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

Stuff You Should Know
Ruthie's Table 4

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.
