How IV Therapy Supports Mental Health Care at Koru Wellness

Why nourishing the body helps calm the mind.

At Koru Wellness, we believe mental health care is most effective when it supports the whole person. When someone is dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or chronic stress, their body often shows signs of depletion long before their mind does. Fatigue, irritability, poor sleep, low motivation, and brain fog are all signals that the system is running low on the nutrients it needs to function well.

This is why IV nutrient therapy has become such a valuable tool in our clinic. By delivering vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and hydration directly into the bloodstream, IV therapy bypasses digestion and allows the body to absorb these nutrients fully. For many people—especially those who struggle with absorption issues or persistent deficiency—this can make a significant difference in how they feel day to day.

Why IV Therapy Matters for Mental Health

There’s a strong connection between nutrient levels and mood regulation. When the body is chronically depleted, the brain struggles to produce neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA. Stress becomes harder to manage. Emotional balance becomes harder to maintain. Even small tasks can feel overwhelming.

IV therapy helps replenish what long-term stress has drained. When people finally get the nutrients they’ve been missing, they often notice subtle but meaningful changes: clearer thinking, more stable energy, more patience, and the ability to participate more fully in therapy or daily life. It’s not a cure-all—but it can give the nervous system the support it needs to do its job.

How IV Therapy Works With Psychiatric Care

Many clients come to us saying something like, “I’m doing the work, but I’m still tired and stuck.”This is often where IV therapy shines.

Here’s how it works alongside traditional care:

• Magnesium infusions can ease anxiety, muscle tension, and sleep issues.

• Vitamin C helps reduce oxidative stress, which can worsen depression.

• B-complex vitamins boost energy and help stabilize mood.

• Amino acids support neurotransmitter pathways.

• NAD+ helps with cellular repair, fatigue, and cognitive clarity.

  
  

Instead of fighting your symptoms with an empty tank, IV therapy helps refill the system—so therapy and ketamine work more effectively.

A Personalized Approach to IV Therapy

Every person’s needs are different, which is why we customize IV treatments based on symptoms, labs, and overall goals. For some, magnesium and B-vitamins help calm anxiety and support mood. For others, glutathione helps reduce inflammation and improve cognitive function. NAD+ can be especially helpful for people struggling with fatigue or feeling mentally “burnt out.” The goal is simple: give your system what it needs so your mind has room to function well again.

A Whole-Person Path to Feeling Well

IV therapy is one piece of a larger puzzle. When combined with therapy, medical care, nutrition, lifestyle changes, and ketamine-assisted therapy, it helps create a path toward long-term wellbeing—one that supports both the mind and the body.
