Fall (and winter) obviously bring a lot of fun, too with all sorts of holidays and traditions, but it’s important to be aware of some of the ways this time of year can impact our health.
This week, we’re talking about Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.), and what we can do to address it!

t’s no secret that water is pretty important; sufficient hydration is literally essential to our survival – even if it can be a little challenging to drink the recommended amount of water, especially in warmer or dryer climates! (Though recommended water intake varies slightly according to age, sex, and weight, adults are typically advised to drink upwards of 10 cups of water each day!) Fortunately, IVs give us another way to ensure our bodies are appropriately hydrated if consuming that much water on a daily basis is a challenge, because hydration carries many additional important benefits – on top of, ya know: living!

IV therapy is the fastest way to rehydrate the body and replenish fluids when they are lost. Insurances will cover the cost of IV therapy when in the operating room, the emergency department, or the hospital. They frequently will not cover the cost when the IV is administered in the home, and when they do, it is often after months of back and forth. The cost of submitting claims to insurance would require our company to hire multiple additional people to handle the insurance claims, without any assurance they would indeed be covered services. Since our company functions as an on-demand provider of in-home and clinic based IV therapy, it is faster, cheaper, and more convenient to avoid using insurance altogether.

In-home IV therapy certainly accomplishes this task.
