As the seasons change and the weather turns colder, many people want to know how to improve immune function.
In Kansas City, it’s actually pretty easy! At Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics, we have a range of options to support your immune system and overall health.
Year-Round Immune Support
Let’s get one thing straight: cold weather is not actually the culprit for the rise in illness between September and May, or at least not in the way you may think.
When the weather drops, people stay inside more and are in closer proximity to one another, making it easy to spread the 200+ viruses responsible for common cold symptoms like coughing, sneezing, and fatigue.
But that threat is present all year round, through the sunshine and the snowfall. With this in mind, you should always be thinking about how to improve your immune function. Fortunately, our team at Regain is, and we offer these services all year long.
Hormone Replacement Therapy for Immune Support
Your hormones influence your immune system. Sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone enhance immune cell activity, helping your body fight off infections and illness to keep you healthy.
As you age, your body produces less estrogen and testosterone, especially during life stages like menopause and andropause. Hormone replacement therapy and testosterone replacement therapy can replenish these hormones, improving immune function so you can enjoy each changing season.
IV Therapy
Your body relies on nutrients like vitamins and minerals to support its immune function. Our IV nutrition drips deliver antioxidants directly to your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system so they can reach your cells more quickly for maximum absorption.
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals and protect your body from oxidative stress which can lead to cellular damage and weaken your immune system.
We recommend our “Ultimate IV” which combines the minerals magnesium, zinc, manganese, copper, and selenium with vitamin C and B-vitamins to fortify your immune system and protect you from viruses and bacteria all year long.
