If you look on the back of any package, you’ll see percentages that tell you how much of your daily requirement of certain vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients the food meets. Unfortunately, those percentages aren’t adding up for many Americans who have transitioned to processed foods that are long on calories and short on good nutrition.
While getting the right nutrients under normal circumstances is tricky enough, there are times when you can use a boost for your health, wellness, and performance.
Whether you need to meet nutrient requirements or you can use a boost, intravenous (IV) nutrient infusions are the perfect solution, and we offer them here at HealthFirst. Dr. Jonathan Singer focuses his practice on holistic therapies that work with your body. And a key part of this effort are IV nutrient infusions that provide your body with the resources it needs to optimize your health.
While we feel that most everyone can benefit from IV nutrient infusions, here are a few examples of when these infusions can really make a difference.
Your immune system is your primary defense, and it needs key nutrients to help protect you against disease, infection, and illness.
Sadly, approximately 27% of the daily caloric intake among Americans consists of energy-rich (think carbohydrates and sugars), nutrient-poor foods. What this means for your immune system is that it might not be getting the key micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) it needs to keep you in good health.
Through our IV infusions, we can deliver these micronutrients to boost your immune health.
American adults get about 2-4 colds each year while kids get 6-8, and there are an estimated 9.3 million to 41 million cases of the flu each year. A helpful way to weather and shorten these illnesses is to come see us for an IV infusion. By delivering key nutrients, such as vitamin C and B vitamins, we can get you back to good health faster.
In 2022, there were 1.9 million new cancer diagnoses, which is about average for the United States. When you have cancer, the disease itself can rob you of nutrients, to say nothing of the effects of chemotherapy and radiation.
Many of our patients who have cancer come see us regularly for IV nutrient infusions that can replenish their resources.
We’ve been discussing using IV nutrients to address health issues, but the infusions can also boost performance in athletes. After testing your blood and reviewing your goals, we can customize a formulation that promotes muscle health, recovery, and endurance.
Whether you have a condition like chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia or you’re just overly stressed and feeling run down, IV nutrient infusions can go a long way toward providing you with more energy.
If you’d like to see for yourself how IV nutrient infusions can play an invaluable role in your overall health and wellness, we invite you to contact one of our offices in Greenwood Village, Colorado, or Cheyenne, Wyoming, to schedule an appointment.
