In today’s blog post I want to share one of the ways I am able to stay healthy even with my very stressed and hectic lifestyle. Ok confession… I was running myself down about every three months for the last couple years. I went so hard for months at a time that I just couldn’t keep it up. I was becoming physically sick and emotionally and mentally shot. I was forced to take at least a week off which is time I can’t afford to give up. So I pushed through which left me worse off than if I had just taken a sick week. It wasn’t until I was invited into the IV Wellness Boutique in Yaletown that I even realized that I was creating this bad habit for myself and experiencing some very detrimental effects on my health. The team of Naturopathic Doctors offered me a solution for keeping up with my schedule, finding a healthy balance and bringing some consistency and stability into my life.

There are a number of ways IV vitamin therapy can help you, from improving your energy and mood, reducing anxiety and stress, strengthening immunity, balancing hormones as well as supporting a weight loss program. Every experience is different and customized to the individual. All of the medical professionals are experts at administering vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I really enjoy touching base prior to the treatment, where we talk about my needs and find out where I’m at physically, mentally and emotionally. After our brief medical assessment, a customized mix of vitamins that I may be deficient in is made up to provide that extra boost that my body needs.

When I come into the IV therapy lounge it’s like my home away from home and my time out from life for an hour. The beautiful, serene and calm environment makes me feel instantly at ease and less stressed. This way my body can really absorb all of the healing benefits that the IV Wellness Boutique is known for. I really look forward to my hour every month to sit back and relax knowing that my body is getting the nourishment it needs and the stress relief and energy boost to take on whatever comes my way, including the upcoming cold and flu season.

There are so many benefits of IV therapy that I’m sure your body is needing right now. Let’s see if you can mentally check off any of these common side effects of life…Do you need to decrease stress and anxiety? Relieve that hangover? Get a better night’s sleep? Improve hydration after a day at the beach? Strengthen your immunity so you don’t get that cold or flu that’s going around? Increase your energy or get rid of fatigue? Alleviate jet lag? Overcome hormone imbalance? Beat those blues? Lose those extra pounds? Or eliminate headaches? If you’ve checked off at least one or maybe two or three… It’s ok, be honest with yourself… I would highly recommend taking a trip into see Dr. Heidi Rootes or Dr. Erica Kubanek for an extra boost that you might need.

While the IV Wellness Boutique offers customized treatments they also offer pre-made vitamin drips and booster shots for burnout providing energy, cold buster pumping up your immune, slim jim for weight loss, stress b, mood booster to combat depression, chill out when anxiety gets too much, rehydrate and sweet dreams to help you sleep.

I can’t begin to tell you how much Heidi and Robin have changed my life since walking into their doors. I’m more focused, energetic and I feel more alive and able to manage my life in a supportive and healthy way than ever before. The IV Wellness Boutique is one of Vancouver’s hidden gems that everyone should experience at least once in their life. Aaaaand it’s covered by extended medical!!! WAHOOOOO!!! I can’t let anything slow me down and I’m so grateful to be able to have the IV Wellness Boutique as one of my healthy solutions to continue to lead a successful life both personally and professionally.
