Vitamin Therapy IV: Pros and Cons

Katie Griffen • March 20, 2023

Here are a few things to consider before getting your first drip!

Pros of IV Hydration
  • The hydration you receive through IV can be much more complete and effective than just drinking water or a sports drink. This, in turn, can lead you to be better prepared for a variety of athletic or physical activities.
  • IV hydration can be a great way to recover if you are sick or hungover.
  • You can order a variety of custom products that suit your needs, depending on whether or not you are looking to amp up your performance for a big game, prepare to climb a mountain, or just get over the stomach flu.
  • Trained experts can help you determine what hydration solutions can best fit your needs.
  • IV hydration can give you a great competitive edge before a big event.
Cons of IV Hydration
  • Needles are obviously involved, and for people with a fear of needles, this can be uncomfortable and awkward, to put it politely!
  • While the price won’t bankrupt you and is well worth it, IV hydration can be expensive, and it is certainly more expensive than just drinking as much water as possible.
  • You have to make sure that any IV hydration therapist and business is properly trained and certified in getting you the therapy you need.
  • Unless it is done for medical reasons, the procedure is usually not covered by insurance.
  • While the odds of this happening are very low, there is always a chance to have some sort of negative reaction or complication from the therapy. Fortunately, trained professionals and appropriate intake can dramatically reduce these odds.

6 Tips for when your kiddos are sick

By Kathryn Faraj • December 17, 2023
Here are my top 6 tips for sick season with kiddos: 1. ๐ŸŒž Get outside , no matter what the weather is. In the hospital we give you an incentive spirometer to help prevent pneumonia. This is designed to expand your lungs since you are sitting in a bed most of the day. But the BEST way to expand lungs is to GET UP AND MOVE. Going outside and moving helps open those lungs up, get a small dose of vitamin D (which boosts the immune system), and gets us out of the stale toxic air inside our homes in the winter. 2.๐Ÿ’ฆ Humidifier in their bedroom as close to their bed as possible. This helps moisten the nasal passages when we are surrounded by dry air in the winter time. With the size of kids noses and airways (tiny), the dry air can make it even harder to breath than an adult with adult anatomy. Our nasal passages are supposed to be moist to trap bacteria and viruses and can really dry out in the winter. On top of this, even when the kids aren’t sick, the dry air can make it hard to sleep at night, putting more pressure out their immune system. 3.๐Ÿงด Kid safe essential oils . I see an extremely noticeable difference when I use essential oils right under my kids’ nose right before bed. I personally use sniffle ease by young living. 4.๐Ÿ’Š Good quality multivitamin - should include a probiotic and vitamin D. Here is a link to my favorites. Cheap vitamins usually do not have a good bio available form of certain vitamins (meaning your body wont absorb it well), so high quality vitamins are essential. 5.๐Ÿญ Stay off sweets. I know this is probably the hardest one. But bacteria love sugar AND it is extremely inflammatory. When you see your kiddo coming down with something it’s important to limit sugar intake so their immune system doesn’t take an additional hit. 6. ๐Ÿคง Don’t forget kids are supposed to get sick . This may be the most important. Kids are developing immune systems. Keep their immune systems strong with the above advice. And when they do get sick remember we don’t get stronger without exercise. Kids are supposed to get sick at this time in their life to ultimately strengthen and prime their immune system. What are some of your stay healthy tips? Share them with us!
