Here at Nava Health, we’re constantly preaching the importance of proactive health, longevity, and balance to our clients. But here’s the thing: I’m also walking the same path, learning, adapting, and striving to make each year healthier than the last.
As we head into 2025, I’m sharing my top five functional health hacks not just as a practitioner but as someone navigating the complexities of staying healthy while juggling career, family, and the natural shifts of aging.
1. Weekly IV Therapy for Energy and Vitality
One of my cornerstone hacks for 2025 is committing to weekly IV therapy. Nava Health recently introduced customized IV blends tailored to unique complaints and conditions, and I’m taking full advantage of this innovation. Whether the energy boost I get from our Energy IV or the micronutrient support to keep my immune system strong, this is my go-to for staying energized and sharp.
To complement the IV sessions, I’ll be incorporating IM (intramuscular) injections as part of my routine. These quick and effective boosts ensure I get essential vitamins and nutrients to stay on top of my game, like B12 for energy or glutathione for detoxification.
2. Prioritizing Skin Health
Internal health goals often overshadow skin health, but not in my world. For 2025, I’m bringing the same diligence to my skin health regimen as I do to my overall health. That means regular PRX Derm Perfexion treatments to boost collagen production and rejuvenate my skin, paired with monthly HydraFacials to keep my skin hydrated, glowing, and free from environmental damage.
Why the focus on skin? Because skin health isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s a reflection of overall wellness. As someone deeply rooted in longevity medicine, I’ve learned that taking care of your skin is as essential as any other aspect of self-care.
3. Staying Active and Pain-Free
As I move deeper into my middle-aged years, staying active is non-negotiable. I love running, hiking, and yoga, but I’m also more attuned to the wear and tear these activities can have on my body. That’s where acupuncture and Equiscope therapy come in.
Acupuncture helps me manage stress, improve circulation, and address any aches or pains before they become problematic. Equiscope therapy, on the other hand, has been a game-changer for targeted pain relief and recovery. It’s non-invasive, incredibly effective, and keeps me doing the activities I love without relying on medications or considering surgical options.
4. Consistent NAD+ Therapy
NAD+ therapy deserves a category of its own. This powerful treatment supports cellular health, boosts energy, and improves mental clarity. With NAD levels declining each year as we age, boosting those levels is about as literal as it gets for anti-aging. For me, incorporating regular NAD+ IV therapy into my routine ensures I’m functioning at my best mentally and physically and staying ahead of the aging curve.
5. Committing to Longevity
Longevity medicine isn’t just my career; it’s my passion. Everything I do, from weekly IV therapy to consistent skin health routines, acupuncture, and Equiscope therapy, is part of a broader commitment to aging well.
For me, 2025 is about consistency. It’s about making my health and the regimen that supports my health part of my routine so that I can thrive, not just survive, as the years go by.
So, here’s to a healthier, more vibrant 2025!
