IV Therapy Benefiting Women

Discover the customized wellness approach with Dr. Anastacia Munro

Dr. Anastacia Munro, a fellowship-trained anesthesiologist, is a passionate advocate for the advancement and enrichment of women's health and well-being.

“One of the ways I hope to support women’s health and well-being is by providing a customized IV infusion service and peptide therapy to those in our community,” said Dr. Munro. 

To do this, she founded Luxe IV Infusions, a physician-led mobile IV infusion service that provides convenience, wellness, and vitality through crafted IV treatments and peptide therapies in the comfort of one’s home, hotel room, or office.

IV therapy, also known as intravenous therapy, involves the delivery of fluids, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients quickly and directly into a person’s bloodstream through a vein. 

Those who choose to use IV therapy can expect many benefits such as hydration, nutrient absorption, energy boost, detoxification, immune support, and hangover relief.

“Overall, the benefits of IV therapy can vary depending on the individual's needs and the specific formulation used. This is why it is very important to consult a professional to guide you and ensure the therapy is safe and effective,” said Dr. Munro. 

Women can also have unique benefits from IV therapy, including postpartum recovery, energy restoration, stress relief, immune support, skin health, and overall wellness. Many women may be happy to hear that IV therapy can also help with PMS relief.

“IV therapy can be customized to include vitamins and minerals that may help alleviate symptoms of PMS, such as mood swings, bloating, and fatigue. An example is that magnesium and vitamin B6 are often used for relief,” said Dr. Munro. “I feel women’s symptoms are often overlooked or dismissed. This is a therapy that may help target those at a deeper level.”

There are some misconceptions surrounding IV therapy, with one prevalent notion being that it is exclusively reserved for individuals who are unwell. However, this perception overlooks the broader scope of IV therapy applications, which extends beyond medical emergencies.

“While IV therapy is used in hospitals, it is also used in wellness clinics for hydration, vitamin supplementation, and overall wellness. Many healthy individuals use it for various benefits,” said Dr. Munro. 

IV therapy has expanded its reach beyond traditional perceptions, now catering to a broader audience seeking proactive health management and holistic well-being. Consulting a healthcare provider and understanding the facts beforehand is crucial, but embracing IV therapy can offer a safe and effective means to support your body's needs.
