Raising your overall health and helping your body work to its best level possible are the two main goals for Rebekah s. Corey, DNP, APN, FNP-BC and her team at IV NOW located just off Shallowford Road.
IV NOW (Nutrition Optimizing Wellness) seeks to educate their current and potential patients on the importance and the great potential nutritional intravenous treatments can offer.
“The body can do remarkable things if it’s given the right tools”, Corey shared, noting that nutrition along with proper vitamins and minerals are key in all they do.
Dr. Corey has been in practice as a nurse practitioner since 1999 specializing in gastroenterology. She implemented the IV therapy program while employed with the Center for Digestive Disease and Disorders, providing infusions of biologic medication for Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis patients. She continued providing medical infusions for her patients, with these autoimmune diseases, when she opened up her private practice, Digestive Care and Management (DCM) in 2012. Since many other autoimmune diseases respond to the same medications, DCM now also infuses for providers in the fields of rheumatology, dermatology, pulmonology and asthma.
Chronically ill patients or those having a disease process are ideal candidates for IV nutritional treatments, according to Corey. I started researching this aspect of healthcare because I felt more could be done to treat chronic disease, such as my patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). After reviewing different organizations for available training, Dr. Corey chose International IV Nutritional Therapy because of their worldwide recognition and mission statement. For the last two years she traveled to California, participating in lectures and hands-on training for nutritional IV therapy, passing all requirements to receive her certificate.
