Low dose naltrexone

Low dose naltrexone- better known as LDN- is quickly becoming one of the most talked about tools in the wellness space. It was originally used in higher doses to treat addiction however researchers later discovered something surprising: very small doses can help the immune system, reduce inflammation, and support hormone behavior. 

Naltrexone is an FDA-approved medication traditionally prescirbed in doses ranging from 50 to 100 mg to block our opioid receptors. But in low doses, typically 0.5 to 4.5 mg- it works completely differently. At low doses, LDN gently blocks the body’s opioid receptors for a short time. This temporary block stimulates your body to produce more endorphins- your natural “feel good” and pain-relieving hormones. Endorphins also play a big role in immune system regulation. 

The result? Reduced inflammation, better immune balance, and improved mood and energy. 

LDN is commonly used in autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation and pain, hormone imbalances, metabolic issues, mood support, and long COVID.

LDN is compounded, meaning it is custom made at the dose that fits your needs. 

At One Health Wellness, we use LDN as part of a whole-body approach to hormone optimization, thyroid and metabolic health, autoimmune stability, weight loss support, and perimenopause and menopause symptom relief. 

We offer virtual visits, making it easy to start your LDN journey anywhere in Florida or Virginia.
