Welcome back to The Mindful Haven, the podcast where we shine a light on innovators bridging the gap between clinical care, mental wellness, and whole-person healing. In this episode, co-host Shanti Hubbard sits down with powerhouse nurse practitioners Regine Patillo and Schwanna Fortenberry, the founders of Ultimate Drip Therapy & Wellness. Together, they explore how preventative care, IV therapy, and holistic wellness intersect with psychiatric support, especially in the wake of a changing world post-pandemic.
You'll hear the inspiring story of how Ultimate Drip began from a single room at the height of COVID-19, with a mission to help keep people well and how their commitment to community health led them to expand their services to include everything from IV hydration to aesthetics and hormone therapy. Shanti, Regine, and Schwanna dive into the importance of creating safe, culturally competent spaces, integrating mental and physical healthcare, and the transformative power of treating mind, body, and spirit together.
Whether you're curious about the benefits of IV drips like the "Meyer's Cocktail" or the vital role of vitamin D in mental health, or you want to know how a partnership between a med spa and a psychiatric practice can help people feel whole, this episode offers practical wisdom and hope for anyone seeking complete, individualized care. So settle in, it’s time to reimagine what true wellness looks like, together.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
