Wellness therapies are services a provider offers to support how you live day to day: an IV drip, a hormone plan, a peptide program, medical weight loss, a blood panel. At GIOSTAR in Henderson, a nurse practitioner helps you choose among them and builds a plan you can follow.
The list can feel long when you read it all at once. This guide takes each category in turn, in plain words, and ends with how they fit together.
IV therapy as a wellness therapy
An IV puts fluids, vitamins, minerals or amino acids into a vein through a small IV in your arm. A licensed professional places it, and a drip takes the better part of an hour.
GIOSTAR's menu has Hydration IV (balanced fluids and electrolytes), Immunity Boost IV (vitamin C with immune-supportive nutrients, in two strengths), Performance & Recovery IV (amino acids and electrolytes, built for active people), the Myers Cocktail (B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium and calcium) and NAD+ infusions, which come in multi-session packages. The Recovery Membership adds monthly IV credits, a discount on additional IVs and biomarker testing. Read what IV therapy is.
Hormone therapy as a wellness therapy
Hormones are chemical messengers made in the body. A hormone plan at GIOSTAR is provider-supervised, with labs and ongoing monitoring. The TRT Membership is for men, and the HRT Membership is for women. Both start with bloodwork, and both come with follow-up so your provider can adjust the plan. Read how hormone therapy works.
Peptide therapy as a wellness therapy
Peptides are short chains of amino acids. GIOSTAR's Peptide Optimization Membership builds a custom protocol that a provider chooses and doses after bloodwork. The peptides come from a licensed pharmacy, and you get self-injection training before you start. See what peptide therapy is and the questions to ask a peptide provider.
Medical weight loss as a wellness therapy
The Medical Weight Loss Program is medically supervised. Depending on your labs and history, a provider may include prescription weight-management medication, such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, when it is medically appropriate. The program also includes lab testing, provider consultations, body composition monitoring and nutrition and lifestyle support, with a coaching add-on. Read how medical weight loss works.
Lab testing as the starting point for wellness therapies
The Diagnostic Lab Panel is the service the others lean on. It covers hormone, metabolic and biomarker bloodwork: 100+ biomarkers, one morning draw at a Quest location near you, results in about a week, and every marker reviewed with you by a nurse practitioner. It is a paid service, not a free one. See what a full-body blood panel measures.
Regenerative medicine alongside these wellness therapies
GIOSTAR stands for Global Institute of Stem Cell Therapy and Research, and regenerative medicine is where the name comes from. Our stem cell therapy uses ethically sourced mesenchymal stem cells from screened donors. Read what regenerative medicine is for the field in general.
How GIOSTAR puts wellness therapies into one plan
You do not have to pick one therapy and stop. Plans often combine two or three, and a provider decides the order with you. Here is how a typical path runs.
- Free consultation. You talk with our patient team. There is no obligation.
- Nurse practitioner visit. Your history, goals and a personalized plan. Labs may be recommended.
- Bloodwork where it helps. The panel shows where you stand, and the plan is built from there.
- The services you choose. One drip, one membership or several.
- Reviews. Your provider checks in and adjusts.
The Concierge Longevity Program is the full option. It includes monthly IV credits, quarterly comprehensive biomarker panels and a provider-curated bundle of tracks from peptide, hormone or weight management, all directed by one nurse practitioner. Read how it works.
Questions to ask about any wellness therapy
These questions are worth asking about any wellness therapy.
- Who chooses the therapy, and what is their license?
- What do you look at before recommending it?
- What does the full total include?
- How will we check in, and what happens if my plan changes?
- Where do the products come from?
At GIOSTAR, your nurse practitioner gives you the full total before you commit to anything.
Who wellness therapies suit
Wellness therapies are for adults who want to take a more active hand in how they look after themselves. Some people come with a clear goal, such as staying active through a Las Vegas summer. Others come with a question and want a provider to help them sort it out. Either way, the first conversation sets the direction, and nothing has to be decided on the spot. Each therapy has its own page, linked above, if you want to read more before you call.
