IV Therapy for Detoxification & Anti-Agi...

Dr. Wendy Myers
About this episode

There’s a point where you realize popping pills and hoping for results just isn’t cutting it.

I’ve seen patients struggle to feel better even while eating clean, taking stacks of supplements, and doing “all the right things.” But what if your body simply can’t absorb the good stuff you’re giving it?

That’s where IV therapy comes in—and I brought in Sam Tejada, founder of Liquivida IV Clinics, to break it all down.

Sam went from firefighter-paramedic answering 911 calls to building a wellness empire after seeing how broken the system really is. 

In this episode, he shares how he’s using IV therapy, hormone optimization, detox protocols, and personalized wellness to help people feel better—fast.

We talk about the exact nutrient drips that work for detox and anti-aging, what glutathione and NAD really do in your body, and how toxins mess with your genes. And we go deep on the difference between oral supplements and IV nutrients—why dosage and absorption matter way more than you think.

If you’ve ever dealt with chronic fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, or just want to know what’s legit in the wellness world, this one’s for you.

 

“Our goal with what we do with IV vitamin therapy is basically feeding your body the raw material that it needs—what’s missing.” ~ Sam Tejada
