Our state-of-the-art clinic is pioneered by Naturopathic Physician Dr. Doug Cutler.

You’ll feel better faster. More health, less stress. That’s how life should be!

Who Can Benefit From IV Therapy?

Athletes/Peak Performers

Benefits include increased strength and boosts in performance, along with reduced fatigue and shorter recovery times.

Executives/High-Stress Lifestyle

IV Therapy uses anti-oxidants to fight stress-induced illness and conditions, combating the effects of prolonged cortisol elevation. This is designed to keep successful executives at peak performance.

Anti-Aging

Even if you eat well, your body might not be absorbing the vitamins and minerals it needs to fight the aging process. IV therapy boosts the anti-oxidant vitamin and mineral levels in your body to help your body repair damage, prevent aging, and recover its youthful vigor!

Detoxification

The objective of detoxification is to remove toxic metals and environmental toxicants from the body and restore the proper functioning of the autonomic nervous system and the organs affected by it. Detoxification is done in phases over time to protect the body and allow rest and healing. To learn more about detoxification, click here

Memory/Brain Function

IV/IM Nutritional Therapy uses a powerful anti-oxidant found predominantly in the brain and liver. It is often used for memory enhancement and improves dementia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, neuropathy, and liver disease.

Weight Loss

IV/IM Therapy ensures that your caloric restrictions do not negatively impact your health, giving you all the necessary nutrients to feel alert, nourished, and losing fat, not muscle tissue.

PMS/Menopause

IV/IM Nutritional Therapy, when used for PMS and menopause, helps control mood swings, irritability, insomnia, depression, cramps, etc.

Fatigue & Insomnia

Poor nutrition, chronic stress, improper sleeping patterns, and lack of physical activity all contribute to fatigue and inadequate sleep. IV/IM Nutritional Therapy will balance the body so restful sleep can happen.

Seasonal Cold & Flu/Allergies

Your immune system is on constant guard to protect against viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. IV/IM Nutritional Therapy can help enhance your immune system to prevent illness in the first place.

What are the Positive Benefits of IV Therapy?

Some allergic reactions only show up as mild skin irritation. Some are life-threatening and severe, like anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening emergency that can trigger a shock in the body. Food and insect sting allergies are capable of triggering anaphylaxis. The signs of an anaphylactic reaction include swelling of the mouth or throat, drop in blood pressure, loss of consciousness, skin rash, difficulty breathing, lightheadedness, nausea, or vomiting.

What Should I Expect in an IV Session?

First of all, there is very little pain involved. The needle typically used is a tiny 24 gauge. When the needle is withdrawn, a soft catheter remains in place for the remainder of the treatment. The infusion is more comfortable than an ordinary blood draw. Depending on the infusion, you may experience the local warmth and either an increase in energy or a relaxation effect. An improved sense of calm and well-being accompanies many infusions, especially vitamin C or magnesium infusions. And many people report subsequently improved sleep. The length of treatment depends on the nutrient mix and concentration being infused. Plan at least one hour for most formulas. “Drips,” like High Dose Vitamin C, may take up to four hours.

We have a dedicated infusion room that is relaxing and peaceful. You may read, watch TV, listen to music, or take a nap. Although you will be sitting most of the time, you may get up and use the restroom if necessary. It is best to eat before having an IV infusion as some infusions affect blood sugar. If you have diabetes, you should monitor your insulin dosage and bring snacks with you to your appointment.

Please come well hydrated and let our staff know if you have any allergies.
