Importance of comprehensive blood work and IV therapy.
How important is it to carry out a comprehensive assessment of blood work?
Hi, this is Dr. Robert Kachko. We take a comprehensive, holistic look at your health care needs.
To understand what your brain and body need, we have to do a thorough assessment to look and find the root cause of what’s keeping you from feeling your best.
For most of our patients, that comprehensive assessment often starts with blood work.
What can be analyzed through blood work?
We can use comprehensive blood work to look at lipids and high cholesterol, inflammation, elevated blood sugar, and insulin resistance.
We can assess for essential nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and fats. We can look to see how your hormones are functioning and balance them.
We can also see if there are any environmental causes that might contribute to how you’re feeling. This can be things like heavy metals or infections due to different viruses.
What are the steps taken after a comprehensive analysis of blood work?
Once we get a comprehensive look at the human body, we can create a targeted treatment plan. One of the most powerful therapies to help each individual with a personalized plan is IV nutrient therapy.
When it comes to IV therapy, we can help the body more efficiently by giving the body what it needs in terms of vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, targeted botanicals, and precisely recommended prescriptions.
What are the benefits of IV Therapy?
Once an individual gets IV therapy based on their unique needs, the body has an opportunity to flourish. Chronic conditions can be prevented and sometimes even be reversed.
At our practice, we first do an intense assessment and then create a customized treatment plan.
Alongside IV therapy, this plan might include things like acupuncture, mind-body medicine, and targeted nutraceuticals.
