Description
Dr. Craig Koniver is here to share about a health topic that might be new to many of you listening. It sounds a little unusual! Ever thought about taking vitamins … through an IV?
I’ve been interested in nutrient IVs for several years since receiving one at my doctor’s office and noticing the results. Thanks to a few gene mutations, it is hard for me to absorb certain nutrients correctly, and the IV seemed to really help.
Today, I delve into the science behind nutrient IVs with Dr. Craig Koniver, creator of the FastVitaminIV™ system, the only patent pending performance medicine IV that delivers vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into your bloodstream in 60 seconds or less.
A proactive (and natural) approach to health? Yes please!
Dr. Craig Koniver on Vitamin IVs
Early in his medical career, Dr. Koniver realized he wanted to offer his patients more than prescriptions. He opened Primary Plus Organic Medicine LLC in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2006 and turned his attention to learning about the cutting edge of natural medicine.
Dr. Koniver noticed the growing trend of professional athletes and patients interested in receiving nutrients intravenously and began to look for a better way to deliver these benefits (without sitting with a slow drip IV for an hour).
As someone who has struggled for a long time my thyroid, I know how challenging it is to figure out certain health issues. You can make all the “right” changes but still be missing a piece a big piece of the puzzle. Nutrient IVs have been a part of that missing piece for me, and I hope it can help some of you who suspect you might be in a similar situation.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
reasons why today’s population is more nutrient deficient than ever before
the major epidemic affecting women today
how much benefit we really get from those expensive oral vitamin supplements
why we often can’t get all our nutrients from food, even with a healthful diet
what macronutrients and micronutrients are, and how they control hormone balance in our bodies
Dr. Koniver’s unique solution to managing health proactively, and why he chose it
what makes fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin D so important, and how to know if you have optimal levels
the role of amino acids in the body … it’s one we don’t want to ignore
benefits of glutamine: the all-important amino acid for gut health
the vitamins Dr. Koniver considers most essential to his protocol (he makes sure they are in every FastIV!)
why the speed of intravenous nutrients matters (beyond just saving you time)
where to get access to nutrient IVs, who should get them, and how often
positive hormone-boosting effects of putting down your phone and tapping into real community
Dr. Koniver’s own strategies for reducing stress and improving health in everyday life
my own take on how it feels to get a nutrient IV, and whether I recommend the experience!
