Intravenous (IV) therapy can be used for individuals seeking overall general wellness—whether it’s an infusion of energy, a healthier immune system, anti-aging, detoxification or other similar benefit. IV therapy is believed to be both reliable and restorative.

Nutrient, or, vitamin infusions have health optimization benefits that may include increased energy, improve immunity, elevate hydration, reduce symptoms of fatigue due to an acute or chronic illness, and more…

Effectiveness of nutrient infusions may vary by the individual. Schedule an appointment with your certified provider to determine which infusions may be right for you.

Results vary, but many patients experience noticeable effects relatively quickly, with some people feeling an immediate boost in energy and mood shortly after the infusion, sometimes within hours.

However, the exact timeframe for when you'll feel the effects can vary based on individual factors and the specific nutrients being administered. Some people may notice significant changes within a few hours, while others may require a few days to experience the full benefits. 

After an IV therapy, it isusally a good idea to:

• Avoid alcohol for a while to allow your liver to recover from toxin load from your cells

• Drink lots of water to flush things out

• If you have diarrhea like symptoms, do not take anti-diarrheal but let the body dispose of as much poo as it needs to

• If you have constipation type symptoms, take high dose oral vitamin C and magnesium which can cause loose motion (a good thing here).

• Ask your provider for more helpful tips and tell them if you are experiencing any side effects.

IV nutrient/vitamin infusions are generally safe when administered by a qualified healthcare professional in a sterile environment.

However, there are some potential risks and considerations to keep in mind:

• Infection at the IV site, Blood clots, Allergic reactions, Fluid overload, and Vitamin toxicity

Considerations:

• The safety of IV vitamin infusions depends on the specific vitamins being infused, the dosage, and the individual patient's health status

• Some vitamins may interact with medications or have other potential side effects

• There is limited scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of IV vitamin infusions for most health conditions

Your health insurance will not cover the IV Nutrition/Vitamin infusions provided by VitalityMD.

As we age, many things about our bodies change. One of the things that changes, is our hormones. Hormones help to determine how tall you grow and how you handle stress and, of course, they also regulate the functioning of your sex organs.

The normal aging process causes hormone production to decline in everyone, resulting in hormonal imbalances that have both physical and psychological effects.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) restores the balance of hormones in your body and helps you to feel better and relieve symptoms caused by the depletion of these hormones.

Your provider will take a simple blood test to measure your hormone levels and develop an individual plan that is right for you.

Yes, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is safe when followed by a medical professional and routine labs. As with all medications, risks and side effects may occur. Consult your physician before starting any hormone replacement therapy program.

For women, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is generally more beneficial if started before age 60 or within 10 years of menopause.*

HRT can relieve perimenopausal and menopause symptoms, improve sexual function and can help prevent osteoporosis.

Weigh benefits and risks with your healthcare provider.

Hormone Stages

For women, this hormonal change is broken up into different stages:

• Premenopause refers to the time from a woman’s first regular menstrual to her last regular menstrual cycle. This is the period of “normal” reproductive function for a woman.

• Perimenopause is the next stage. This refers to the “transitional” stage, which varies from 2 to about 10 years, prior to complete cessation of menstruation. This is usually experienced by women 35 to 50 years of age. During this stage, a woman can experience major hormone fluctuations which can cause typical symptoms, such as hot flashes.

• Menopause is the third stage and marks the natural end of a woman’s reproductive cycle. It is at this point that the body’s ability to produce estrogen and progesterone naturally decreases substantially. The ovaries stop producing eggs and a woman is no longer able to become pregnant naturally.

• Postmenopause is the period of life after menopause. This phase is generally believed to begin after 12 full months have passed since the last menstrual period.

  As a woman passes through each of these four stages, she will go through many physical and psychological changes as her own body’s ability to maintain proper hormonal balance diminishes.

Some insurances may cover hormone replacement therapy. This will require a consult with a medical professional to determine the medical necessity of HRT treatment.

If your health insurance does not cover HRT therapy, other options are available through certified compounding pharmacies.
