Owners Dr. Chris and Dr. Shamanie have years of functional medicine experience and have seen the dramatic effect of treating patients for nutritional deficiencies. With oral supplementation, they often saw a compliance issue, as it turns out the bottles of supplements that stay in the cupboard don’t actually raise your nutrient levels. IVs guarantee that those levels go up. The exact amount of nutrients that go into the system is known and the patients feel the difference. Doctors Chris and Shamanie know firsthand the effects of chronic illness on quality of life.
As a cancer survivor, Dr. Shamanie knows how chronic disease can interrupt your life. They know the frustrations and the time and energy needed to carve out a path to health which is why they are committed to helping you create health by using IV nutrient therapy and the most innovative and comprehensive functional medicine protocols available. Their heart is to serve and provide an environment of compassion and the hope that healing is possible and to help you create health from the inside out and reclaim your life.
Functional Medicine-Based Approach
Functional medicine is an approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease and dysfunction in the body. It takes into account the individuality of each patient and emphasizes the importance of understanding the unique biochemical and genetic makeup of each person. At DriipIV, we are rooted in functional medicine which gives our patients optimal resources and treatment protocols to reach their vibrant potential of living, as opposed to other IV clinics that don’t share our approach.
The power of functional medicine lies in its holistic and comprehensive approach to healthcare. Rather than merely treating symptoms, functional medicine practitioners aim to understand the underlying imbalances or dysfunctions in the body that contribute to disease. By addressing these root causes, functional medicine seeks to restore balance and promote optimal health.
Key Principles
Here are some key principles and practices that contribute to the power of functional medicine:
Personalized Medicine: Functional medicine recognizes that each individual is unique, with distinct genetic and biochemical makeups. It emphasizes personalized approaches to care, taking into account an individual’s medical history, lifestyle, environment, and genetics to develop targeted treatment plans.
Systems Biology Approach: Instead of viewing the body as a collection of separate parts and symptoms, functional medicine considers the interconnectedness of various biological systems. It recognizes that imbalances or dysfunctions in one system can affect other systems, leading to complex health issues. By understanding these interactions, functional medicine seeks to restore overall balance and health.
Root Cause Identification: Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease, rather than simply alleviating symptoms. This involves a thorough investigation into factors such as nutrition, stress, toxins, infections, and lifestyle habits. By addressing the underlying causes, functional medicine aims to support the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Emphasis on Lifestyle Changes: Functional medicine places great importance on lifestyle modifications, including nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep optimization, and environmental factors. These lifestyle changes are considered integral to supporting health and preventing or reversing chronic conditions.
Integration of Conventional and Alternative Therapies: Functional medicine practitioners aim to integrate the best of both conventional medicine and alternative therapies. They are open to using evidence-based treatments from various disciplines, including nutrition, herbal medicine, supplements, mind-body techniques, and conventional medications when necessary.
Patient-Centered Care: Functional medicine prioritizes building strong patient-provider relationships and involving patients actively in their healthcare journey. It emphasizes patient education, empowerment, and shared decision-making.
Preventive Approach: Functional medicine places a strong emphasis on prevention and optimizing health before disease occurs. By identifying and addressing potential risk factors and imbalances early on, functional medicine aims to promote longevity and vitality.
With a focus on functional medicine, we want to help you build health from the inside out and reclaim your life. We replete nutritional levels so our clients feel their best. We use innovative IV therapies to bring health back to the client. Always striving with excellence to provide the best experience to bring hope and healing.
Our approach to health is grounded in the 5 Principles of Functional Medicine. Instead of asking, “What drug matches up with this disease?” Functional Medicine asks the vital questions that very few conventional doctors ask:
“Why do you have this problem in the first place?”
“Why has function been lost?”
“What can we do to restore function?”
In other words, Functional Medicine looks to find the root cause or mechanism involved with any loss of function, which ultimately reveals why a set of symptoms is there in the first place, or why the patient has a particular disease label. We are here to help clients create health from the inside out and reclaim their life. Reversing chronic disease and helping to prevent disease is our ultimate goal and mission.
Administering nutrients through an IV allows us to verify that 100% of the nutrients are being absorbed directly into the bloodstream whereas taking supplements on their own may have a lower absorption rate. IV also allows us to administer high, concentrated doses to assist with various types of treatment. By bypassing digestion, it bathes the body in nutrients and can act as a jumpstart to the healing process.
Whether our clients have acute illnesses like mono, flu, cold and virus, pain, and injury or are dealing with chronic illnesses like chronic fatigue, migraine, autoimmune, degenerative disease, or more, we aim to bring health and healing to our clients so they can feel better fast using a holistic functional medicine approach.
Many times people can have underlying issues that block their bodies from expressing health. We live in a toxic world, it’s impossible to avoid but that doesn’t mean regaining your health is hopeless. We’ve got powerful interventions that can remove these roadblocks and get you back on track for reclaiming your life!
This key foundation of functional medicine sets us apart from other IV clinics and gives you the resources and support you need to reach your vibrant potential!
