Feeling Run Down? Here’s How Infusion Therapy Can Help You Bounce Back

Feeling Run Down? Here’s How Infusion Therapy Can Help You Bounce Back

You know those times when your energy plummets, you’ve lost your focus, and no amount of coffee can save the day? You’re not alone. 

Whether you’re pushing against tight deadlines at work, recovering from an illness, or just dealing with life’s daily grind, feeling run down is your body’s way of telling you it needs extra support.

While lifestyle habits like eating nutrient-dense meals, getting enough sleep, and exercising can help bolster your energy levels, sometimes you need a little extra help. 

At Aletheia Integrative in Lincoln, Nebraska, Jaime Dodge, MD, offers infusion therapy to do just that. Infusion therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and hydration directly into your bloodstream.

Read on to learn how infusion therapy can help you bounce back faster.

Why infusion therapy works so well

Infusion therapy combats fatigue in two ways:

  1. The method (how it works)
  2. The nutrients (what exactly it gives you)

The method

Unlike oral supplements, which must first pass through your digestive system, intravenous (IV) infusions send nutrients straight into your bloodstream. This means your cells can access 100% of what they need, right when they need it most. 

The result? Quicker symptom relief and more noticeable improvements in your energy, mood, and general wellness.

The nutrients you need

It’s not just about how you receive the nutrients. It’s about what nutrients you receive.

Each infusion contains clinical-grade nutrients and can be adjusted based on your symptoms, lab results, or wellness goals. 

In our infusions, you might find vitamins like B12 and B-complex that help convert the food you eat into fuel, while minerals such as magnesium support healthy muscle and nerve function.

Antioxidants like vitamin C and glutathione combat oxidative stress. Oxidative stress not only can sap your vitality, but it also accelerates cellular aging and increases your risk of chronic disease. (Talk about feeling run down!) 

Find the right infusion to help you reach your goals

Not everyone needs the same vitamins or minerals to restore their energy levels. For example, people following a plant-based diet often benefit from a vitamin B infusion since B vitamins are primarily found in animal products. If that’s the case for you, Dr. Dodge may recommend an infusion rich in B vitamins to help replenish your levels.

On the other hand, if you’re feeling run down after recovering from a cold, he may suggest an immune-boosting blend to help you bounce back faster. Regardless of your situation, Dr. Dodge takes the time to make sure you receive the infusion best suited to your needs.

Dr. Dodge offers the following infusions at Aletheia Integrative: 

NAD+ therapy

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body that helps convert food into energy.

NAD+ infusion therapy delivers this coenzyme directly into your bloodstream, where it can quickly boost cellular energy production and repair. If you’re feeling run down from stress, illness, or overwork, you might consider NAD+ to help restore mental clarity and improve stamina.

Myers’ cocktail 

This infusion blends magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamin C. It’s good for immune health, energy, mood, and recovery from illness.

High-dose vitamin C 

If you’re feeling run-down because of a cold, you might consider high-dose vitamin C to deliver immune-boosting, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Immune support infusion

This infusion contains zinc, selenium, B-complex, and vitamin C to bolster defenses during cold/flu season. While it’s good to boost your immune system at the start of cold and flu season, this infusion is also good to support your immune system after illness.

Hydration + electrolyte replenishment 

International travel, intense training (think: marathon training), or illness can zap your electrolytes and leave you feeling drained. 

Our hydration and electrolyte replenishment can help restore fluid balance and make you feel more invigorated. 

Here’s the best part. You don’t have to decide which type of infusion is right for you. Dr. Dodge reviews all of your options, including what add-ons you’d like. For example, we offer glutathione for detoxification, cellular repair, and improved skin health.

Ready to recharge?

You don’t have to wait out weeks of exhaustion or fight through fatigue on your own. Infusion therapy at Aletheia Integrative can help rehydrate, replenish, and restore your energy so you can get back to living life at full speed.
