:

    • Your health status and medical history

    • The type and dosage of nutrients being infused

    • Any current medications or underlying conditions

    Before treatment, your provider will review your history to determine if IV therapy is appropriate for you. Always notify your provider of any allergies, medications, or symptoms during treatment.

  • Most insurance providers do not cover IV vitamin or nutrient infusions at this time, as they are considered elective wellness treatments.

    However, many patients find infusions valuable for energy support, immune health, recovery, and overall well-being. We offer consultations to help determine which therapy best aligns with your goals.

  • As we age, our hormone levels naturally decline. Hormones play a key role in regulating mood, energy, sleep, metabolism, sexual wellness, and overall vitality, so fluctuations can lead to noticeable physical and emotional changes.

    Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) works by restoring balance within the body, helping alleviate symptoms associated with hormone depletion. Many individuals seek HRT to improve energy, enhance mood, boost libido, support sleep, and reduce symptoms related to hormonal imbalance.

    During your visit, a simple lab evaluation is performed to assess your hormone levels. Your provider will then create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your wellness needs and goals.

  • Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is considered safe for most patients when monitored by a qualified medical professional with routine labs and follow-ups. As with any medical treatment, there can be risks and side effects, so it’s important to work closely with your provider before beginning therapy.

    HRT may be especially beneficial for women experiencing perimenopause or menopause symptoms — such as hot flashes, mood changes, low libido, fatigue, or sleep disruption. Research suggests the best outcomes often occur when therapy begins before age 60 or within 10 years of menopause.*

    HRT can help:

    • Reduce perimenopausal & menopausal symptoms

    • Improve energy, mood, and sexual function

    • Support bone health and help prevent osteoporosis

    • Restore hormonal balance for overall well-being

    Your provider will perform a simple blood test, review symptoms, and create a personalized plan tailored to your needs.

  • Women naturally transition through phases of hormonal change over time. Each stage can affect mood, energy, cycle regularity, and overall well-being differently.

    1. Premenopause
    Normal reproductive years when menstrual cycles are regular and hormones are balanced.

    2. Perimenopause
    The transition phase leading up to menopause (often between ages 35–50). Hormone levels fluctuate, and symptoms such as hot flashes, mood changes, irregular periods, low libido, sleep issues, and fatigue commonly appear. This stage can last 2–10 years.

    3. Menopause
    Defined as 12 months without a menstrual cycle.
    Estrogen and progesterone significantly decline, periods stop, and symptoms may intensify or become more noticeable.

    4. Post-Menopause
    The stage after menopause. Symptoms may continue or change, and long-term hormonal decline may increase the risk of bone loss, fatigue, low libido, vaginal dryness, and mood changes.

    Understanding which stage you're in can help guide treatment options such as HRT. A simple hormone evaluation and consult can help determine your stage and create a plan tailored to your symptoms and goals.

  • Most insurance plans do not routinely cover Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) unless it is deemed medically necessary. Coverage varies by provider and may require documentation, bloodwork, and physician evaluation.

    If insurance does not cover treatment, affordable options are available through certified compounding pharmacies, allowing patients to continue therapy at a manageable cost.

    To determine your coverage and best path forward, schedule an HRT consultation with Dr. Rosanna Perez today. She will review your symptoms, lab results, and treatment options to help create a plan that aligns with your needs.

  • During your initial consultation, our provider will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms and goals, and evaluate any relevant lab work. You’ll receive a personalized wellness plan tailored to your needs, along with guidance on recommended treatments and next steps.
