Dr. Brooks believes the internal process of aging is equally important to the visual and external process of aging. Internal aging is referred to as what most consider to be 'par for the course' and that it is normal to battle fatigue, illness, and pain as we grow older. Each stage of life is equally important and may require a variable spectrum of treatments to maintain optimal health.  Dr. Brooks personalizes every treatment for each patient to promote health restoration and prevention of disease.  Optimal results can be achieved through utilization of Naturopathic (holistic) medicine, Chinese medicine (acupuncture), conventional medicine, and lifestyle modifications. Nutritional IV therapy can be used solely or in addition to most conventional and natural medicine treatment protocols to treat a variety of conditions with great success. IV therapy can also be incorporated into a normal routine for athletes to increase stamina and performance for endurance and strength training. It is essential for athletes to replenish vitamins, minerals, and amino acids regularly to keep up with the body's demand during periods of high activity. Benefits of IV therapy include increasing stamina, decreased recovery time and injury prevention.
