Frequent Questions

  • Medical professionals have relied on IV therapy as a safe and respected method of delivering fluids, medications, and nutrients for more than 100 years.

    IV nutrient therapy is comprised of a combination of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that target your specific needs. Infusing the therapy directly into your bloodstream bypasses the gastrointestinal system, which is better for absorption and eliminates the possibility of stomach upset.

  • Medical Director Eugene Rajaratnam, MD, can customize the exact IV treatment that is right for you. Here are some of the concerns IV nutrition therapy can address:

    • Fatigue
    • Dehydration
    • Hangover
    • Endurance
    • Detoxification
    • Skin, hair and nail conditions
    • Digestion
    • Immune system boost
    • Tissue repair
    • Recovery from illness, injury or surgery

    Even if you have a feeling of general malaise or just don’t feel “quite yourself,” IV nutrient therapy can help you feel your best.

  • IV nutrient therapy is a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Once you are settled into a comfortable chair at the California Wellness Institute, Dr. Rajaratnam will insert a very small IV needle into your vein. For the next 20-60 minutes, you can relax until the infusion is complete. During this time, you can read, nap, listen to music or browse your phone. You will likely experience immediate benefits from the infusion, including feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and energized.

    Some patients require a series of IV nutrient therapy sessions to achieve optimal results. Dr. Rajaratnam will recommend the right treatment for you.

  • There are many reasons a person might have hormonal imbalance or decline. While menopause is one of the most common causes of hormonal decline, men also experience a decline in hormone production as they age. No matter the cause, a hormonal imbalance can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including:

    • Weight gain or trouble losing weight
    • Loss of muscle mass
    • Fatigue
    • Hot flashes and night sweats
    • Mood changes and irritability
    • Depression and anxiety
    • Disrupted sleep or insomnia
    • Memory loss and reduced concentration
    • Loss of libido
    • Painful sex (vaginal dryness)
    • Erectile dysfunction

    You don’t need to accept any of these conditions as a normal part of aging.

  • You’ll start with a thorough consultation, physical exam and blood tests provided by Dr. Rajaratnam. He will inquire about your symptoms, medical history, overall health and lifestyle. Blood tests will reveal any hormonal imbalances as well as other conditions that could cause similar symptoms.

    If a hormonal imbalance is the root cause of your symptoms, Dr. Rajaratnam will prescribe a bioidentical hormone replacement regimen. Depending on your needs, he may recommend an oral medication, implant or topical cream. You will follow-up with Dr. Rajaratnam regularly to review your symptoms, reevaluate your hormone levels, and adjust your dose as needed.

  • Yes. Anyone who has a history of blood clots should not use BHRT. Additionally, it is not recommended for women who have unexplained vaginal bleeding or a history of breast, ovarian, or endometrial cancer.
