As a lifelong traveler, I have always sought to experience as much of the world as I can. In recent years, my focus has been to help people achieve a more active and fulfilling lifestyle, whether on the road or at home. I put my overall wellness routine first, no matter where I am. I make sure to get the proper amount of sleep, sunlight and hydration in order to be at my best.
However, my healthy routine can sometimes take a back seat due to weekend trips to Michigan football games, family getaways and business travel. That’s exactly why I do what I do. People should feel free to do more of what they love both at home and on the road. Everyone should have access to wellness services no matter where they are, so they can improve their healthspan. To achieve this, individual diet and exercise routines should be expanded to include therapies like cryotherapy, mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy and intramuscular (IM) shots.
What Is an IM shot?
An IM shot is an injection of vitamins, minerals or specific medications typically administered into the deltoid muscle of the arm, allowing for the supplement to be absorbed into the bloodstream quickly. It is not a hydration boost like IV therapy; it takes a fraction of the time to administer while offering rapid and uniform absorption (versus oral or subcutaneous routes).
An IM shot is able to deliver a larger volume of supplements because muscles have a larger intake than veins. This is why it can be beneficial for people who live busy lifestyles or who struggle to find time to provide their body with what it needs. IM shots can quickly provide relief to common ailments, resulting in a better, healthier body.
Think of an IM shot as an express route to wellness, one that avoids the digestive process and allows for 100% of the supplement to be utilized by the body. There are a variety of IM shots on the market at the moment, including: B-12, Lipo-C, B-Complex, Vitamin D, Biotin, Immune Blends, Amino Blends, Toradol (a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug administered for chronic pain) and Zofran (an anti-nausea drug used primarily to treat chemotherapy and radiation patients).
IM Shots and Wellness
IM shots represent an approach to wellness that is still new to many, but allows for certain ailments to be addressed and treated quickly and efficiently. In this ever-changing world, it can be hard for consumers to take care of their bodies and provide them with what they need. The main objective behind IM shots and similar treatments is to increase healthspan for a prolonged quality of life. IM shots are one way to effectively give the body nutrients in a safe and healthy way, contributing to someone's overall quality of life.
All too often, our wellness routines are put on the back burner when work is stressful, home life is overwhelming and family or trips are draining. As many people have learned over the years, the break from the at-home routine is often associated with compromised immunity. Fortunately, that is changing, and maintaining balance between work, play and wellness can be achieved with quick and affordable options.
