You’re tired of feeling tired and of not knowing quite why. You try to get your recommended 7-9 hours of sleep. You manage to work in your 150 minutes of exercise per week. You do try to eat as healthily as possible.
But your get-up-and-go got up and went. And you’re too tired to figure out why. What’s going on?
Your body comprises trillions of cells — about 28 trillion for women and 36 trillion for men. Inside each one of those cells is an organelle called a mitochondrion, which evolved from an ancient form of bacteria. Mitochondria convert the nutrients in the foods you eat into energy and store it in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
As you age, or if you’re overly stressed, this process of energy conversion in the mitochondria becomes inefficient. You feel the inefficiency through symptoms such as ongoing fatigue or brain fog.
Our medical experts — Kelly Burrows, APRN FNP-C, and Lee Ann Garza, FNP — believe that a well body starts with healthy cells. At Enrich Family Practice, we offer intravenous (IV) infusion therapy to optimize and energize your cells – and you – at our office in Odessa, Texas.
How can IV infusions resolve your chronic fatigue? Here’s why you might choose IV infusions as part of your monthly wellness routine.
Intravenous hydration doesn’t just quench your cells’ need for water. It also provides essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to give your mitochondria the ingredients they need to create the energy you crave.
One of the key components we include in an IV infusion to alleviate chronic fatigue is an antioxidant called glutathione. Glutathione is an essential ingredient that your mitochondria need to produce ATP.
We may also add B vitamins to your infusion. Except for folate, your cells require all of the B vitamins to produce adequate energy.
Your mitochondria can’t function without glutathione. Poorly functioning mitochondria cause oxidative stress, which raises your risk for severe health conditions and diseases, including:
Glutathione chaperones the essential mineral iron into your mitochondria. It also monitors iron levels so that they don’t get too high and cause more oxidative stress.
The B vitamins have been a part of IV infusion cocktails since the very first one — the Meyer’s Cocktail — was introduced in the 1970s. The various forms of vitamin B help your cells transform nutrients into energy and optimize your health:
We determine which B vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to include in your IV infusion.
An IV infusion is an easy, relaxing way to supply your body with the glutathione, B vitamins, and other nutrients it needs to keep your cells healthy and your mitochondria producing energy. The nutrients in your IV cocktail bypass your gastrointestinal system and go straight into your bloodstream, where they rush to mitochondria throughout your body.
Most infusions take about an hour. While you recline comfortably in a treatment chair, we disinfect your arm and insert a needle that’s hooked up to your customized infusion.
While the infusion energizes your cells, you can take it easy. Read, listen to music with your ear buds, watch a film, or nap.
You probably feel the effects of your treatment even during the process. Your body is hydrated and energized. After your treatment’s over, you’re ready to face the stresses of the world, with better functioning mitochondria and a steady supply of energy. We recommend monthly treatments to keep your cells healthy and energized.
