ANSWERS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

What is IV therapy?

IV therapy is a method of delivering vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream. By bypassing the digestive system, these nutrients can be absorbed more efficiently and at higher concentrations than when taken orally.

What types of IV therapies do you offer?

Our wellness practice offers a variety of IV therapies formulated to meet specific health needs, including hydration, immune support, energy boost, detoxification, and anti-aging. Each therapy is designed to support your body’s natural functions and improve your overall well-being.

Who can benefit from IV therapy?

IV therapy can benefit a wide range of individuals, including those looking to enhance their energy levels, improve their immune system, recover from athletic exertion, support detox processes, and achieve better overall health. It’s also beneficial for those who have nutrient absorption issues or who are recovering from an illness.

How long does an IV therapy session take?

The IV therapy sessions last between 1 to 4 hours, depending on the specific protocol and your individual health needs. During this time, you can relax in a comfortable setting while the IV drip is administered.

Is IV therapy safe?

Yes, IV therapy is safe when administered by a qualified healthcare professional. Our team includes licensed and experienced practitioners who ensure that IV therapies are delivered safely and effectively, with minimal risks.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are generally rare and minimal but can include discomfort, bruising, or inflammation at the injection site. More serious complications are uncommon but can occur, which is why a medical assessment is done before any treatments to ensure suitability and safety.

How often should I get IV therapy?

The frequency of IV therapy depends on your individual health goals and conditions. Some clients prefer weekly sessions to support chronic conditions or athletic training, while others may benefit from a less frequent schedule. Our experts can help determine the best regimen for your specific needs.

Can I customize my IV therapy?

Absolutely! We offer personalized IV therapy solutions formulated to your specific health requirements and goals. During your initial consultation, we will assess your health history and discuss your wellness objectives to create a customized IV treatment plan.

What should I expect during my first visit?

During your first visit, you'll undergo a health assessment to ensure you're a good candidate for IV therapy. This may include a discussion of your medical history, current health concerns, and wellness goals. Once cleared, you can relax in our comfortable lounge while your IV therapy is administered.

How can I schedule an appointment?

You can schedule an appointment by calling our office or visiting our website. We recommend booking in advance to ensure availability at your preferred time.

What is functional wellness?

Functional wellness is an approach to health that aims to identify and address the root causes of disease. It emphasizes a systems-oriented approach that focuses on the whole person, rather than isolated symptoms. This method integrates traditional Western medical practices with what are sometimes considered "alternative" or "integrative" methods, focusing on diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors.

What services do you offer?

Aranda Wellness offers a variety of services designed to support your health holistically. These include:

Hormone balancing
Weight loss programs
IV Therapies
Intramuscular injections
Aesthetic treatments
Advance testing diagnostics

Supplements and herbal therapies

How does a consultation work?

Your first consultation will involve a detailed assessment of your health history, lifestyle, and any current symptoms you are experiencing. This might include laboratory tests to gather more information about your nutritional status, hormone levels, and more. Based on this information, we will develop a personalized wellness plan tailored to your specific needs.

What conditions do you typically treat?

We treat a wide range of conditions by focusing on optimizing overall health. Some of the common conditions our clients come to us with include:

Chronic fatigue
Digestive issues
Hormonal imbalances

How long does it take to see results?

The time it takes to see results can vary depending on your specific condition, the severity of symptoms, and how closely the wellness plan is followed. Some clients notice improvements within a few weeks, while others may see more gradual changes over several months. Our goal is to help you achieve sustainable health improvements.

How do Aranda Wellness and Aranda MD work together?

Our primary care and functional medicine practices are integrated to provide comprehensive health solutions. While primary care addresses immediate and routine health concerns, functional medicine adds a layer of depth by analyzing and optimizing your lifestyle, nutrition, and broader health influences. By working together, we can provide a more holistic assessment and tailored health strategy, covering all aspects of your well-being.

Can I see providers from both practices?

Absolutely. Our model is designed to ensure that all patients have the opportunity to benefit from both primary care and functional medicine approaches. Based on your health needs, preferences, and goals, we can coordinate appointments and treatments across both specialties.

What kind of conditions can this integrated approach help manage better?

This integrated approach is particularly effective in managing chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease, as well as complex conditions like autoimmune disorders, chronic pain, and fatigue syndromes. By combining the strengths of both primary care and functional medicine, we can not only treat the symptoms but also work on preventing progression and optimizing health.

How do I decide whether to start with a primary care provider or a functional medicine specialist?

If you're unsure where to begin, we recommend starting with a consultation with our primary care provider, who can conduct an initial health assessment. Based on the results and your specific concerns, you may then be referred to our functional medicine specialist for further analysis and treatment planning.

What are the benefits of having access to both primary care and functional medicine at one location?

Having both services in one location offers seamless coordination of care, with shared access to your health records, allowing for more informed decision-making and a more comprehensive health management plan. It also provides convenience and ensures that all aspects of your health are considered under one unified strategy.

Will my insurance cover services from both practices?

Coverage will depend on your specific insurance plan. We recommend checking with your provider to understand what aspects of care are covered under primary care and functional medicine. Our office staff can assist you with insurance inquiries and help you understand the potential costs involved.

What weight loss programs do you offer?
We offer a range of personalized weight loss programs designed to fit different needs and objectives. Each program is designed and supervised by doctors to ensure you reach your goals in a safety manner.

What can I expect during my first consultation?
During your initial consultation, our specialists will discuss your health history, weight loss goals, and lifestyle. We'll conduct a comprehensive assessment to recommend the most suitable program. You'll also receive information on how our protocols work, including potential benefits and considerations.

Are these weight loss treatments safe?
Safety is our top priority. All our treatment protocols, including the use of medications like Ozempic and Sermorelin, are administered under strict medical supervision following thorough health evaluations. We ensure that each client receives care tailored to their health needs and conditions.

How do I know if I am a candidate for your weight loss programs?
Ideal candidates for our weight loss programs are individuals looking for a structured approach to losing weight and improving their overall health. We invite you to book a consultation to determine the best approach tailored to your individual needs and medical profile.

How soon can I see results from the weight loss program?
Results can vary based on the individual's body response, the specific program followed, and adherence to the plan. Most clients begin to see noticeable changes within a few weeks of starting their personalized program, with continuous improvement over time.

Do you use Semaglutide, commonly known under the brand name Ozempic?

Yes, we do use Semaglutide, in some of our weight loss treatment protocols. Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication that primarily helps manage blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes but has also been found effective for weight loss. It works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in regulating appetite and food intake, which can lead to reduced hunger and calorie intake.

How is Ozempic used in your weight loss program?
In our weight loss programs, Ozempic is used under strict medical supervision. It is typically prescribed for individuals who may benefit from its appetite suppression properties and its ability to improve glycemic control. Before starting any medication, including Ozempic, we conduct a thorough evaluation to ensure it's appropriate based on your medical history, health status, and weight loss goals.

What should I expect when using Ozempic for weight loss?
Patients using Ozempic can expect to see a gradual decrease in their appetite, leading to a reduction in calorie intake and weight loss over time. The treatment plan also includes lifestyle modifications, dietary advice, and regular follow-ups to monitor progress and make adjustments as necessary.

Are there any side effects of using Ozempic?
Like all medications, Ozempic can have side effects. The most common ones include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, and constipation. Serious side effects are rare but can occur, which is why it's important to be under medical supervision while using this medication.

How does Ozempic help in weight loss?
Ozempic is a prescription medication that regulates insulin levels and helps reduce hunger. It is often prescribed as part of a comprehensive weight loss plan for individuals who may benefit from its effects on blood sugar levels and appetite suppression. Ozempic is used under strict medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.

What is hormonal imbalance?

Hormonal imbalance occurs when there is too much or too little of one or more hormones in the bloodstream. Because hormones play an essential role in regulating various bodily functions, an imbalance can significantly affect your overall health.

What are common symptoms of hormonal imbalance in women?

Women may experience irregular menstrual cycles, weight gain, fatigue, acne, decreased libido, mood swings, and difficulties with fertility. Symptoms can vary widely depending on which hormones are imbalanced.

What are common symptoms of hormonal imbalance in men?

Men might notice symptoms such as low libido, erectile dysfunction, hair loss, reduced muscle mass, fatigue, and mood changes. Like women, the specific symptoms in men depend on the hormones affected.

How do you diagnose hormonal imbalances?

Diagnosis typically begins with a detailed medical history and a physical examination. Blood tests are commonly used to measure hormone levels. Other diagnostic tools might include saliva tests, urine tests, or imaging studies, depending on the symptoms and the suspected underlying issues.

What treatment options are available for hormonal imbalances?

Treatment varies based on the specific hormones involved and the individual's symptoms. Options may include hormone replacement therapy, lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, supplements, and medications that address hormone production or absorption.

Is hormone replacement therapy safe?

Hormone replacement therapy has been used safely for years but it is not suitable for everyone. It's important to have a thorough evaluation and discuss the potential benefits and risks with your healthcare provider.

How long does it take to see results from treatment?

The time it takes to see improvements can vary widely among individuals and depends on the treatment approach. Some patients notice changes within a few weeks, while others may take several months to experience significant improvements.

Can hormonal imbalances be prevented?

While not all hormonal imbalances can be prevented, healthy lifestyle choices can reduce the risk and mitigate the severity of imbalances. Regular check-ups can also help catch imbalances early when they are often easier to manage.

What are the steps if I suspect I have a hormonal imbalance?

If you suspect a hormonal imbalance, it's important to contact us to make an appointment for a comprehensive assessment, and further evaluation to design a personalized treatment plan.
