Preventing hangover severity starts before the first sip:

• Hydrate early — Alternate alcoholic drinks with water or electrolytes.
• Eat balanced — Protein and healthy fats slow absorption and stabilize blood sugar.
• Choose wisely — Clear spirits may have fewer congeners (byproducts worsening symptoms).
• Pace yourself — Moderation keeps HPA activation milder.

For recovery:

• Rehydrate and replenish → Water, electrolyte drinks, and nutrient-rich foods (fruits, veggies, proteins) support detox and hormone balance.
• Rest and move gently → Sleep aids melatonin recovery; light walks boost circulation without stress.
• Support your body → B vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants help counteract effects.

One promising approach gaining attention is IV nutrient therapy, delivering hydration, vitamins (like B-complex for energy), electrolytes, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream for faster absorption.⁷ While more research is needed specifically for hangovers, it effectively addresses dehydration and nutrient depletion which are key factors in symptoms.⁸ At Glow, we're excited to launch IV therapy soon, customized to support recovery, energy, immunity, and hormone optimization.

If hangovers highlight ongoing fatigue, mood changes, or imbalances, it could signal deeper issues. Our telehealth services make it easy to discuss functional testing and personalized plans, including BHRT or peptides, from anywhere in Florida or Alabama.
