IV Therapy for Weight Loss

June 9, 2022 by DrLouis Leave a Comment

Although vitamin IV therapy is a safe and effective way to lose weight, it should not be used as a short-cut weight loss plan.

Vitamin IV Therapy treatment is only meant to supplement your current diet and exercise habits, not replace them. If you are considering using vitamin IVs as part of your plan to drop pounds without making any changes in your lifestyle or eating habits, you may want to reconsider. I will tell you the benefits of IV Therapy for weight loss in this blog.

IV Therapy

Vitamin IV Therapy can help you lose weight in a number of ways: it helps boost metabolism, increase energy levels and reduce cravings for unhealthy foods. However, there are certain things we must consider when discussing the use of this form of treatment for weight loss purposes. For example:

•  Vitamin IV Therapy should never be used as a substitute for healthy eating habits or regular exercise; although these treatments have been proven effective at helping people achieve their goal weight faster than those who do not use them (by about 30%), they will only work if combined with proper nutrition and physical activity. Rather than relying solely on vitamin injections alone when attempting to shed unwanted pounds quickly (which isn’t recommended anyway), try incorporating some basic lifestyle changes into your routine such as eating more fresh fruits & vegetables; drinking lots more water throughout each day; getting plenty restful sleep each night so that you feel rested when waking up every morning ready to start off strong!

Vitamin IV Therapy can help you lose weight in a number of ways, it helps boost metabolism, increase energy levels and reduce cravings for unhealthy foods. However, there are certain things we must consider when discussing the use of this form of treatment for weight loss purposes. For example:

Vitamin IV therapy is also known as Myers cocktail, which was invented by Dr. John Myers in 1933.

Dr. John Myers is considered to be the father of modern-day IV Therapy, so it makes sense that he would have created a much-needed treatment for the flu (which was rampant during the 1930s). Soon after his initial creation, other doctors began to test out different versions of this vitamin cocktail and found that it could also help with tuberculosis and acne.

The treatment is offered in different forms and dosages for a variety of your health and wellness needs.

There are different ways to administer vitamin IV therapy, including:

• Intramuscular (IM) injections. IM is the most common route of administration of vitamin IV therapy. It is administered by a health care professional in your doctor’s office or at a hospital. The process involves injecting the vitamins into your muscle tissue with a needle, usually in your arm or leg.

• Subcutaneous injections (SC). This type of injection uses smaller needles to deliver vitamins under the skin. You can get SC injections at home or while you’re receiving other types of IV therapies like drips and infusions.

This form of treatment allows your body to detoxify itself and promote weight loss allowing you to achieve your goals faster than doing it through traditional methods alone.

There are a lot of different methods out there that claim to help you lose weight. Some people choose to go the traditional route, exercising and eating right. Others try detox diets, which can be very effective but also quite stressful on the body. Still others turn to supplements or vitamin IV therapy in order to shed pounds and feel healthier overall.

It is important that you understand how these different methods work before deciding which one is best for you and your lifestyle. Let's take a look at each option individually so that we can get a better idea of whether or not it's right for us.

One of the main benefits associated with vitamin IV therapy is its ability to help patients lose weight by improving their metabolism and digestive system.

By enhancing the body's fat-burning processes, it effectively helps patients shed unwanted pounds without resorting to dangerous diet pills or surgical options.

In addition to helping people lose weight, this type of treatment also promotes a healthier lifestyle in other ways as well. For example, it can reduce stress levels and improve sleep quality—two things that are essential for maintaining a balanced diet plan while losing weight. In addition, many patients report that they experience clearer skin after receiving an IV drip treatment at a clinic like ours or elsewhere!

When you receive a vitamin IV therapy session, the nutrients go directly into your bloodstream where they are immediately absorbed by your body. The process of intravenous nutrient delivery is completely painless and can be very relaxing.

Vitamin IV therapy has been shown to help with weight loss for a number of reasons:

• It boosts metabolism and energy levels

• It improves sleep quality

• It provides vitamins and minerals that support healthy digestion and elimination

If you are planning to start your weight loss journey do opt for IV therapy and avail the spectacular benefits with Prestige Health and Wellness

10 Myths & Misconceptions on Nutrient IV Therapy Simply Explained

December 22, 2021 by DrLouis Leave a Comment

There’s no shortage of research reporting the experience and effectiveness of IV nutrient  treatment. You’ve probably come across news stories on IV nutrient therapy or reports  on celebrities receiving vitamin B12 injections. However, what may grab the attention of readers isn’t always the whole truth and it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction.  

First, Let’s Define What is IV (Intravenous) Nutrient Treatment:

Simply put, it’s a safe and effective method of supplying the body with ​natural vitamins,  minerals, and amino acids directly through the bloodstream​. Nutrient IVs are similar to those found at your local hospital. These natural nutrient infusions are administered using a small IV (intravenous) injection. This method ensures that all nutrients are absorbed at  the cellular level to enhance your ​energy level, improve your overall mood, and help prevent future health conditions caused by stress, poor nutrition, and dehydration​. While  it is safe and standardized, it is a medicinal practice that is frequently misunderstood and  has developed numerous misconceptions and myths.

Here are the facts to 10 common misconceptions and myths you might have heard of  about nutrient IV treatment: 

Myth #1: Nutrient IV Drips Are Not Safe

FACT: It is as safe as IV’s found at your local hospital, and doctors endorse it. 

It’s simply false to think IV nutrient treatment is an experimental or dangerous medicinal  practice. On the contrary, it’s a very safe and simple process that uses the same quality  ingredients used in hospitals around the world. Like in hospitals, no adverse reactions  occur as a result of administering an IV. In some cases, people experience slight ​cooling of the arm, mineral taste in the mouth​, all of which is normal during the IV process. 

Myth #2: Vitamin IV Therapy Is Too Painful

FACT: Discomfort levels vary from person to person. Liquivida Lounge uses a ​smaller  needle than what’s used in children’s hospitals. 

The entire process is relatively painless for most people. It can be a little painful if you  tend to experience discomfort with needle insertion. But overall, IV nutrition therapy is comfortable and is not toxic to the body. In nearly all cases, once the immediate benefit  of the treatment is felt, minor discomfort is greatly outweighed by the benefits  experienced- both short and long-term. 

Myth #3: It Doesn’t Help Reduce Common Cold Symptoms 

FACT: It can be your preventive measure against the common cold. 

While you can’t always prevent a cold, IV nutrient treatment infused with vitamin C is a  powerful and quick way to combat the symptoms. In fact, ​a comprehensive study published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information​ found that large doses of vitamin C could reduce the duration of cold symptoms. If you don’t want your cold symptoms to last longer than they have to, IV treatment infused with Vitamin C (and  other vitamins) will work wonders when you’re starting to feel sick. Additionally, IV  therapies infused with vitamin C can strengthen the immune system over time and reduce  the chances of getting sick, as ​vitamin C empowers various immune functions. 

Read more about how nutrient IV therapy can help with cold symptoms in our blog titled:  “Boost Your Immune System This Cold Season with IV Nutrient Therapy​.” 

Myth #4: It is less effective than ingesting the various nutrients 

FACT: By the time you start consumption, some foods have lost their nutrients. Additionally, the body can sometimes waste nutrients. 

The traditional approach to getting nutrients into the body is by ingesting them in pills or by eating normally, but it’s not as effective as you might think- even if you eat healthy. Your body’s gastrointestinal tract can sometimes fail to absorb the vitamins and minerals into the bloodstream, turning them into waste. Even when your body’s digestive system is working properly, nutrient rich foods inadvertently lose vitamins and minerals when prepared and cooked a certain way. ​Scientific American reports​ that cooking vegetables lowers the vitamin levels found in them naturally. For instance, ​a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry​ found that vitamin C levels in tomatoes declines by 29 percent when cooked for 30 minutes at 190 degrees F. 

With IV nutrient infusion treatment; however, nutrients in their purest form are delivered  right into the bloodstream, making it the most effective way to reap their benefits completely. Check out the infographic below to understand what happens to food when it passes through the digestive system: 

Myth #5: It Takes a While to Feel the Effects 

FACT: It can take the body anywhere from 12-48 hours to digest solid foods completely. 

IV therapy is an immediate way for you to feel the effects of all the essential nutrients,  compared to when ingested. Once the IV is inserted, the vitamin infusion goes directly into the bloodstream. The body then uses the vitamins to ​perform and facilitate many essential functions​, including regulating metabolism, creating red blood cells, and maintaining the immune system. You may feel the physical effects, such as increased energy, right away depending on your nutritional and hydration levels. In some cases, you may even see better skin complexion and improved mood for subsequent days.  

Aside from using an IV, an injection is another quick and effective way to get the full  effects of vitamins. For instance, many people, especially athletes, often receive B12  injections since it’s another fast way to feel the vitamin’s full benefits​. These can include increased energy levels, increased metabolism, and overall improved mood  among others. 

Myth #6: It Doesn’t Help Improve Quality of Life for People With Chronic Illnesses

FACT: Studies support the benefits of IV infusions with Vitamin C in cancer patients. Living with a chronic illness is never easy. Standard treatments for conditions like cancer often have painful and debilitating side effects. While IV nutrient treatment is not a substitute for these treatments, it is a complementary solution that can help improve the quality of life for people with serious illnesses or even allergies.  

The National Cancer Institute reports​ that breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy who received intravenous (IV) vitamin C had a better quality of life and fewer side effects than those who did not receive it. In addition, fibromyalgia patients report having reduced symptoms due to IV treatment. ​Fibromyalgia Researcher David Katz, MD says​ that about four out of every five people with  fibromyalgia receiving an IV treatment of vitamin B, vitamin C, and other nutrients helps ease their symptoms, including pain and fatigue. While research on the effects of IV nutrient treatment on managing chronic illness must continue, it is very promising for  enhancing quality of life overall. 

Myth #7: It is Not Suited for Active, Healthy Lifestyles 

FACT: Not only can IV therapy be used for many types of health problems, it can mend sore muscles, boost the immune system, help with post-workout muscle recovery, dehydration, chronic fatigue and much more. 

Not all IV nutrient treatments are the same. In fact, there are many types that address specific needs. While some help treat cold symptoms or side effects of chronic illnesses, others can help with more common ailments, such as migraines, exhaustion, stress, and memory loss. Whatever your need may be, IV nutrient treatments can target it by using  specific infusions to alleviate your present condition. By undergoing consistent IV  therapies, conditions can be lessened or completely eliminated. 

Myth #8: It’s Only Needed Once 

FACT: No one eats protein once; other nutrients are no different. You should be consistent with your IV nutrient treatments to empower your lifestyle. 

Some IV nutrient infusions apply to a one-time use, such as after a night out using a hangover fix. However, IV nutrient treatment as a practice is focused on ​maintaining  optimal levels of nutrients in the body. In order to do that effectively, regular administration of IV infusions must occur. As mentioned before, the body may not always get the proper amount of nutrients needed to perform essential physical and mental functions. IV nutrient treatment is a reliable way to ensure that you’re not missing out on  essential nutrients your body craves. You could receive iv infusion therapy every day, but  you should tailor it to your body’s demands. Consistent nutrient IV treatments will ensure  stable (reliable) results in your overall health. 

Myth #9: It Takes Up Too Much Time

FACT: ​Liquivida Lounge​ provides a private and soothing ambiance, so you can relax the mind while you replenish the body.

You may think that IV nutrient treatment could take too long, but the session generally  lasts for 30 to 45 minutes. While making time in your schedule may be difficult, doing an  IV nutrient treatment takes even less time than going to the gym or preparing a meal. It’s  a quick, effective, and relaxing practice to add to a healthy lifestyle or health regime. 

Myth #10: It’s Too Expensive 

FACT: Treating ailments can be more costly than taking preventive measures.

When you hear about celebrities getting IV nutrient therapies and B12 injections, you  probably think it’s expensive and high maintenance. On the contrary, IV nutrient therapies  and vitamin injections are affordable for most budgets since they are most effective when done regularly. It’s always a good idea to ask for special offers or discounts if you intend to make intravenous infusion treatment a regular part of your lifestyle. 

Very often, nutraceutical deficiencies that have been left unchecked for long periods of time are the cause of acute and chronic illnesses. These illnesses have a price, too. Nutrient IV treatment will get your body rebalanced as quickly and efficiently as possible. Although IV nutrient treatments may continue getting attention and making headlines, remember to consider all the facts. Now that you know about the process and benefits of IV nutrient treatments, take advantage of ​these high-perfoming treatments​, and give your body the fuel it needs to function properly.
