Toronto Functional Medicine Centre Explores the Use of NAD IV Therapy for Fertility

Jun 23, 2022

Toronto, Ontario -

June 23, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Toronto Functional Medicine Centre in Toronto (TFMC) ON, Canada, has announced that they have recently published a blog post that examines the use of NAD IV therapy for fertility. NAD is a coenzyme that helps in the maintenance of healthy cells and the immune response. There are several benefits from NAD, such as: cell health replenishment, and chemical reactions; converting nutrients into energy for metabolism; promoting cellular energy production; helping to repair DNA damage; and improving cellular resiliency. However, NAD levels start to decrease with age, which can result in sarcopenia, cognitive decline, mitochondrial dysfunction, metabolic disease, and possibly even reduce the chances of getting pregnant.

Studies have found that NAD-related treatments may help women in getting pregnant during their reproductive aging. This is due to the potential impact of NAD on mitochondrial function and in the health of oocytes or the undeveloped eggs in the ovarian follicles. Studies have shown that mitochondrial dysfunction due to lower levels of NAD plays a vital role in both age-induced and environment-induced infertility. In addition, studies have revealed that oocyte quality declines as the levels of metabolic cofactor NAD decrease.

One of the possible ways of increasing NAD levels in the body is through intravenous (IV) therapy. This requires an IV therapy drip with a saline-based solution to be inserted into the patient’s blood flow, which allows the NAD to be readily absorbed by the body. The NAD delivered through an IV provides complete absorption because the cells get instant access to the therapeutic dosage of NAD.

At the TFMC, they are ready to help with the patient’s fertility health, using the philosophy that every patient is a unique entity. Thus, the functional medicine treatments they provide are always ensured to be tailored and fitted to the patient’s biology. Their integrative patient care is made up of naturopathy, allopathic medicine, intravenous therapy, and acupuncture. Their IV infusion therapies are all intended for supporting cellular function, energy levels, and optimal health. The IV drips they provide can also be customized with essential vitamins that may help support mental health concerns, athletic performance, chronic fatigue syndrome, brain health, and other health issues.

Meanwhile, NAD IV therapy may also help in improving cognitive performance, including memory, focus, and overall brain health. This is because research has shown that various cellular functions depend on NAD. For instance, on a cellular level, NAD plays an important role in triggering metabolic chemical reactions, such as the production of cellular energy. NAD may also protect against mitochondrial malfunction and thus promote better brain health, thus enhancing how people understand, think, and memorize.

NAD levels decline with age, which is why aging people tend to be forgetful. Studies have revealed that NAD may help in activating sirtuins, which are the enzymes that play a role in cognition and provide protection from neurodegenerative disease. By increasing NAD levels in a patient, it may be possible to enhance the function of sirtuins and help with improving cognitive performance.

The Toronto Functional Medicine Centre employs an integrative functional medicine strategy, where they integrate functional medicine methods with restorative medicine, including bio-identical hormone replacement, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) or Eastern medicine, homeopathic medicine, herbal medicine, and more. They use functional medicine and alternative therapies for various types of health issues, such as: neuropathic pain, chronic disease, hormone imbalances, acute health issues, postmenopausal health issues, and more. The health conditions that they may offer some assistance with include: cellular damage, chronic fatigue, tissue repair, mineral deficiencies, DNA repair, athletic recovery, immune function, thyroid conditions, infertility, skin rejuvenation, adrenal function, and others.

Those who are interested in learning more about the various IV therapy services in Toronto, including how to improve cognitive performance with NAD IV therapy, can visit the TFMC website, or contact them on the telephone (416) 968-6961 or through email at [email protected].

Fernandez reaches Singapore Open final

SINGAPORE — Leylah Fernandez reached her first WTA final of the year after the Canadian recovered from a poor start to beat Poland's Maja Chwalinska in the Singapore Tennis Open on Saturday night. The sixth seed dropped the first five games of the semifinal against her fifth-seeded opponent but came back strongly to win 1-6, 6-4, 6-2 to set up a final against unseeded Australian Talia Gibson on Sunday. Gibson advanced to her first WTA final after her semifinal opponent Tatiana Prozorova was forced to withdraw from the tournament due to the WTA's concussion protocol. Fernandez was broken in all four of her service games in the opening set by fellow left-hander Chwalinska. Galvanized by vocal support, the Canadian raised her game in the second set and earned a crucial break to take a 5-4 lead before holding serve to level the match. The world number 31 then broke Chwalinska twice, and set up match point with an ace before firing a powerful backhand down the line to secure victory in two hours and eight minutes. It will be Fernandez's first WTA final since she won last year's Japan Open. The unseeded Prozorova stunned third seed Alexandrea Eala in the round of 16 on Thursday and then beat China's Wang Xinyu in a gruelling three-set quarterfinal the next day. However, the Russian was struck in the face by the ball while playing in the doubles quarterfinals later on Friday. Prozorova had to withdraw from that match and then had to sit out the singles semifinal after the WTA physiotherapist diagnosed her with concussion. The WTA said players diagnosed with concussion cannot compete until they complete a graduated return-to-play protocol and receive medical clearance.

A'ja Wilson wins AP WNBA Player of the Year for 3rd straight year; Angel Reese top defensive player

NEW YORK — A'ja Wilson is in a class by herself, winning the AP's WNBA Player of the Year award for an unprecedented third straight year. Wilson received 15 of the 17 first-place votes from a national media panel Sunday. She topped Olivia Miles of Minnesota as well as Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell of Indiana, who all had stellar seasons. “It’s big. It's an honor for me to do it three times in a row. It’s not easy,” Wilson said in a phone interview. “My counterparts in this league are really good. I don’t take it lightly because of how much talent we do have in this league." It's the fourth time that Wilson has won the AP award, breaking a tie with Breanna Stewart for most since the awards were first given in 2016. “That’s got a nice ring to it,” Wilson said. “That’s pretty cool.” The AP voting is done by a 17-member panel that votes on the power poll each week. It’s the 11th year of the awards. The WNBA will announce its postseason awards over the course of the playoffs, which begin Sunday. Wilson is a huge favorite to win the WNBA MVP for the third straight season. Wilson once again led the league in scoring (26.2) while shooting nearly 53% from the field. She also averaged 9.4 rebounds, a career-best 3.2 assists and 1.9 blocks. Angel Reese dethroned Wilson as the AP Defensive Player of the Year. Wilson had won the award in three of the last four seasons. Reese made the most of her move to Atlanta this offseason. She was third in the league in steals and had the versatility to guard most positions defensively. She also topped the league in rebounds for the third consecutive season. Miles had an incredible first season and was honored as the AP Rookie of the Year as a unanimous choice. The No. 2 pick in the draft by the Lynx averaged 19.8 points, 6.0 assists and 4.7 rebounds to help Minnesota finish with the best record in the league. She set the WNBA record for points by a rookie, surpassing Clark's from 2024. Miles was joined on the AP All-Rookie team by Dallas' Azzi Fudd, Chicago's Sydney Taylor, Seattle's Flau'jae Johnson, New York's Pauline Astier and Toronto's Kiki Rice. Wilson, Clark, Miles and Mitchell headlined the AP All-WNBA first team. They were joined by New York's Stewart. Reese was on the second team along with teammate Rhyne Howard, Dallas' Paige Bueckers, Las Vegas' Jackie Young and Golden State's Gabby Williams. Other AP winners included: — Coach of the Year: Cheryl Reeve. It's the third time the Lynx coach has won the award, also being honored in 2020 and 2024. She guided the team to the No. 1 seed in the playoffs while it was missing superstar Napheesa Collier for the first half of the season when she recovered from offseason surgery on both her ankles. Reeve beat out Golden State's Natalie Nakase and Washington's Sydney Johnson. — Comeback Player of the Year: Clark. The Fever guard missed much of last season with a variety of injuries. She came back strong this year, playing in 40 games. She averaged 22.3 points, 8.3 assists and 4.0 rebounds. Washington's Georgia Amoore and Chicago's Courtney Vandersloot also received votes. — Most Improved Player: Jessica Shepard. The Dallas Wings forward came to the team as a free agent and excelled. Shepard averaged career highs in points (14.5), rebounds (11.1), assists (5.3) and minutes (31.7). Shepard had six triple-doubles this season. Washington's Shakira Austin and Seattle Dominique Malonga were next in the balloting. — Sixth Woman of the Year: Janelle Salaun. The Valkyries forward came off the bench in all 40 games she played this season and averaged 12.7 points and 4.0 rebounds while shooting 39.2% from behind the 3-point line. She led all reserves in scoring this season and the Golden State bench averaged over 36 points a game. Marine Johannes of New York was next in the voting.
