IV nutrient therapy

By Mimi Vanderhaven

For people struggling with fatigue, jet lag, viral illness and other health conditions, IV therapy represents an easy way to deliver to the body the nutrients it needs to become well again.

For high-intensity athletes, IV therapy increases energy and improves performance.

And for those who simply wish to slow the hands of time, IV therapy provides the body with the vitamins, minerals and nutrients to fight the aging process.

“IV therapy provides the high levels of nutrients that vitamins taken orally can’t possibly provide,” explains Susan Kiss, a certified nurse practitioner with Revive Regenerative Medical Spa.

“IV nutrients go directly into the bloodstream in a safe, unaltered form that is very well tolerated. Patients often report feeling better just a few hours after the therapy is complete.”

Most people have their blood tested to uncover any deficiencies prior to starting therapy so treatment can be customized. People choose from Revive’s extensive menu of IV therapy options geared toward things like supporting the immune system, providing relaxation, reducing stress, boosting energy and more.

Treatment takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes and is painless. Susan is the professional who administers all IV therapy treatments in collaboration with medical director Dr. John Kocka.

“Because we are a true medical spa, we try to keep the medical focus in play,” she explains.

“We’re focused on helping our patients achieve optimal health and wellness—inside and out.”
