Prostate Cancer Awareness
Prostate cancer is a common cancer in men, typically affecting those over age 50. It develops in the prostate gland, which helps produce semen. Early stages often have no symptoms, but some men may experience difficulty urinating, blood in urine or semen, or pelvic discomfort. Regular screenings, such as PSA (prostate-specific antigen) tests and digital rectal exams, can help detect it early. Treatment options vary based on the stage and may include active surveillance, surgery, radiation, or hormone therapy. During Movember, men are encouraged to grow mustaches and raise awareness about prostate cancer and men’s health.
IV Nutrient Therapy
Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy is a clinical approach that delivers vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream under professional supervision. By bypassing digestion, IV administration allows nutrients to be available for immediate cellular use. Commonly used ingredients may include vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium, glutathione, and amino acids — selected based on an individual’s health status and goals. At Uptown Integrative Health, IV nutrient therapy is one of several supportive options offered within a comprehensive, evidence-informed care plan. Treatments are always prescribed following appropriate assessment by a licensed naturopathic doctor to ensure safety, suitability, and individualized care.
