12/31/2023

At Flourish Medical + Wellness, we're all about making sure your body works at its best. We’re very aware of the research compiled over hundreds of years on how to keep people healthy and thriving. And we aren't fond of just extending life by taking meds every day to cover up symptoms. Our approach to medicine is all about helping you live long and stay healthy, as God intended. Here are ten ways to flourish as we partner with you in your wellness.

#1 Weight Loss

At FMW we believe that an effective weight loss program needs to be tailored to each individual’s lifestyle, health, age, and hormone levels. Therefore, we offer a variety of weight loss options in order to provide optimal results for each individual patient. With the goal of sustainable weight loss, the best approach is with a balanced and individualized strategy that considers factors like nutrition, exercise, mental well-being, and long-term habits. Restoring optimal hormone levels, testosterone, estradiol, and thyroid, is an integral part of a successful weight loss plan. This makes weight loss more attainable as well as sustainable!

#2 IV Therapy

Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy is a treatment which includes ingredients like essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids proven over decades to play a significant role in our health and wellness. IV nutrient therapy is a safe, effective, and restorative therapy used to aid in treating several medical conditions and to boost your immune system. Our IV therapy is customized to meet each individual’s nutritional needs and is administered directly into the veins which provides significantly more benefit than oral and traditional supplements and medications. Check out the benefits and our nutrient menu>>

#3 Hormone Therapy

Hormone imbalance happens to both men and women and can have a significant impact on overall health and wellness. Hormones are one of the most important regulatory systems in the body. They function as messengers, interacting with specific target cells and organs to stimulate them into action. Hormone replacement therapy offers relief from many of the uncomfortable symptoms caused by a hormone imbalance. It can change your life! Read our patient’s stories>>

#4 Toxin Removal

God designed our bodies to be able to detoxify and heal in most circumstances, however, with continuous toxin exposure and a lack of nutrient dense foods to nourish our bodies and support healing, those natural detoxification pathways can become blocked or stagnant. When this occurs, toxins build up inside the body and can cause diffuse inflammation, leading to disease processes. At Flourish, we offer thorough toxin testing and detoxification options.

#5 Nutrition

We have all heard (and likely tried) dozens of diets to help us achieve our weight goals. Nutrition means so many different things to each of us. The focus that we offer is to rely on natural, healthy foods that nourish our bodies in order to help us function optimally. Small, sustainable changes are the focus as they are often longer lasting solutions and easier to implement. That’s why we offer a handy (free) Food Swap Guide to make healthy grocery shopping a little easier. At Flourish, we also partner with you through holistic Functional Medicine methods. Perhaps intermittent fasting is an approach you’ve been wanting to investigate. We’ve got a great resource for you.

#6 Supplementation

Our best resource for nutrition should be food but there are many situations where we need to look at supplementation to enhance the amount of vitamins and minerals our bodies are receiving. Most American diets are full of refined carbohydrates and sugars and are insufficient in essential vitamins and antioxidants. This can leave you deficient in many key nutrients that are needed to prevent chronic disease, and to run all body systems effectively. A balanced diet provides a source of vitamins and minerals, but taking dietary supplements with your healthy diet is beneficial in ensuring your body has enough of the nutrients it needs each day. Our (free) Holistic Home Remedies booklet is a great place to start! And our supplement recommendations are available for you to purchase online or at our clinic.

#7 Essential Oils

Essential oils are concentrated extracts derived from various plants and have been used for centuries for their potential health and wellness benefits. While individual experiences can vary, here are some commonly reported benefits of essential oils: aromatherapy, stress and anxiety reduction, improved sleep, pain relief, immune system support, headache relief, skin care, natural air freshener, home cleansers, mood enhancement, and repelling insects. With so many benefits and essential oils to choose from, it’s a great way to flourish! You can learn more and order from our own doTERRA essential oil shop>>

#8 Aesthetic Therapy

At Flourish, our definition of wellness encompasses all aspects of whole-person care, including physical, mental, and emotional wellness. Appearance can have a profound impact on wellness and how we interact with those around us. That is why we offer aesthetic treatments and have chosen to use the safest FDA-approved products to keep you feeling and looking your best. Botox® Cosmetic is the first FDA-approved treatment to improve frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines in adults. The best results come from a well-trained medical provider who understands facial anatomy and musculature and customizes treatment to each individual patient. That's one of the reasons to schedule your Botox® Cosmetic treatments with us. Learn more>>

#9 Gut Health

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the relationship between gut health and overall well-being. We now understand that the gut plays a central role in our health, impacting everything from digestion to the immune system and even mental health. One approach that's gaining traction in the pursuit of optimal gut health is functional medicine. At FMW we also know the increasing exposure to toxins in our environment can worsen symptoms. That is why we offer a parasite protocol. Parasites weaken the body’s natural defense mechanisms which allows for easier invasion by parasites. They may be the underlying trigger for a variety of chronic health conditions, like autoimmune diseases and irritable bowel syndrome. We offer testing and treatment! Learn more about parasite protocol>>

#10 Emotional Health

To flourish, we must place a priority on our emotional wellness. Our medical practice seeks to bring wholeness through physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. That’s why we offer more in-depth testing. If you have been struggling with physical, mental, or emotional symptoms that have no known or identifiable cause, a trapped emotion may be the cause. Working with the Governing Meridian energy pathway and applied kinesiology, these trapped emotions can be identified and removed, leading to healing and improvement or resolution of the associated symptoms.

We’ve shared a few of the ways you can flourish in 2024! Hopefully, you’ve discovered what makes us different from other medical clinics. Our personal approach to YOUR individual needs is the focus. And the treatments and plans we suggest for you aren't determined by insurance companies. Instead, we give you the care that fits you like a glove. We look at your symptoms, offer appropriate testing, complete a comprehensive assessment to determine your care plan.

It's all about personalized care here at Flourish Medical + Wellness. Learn more about our Team and call us to schedule your first visit!

Nourish from Within: Exploring the Benefits of IV Nutrition Therapy

10/19/2023

In a world that often feels like a whirlwind of fast-paced living, maintaining optimal health can be a challenge. Enter IV nutrition therapy, a method that has gained popularity for its ability to provide a direct infusion of essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients into the bloodstream. While the concept of intravenous nourishment might seem like a medical marvel, it's becoming increasingly embraced by wellness enthusiasts and health-conscious individuals seeking a holistic approach to their well-being.

The Basics of IV Nutrition Therapy

IV nutrition therapy involves the administration of a customized blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream. By bypassing the digestive system, this method ensures quick and efficient absorption, allowing the body to receive a higher concentration of nutrients than would be possible through oral supplements alone.

Now, let's delve into some of the remarkable benefits of IV nutrition therapy:

1) Rapid Nutrient Absorption

One of the standout advantages of IV nutrition therapy is the speed at which nutrients are absorbed by the body. Unlike oral supplements, which must first pass through the digestive system, IV infusion delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This rapid absorption can be particularly beneficial for individuals with digestive issues or those who struggle to absorb nutrients effectively through the digestive tract.

2) Increased Energy Levels

Are you feeling fatigued and sluggish despite a seemingly healthy lifestyle? IV nutrition therapy might be the boost you need. The infusion of essential nutrients can enhance energy levels, helping you feel more revitalized and ready to tackle the demands of daily life. It's a popular choice for those facing chronic fatigue or recovering from illness.

3) Immune System Support

The immune system is our body's first line of defense against illness and infection. IV nutrition therapy can provide a powerful immune system boost by delivering high doses of vitamin C and other immune-supporting nutrients directly to the bloodstream. This proactive approach to immune health is especially attractive during cold and flu seasons or when facing increased stress.

4) Hydration and Detoxification

IV nutrition therapy often includes a hydration component, making it an effective way to address dehydration. Additionally, some formulations include nutrients that support the body's natural detoxification processes, helping to flush out toxins and promote overall wellness.

5) Enhanced Athletic Performance and Recovery

Athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and weekend warriors alike are turning to IV nutrition therapy to optimize their performance and recovery. The infusion of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals can aid in muscle repair, reduce inflammation, and speed up recovery after intense physical activity.

6) Stress Reduction and Mental Clarity

The demands of modern life can take a toll on mental well-being. IV nutrition therapy can help alleviate stress and promote mental clarity by supplying the brain with essential nutrients. This can be particularly beneficial for those experiencing high levels of stress or individuals seeking cognitive enhancement.

In the quest for optimal health and well-being, IV nutrition therapy emerges as a promising ally. By providing a direct and efficient pathway for nutrient delivery, this innovative approach offers a range of benefits, from increased energy levels and immune system support to enhanced athletic performance and mental clarity. At Flourish, we offer a variety of IV Therapy blends and invite you check out our menu and learn more about what we offer. So, why not consider nourishing your body from within and unlocking the potential of IV nutrition therapy? Your health and vitality may thank you for it!
