You know those days when your head feels cloudy, or it’s hard to stay motivated? Oftentimes, this can be attributed to what the brain is receiving, or lacking, from our diet.
Nutritional brain fog can be related to a lack of essential nutrients in the diet. The brain needs a certain amount of nutrients in order to produce the right brain chemicals and balance your mood, improve your focus, and reduce your stress.
At Eterne Wellness, we take a whole-person approach when it comes to your mental health. That means combining the power of targeted nutrition with treatments like:

• Psychotherapy
• Medication management
• TMS
• Ketamine infusions
• Spravato

Why Getting Nutrients Directly Can Help More

Food is great, but stress, busy schedules, or even how your stomach works can mean less actually gets used.

• With IV, everything goes right into your blood.
• No waiting for digestion.
• Your brain receives what it desires more quickly. And when someone needs more support, we can pair IV therapy with TMS, Ketamine infusions or Spravato as part of a care plan.

The Main Nutrients Worth Paying Attention To

B Vitamins – B6, folate and also B12

• Help make serotonin and dopamine (the feel-good chemicals)
• Cut down on that tired, foggy feeling
• Give you steadier energy through the day
• Protect brain health longer-term
• You find them in eggs • spinach • chicken • beans • lentils

Magnesium

• Calms nerves when they’re wired
• Makes it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep
• Takes some of the edge off anxiety
• Helps clear thinking
• Look for it in almonds • pumpkin seeds • spinach • dark chocolate

Vitamin C

• Guards brain cells against daily damage
• Keeps blood flowing well to the brain
• Helps mood stay more even when life is stressful
• Lowers inflammation that drags you down
• Easy sources: oranges • strawberries • bell peppers • kiwi

Amino Acids (like taurine, carnitine, glutamine)

• Build neurotransmitters
• Give your brain staying power on tough days
• Help bounce back after mental drain
• Support focus and quick thinking
• These show up a lot in our performance-style infusions

These are a key part of our performance-style IV infusions.

Electrolytes (balance of magnesium, potassium, sodium)

• Stop the subtle drag from being even a little dehydrated
• Keep brain signals sharp
• Cut down on headaches and that heavy feeling
• Grab them from bananas • avocados • coconut water • greens

Antioxidants (berries, polyphenols)

• Protect against everyday wear on brain tissue
• Support memory and learning
• Build resilience when things get tough
• Best from blueberries • blackberries • green tea • a square of dark chocolate

Easy Ways to Get Started

To begin with, choose one or two ideas and do some of the following.

• Toss some spinach or berries in your morning smoothie
• Carry some nuts or seeds for a snack
• Watch your water intake and make sure you drink some before you get thirsty

Those small steps add up. But when you’re really run down, it can take longer to catch up through food alone.

Beyond Nutrition: Mental Health Treatments That Work

At Eterne Wellness, we believe true and lasting changes to mental health come from ‘layering’ multiple treatments together.

Psychotherapy

The basis of all of the changes. We can help you understand the patterns behind your stress, anxiety or low mood and give you the tools to break through.
Patients say to us all the time that therapy is the ‘piece’ that makes everything else click.

Medication Management

When medication is included in your care plan, we make sure that it is accomplishing what it is meant to.
This involves the right medication, the right dosages, and frequent check-ins so that we won’t miss anything.
We pair this with nutritional support to help your brain respond even better.

TMS

For depression that does not respond the way it should to other treatments, TMS uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain region responsible for mood.

• It’s non-invasive
• Has no systemic side effects
• The results speak for themselves

Many of our TMS patients see a significant improvement after a full course of treatment.

Ketamine Infusions

Ketamine infusions have helped many people with depression when other treatments have not worked.
Some patients notice changes after just one session. To keep you feeling your best, ketamine infusions can be added to your treatment plan.

Spravato (Esketamine)

One of the very few treatments that is approved by the FDA as a treatment of depression is Spravato.
Since it is a controlled drug, we provide it at our clinic because we will be able to monitor your treatment.

Insurance and Access

Mental health care should not be a long and stressful process.
We work with many insurance companies for treatments like Spravato, TMS, therapy, and medication management.
We want you to focus on feeling better and not worry about paperwork.
We’re happy to verify your benefits before your first visit.
This way, you will know what to expect and what your cost will be.

How IV Infusions Fit In

Our infusions put B vitamins, magnesium, vitamin C, amino acids, and electrolytes straight where they’re needed.

• You relax in the chair for about 30–60 minutes.
• A lot of people leave feeling clearer-headed and lighter the same afternoon.
• The lift can stick around for days, which gives you room to eat better and rest more.

The lift may last several days, allowing one more time to eat better and take more rest.
When your mind has felt a little off of late, maybe it feels more exhausted than normal, or it is too slow to focus, the first thought would be to start with nutrients.
Check out the IV options on our site and pick the one that sounds right.
We can chat about how you’re feeling and figure out the best fit in a quick call or visit.
Give us a ring at (725) 895-9300 or head over to eternewellness.com/iv-infusions whenever it works for you.

One can give a real boost. A few sessions spaced out often help keep things steady longer.

Does this play nice with other treatments?

Yes. We go over everything you’re doing and make sure it all lines up.
