## Before: Your Consultation

This is the most important step. Expect to:

- Review your health history and medications
- Discuss your goals
- Learn about the specific product: source, preparation and regulatory status
- Talk honestly about what research shows
- Ask every question you have

Use our list: Questions to Ask Before Booking Stem Cell Therapy (https://icryo-newbraunfels-tx.com/blog/stem-cell-therapy-questions-to-ask).

### How to prepare

- **Hydrate.** Texas heat and humidity make this essential.
- **Eat a balanced meal**
- **Avoid alcohol** beforehand
- **Bring a list of your medications and supplements**
- **Wear comfortable clothes**

## During: Treatment Day

1. **Check-in and vitals**
2. **IV placement**: a quick pinch
3. **Infusion**: the product is given through your IV
4. **Monitoring**: our team checks in throughout

Bring a book, music or something to relax with.

## After: Aftercare

Most people return to their normal routine soon after. Some notice:

- Tiredness
- Mild headache
- Mild flu-like feelings
- Bruising at the IV site

**Contact us** if anything feels unusual.

### Supporting your body

- Rest if you're tired
- Hydrate
- Eat nutrient-rich foods
- Prioritize sleep
- Follow your provider's specific instructions

## Setting Realistic Expectations

Any changes people report tend to develop gradually over weeks to months, and some people don't notice a difference. Stem cell therapy isn't FDA-approved to treat disease and should never replace care from your doctor.
