IV Therapy

Intravenous nutrient therapy administered by naturopathic physicians at Seattle Integrative Medicine in Northgate. IV therapy is offered as part of the clinic's integrative approach to acute and chronic care, supporting recovery from injury, fatigue, immune challenges, and general wellness optimization. Supervised by Dr. Joshua Farahnik, ND, whose practice focuses on regenerative and functional medicine alongside the broader naturopathic team.

Seattle Integrative Medicine's IV therapy service is delivered under the supervision of naturopathic physicians, with Dr. Joshua Farahnik (ND, MPH, RH(AHG)) leading the clinic's regenerative and functional medicine protocols. Intravenous nutrient delivery bypasses the digestive system entirely, allowing therapeutic concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and other bioactive compounds to reach systemic circulation immediately — a key advantage over oral supplementation, where absorption is dose-limited and subject to first-pass metabolism. At Seattle Integrative Medicine, IV therapy is incorporated into the clinic's injury care and pain management programs as well as general wellness and recovery protocols. The clinic's injury care page explicitly cites IV treatment in the recovery of both acute and chronic pain conditions, reflecting the naturopathic principle that supporting the body's innate healing capacity through nutrient repletion can accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammatory burden. Common IV formulas used in naturopathic settings of this type include the Myers Cocktail (magnesium, calcium, B-vitamins, and vitamin C), high-dose vitamin C infusions, glutathione pushes for antioxidant and liver support, and customized micronutrient blends tailored to individual lab results and clinical needs. Because Seattle Integrative Medicine is a multi-provider naturopathic practice rather than a dedicated IV lounge, IV therapy is typically integrated into a broader patient care plan developed in consultation with one of the clinic's physicians. This clinical context makes the IV service particularly well-suited for patients who want their intravenous nutrient protocol supervised within a comprehensive primary and specialty care framework rather than as a standalone elective wellness service. The clinic is located in the Northgate Meridian Building, convenient to North Seattle and the Northgate Link light rail station.
