San Jose Morgan Hill Tis the season for holiday cheer, but also for holiday stress. If you find yourself feeling foggy, overwhelmed, or anxious about the upcoming months, do yourself a favor and gift yourself some inner health work with one of our wellness treatments. Here’s how some of our favorite wellness treatments can fit into your lifestyle:
First thing’s first, assess where your wellness currently stands. Before we prescribe you any regimen or treatment, we want to get a feel for your current lifestyle. These in-depth health assessments ensure every plan is tailored to you. During this all-encompassing appointment our wellness physician Dr. Del Toro will meet with you and learn about what it is your interested in working on. Brain fog? There’s a treatment for that. Weight management? There’s a treatment for that — and so on and so forth. Whether you realize it or not every day life can take a toll on your health; checking up on your wellness is never a bad idea.
If you’re suffering from brain fog, seasonal moodiness, low energy, or anxiety, IV therapy is a great wellness alternative to traditional treatments. This IV infusion therapy is exactly what it sounds like: an intravenous injection where a formula of fluid is delivered directly into the body. It is the quickest way to deliver the products (vitamins, fluids, nutrients etc.) throughout the body. Since the fluid is injected directly into the veins, there’s no time spent waiting for absorption through the digestive system. This means quick results that give you relief immediately.
Sometimes you need relief immediately: That’s what peptide booster injections are for. These versatile shots can be done at the office or administered by yourself at home. Peptides are amino acids that make up certain proteins needed by the skin, and when injected they’re able to address a myriad of issues such as triggering fat loss, improving brain function, increasing libido, boosting immune function and improving energy. Ask us which booster is right for you needs — we guarantee you’ll find one to fall in love with. The best part is that you’ll start feeling better right after the injection. Wave goodbye to lazy days.
Hormones are a tricky beast. Imbalanced, they contribute to everything from weight gain and fatigue to anxiety and depression. It’s natural for our hormones to decline over time (with a drop beginning around age 30), but you don’t have to suffer. To combat the hormonal imbalance we offer pellet therapy. Pellet therapy treats what is missing by inserting a customized rice sized compound underneath the skin. The pellet is made up of estradiol or testosterone and is slowly released into the body to treat uncomfortable shifts that happen naturally as we age.
If you’ve tried every diet in the book and given up on every exercise challenge on Instagram, it may be time to talk with a professional. There’s no shame in asking for help! Our certified Health and Wellness Coach Alexandra McCormick is here to hold you accountable and ensure linear progress through daily check-ins and individualized plans. The holiday season doesn’t have to be filled with gluttonous decisions.
If you’re ready to clear your mind and take the next step to ensuring a smooth and pleasant holiday season, give us a call! We can’t wait to help you take your wellness to the next level with support from our San Jose plastic surgery practice: (650) 433-8621.
