So, come enjoy some self-care  with us.  We look forward to seeing everyone Saturday!

At Regen IV Wellness, we believe in using functional medicine, nourishing the body from the inside out, to achieve overall health and wellness; drinking plenty of water, eating the right foods, supplementing with vitamins and minerals, and getting adequate exercise.

That is 93.3 million Americans with a BMI over 30.
​That is 93.3 million Americans with a higher risk of disease and premature death. 
That is 93.3 million Americans living an unsatisfactory lifestyle. 

The main factors that contribute to obesity are:
1. Our behavior (such as diet and physical activity)
2. Influences from our community and environment
3. Genetics
4. Certain diseases

Though some of these factors are out of our control, like our genetics, the most influential factors are things we can control.  Just by making small lifestyle changes we can have a huge impact on our overall health; drinking more water, moving more, removing processed foods from our diet.  Incorporating regular IV vitamin supplements and hydration can support a healthy lifestyle by boosting metabolism, improving sleep, and making your body operate at its highest capacity.  This can help make your healthy diet and active lifestyle more successful, enjoyable, and rewarding.

What are some small, yet huge, changes you can make in your lifestyle?

What is B12?
B12 is an essential vitamin that is found in many of the foods we eat such as organ meats and dairy. The cool thing about B12 is that your body uses what it needs throughout the day, and stores the leftovers for use later. Unfortunately, most people don't consume enough of the vitamin the body needs.  The signs of B12 deficiency include:

• Fatigue
• Dizziness
• Numbness or tingling
• Memory fog
• Shortness of breath

There are many benefits to supplementing with B12 including increased energy levels, better mood, improved sleep, and even boosting metabolism and assisting with weight loss.  No wonder this is one of the most popular injections.

Types of B12
There are 3 common forms of B12: methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, and cyanocobalamin. We often get asked which form of B12 is the best. This question can have a different answer depending on the usage.  First and foremost, we place our integrity on superior quality.  At Regen IV Wellness, we only use METHYLcobalamin B12 for injections, and HYDROXOcobalamin B12 for IVs.  The truth is all forms of B12 are synthetically made in a lab. The differences lie in how the body processes each type.  CYANOcobalamin is inexpensive, slightly toxic but more stable with a cyanide molecule leading to a longer shelf life. We don’t recommend it for ANYONE especially those with MTHFR gene dysfunction. METHYLcobalamin is more bioactive and the same B12 form found in the blood as well as a cofactor in two enzymes. It is the Kingpin being the most effective and shows the greatest utilization in the body. We use it in our IV cocktails, Prolozone, and injections. HYDROXOcobalamin is the MOST active form and predominant form found in B12 rich foods. It has a higher affinity for plasma proteins and lasts longer in the body requiring less injections. We use it in select IV cocktails only.

Who Can Benefit From B12?
B12 injections are great for everyone; especially teachers heading back to school, parents with small children who are in daycare or school, anyone entering cold and flu season, and professionals who are in contact with large groups of people. It's basically a great vitamin supplement for ANYONE to take on a regular basis to set the body up for success. 

Schedule an appointment with us to get your B12 injection and receive all the benefits of this essential vitamin.

At Regen IV Wellness, we believe in nourishing your body inside and out.  Getting the proper nutrients in your diet is critical to living your healthiest life.  Intravenous vitamins and minerals can help support your healthy lifestyle, but YOU must put in the work by ensuring your diet and activity levels are in line.  There’s no magic pill or procedure that will undo poor diet and exercise.  Poor diet can result in chronic disease, depression, and overall lifestyle discomfort. 
 
A few ways you can improve your diet are:

• Meal prepping instead of eating out.  I prep my lunch for the week and portion it out ahead of time so I’m less likely to do the convenient thing and hit up the drive thru.  Keep reading to find out what I made for my lunches this week and the recipe.
• Shop the perimeter of the grocery store instead of the processed-laden interior.  Grocery store designers are some of the smartest marketing manipulators around.  The whole, raw foods are located around the outside aisles of the store; ironically, they're also the more affordable food items.  Stick to these aisles for most of your groceries and you’ll save yourself from spending more calories and more money on junk foods.
• Drink plenty of water.  Many times, we confuse thirst with hunger and reach for a bag of potato chips instead of our water bottle.  If you read our last post, you know what dehydration does to the body. Make sure you stay hydrated to keep from snacking on the bad stuff and make your body function at top capacity.

Spicy Shrimp and Cauliflower Rice Stirfry
This recipe is inspired by one of my favorite dishes at Snappy Salads.  It’s quick and easy to make, portion out for the week, and reheats well.

1 tbsp coconut oil
1 red bell pepper chopped
1 medium onion chopped
1 zucchini diced
1 yellow squash diced
1 tbsp minced garlic
20 raw shrimp (I use frozen)
1 cup riced cauliflower (I use Costco frozen proportioned)
 
For the sauce:
1 tbsp minced ginger
2 tbsp Sriracha (more or less depending on spice level)
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
 
 Heat a skillet with coconut oil.

1. Add bell pepper, onion, zucchini, and squash until soft.
2. Add garlic and stir until fragrant.
   
3. Add shrimp and cover for 2-3 minutes (check at 2 minutes, if still translucent continue cooking for additional time until pink throughout.)
4. While shrimp is cooking, mix sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
5. Heat riced cauliflower per instructions.
6. When shrimp is done, drain off excess liquid and pour sauce mixture into shrimp mixture.  Stir to coat.
7. Portion riced cauliflower and top with shrimp mixture.  Enjoy!

Hi, Regenners.  We are excited to announce we are officially open for business.  This project has been a long time coming for us and we couldn’t be more pumped to start providing affordable holistic IV therapies and hydration.
 
If you aren’t familiar with us; welcome to Regen IV Wellness’ first blog post! In addition to our health and wellness services, we think it’s important to inform the community about the importance of overall health and wellness. That’s what this blog will be about; giving our followers information on holistic health topics, wellness tips, local like-minded business shout outs, recipes, links to resources, and more. 
 
The seed for this business idea sprouted after Jose spent many hobby hours of training and certification courses and conferences on the topics of ozone therapy, Prolozone/PRP, and IV vitamin therapy.  He became engrossed in all things ozone when he was introduced to the various treatments and benefits by his long-time chiropractor, Dr. Brian Hooten, DC, who invited us over to his house to detox in his ozone sauna.  I’ll never forget sitting in a soft sided sauna with ozone tubing wired up to it in our chiropractor’s garage while it filled up the inside of the sauna to help me sweat out the bad stuff and absorb the goodness.  It wasn’t long before Jose carved out a space for a sauna and had me relaxing and detoxing in our own garage.  Don’t believe me?  Here’s the picture to prove it…I’ll have to scrounge up the one of Jose “zoning” out to spa music in our jerry-rigged ozone sauna surrounded by stacked boxes and discarded tools.

The ozone sauna was just the beginning of his fascination with ozone therapy.  It was only a matter of time before he became trained in all aspects of medical ozone; including Prolozone and PRP injection therapy, by the President, Dr. Frank Shallenberger, M.D. of the American Association of Ozonotherapy, and eventually trained in IV Nutritional Therapy by Drs. Virginia Osborne, N.D. and Paul Anderson, N.D.  immediately after finishing nursing school and passing his RN boards.  Once he received his RN licensure, he began looking for jobs where he could practice his passion for holistic and natural methods of healing, particularly in ozone. While working for local ozone and hydration therapy businesses, and one big name PRP company, he decided to put his dreams of building a holistic and integrative medical (wellness) practice into action.  A practice owned and operated by medical professionals, (unlike many of the places he had previously worked), where affordable treatments with high quality and third party tested ingredients are the standard to help our family, friends, and strangers in complementing their treatments for their ailments.  A place that focuses on overall wellness from a natural and holistic perspective so our patients can embrace their true health potential.
 
Almost two years of planning, collaborating, babies, and building the vision of this business, we are proud to say we are officially up and running.  Built from the ground up with our OWN ideas and hard-earned dollars, we will always be improving and perfecting our practice to accommodate our patients' needs.  Jose is continuing his education with his BSN and ultimately his MSN as Family Nurse Practitioner all with a focus on holistic and natural healthcare at the forefront while I act as a silent partner in the back office maintaining our high standards of operations and customer service.
 
Check back to our website for improvements, updates, and a complete detailed list of services we offer.  Each of our services is customizable to the individual and we will always stay current with the latest and greatest in IV therapy.  We will also have an official grand opening celebration/open house once we screw our heads back on.
