IV Lounge

Cameron Park | 530-387-7097

My passion for helping people led to founding IV Lounge in
February 2021. As someone who battled with a debilitating
chronic illness, I relied on intravenous vitamin therapy weekly.
I am grateful to have the ability to bring this invaluable service
to our local area today! The IV Lounge provides convenient
access to affordable, high quality IV Vitamin therapy customized
and administered by our Naturopath. IV vitamin therapy is
optimal fuel that is effective and reliable!
Are you ready to kickstart your body into gear with nutrients?
Do you need a pick me up after a night out with friends? Are
you suffering from a vitamin deficiency? Maybe you are an elite
athlete or weekend warrior in need of quicker recovery? If you
answered yes to these questions, we have a solution for you, IV
Therapy.
IV Therapy can quickly transport high levels of vitamins and
minerals directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive
tract to absorb quickly. IV therapy has been around for over
50 years. It can provide excellent health benefits, including age
management, improved immunity, illness recovery/prevention,
detoxification, and hydration, to name a few.
Regular vitamin supplementation is key to better immunity and
overall good health.

ABAARM
Bogard Health - Well Aging Med
508 Gibson Dr., Ste 290 | Roseville
916-781-4300 | bogardhealth.com
Dr. Bogard has a long history in the health field. From
an RN to a nurse anesthetist to an anesthesiologist, she
spent almost 40 years in the operating room. She was
exposed to critical care, trauma, obstetrics, lots of on
call hours and sleepless nights. As she entered her 50's
she found her own health starting to decline and sought
out a healthy aging physician. After experiencing the
benefits she sought out the fellowship of regenerative
and healthy aging through the American Academy of
Anti-Aging Medicine.
She opened an office in 2014 and continues to grow
and expand her knowledge into this evolving field of
medicine. Rather than prescribing medications and
bandaging diseases she looks for the "root causes" and
integrates each system in the body together. She also
looks at environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors
which result in "dis-ease". Her continued and expanding
practice utilizes bioidentical hormone replacement,
thyroid and adrenal optimization, GI healing, peptide
therapy, ozone therapy, PRP hair therapy, as well as
body contouring and weight management.
