Getting intravenous or IV drips of vitamins, minerals, and fat-burning supplements is a fantastic way to enhance or kick-start your weight loss while following a diet and exercise plan.
IV therapy bypasses the digestive system to deposit nutrients directly into your bloodstream. Eating food and taking vitamin and mineral supplements only allows 15 to 25 percent of nutrients to be absorbed by the body because everything must be first broken down in the gut. IV therapy lets 100 percent of the vitamins and minerals enter the body through a shortcut, for an extra-potent nutritional boost.
At The Med Spot, you will be given a full assessment including blood analysis to determine what your body needs to reverse your weight gain and promote your weight loss. The IV drip you receive will be specially formulated to rev up your metabolism and your fat loss through a concentrated blend of essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and lipotropic (fat-burning) substances in a hydrating saline base.
Saline
The saline in our IV drips is identical to the saline that you would receive in the hospital for dehydration. This fluid has the appropriate balance of sodium chloride and water for your body’s peak functioning. Hydrating in this ultra-efficient manner helps fat elimination, decreases appetite, and reduces fluid retention.
Vitamin B12
B12 is an essential vitamin for a healthy metabolism. It increases energy, decreases fatigue, and converts carbohydrates into the glucose that your body and your brain both need to function. When you have sub-optimal levels of Vitamin B12, your metabolism is slower, you burn fewer calories, and your body works to conserve your fat stores. Low B12 can even hinder your circulation and respiration, which interferes with exercising—a key component of a healthy lifestyle and effective weight loss efforts.
Lipotropic Substances
IV therapy combines lipotropic (fat-burning) substances like inositol, choline, and methionine, which optimize metabolic processes and reduce fat deposits. These substances promote burning fat for energy, which boosts your metabolism and preserves your muscle mass as you lose weight. Inositol is needed for transporting fat through the body, and it works more efficiently in conjunction with choline, which prevents fatty acids from being deposited. Methionine assists the liver as it processes fatty acids, and it also stimulates detoxification.
IV therapy can boost your weight loss efforts in a number of ways, including:
IV therapy for weight loss is excellent support for diet and exercise efforts, but it can’t produce weight loss on its own. However, there are times when your diet and exercise efforts may stall out. Perhaps you’ve run out of energy. IV therapy can reinvigorate and remotivate you. Or perhaps you’re following a weight loss program to a T, but you’ve hit a plateau. IV therapy can restart your fat burn.
Beginning your weight loss efforts with IV therapy is even better, as you will be giving your metabolism and entire body the healthy support it needs every step of the way. Also, you will be able to reach your goals faster, with less frustration, and with better levels of energy and wellbeing.
There is no better place to receive IV therapy for weight loss than The Med Spot. This five-star medical practice is led by Dr. Michelle Reyes, whose scrupulous attention to detail will ensure that your IV therapy will promote not only weight loss, but also health. Having a medical doctor oversee your therapy is ideal so that your vitals and bloodwork can be regularly monitored, and so the IV treatment itself will follow hospital standards of safety.
The Med Spot also provides other weight management services, starting with a blood test and one-on-one consultation to create a customized treatment plan. If you want nutritional counseling, Dr. Michelle Reyes’ balanced approach focuses on weight loss, energy, and health. Weight loss is not a success if it isn’t healthy, or if you look good but don’t feel good. The Med Spot will help you to succeed both inside and out.
Other tools The Med Spot uses for weight loss include journaling and weekly dietary counseling. This allows your treatment team to understand what works best for your unique body and lifestyle, and to make adjustments and suggestions as needed. Dr. Michelle Reyes can also support your weight loss efforts through other therapies. In addition to IV therapy, The Med Spot offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, HCG injections, and more, depending upon what you require to achieve your personal goals.
