Obesity and Functional Medicine

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.

According to the CDC, in a 2015 study,  39.6% of Americans are obese.

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?
