Former firefighter-paramedic turned wellness entrepreneur, Sam Tejada, joins Haydenn to share how witnessing America’s “sick-care” system firsthand pushed him to build Liquivida—a multimillion-dollar IV, HRT, and aesthetics franchise focused on preventative, regenerative health. He explains what’s broken in conventional healthcare, how food and environmental toxins quietly impact our genes, and why true longevity often starts with what you stop putting in your body.
Sam breaks down the “Vida Journey,” Liquivida’s five-pillar model that combines IV therapy, hormone optimization, medical weight loss, regenerative medicine, and sexual wellness into one holistic experience. He also talks about glutathione, vitamin D, and other foundational therapies, including how internal health and liver function show up directly on your skin.
From starting Liquivida with $500 and no outside investors to becoming chairman of the American IV Association, Sam shares the relationship-first approach that helped him scale a franchise while staying compliant, ethical, and mission-driven. He also opens up about his goal to expand access to advanced wellness treatments in Black and brown communities and how media, education, and his podcast A Healthy Point of View fit into that mission.
If you’re curious about IV therapy, hormones, sexual health, or the future of med spas and preventative care, this episode is packed with insight and real talk on what it takes to build a wellness brand that actually helps people.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
