I was living in a state of constant burnout and lack of energy. No matter how healthy I ate, nothing seemed to make a difference. There weren’t enough hours in the day to exercise. Or enough coffee to keep me running.
The sad part is, I was only 29.
I was too young to feel like an old lady.
My back against the wall, I scheduled an appointment with a mobile IV therapist. I wasn’t overly optimistic. Goodness knows I had spent enough on supplements already.
I’m not exaggerating when I say the results were nearly immediate. It was like having a dose of life delivered to my front door.
And maybe it was.
The experience inspired me to make a career change. I’m now a licensed mobile IV therapist myself.
If you are like I was, in search of a way to make it through the day, keep reading for a closer look at what mobile IV therapy is and how it can be incorporated into your regular self-care routine.
What Is Mobile IV Therapy?
Mobile IV therapy is a trending wellness treatment in which intravenous fluids are used to restore electrolytes, introduce key vitamins/minerals, and ensure adequate hydration at a cellular level. Administered directly at your home, office, hotel, or any other convenient venue, it is a top option in modern on-the-go wellness regimens.
Benefits of Mobile IV Therapy
There are myriad benefits associated with mobile IV therapy. From rapid hydration to seamless integration into busy schedules, here are some reasons to consider it as part of a holistic health program.
Rapid Hydration
Arguably, the top benefit of mobile IV therapy is its potential for rapid hydration. By introducing key fluids and electrolytes directly to the bloodstream, IV hydration therapy bypasses the lengthy digestion process required of oral hydration. While results vary from patient to patient, many (like me) report being able to feel the replenishing effects within minutes of treatment. This makes it an ideal solution for anyone recovering from a strenuous workout, planning a busy day in the hot sun, or simply wanting to stay ahead of hydration before a busy work day.
Immunity Boost
IV treatment has deep roots in immunity enhancement. For example, the iconic Myers cocktail uses a mixture of vitamin C, magnesium, B-complex, and other vitamins to help patients fortify their immune systems. However, this is not the only option. Simply discuss your goals for vitamin therapy with your licensed provider, and they will help you arrive at the ideal IV cocktail to help you meet your immunity goals.
Energy Enhancement
There is also great potential to use IV vitamin infusions to provide an energy boost. Vitamins such as taurine, glutathione, and B-complex are known for their utility in facilitating energy production. This type of cocktail is a great option for anyone in need of a pick-me-up amid the grind of a demanding schedule.
Recovery
Mobile IV therapy offers many types of recovery benefits. Whether you are experiencing jet lag, a hangover, or simply exhaustion from a hectic life, IV therapy can help you skip the unsavoury symptoms associated with these conditions to feel your best when your peers are running on empty. In the words of Vanessa Cabrera of Las Vegas Mobile IV Therapy: “IV therapy isn’t just for when you’re sick — it’s about keeping your body running at its best, especially in a fast-paced city like Vegas.”
Closely associated with recovery is detoxification. The evils of processed convenience foods are fairly widely known. They contain many additives that lead to inflammation, digestive trouble, irritability, headaches, and related conditions. When enough is enough, it may be time for a detox. The trouble with most detoxification regimens is that while they are effective at filtering the bad from the body, they are equally restrictive of the good coming in.
By using IV therapy as part of a detoxification program, you can guarantee that your body is getting the important vitamins and minerals it needs to function at its best during the cleansing period.
Does IV Therapy Replace Vitamins and Nutrition?
It is important to remember that IV therapy and electrolyte replacement should be considered part of a holistic health regimen. It is not meant to be used in place of a healthy diet or serve as a cure for any specific condition.
With that said, when used as part of a comprehensive health program, it can have compound benefits that greatly enhance normal diet and exercise. The efficient absorption of nutrients can lead to just-in-time wellness that is hard to achieve with orally consumed vitamins that take longer to digest.
