The thyroid gland is highly sensitive to nutritional status, and several key micronutrients play essential roles in thyroid hormone production, activation, and overall gland health. Here are the most important ones:

1. Iodine
• Primary building block for thyroid hormones (T4 and T3).
• Both deficiency and excess can impair thyroid function.
• Found in: seaweed, iodized salt, dairy, eggs, fish.

2. Selenium
• Required for the enzyme (deiodinase) that converts inactive T4 into active T3.
• Protects the thyroid from oxidative stress.
• Found in: Brazil nuts, tuna, sardines, turkey, eggs.

3. Zinc
• Supports thyroid hormone synthesis and T3 receptor function.
• Deficiency can mimic hypothyroidism symptoms.
• Found in: oysters, beef, pumpkin seeds, lentils.

4. Iron
• Needed for the enzyme thyroid peroxidase, which helps produce thyroid hormones.
• Iron deficiency anemia can impair hormone production.
• Found in: red meat, spinach, beans, fortified cereals.

5. Magnesium
• Important for hormone receptor sensitivity and energy metabolism.
• Found in: leafy greens, almonds, avocados, dark chocolate.

6. Vitamin D
• Regulates immune function and helps modulate autoimmune thyroid conditions (like Hashimoto’s).
• Found in: sunlight, fatty fish, fortified foods, supplements.

7. Vitamin A
• Supports conversion of T4 to T3 and helps regulate thyroid receptor expression.
• Found in: liver, carrots, sweet potatoes, leafy greens.

8. B Vitamins (especially B12)
• Crucial for energy production, nerve health, and often depleted in hypothyroidism.
• Found in: meat, eggs, dairy, nutritional yeast.

Facial Aging and Modern Treatments

Combining treatments for maximum results!

As we age, the face naturally loses collagen, elastin, and fat, leading to wrinkles, hollow areas, skin laxity, and changes in overall contour. As a result, a combination of treatments is necessary to restore a youthful look.

Fortunately, modern aesthetic treatments can restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance by addressing these underlying causes.

Sculptra® stimulates the body’s own collagen production for gradual, natural-looking volume restoration, while Radiesse® not only adds structure but also enhances collagen for long-term skin rejuvenation.

Hyaluronic acid fillers (such as RHA, Belotero, Juvederm, or Restylane) instantly replace lost volume and smooth lines, providing immediate lift and definition with results that look natural.

In addition, PRP microneedling harnesses the regenerative power of your own platelet-rich plasma to improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity by stimulating collagen and healing.

When used together, these treatments create a comprehensive anti-aging approach—rebuilding structure, restoring youthful contours, and rejuvenating skin quality—helping patients look and feel their best with safe, minimally invasive options tailored to their individual needs.

A key coenzyme found in all living cells, NAD+ is vital for fundamental biological processes, including:

Energy production: It helps convert nutrients from food into usable cellular energy.

Cellular repair: NAD+ is critical for repairing damaged cells and maintaining mitochondrial function.

DNA repair: It supports the health and integrity of your DNA.

Sirtuin activation: NAD+ fuels sirtuins, proteins linked to longevity, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant processes.

The body's natural NAD+ levels decline with age and stress, which can lead to fatigue, brain fog, and other age-related issues. NAD+ injections are designed to replenish these levels directly and efficiently.

Botox® is one of the most effective treatments available for hyperhidrosis—excessive sweating that affects daily comfort and confidence.

In the underarms (axillae), Botox significantly reduces sweat and odor by targeting overactive sweat glands, helping patients feel dry, comfortable, and confident in social and professional settings. For the hands (palmar hyperhidrosis), Botox decreases excessive sweating that can interfere with shaking hands, holding objects, or using electronic devices, restoring confidence and daily functionality.

When used on the scalp and head (craniofacial hyperhidrosis), Botox helps control heavy sweating that can be socially embarrassing, protects hairstyles, and reduces the discomfort of sweat dripping down the face. Results typically appear within days, with dryness lasting 4–6 months or longer, depending on the treatment area.

Compared to topical antiperspirants, which often fail, or systemic medications, which may cause side effects, Botox directly addresses the source of sweating by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. This quick, minimally invasive treatment is safe, effective, and life-changing for patients who want lasting relief from excessive sweating.

At DNA Wellness & Longevity Institute, Botox is administered with precision and expertise to ensure natural, comfortable, and confidence-boosting results.

Back to school 30% off IV Infusions!

- Hydration
- Energy
- Focus
- Immune system boost

Intravenous (IV) therapy offers a powerful and efficient way to deliver essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, fluids, and other therapeutic compounds directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for 100% absorption.

This rapid delivery allows nutrients to become immediately available at the cellular level, supporting optimal function of tissues and organs without the delays or losses associated with oral supplements. IV therapy can help replenish deficiencies, boost immune function, increase energy, improve mental clarity, enhance hydration, and promote faster recovery from illness, physical exertion, or surgery.

Because it bypasses the gastrointestinal tract, it is ideal for individuals with digestive disorders, malabsorption issues, or those requiring high-dose nutrient therapy that would be impractical or irritating to the stomach if taken orally.

Specific blends can be customized to support immunity, athletic performance, detoxification, skin health, hormonal balance, and anti-aging goals. Patients often experience immediate benefits such as increased energy, reduced fatigue, improved mood, and better hydration, making IV therapy a valuable adjunct to wellness, preventive health, and integrative medical care.
