Our overall vitality is directly impacted by the health of our gut. And what we do to support our overall health impacts our gut health to one degree or another. Increasing circulation, hydration, oxygenation and nutrition for the whole body will help improve our gut health. Here are some of the services that support overall vitality and, specifically, gut health.
Cryotherapy is widely revered for reducing chronic inflammation and supporting thyroid function and mental well-being. It burns to anywhere from 500 to 800 caloeires and has historically been for weight loss support. This modality of healing has significant potential.
Cryotherapy, involves exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures for a short period, offering several potential benefits for both overall body health and gastric inflammation we explore below the general benefits.
General Body Benefits of Cryotherapy
Reduces Inflammation – Cold exposure helps lower systemic inflammation by reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Enhances Recovery & Muscle Repair – Athletes use cryotherapy to speed up muscle recovery, reduce soreness, and improve overall physical performance.
Boosts Metabolism & Fat Loss – Cold exposure stimulates brown fat activation, which helps burn calories and improve metabolism.
Improves Circulation – The rapid cooling and warming process encourages better blood flow, which can enhance oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues.
Pain Relief & Joint Health – Cryotherapy can help with chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and joint disorders.
Supports Immune System – Cold exposure may strengthen the immune system by promoting the release of anti-inflammatory proteins.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for Intestinal Issues
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, increasing oxygen levels in the blood and tissues. This can promote healing and reduce inflammation, making it a potential treatment for various intestinal and digestive issues.
Potential Benefits of HBOT for Intestinal Issues:
Reduces Inflammation in the Gut
HBOT has been shown to lower inflammatory markers and suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines, helping conditions like Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and gastritis.
It may reduce intestinal swelling and oxidative stress, promoting better gut health.
Promotes Gut Lining Repair (Leaky Gut Syndrome)
Increased oxygen delivery helps repair damaged intestinal lining, which is crucial for those with leaky gut syndrome or IBD.
HBOT stimulates angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), improving blood flow and nutrient delivery to the gut.
Supports Healing from Intestinal Ulcers & Infections
Studies suggest HBOT may help heal peptic ulcers and H. pylori infections by enhancing oxygen supply to damaged tissues.
It has antimicrobial properties, which may help fight gut infections and support microbiome balance.
Improves Gut Motility & Oxygenation
HBOT can enhance mitochondrial function, improving gut cell energy production and digestion.
It may help conditions like IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) by reducing gut inflammation and improving peristalsis (muscle contractions in the intestines).
Enhances Post-Surgical Recovery for GI Disorders
After surgeries like colectomy, bowel resection, or bariatric surgery, HBOT may accelerate healing and reduce complications such as infection and anastomotic leaks.
It can also aid in healing from radiation-induced colitis (damage to intestines from radiation therapy).
Conditions That May Benefit from HBOT
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s & Ulcerative Colitis)
Leaky Gut Syndrome
Peptic Ulcers & H. pylori Infections
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Radiation-Induced Colitis or Enteritis
Post-Surgical Recovery for Gastrointestinal Procedures
Benefits of IV Therapy
Intravenous (IV) therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals, and medications directly into the bloodstream, ensuring fast and efficient absorption. It is used for hydration, nutrient replenishment, detoxification, and recovery.
Rapid Hydration & Electrolyte Balance
Quickly restores fluid levels in cases of dehydration due to illness, intense exercise, heat exhaustion, or alcohol consumption.
Replenishes electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) essential for muscle function, nerve signaling, and heart health.
Enhanced Nutrient Absorption
Unlike oral supplements, IV therapy bypasses digestion, allowing 100% absorption of vitamins and minerals.
Beneficial for those with malabsorption issues (e.g., Crohn’s disease, IBS, celiac disease).
Boosts Immune System
High-dose Vitamin C IV therapy enhances immune function, fights infections, and reduces inflammation.
Zinc and glutathione IVs support antioxidant defense against free radicals.
Supports Detoxification & Liver Health
Glutathione IV therapy aids in liver detox, reducing oxidative stress and heavy metal buildup.
Helps clear toxins from the body after alcohol consumption, medication use, or environmental exposure.
Increases Energy & Reduces Fatigue
B-vitamin IV drips (B12, B-complex) improve energy production, brain function, and metabolism.
Magnesium and amino acids help combat fatigue and muscle weakness.
Aids in Recovery (Athletic & Post-Surgical)
Amino acid and electrolyte IVs speed up muscle recovery, reduce soreness, and prevent cramps.
Supports collagen production and tissue repair after surgery or injury.
Supports Gut Health & Digestion
Helps individuals with malabsorption disorders, leaky gut, or chronic GI inflammation receive essential nutrients.
Zinc, magnesium, and Vitamin C IVs promote gut lining repair and reduce inflammation.
Anti-Aging & Skin Health
Glutathione & Vitamin C IVs brighten skin, reduce wrinkles, and improve collagen production.
Hydration IVs enhance skin elasticity and promote a youthful glow.
Improves Cognitive Function & Mental Clarity
NAD+ IV therapy enhances brain function, memory, and focus.
B vitamins & amino acids help combat brain fog and stress.
Relief from Hangovers & Migraines
Hydration, B vitamins, and electrolytes help alleviate headaches, nausea, and fatigue.
Magnesium IVs are beneficial for migraine sufferers.
