Your gut refers to the parts of the digestive system that help with nutrition, digestion, immunity, and metabolism. It includes your esophagus, stomach, and intestines, breaking down your food for nutrition.
However, it's easy to throw your gut health out of whack if you must be careful and take care of yourself. When your gut health suffers, you don't reap the benefits of heightened immunity and increased metabolism – but IV therapy can help.
At Ageless Regenerative Medical, Dr. Nicholas Sieveking, MD and Jan Stanley, RN, MS, offer IV nutritional therapy for various issues, including problems with your gut. Rejuvenating your body may be as simple as a visit to our office and a quick IV therapy session for lasting results.
Your gut is an essential aspect of your health; it extracts nutrients from the food and drink you consume and provides your entire body with the energy it needs. The gut is very complex, which makes it difficult to maintain sometimes.
Gut health begins with the microbiome in the large and small intestines. Trillions of microbes live in the GI tract, distributing nutrients throughout the body.
The microbiome in your gut is an essential aspect of your overall health. When it's not working correctly, you may experience symptoms such as:
All these symptoms are associated with irritable bowel syndrome, a red flag regarding your gut health. These symptoms could signal that your gut health isn't at its best.
The good bacteria in your gut helps you keep GI symptoms from popping up and ensures the rest of your body gets the nutrients and vitamins it needs to function correctly. Don't worry; there are ways to enhance your gut health, including IV therapy.
IV therapy is traditionally a treatment you receive in the hospital or doctor's office when you need fluids or medications. However, it's now a much more versatile treatment doctors utilize for various issues, including GI tract dysfunction.
Taking supplements or eating something with beneficial bacteria has to pass through the entire GI tract. Many nutrients are lost through the stomach and intestines before they get to your bloodstream and to various areas of the body.
IV therapy allows us to bypass the GI tract to get your body the essential nutrients and vitamins it requires to function correctly. Some nutrients IV therapy delivers into your bloodstream include magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin C, and calcium.
A significant benefit of IV therapy is that we can customize the nutrients in the infusion to address specific health issues, including poor gut health.
IV therapy is quick and efficient and comes with very few side effects or complications. It's a safe and easy way to give your body the nutrients it needs to function optimally.
When you're living with GI issues or problems with your gut health, you don't have many options. Oral supplements are only one of the best options since the GI tract eliminates most nutrients before they enter the bloodstream.
Medications often come with unwanted side effects and may not be necessary with more holistic and natural treatments. IV therapy is an excellent option to improve gut health without the undesirable side effects of other treatments.
The IV therapy route is safe and only requires a small needle stick to insert the catheter into your vein. Once in place, we formulate fluids, nutrients, and vitamins your gut requires to work correctly.
IV infusions for gut health take about 30 minutes but may take up to an hour depending on your health and what's in the injection. The main benefit of IV therapy for gut health is getting the nutrients into your body without getting lost in the GI tract.
The nutrients in the IV treatment begin working immediately, improving digestion and other aspects of your gut health. Your GI tract should function more efficiently, which enhances the immune system, reduces inflammation, and promotes overall health and well-being.
IV therapy is a quick and efficient treatment to improve many conditions, including poor gut health. It may also increase energy, boost immunity, and even help you lose weight.
