Cellular Rejuvenation NAD IV Therapy
Our IV therapy is designed to support cellular repair, energy metabolism, and optimal mitochondrial function. Mitochondria, often called the “powerhouses of the cell,” produce over 90% of the body’s ATP (adenosine triphosphate) — the energy currency required for every muscle contraction, heartbeat, and thought.
Over time, stress, toxins, poor nutrition, and aging can impair mitochondrial efficiency, leading to fatigue, brain fog, slower recovery, and accelerated cellular aging. By delivering targeted nutrients directly into the bloodstream, our IV drips bypass the digestive system and ensure maximum bioavailability at the cellular level.
Key benefits include:
- Enhanced ATP production – fueling muscles, nerves, and organs.
- Antioxidant protection – reducing oxidative stress that damages mitochondrial membranes and DNA.
- Improved metabolic efficiency – supporting glucose and fatty acid utilization for energy
- Cellular defense and longevity – strengthening mitochondrial resilience against toxins and inflammation
Scientific studies show that compounds such as NAD⁺ can directly improve mitochondrial function by repairing enzymes in the electron transport chain, increasing antioxidant capacity, and stabilizing mitochondrial membranes. Our formulas are carefully crafted to help protect your mitochondria—keeping your cells younger, stronger, and more resilient.

Glutathione IV or shots
Glutathione IV & Injection Therapy
Glutathione is one of the body’s most powerful natural antioxidants, often referred to as the “master antioxidant.” It is present in every cell and plays a crucial role in detoxification, immune defense, and mitochondrial protection. Unfortunately, stress, illness, poor diet, and environmental toxins can rapidly deplete glutathione levels, leaving cells more vulnerable to damage.
Benefits of Glutathione IV or Injections
Cellular Detoxification
Glutathione binds to heavy metals, environmental toxins, and metabolic waste, helping the liver neutralize and remove them efficiently. This makes it essential for patients with chronic toxin exposure or oxidative stress.
Mitochondrial Protection & Energy Support
By neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutathione protects the delicate membranes and DNA inside the mitochondria. This helps sustain ATP (energy) production, reducing fatigue and supporting overall vitality.
Immune System Optimization
Glutathione strengthens white blood cell activity and supports balanced inflammation, improving the body’s resilience against infections and chronic illness.
Skin Brightening & Anti-Aging Effects
Clinical studies show glutathione can reduce oxidative stress in skin cells, leading to a clearer, brighter complexion and helping slow visible signs of aging.
Neurological & Cognitive Health
Because the brain is highly sensitive to oxidative damage, glutathione plays a key role in protecting neurons. Research suggests it supports memory, focus, and may lower risk of neurodegenerative decline.
Why IV or Injection?
Oral glutathione supplements are often poorly absorbed and quickly broken down in the digestive tract. IV and intramuscular injections deliver glutathione directly into the bloodstream, ensuring higher bioavailability and immediate cellular uptake for maximum benefit.

BIo-Cellular IV includes: Myers cocktail and NAD, 1 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy session and 1 Longevity supplement focused on your health solution. Weber Laser IV can be added on to any IV for a low additional fee to optimize your therapy session.
How It Works
Bio- Cellular IV are tiny nano vesicles (nano-sized messengers) naturally released by cells. They act like cellular communication packets, carrying proteins, growth factors, lipids, and genetic material that can influence the behavior of other cells. When delivered through an IV infusion, these extracellular vesicles circulate systemically and interact with tissues throughout the body, triggering healing, regeneration, and reduced inflammation.
Mechanism of Action
1. Cell-to-Cell Communication
Nano Vesicles transfer signaling molecules directly into target cells, activating pathways that promote repair and regeneration.
2. Mitochondrial Support
Certain exosomal contents improve mitochondrial function, boosting ATP production and protecting cells from oxidative stress.
Immune Modulation
Bio-Cellular Therapy helps regulate immune responses by calming overactive inflammation while supporting protective immune activity—important in autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, and tissue repair.
4. Tissue Repair & Regeneration
Growth factors stimulate collagen production, angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth), and cellular proliferation, helping tissues heal more efficiently.
5. Neuroprotective & Anti-Aging Effects
In the nervous system, exosomes cross the blood-brain barrier, delivering neuroprotective signals that support cognitive function, reduce neuroinflammation, and potentially slow neurodegeneration.
Benefits You May Experience
- Increased natural energy and stamina
- Faster recovery from stress, workouts, or illness
- Enhanced skin health and a more youthful glow and scientifically proven results in Anti-Aging
- Sharper mental focus and reduced brain fog

Weber Low-Level Laser IV Therapy
Weber Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also known as intravenous laser blood irradiation, is an innovative therapy that uses specific wavelengths of low-level laser light delivered directly into the bloodstream through a sterile IV fiber optic catheter. Unlike surgical or high-intensity lasers, low-level lasers do not cut or burn tissue. Instead, they stimulate cells at the mitochondrial level, enhancing energy production, circulation, and repair. The Weber low-level laser system uses different wavelengths of visible and invisible light. Each color penetrates tissues differently and produces unique biological effects. When administered intravenously, the laser light directly interacts with blood cells, plasma, and circulating biomolecules to influence systemic health.
Red Laser (≈ 630–660 nm)
- Action: Stimulates mitochondrial activity and ATP production through activation of cytochrome c oxidase.
- Benefits: Increases cellular energy, improves oxygen utilization, enhances circulation, and accelerates tissue repair.
Green Laser (≈ 532 nm)
- Action: Influences blood viscosity and microcirculation, helping red blood cells move more freely.
- Benefits: Improves blood rheology, reduces platelet aggregation (clumping), supports vascular health, and promotes detoxification.
Blue Laser (≈ 405 nm)
- Action: Strong antimicrobial wavelength with effects on bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
- Benefits: Reduces systemic microbial load, supports immune defense, decreases chronic inflammation, and may help with infections or dysbiosis.
Yellow Laser (≈ 589 nm)
- Action: Affects neurohormonal pathways and stress-regulating systems.
- Benefits: Balances mood and mental focus, supports neurotransmitter activity, reduces stress, and may enhance cognitive performance.
Infrared Laser (≈ 810–904 nm)
- Action: Penetrates deepest into tissues; modulates nitric oxide pathways and mitochondrial enzymes.
- Benefits: Improves microcirculation, reduces chronic pain, decreases oxidative stress, and supports deep tissue repair and regeneration.
Why Multiple Colors Matter
By using a full spectrum of laser wavelengths, Weber therapy can be customized for each patient’s needs—whether that is boosting energy, improving circulation, fighting infection, supporting mood, or reducing chronic pain. Combining colors allows for a synergistic effect, creating a more comprehensive systemic therapy.

How It Works
- Photobiomodulation: The laser light penetrates blood cells and plasma, stimulating mitochondria to produce more ATP (cellular energy). This process, called photobiomodulation, improves cellular metabolism and resilience.
- Improved Oxygen Utilization: Laser light helps red blood cells deliver oxygen more efficiently throughout the body, improving tissue oxygenation.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects: By reducing oxidative stress and modulating immune activity, laser therapy lowers systemic inflammation and supports healing.
- Enhanced Microcirculation: Laser stimulation increases blood flow in small vessels, improving nutrient delivery and waste removal at the cellular level.
Benefits of Weber IV Laser Therapy
- Increased natural energy and reduced fatigue
- Enhanced athletic recovery and physical performance
- Support for cardiovascular health and improved circulation
