Clear, helpful answers to the most common questions about functional medicine, advanced diagnostics, IV therapy, peptides, regenerative medicine, weight loss, and our integrative approach to healing.
If you don’t see your question here, our team is always happy to help.
General Questions
What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine is a systems-based approach that looks at why symptoms occur, not just where they occur. We examine how your gut, hormones, mitochondria, immune system, inflammation, stress physiology, detox pathways, circulation, and nervous system interact and influence your health.
The goal is to identify root contributors to symptoms and build a personalized plan that supports balance, resilience, and long-term wellness.
How is InfusaLounge different from a regular doctor's office?
We provide:
- Longer, more thorough visits (60–90 minutes for initial consultations)
- Whole-person, whole-system evaluation
- Advanced diagnostics not typically offered in standard practices
- Personalized protocols tailored to your unique biology
- Integrative therapies to support recovery and resilience
- A calm, supportive, patient-focused environment
Are you a medical spa or a functional medicine clinic?
InfusaLounge is a functional and integrative medicine clinic offering:
- Licensed medical supervision
- Advanced diagnostics (GI-MAP, DUTCH, TM Flow, and more)
- IV nutrient therapy and NAD+
- Ozone therapy, HBOT, red light therapy
- Peptide therapy and hormone optimization
- EPIC Upper Cervical alignment
- Regenerative therapies (PRP, Exosomes)
- Medically supervised weight loss
Do you accept insurance?
We do not bill insurance directly. Many patients use HSA/FSA funds for diagnostics and therapies—check with your plan administrator for eligibility.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can schedule directly by calling our office or booking online.
Do you work with my primary care doctor or specialists?
Yes. We collaborate with your existing healthcare providers whenever appropriate to ensure coordinated care.

Do therapies replace medical treatment?
No. Our therapies support recovery, resilience, and functional systems—while coexisting with traditional medical care. We collaborate with your other providers as needed.
Are IV therapies safe?
Yes. IV therapies are administered by trained nurses using medical-grade ingredients and established protocols.
How long do IV treatments take?
Most IV infusions take 45–60 minutes depending on the formulation. NAD+ and ozone MAH protocols may take longer (1–3 hours).

Most patients feel only a brief pinch during the IV insertion. Our nurses are experienced in gentle, comfortable placement.
Can I drive after therapy?
Yes, for most therapies. Certain protocols may leave you feeling tired, so your nurse will advise you accordingly.
Peptides, HBOT, NAD+ & Ozone
What is peptide therapy?
Peptides are targeted, bioidentical signaling molecules that support:
- Cellular repair and tissue healing
- Metabolic balance
- Immune modulation
- Inflammation reduction
- Sleep and cognitive clarity
- Gut repair
Examples offered: BPC-157, TB-500, TA-1, CJC/Ipamorelin, GHK-Cu, Epitalon, DSIP, Selank/Semax, AOD-9604.
What is NAD+ therapy?
NAD+ is a coenzyme essential for:
- Energy production at the cellular level
- Mitochondrial function
- Cellular repair and DNA maintenance
- Cognitive performance and mental clarity
Dosing is customized based on your needs and tolerance.
What is HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy)?
HBOT involves breathing oxygen in a pressurized chamber to support:
- Tissue oxygenation and healing
- Neurological recovery
- Circulation improvement
- Immune modulation
What is ozone therapy and what options do you offer?
Ozone therapy may support immune system balance, microcirculation, oxygen utilization, and inflammation reduction. We offer:
What is EPIC Upper Cervical?
A precise, imaging-guided neurological alignment method that supports:
