Are You Tired Of...

If you've been struggling with chronic health issues and nothing seems to work, you're not alone. Here's what most patients experience before finding us:

Feeling Drained & Depleted

  • Constant fatigue that never goes away
  • Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
  • Weakened immune system—always getting sick
  • Low energy despite sleeping enough

Treatments That Miss the Point

  • Being told "your labs are normal" but still feeling awful
  • Doctors who only treat symptoms, not causes
  • Generic supplements that don't help
  • Feeling dismissed by traditional medicine

Real Patients. Real Results.

Why Our Approach Is Different

We don't guess—we test. Using Nutrition Response Testing and comprehensive assessments, we identify exactly what your body needs.

IV Nutrition Therapy

  • Direct Absorption: Nutrients bypass digestion for 100% bioavailability
  • Custom Formulas: High-dose Vitamin C, B vitamins, Magnesium, and minerals
  • Faster Results: Feel the difference in days, not weeks
  • Spa-Like Setting: Relax while your body absorbs what it needs

Why IV? A sick body doesn't absorb nutrients well. IV therapy forces your body to accept the vitamins it needs, making it stronger to fight off illness and restore balance.

Nicole's Story

"I feel WORLDS different! Way less inflammation and feel way healthier."

Nicole came after seeing her primary care doctor, an allergist, and a dermatologist with no help for her painful rash. Now her rash is gone, inflammation has calmed, and her energy and mental clarity are returning.

Michelle's Story

"I tried several doctors to figure out why I couldn't sleep. Nothing was helping… until Lifeworks."

Michelle was exhausted with chronic fatigue, burning feet, and sleepless nights. After completing our Parasite and Adrenal Stress Detox, she now sleeps through the night and has her energy back.

Ruth's Story

"I really didn't have any more hope in direction. But now everything is coming back!"

Ruth dealt with bronchial infections every winter, missing work, and constantly running out of energy. Now she's had her first winter without a bronchial infection, her energy is back, and she's losing weight.

Clare's Story

"My skin is now clear, the fatigue and brain fog are gone."

We start with a thorough evaluation of your health history, symptoms, and goals. This includes Nutrition Response Testing to identify hidden deficiencies and imbalances.

2

Personalized Protocol

Based on your assessment, we create a custom nutrition plan that may include IV therapy, targeted supplements, and dietary recommendations specific to YOUR body.

Meet Dr. Matt Gianforte

D.C., Integrative Health Specialist

Dr. Gianforte founded LifeWorks with a passion for getting to the root cause of health issues. He combines traditional chiropractic care with modern integrative approaches including IV nutrition and Nutrition Response Testing.

"Most chronic illnesses stem from the lack of vitamins and minerals your body needs. We're constantly bombarded with processed foods that don't have the elements needed for a strong body. My goal is to restore what's missing and help your body heal itself."

Common Questions

IV Nutrition delivers a concentrated mixture of essential vitamins and minerals directly into your bloodstream. This bypasses the digestive system, allowing for 100% absorption. It's especially beneficial for people whose bodies don't absorb nutrients well through food or oral supplements.

Each IV is customized to your needs, but typically includes high-dose Vitamin C, B vitamins (B12, B complex), Magnesium, Calcium, and specific minerals your body needs. We use Nutrition Response Testing to determine exactly what your body requires.

The nutrients typically last 4-5 days in your system, which is why weekly infusions are often recommended initially. As your body strengthens and begins to absorb nutrients better, we can often reduce the frequency.

Nutrition Response Testing is a non-invasive system of analyzing the body to determine the underlying causes of ill health. It helps us identify which organs or systems are stressed and exactly which nutrients your body needs to heal.

Most IV nutrition services are self-pay, but we accept HSA/FSA funds and offer flexible payment plans. Many patients find the investment worthwhile given the significant improvements in their health and quality of life.
