IV
HYDRATION
WHAT IS IV HYDRATION?
IV hydration is the infusion of fluids, vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream through IV access. It is used to relieve symptoms of common ailments such as hangovers, headaches, food poisoning, morning sickness, and lack of energy. It can also be used to boost the immune system, enhance sexual desire, increase metabolism and weight loss, as well as many other things.
WHY NOT JUST TAKE VITAMINS BY MOUTH?
Vitamins taken by mouth are not bad, however not all vitamins are created equally and bioavailable. Just because you take a vitamin, doesn’t mean that vitamin is actually absorbed into the bloodstream and able to be utilized by the body for basic functions. The amount of vitamin actually absorbed can be as little as 15% depending on vitamin quality, gut health, and other factors. That means that 85% of that vitamin can be lost! IV therapy bypasses the gut, and 100% reaches the bloodstream, making it more available for the body to use.

FUNCTIONAL
MEDICINE FOR WOMEN
WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?
Functional medicine is a form of medicine that approaches health by evaluating and identifying the root cause of disease and walking alongside each individual in the journey to reverse disease. With a functional medicine approach, each symptom manifestation is affected by an individual’s environment, genetic makeup, lifestyle, and nutritional intake. One set of symptoms in one person may have one root cause, while the same symptom in another may have a totally different root cause. Functional medicine appreciates the interconnectedness of the body and the innate wisdom it has to accommodate to its surroundings as well as the unique need for intervention in each individual. Here at The Women’s Wellness Center of Tampa, we are committed to helping women find long-lasting, vibrant, optimal health with functional medicine principles.
IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE RIGHT FOR YOU?
Most people have never heard of functional medicine, but at the same time, most people are having symptoms on a daily basis that either can’t be diagnosed specifically or they have become accustomed to it and now identify it as normal. Functional medicine is vastly different from a conventional medicine approach. In functional medicine, there are no
“band-aids” per se. Medications are not prescribed to hide the symptom. With that being said, the functional medicine approach requires that all aspects of an individual’s life be evaluated to determine if it encourages health or disease and deciding what needs to be maximized, minimized,
and prioritized in an individual’s life.
