Why Hydration is So Important with HRT and GLP-1 Treatments
Whether one is in HRT or being administered with GLP-1, hydration is important. Herein explains why hydration may make a huge difference in how you will be feeling and how well your therapy works.
Improvement in Absorption and Efficacy
When you are well-hydrated, absorption of HRT and GLP-1 treatments into the body is effective and thus allows you to get the maximum benefit from your therapy. It’s another way of giving your blood its best chance of delivering these treatments where they are needed.
Dehydration Risks
Some medications, such as those involved in HRT and GLP-1 therapies, have a diuretic effect, which will predispose you to dehydration. Staying on top of your water intake can help balance out this effect and keep your body in good working order while you’re on your treatment plan.
Helping Your Body’s Natural Detox Process
Hydration helps support the liver and kidneys, two organs critical for hormone balance. Drinking enough water supports optimal functioning of these organs by moving toxins, wastes, and allowing the keeping of a stable hormone environment.
Minimizing Side Effects
Dehydration can manifest in headaches, dizziness, and fatigue, just making it way harder to follow your treatment. In any case it can minimize a great deal of these side effects, so you’re comfortable and be adherent to their therapy.
Considering IV Hydration and Vitamins
For those on HRT or GLP-1 therapies, adding IV hydration and vitamins can give you an extra boost. It’s a way to quickly deliver fluids and nutrients directly into your bloodstream, which can help improve energy levels and overall well-being.
Putting It into Practice
Staying hydrated is more than just drinking water—it’s about giving your body the support it needs to thrive during therapies like HRT and GLP-1s. By focusing on hydration, and possibly incorporating IV options, you can help ensure better results from your treatment while feeling your best.
