Immune support
IV Therapy has great benefits in enhancing the immune and optimizing nutrient and vitamin levels. Treating an array of hydration and vitamin deficiencies IV therapies can restore the body with nutrients to regain homeostasis.
Many of our patients utilize IV’s to stay hydrated before, during and after sporting events. They experience restored energy, improved sleep and an overall feeling of calmness. In addition to the immediate impact of IV therapy the residual benefits include improved recovery and a boost in the immune system.
We offer a full spectrum of individually designed IV therapies addressing hydration, immune, energy, cognition, weight control, and general well-being. IV’s utilizing anti-oxidants, vitamins, and nutrients are very effective in regulating the body’s ability to function at it’s peak performance.
Travel with confidence
Our patients visit us pre and post travel receiving a customized IV formulation which is orchestrated to provide protection against viruses and bacteria by enhancing the immune system. These proprietary IV therapies enhance the body’s ability to stage of the onset of sickness and disease.

Cognition, focus and reflexes
Peptides are amino acids specifically designated to direct very specific cellular responses. Research has shown that certain peptides such as SS31, MOTS-C and NAD+ have been helpful in patients needing assistance with neurologic disorders such as MS, Lyme’s Disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and various other conditions. Stimulating mitochondrial responses these peptides are at the core of true cellular regeneration.
Muscular and neurological problems — such as muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, hearing loss, trouble with balance and coordination, seizures, and learning deficits — are common features of mitochondrial disease because muscle cells and nerve cells have especially high energy needs.
Addressing Parkinson’s
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive age-related degenerative disease with the loss of dopaminergic neurons (DA neurons), leading to progressive motor impairment including akinesia, bradykinesia, hypokinesia, postural instability, rigidity, stooped posture, and tremor at rest, which commonly present along with gait impairment. Furthermore, various non-motor symptoms are also involved including hyposmia, constipation, depression, appetite and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder. DA replacement therapy is widely used to improve the motor impairment, while long-term application can lead to various complications and cannot cure the disease.
It is widely accepted that PD is often associated with a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms, suggesting that dysfunction of the brain-gut axis might be involved in its occurrence. For this reason, a link between brain-gut peptides and the central nervous system (CNS) has been considered. Numerous studies have demonstrated that many brain-gut peptides have neuroprotective effects, improving the motor impairment in PD. The mechanisms of their neuroprotective effects may be related to anti-inflammation, anti-oxidative stress, anti-apoptosis, neurotrophic action, and autophagy.
GLP-1, a 30-amino-acid peptide hormone, is the transcription product of a pro-glucagon gene. Distributed in central and peripheral regions, it can freely cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) by diffusion. The GLP-1 receptor is widely expressed not only in the pancreas, but in most regions of the brain as well as other organs, such as in the kidney, heart, lung, intestine, and stomach. GLP-1 has a variety of biological functions, including inhibition of gastric emptying and intestinal peristalsis, stimulation of insulin secretion, inhibition of glucagon secretion, reduction of appetite and food intake, weight reduction, and protection against β cell apoptosis. In addition to the effects on the digestive system, it has been suggested that GLP-1 has protective effects on the cardiovascular system and takes part in the regulation of bone turnover. Moreover, neuroprotective effects of GLP-1 have also been demonstrated.
Mitochondrial pathways of disease
Disruption of normal mitochondrial function is detrimental to cell viability. Neurons are particularly dependent on mitochondria for calcium buffering and ATP production and, therefore, are highly susceptible to mitochondrial defects. Utilizing peptide therapies to restore them to therapeutic levels.
