IV Nutrition Therapy During the Holidays

Our bodies are designed to function optimally as long as they receive adequate amounts of vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients. Unfortunately, many of us fail to get enough of the proper nutrients our bodies need for a variety of reasons. Whether it’s malnutrition or poor gut health, in the end we develop uncomfortable symptoms that could lead to serious health problems. 

 

How do we get the nutrients our bodies need? Even if we start eating nutrient rich foods, a leaky gut may be stopping us from actually absorbing them.

 

Enter: IV nutrition therapy. 

 

What is IV Nutrition Therapy?

IV therapy is designed to deliver these key substances to your body in a way that’s faster and easier to absorb. That way you can get back to feeling your best.

 

Even if you’re not suffering from a serious health condition or major uncomfortable symptoms, our range of IV therapy “cocktails” have a variety of applications and benefits.

 

You can expect more energy, a boosted immune system, and even relief from anxiety thanks to IV therapy from Five Journeys. 

 

But what about needles? How do I set up an appointment? How does all of this work?

 

IV therapy is safe for the body to use, as we’re simply delivering substances that your body already needs and uses. Our highly trained staff will guide you through every step of the process and make you feel comfortable during your appointment.

IV Nutrition Therapy for the Holidays

The holiday season isn’t always “merry and bright.” Rich food, late night parties, gloomy weather, and stressful schedules may leave us feeling depleted and feeling sluggish. Here are ways that IV nutrition therapy can benefit you specifically during this time of year.

 

1. Immune boost to avoid illness.

‘Tis the season for holiday cheer and… the cough and flu? Unfortunately, illness tends to run rampant during this time of year. With our immunity boost IV therapy, you can feel energetic now and be protected from illnesses to come. 

 

2. Relief from late night parties.

Let’s be honest, we all love to kick back and enjoy special holiday drinks this time of year. But if one drink becomes too many, you may end up with a nasty hangover the next day. You certainly don’t have time for that with everything going on! Good news is, we provide IV therapy to relieve hangovers. Next time, let’s be more mindful of the holiday drinks. 

 

3. Hydration after all that ham.

We all love indulging in the delicious holiday foods we can’t seem to get enough of. It’s easy to get dehydrated thanks to an abundance of salt. Plus, indoor heating is a sneaky way our bodies get sapped of water. Come in for an easy IV appointment to boost hydration and revitalize your body.

 

4. Relieve seasonal depression and anxiety.

With dark weather outside and the stress of the holiday season, many of us struggle with elevated depression and anxiety during this time. We have a special IV with calming and energizing effects to relieve the symptoms of anxiety. Functional medicine doctors consider mental health when treating any patient, so we can also provide guidance if you need further intervention for your mental health. 

 

5. Energy boost while you feel “blah.”

Even if you’re doing all the “right” things but still feel crummy, visit Five Journeys for an overall energy boost. That way you can get work done, be present with your family, and prepare for the upcoming holidays.

 

IV Nutrition Therapy from Five Journeys

The doctors at Five Journeys want you to feel your best during the holiday season—and every other time of the year. We do that by providing IV nutrition therapy in addition to a buffet of other functional medicine services.

If you’re ready to get to the bottom of your health conditions once and for all, don’t wait any longer. Schedule your complimentary consultation or call 617-934-6400.
