Angela Campbell became more aware of where she was with her health when the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020. That’s when she started doing IV therapy in her hometown of Pittsburgh while becoming more familiar with the world of preventative medicine.
Campbell worked in the medical field with Frank Washenitz for a decade before opening a Liquivida Wellness Center in North Naples. Fort Lauderdale-based Liquivida aims to be a one-stop-shop for many wellness needs with a range of services from botox to hormone replacement.
IV drip therapy is one of the unique services Liquivia provides for people of all ages in different areas of life. “I would say in the last five or so years, IVs have really started to pick up,” Campbell said. “And the hydration and nutrients you get are truly amazing.”
According to Washenitz, taking a vitamin orally will give the consumer about 25% of the total nutrients. IV drips provide a much more concentrated dose that is administered intravenously, getting more out of what is being taken in.
Although IVs gained a reputation for being a hangover cure, this type of therapy is proficient in various aspects of lifestyle wellness, from vitamin B energy boosts for athletes to strengthening the immune system for those constantly dealing with big crowds.
“It’s great for the traveler. We’re always big into if you’re traveling and getting ready to jump on an airplane, boost your immunity system,” Washenitz said. “Get some of these nutrients and vitamins so when you jump on that plane with the 230 other folks, you get that natural IV defense to help build that immunity.”
The IV drip process takes between 30 and 45 minutes and is administered by a licensed paramedic on staff at Liquivida. Each dose ranges from $95 to $250.
Liquivida also has a wellness coordinator for those who want to focus on their overall wellness. It typically starts with a comprehensive bloodwork panel, showing the patient more information about their body than at a regular doctor’s visit, Washenitz said.
