Problems We Treat

Performance enhancement: Intravenous antioxidant and vitamin cocktails can improve recovery, and help athletes withstand stress. We stay up-to-date on the latest research regarding nutritional supplements, and offer many personalized options in combination with complete preventative health management.

Fatigue and Energy Problems

Overtraining or improper training can deplete the body of essential factors for health and performance: malnutrition, adrenal burnout, hormone imbalances and various nutritional deficiencies are common causes of fatigue, and we have experience identifying the problem, and treating the cause. We do gold standard hormone testing, to determine if there are imbalances; for example, high cortisol can decrease testosterone and growth hormone levels, we therefore employ methods to decrease the cortisol naturally.

Poor Recovery

Poor recovery is usually caused by hormone imbalances, overtraining or nutritional deficiencies. Occasionally low antioxidant levels in the body can increase the prevalence of muscle pain. We offer testing to determine your anti-oxidant levels, as well as nutritional deficiencies, and specifically supplement to increase health and recovery.

Fractures

Stress fractures often have an underlying cause such as low estrogen, vitamin D deficiency or mineral deficiencies, and these can be addressed herbally, with supplements, homeopathy, and nutritional IVs.

Gastrointestinal Problems

Athletes make sure they are eating enough calories for workouts and training, but, since we are what we eat, the gut must also be healthy so it can absorb necessary nutrients for rebuilding, energy, and optimal health. Parasites, food allergies, gluten intolerance and malabsorption syndrome are common in many people, including athletes. Poor digestion can lead to discomfort, fatigue and malnutrition is some cases, and we offer specific testing to address parasites, absorption ability and digestive efficiency.

Allergies

High inflammation levels in the body are connected to most diseases. Allergies are from inflammation, and when they affect performance you need fast solutions. Inflammation can also cause long recovery, decreased energy, and more pain. By addressing the underlying causes of the inflammation (infections, food sensitivities, stress) performance increases.

Vitamin Deficiencies

As our food supply decreases in nutritional value, more vitamin and mineral deficiencies become prevalent. You may not be expressing the full symptoms associated with something like scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) but easy bruising, stress, fatigue, and frequent infections and injury are signs of subacute vitamin C deficiency. Everyone’s body metabolizes differently, and we do testing to make sure you have appropriate levels of nutrients, vitamins and minerals to be functioning at the top of your game, based on your lifestyle and genetics.

Services offered at Bodhi Body include:

Specialized Laboratory Testing

Scientific assessment of hormone levels and other biochemical markers helps us determine the most efficient way to support your body.

Supplement Packages

Certain herbs and supplements have been proven to increase energy, decrease fatigue and recovery time, and help regulate hormone levels without dangerous or unwanted side effects. We design a program for you, and package them into packets to make them easier to travel with, and take correctly so you don’t need to worry about what to take and when for the effect to be maximized.

PRP Prolotherapy

A state of the art procedure used to rebuild joints without surgery and long recovery times. A patient's own blood is removed, spun down in a special centrifuge to concentrate platelets and growth factors, and re-injected into the injured joint. The body's own building blocks are used to tighten and strengthen tendons and ligaments, and to rebuild cartilage.

Nutritional IV

Nutritional Intravenous Therapy "Ingenious IV's" are the optimal way to administer specific nutritional mixtures to patients for both the treatment and prevention of disease. Bodhi Body has spent years of diligent investigation into the quality of ingredients, purity, mixtures, doses, administration styles, and administration rates of specific nutrients to be most safe and effective against specific conditions and diseases. The "Ingenious IV's" are a means to provide your body the support it needs for optimal functioning. Why intravenous and not oral? Many people today have numerous factors that are not supportive of the body's ability to absorb nutrition via the gastrointestinal tract (stomach, small intestines, etc). Stress, chronic inflammation, age, dysbiosis (improper balance of healthy bacteria), and food additives can all decrease a person's ability to absorb oral nutrients making it difficult to bring about a physiological change in the body. The intravenous (IV) administration of nutrients bypasses digestion, absorption issues, and processing by the liver allowing the administration of precise amounts of nutrition into the circulation. This IV administration of precise amounts during precise times accomplishes the physiological changes necessary to achieve your health goals.
