As we turn the page to another new year, you may be thinking more and more about how to improve your health and overall wellness. Thankfully, there are plenty of options to consider, including a better diet and a consistent exercise routine. But one health craze that continues to gain steam for its versatility and ease of use is IV therapy.
IV therapy is no longer strictly for hospital and long-term care settings. It is widely found in wellness spas such as Live Young Wellness Spa in Flower Mound and Castle Hills, and it is consistently being lauded for its ability to help people with everything from weight loss and athletic performance to boosting their immune system, fighting the war against aging, or simply stepping in as a much-needed pick-me-up.
Maintaining our health is important in this day and age. Here are seven ways IV therapy can help you meet those goals.
-
Boost your immune system
Your immune system helps your body fight infections and diseases. When it’s working as it should, you feel like you’re on top of the world. When it isn’t, you want to crawl under a blanket and stay there all day. Many people also don’t realize that their immune system doesn’t continue to work the same as it did when they were younger. IV therapy refuels your immune system by directly delivering medicine, electrolytes, pain medication, nutrients, vitamins (Vitamin C, B-Complex Vitamins, Glutathione, etc.), and other fluids to the bloodstream.
Doing so promotes faster absorption and healthy immune function. While it is impossible to prevent getting the cold or flu, a stronger immune system helps minimize your risk of exposure and shorten your illness’ duration.

Continue the fight against aging
There are countless anti-aging treatments and services. IV therapy is the perfect complement because of its ability to keep your skin, hair, and nails healthy and strong year-round. Here are some additional benefits:
- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles
- Brighten skin and improve blemishes
- Slow the aging process
- Protect against damaging free radicals
- Alleviate joint and bone pain
- Improve heart health
-
Enhance overall wellness
Believe it or not, IV therapy also helps with anxiety, fatigue, and low energy. It can also combat depression, enhance mental clarity and cognitive function, reduce migraine and allergy symptoms, improve muscle and tissue strength, and accelerate wound healing. The list goes on and on, to be honest.
-
Weight loss
IV therapy does more than just increase energy levels. It also gives your metabolism a much-needed pick-me-up. And as we all know, a healthy, strong, and fast-moving metabolism leads to weight loss. Granted, IV therapy cannot be used as a substitute for regular exercise and a healthy diet. But it can definitely make weight loss faster and easier when used in conjunction with healthier habits.
-
Cure hangovers
Hangovers after a long night of celebrating with friends and family are the worst. While drinking lots of water the morning after can help, sometimes it’s simply not enough. IV therapy includes fluids, vitamin blends, and either anti-inflammatory drugs or anti-nausea drugs that are absorbed directly into your bloodstream to provide rapid relief.
-
Athletic performance and recovery
Serious athletes and even the most dedicated weekend warriors rely on IV therapy to help boost athletic performance and recovery. This includes B vitamins to maintain energy levels and zinc to ensure you don’t fall ill while training. Below are just a few more reasons why athletes of all ages can benefit from IV therapy:
- Faster recovery
- Endurance booster
- Supported muscle recovery
- Rapid hydration
- Maintain healthy tissue and muscle
-
Nutritional deficiencies
Many of us walk around every day with inadequate nutrition, whether because of poor diet or chronic imbalances in our bodies. IV therapy immediately injects vitamins, nutrients, and other feel-good fluids into the bloodstream to help combat any known or unknown deficiencies you may have.
With IV therapy, our professionals at Live Young Wellness Spa insert a needle into your vein. The needle is connected to a drip mechanism and IV bag. The IV contents are in the bag and quickly travel through a tube and into your vein. Many clients repeat their IV therapy once a week for continued benefits.
When administered properly, there is no risk, and the procedure is relatively painless.
