Weight loss works differently for everyone, which is why IntraVenous Solutions takes a comprehensive and personalized approach through our sustainable and evidence-based practice model, so you not only lose the weight, but maintain the results. We help you achieve your ideal weight loss through holistic and medical methods based on your medical and weight loss history.
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to weight loss; quick methods often compromise your metabolism, deplete your muscles, and are not sustainable in the long run, leading to failure because of hunger and restrictive dieting.
We prioritize responsible weight loss to help you achieve lasting results while maintaining proper nutrition and muscle mass. For certain individuals, making dietary and lifestyle changes might work, while others may need regular injections of semaglutide or tirzepatide too. Our team of licensed medical professionals is here to offer guidance and encouragement on your journey.
Find out how our weight loss injections, IV drips, and HOCATT sauna can help you support your metabolism and assist with weight loss in Nashville.
The Basics of Weight Loss: Metabolism
Many of our drips, including our NAD+ Wellness IV, support, boost, or enhance your metabolism. But what does that mean? Your metabolism refers to the process your body uses to convert food and drinks, any calories you consume, into energy. This involves 2 processes: catabolism (the breaking-down process) and anabolism (the process that builds and repairs our body).
In terms of weight loss, keeping a healthy metabolism means balancing the amount of calories you consume. Crash diets don’t work, because not eating enough calories can slow your metabolism, making it harder to burn fat. On the other hand, eating too many calories leads to weight gain because our body stores that energy as fat.
Getting adequate sleep, staying active and hydrated, and eating nutritious meals can help the overall health and balance of your metabolism.
Proper Nutrition
Following a calorie deficit, or eating fewer calories than you consume, is the only way to burn fat. Before you begin, talk to your health care provider and discuss your plans. Instead of restricting your diet, consider how to replace or incorporate healthier foods into your meals. We suggest starting with these easy additions or substitutions:
- Replacing white rice with brown rice.
- Adding a variety of fruits, even canned or frozen.
- Eating more grilled or steamed vegetables.
- Getting enough protein:
-
- Yogurt
- Eggs
- Seafoods
- Lean meats
These foods also help you stay full longer by keeping you hydrated and retaining muscle mass.
Even with a variety of foods, you may still need additional nutrition supplements. That’s why we recommend and offer routine infusions to support your weight loss in Nashville. We customize our treatments to your needs, and we also offer a selection of vitamin shots to maximize your wellness.

Exercise
The more you exercise, the more calories your body burns and uses for energy. Pairing a new diet that includes protein, fruits, and vegetables with physical activity helps you lose weight and maintain the results. We advise you to ease into a new exercise routine, or walk before you run, as the saying goes. This helps prevent burnout and over-exhaustion. Moderate aerobic exercises can still help you in your weight loss journey.
Eventually, we recommend incorporating strength training into your plan at least twice a week to help prevent bone or muscle loss from weight loss. This includes using weights or weight machines, resistance bands, or activities like indoor bouldering or rock climbing.
As you increase your physical activity, we recommend asking about our drips to provide energy and recovery before and after your workouts. Some of our IVs, including The Works, can help with joint pain, fatigue, and weakness.

Hydration
Water aids metabolism in converting food into energy for every cell in the body. Unfortunately, simply drinking water doesn’t always keep you hydrated. That’s why we recommend our Hydration IV Drip to help you maintain weight loss in Nashville and restore fluid balance.
You should also limit alcohol, as it can also deplete nutrients and cause dehydration. But we understand that you can drink too much on occasion, so that’s why we’ve crafted the Hangover Plus IV to help you recover from a hangover fast!

To provide you with the ultimate care, we also offer mobile IV services in Nashville, so we can treat you in the comfort of your own home, office, hotel, or event. Just because it’s convenient, doesn’t mean it’s not still personal. We tailor every solution to your needs 7 days a week.
Proper Sleep
Not getting enough sleep disrupts your ghrelin and leptin hormones, which are essential for regulating appetite and caloric intake. When these hormones get out of balance, this can lead to over-eating because you’re tired or stressed. Shorter amounts of sleep increase the ghrelin hormone, which stimulates hunger, and decreases leptin, which regulates hunger.
When Holistic Methods Aren’t Enough
Unfortunately, sometimes even taking the responsible, holistic approaches may still fail. This isn’t a reflection of you. Instead, it’s a sign that factors beyond your control, like your genetics and hormones, prevent you from losing weight and keeping it off. That doesn’t mean that you should give up or lose hope. It just means that you need to take a different approach!
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide
Weekly injections for weight loss in Nashville help suppress appetite and slow digestion. Neither formula is superior, but your provider might recommend one over the other depending on your medical history and goals. Both injections work by mimicking hormones in your body to make you feel more full. At IntraVenous Solutions, we will always administer your medication in-office, so we can adjust your dosage and monitor your progress as needed. Weight loss shots require zero downtime, you can expect to feel results within 1 to 2 weeks, and you can expect to see results after 8 weeks.
Lifestyle Changes
Although these injections are powerful, they still require you to make healthy decisions and stay physically active. Medication can empower you to take control of your choices, but your body still needs proper sleep, hydration, exercise, and nutrients to maintain the results from semaglutide and tirzepatide. Our providers can offer you recommendations for tailoring your diet and lifestyle to give you the best results.

Additional Weight Loss Options
Beyond our holistic and medical approaches to weight loss in Nashville, we offer additional services to support your journey and optimize your metabolism.
Lipotropic Shots
Our Lipotropic Shots help you shed those last few pounds by retraining your metabolism to stop storing excess fat and convert those cells into energy. Our shots contain the following nutrients:
- Inositol – a form of sugar found in your body that aids in the development and growth of cells and helps your body process insulin.
- Choline – An essential nutrient that not only keeps your mood balanced but also helps you break down fats by removing them from your liver.
- Vitamin B-6 – Beyond supporting your metabolism, immune system and brain, this vitamin also helps to maintain proper levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that could lead to heart attack, blood clots, or hardened arteries if levels are too high.
- Methionine – An amino acid that helps your body grow tissues while also supporting your metabolism and detoxification.
- Vitamin B-12 – This vitamin helps in red blood cell formation, cell metabolism, and nerve function. B-12 also provides energy and fuels your metabolism. If you feel like you need it in a higher dose, we also offer Vitamin B-12 shots.
Vitamin B12 shots
Our bodies cannot produce vitamin B-12, so if you’re not getting it from your diet: meat, poultry, fish, and/or dairy, then you might be at risk of a vitamin B-12 deficiency, especially if you’re vegan or vegetarian. Injections bypass the digestive system and ensure efficient absorption. This can help treat poor sleep habits, low energy, and symptoms of anxiety and depression. If we determine that B-12 injections are right for you, we can help you determine how often you will require B-12.
HOCATT Ozone Sauna
Our HOCATT Ozone sauna can help expedite your weight loss in Nashville by raising your body’s internal temperature to boost your metabolism and promote fat burning. This also increases blood flow, which supports detoxification and elevates your energy levels to fuel your workouts.
HOCATT stands for “Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Therapy,” and it combines 10 science-backed therapies into 1 device. Sessions typically last about an hour, and we designed the space for ultimate relaxation. You can choose to meditate, read, or listen to music to help you unwind after receiving weight loss injections or after working out.
Find out how HOCATT helps relieve the following:
→ Joint Pain
→ Chronic Inflammation
→ Fibromyalgia
