IV Drips, Hot Flashes, Fatigue, Mood Swings, Decreased Libido, and Brain Fog: A Chat with London Collective's Owner

Send us a text

Meet Daniela Londono, nurse practitioner, Doctor of Nursing Practice, and the passionate founder of London Collective. Her remarkable journey through multiple medical specialties—from orthopedics to gastroenterology to cancer research—has culminated in a wellness practice that masterfully balances aesthetic enhancement with holistic health.

Daniela's approach to beauty is refreshingly authentic. "I like natural things," she emphasizes throughout our conversation, addressing the common concern many have about aesthetic treatments looking overdone or artificial. At London Collective, treatments like Botox and dermal fillers are administered with a commitment to preserving each client's natural appearance while subtly enhancing their features.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Daniela shares how she began her business with mobile IV therapy—"cocktails" of vitamins and nutrients customized to address specific health concerns. From immunity boosters to anti-inflammatory formulations featuring glutathione (a powerful antioxidant), these treatments have helped clients experience increased energy and fewer illnesses. This service emerged organically when friends sought her medical expertise for wellness infusions, recognizing the value her extensive background brought to the table.

Perhaps most compelling is Daniela's work in hormone replacement therapy. She expertly outlines the telltale symptoms many experience—hot flashes, fatigue, mood swings, brain fog, and decreased libido—and explains how comprehensive blood work helps her develop personalized treatment plans. One moving success story involves a professional speaker whose "brain fog" was affecting both her career and relationship until Daniela's targeted hormone therapy transformed her quality of life. This client now advocates for Daniela's services, particularly among Hispanic communities where stigma around these treatments sometimes persists.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
So again, my name is Daniela Landano.
I'm a nurse practitioner andstarted essentially in the
medical field in 2010.
So it's been a long time andyeah it's been a long time and I
dove into working into aspecialty which was orthopedic
specialty and I was there forlike five years and I still

(01:08):
didn't know what I wanted to doin the long run and ended up
falling in love with being aregistered nurse.
And the reason being was becauseI like to specialize in
different things and having thatopportunity to do that in
nursing, where you can pickwhere you want to work and not
just pick one specialty,essentially.

(01:29):
And then after that I worked atthe hospital, actually in a
small town called Plant City,here in closer to Tampa area,
and from there I grew as andwent to school, became a nurse
practitioner and was ingastroenterology another
different specialty for anotherfive years and loved it.

(01:53):
And then after that I worked inaesthetics and now working in a
cancer institute as well, sobeing able to work more in the
research side as well.
So I became a doctor of nursingpractice and that's where it
kind of shaped me as a whole inthis nursing career.

(02:16):
And now I'm here at LondonCollective.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Well, isn't that amazing though you know all the
experiences.
If you look back, right, basedon all your experiences, all the
different experiences in themedical industry, and now, all
of a sudden, it brings you toaesthetics, right?
Yes, it does.
Sure, there was so manydifferent opportunities to go in

(02:43):
this direction and in thisdirection, and then you just
stuck with, you know, finallyfinding your home with wellness
and beauty.
So what I'd like to talk aboutis if you're okay with this, you
know what is botox and andderma fillers and skin better.
You know skin care, because I'mlooking at your website and you
, and it says we offer a varietyof treatments to promote

(03:06):
overall wellbeing and enhanceyour natural beauty.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Is that something that is more prevalent, that
your patients are looking to towant?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, I think that there's.
There's half and half, I feellike a lot of people know about
Botox.
Obviously there's differentbrands of Botox.
There's actually other ones,one called Daxify, dysport.
There's different ones, and Ithink that in the community,
especially because I see a lotof Spanish people, so I'm

(03:40):
Hispanic, so there is some sortof still a stigma on these types
of treatments.
They think that they're goingto look overdone, and that's
where the natural beauty comesinto play, where I love natural
things right.
So if we're going to addsomething like fillers which add

(04:00):
volume to a certain area, let'ssay we're adding volume to your
lips I like to promotesomething that is natural
looking.
I don't like the overdone lookand I think that that is one of
the things where um in here inpractice is is wanting for
people to look uh, their lookthemselves, but still look

(04:24):
natural and then more beautifulin a sense.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I like that word natural, and you said that a
number of times when you werejust speaking.
Natural means Meaning that youdon't want to take away from the
beauty of the face itself, butyou just want to enhance it,
correct?

Speaker 2 (04:45):
That is correct, that's exactly right.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
You know it's kind of interesting how everybody gets
into their own field and youknow doing wellness.
And then what is it?
Iv infusion.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Therapy IV infusions.
Can you IV therapy IV infusions.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Can you elaborate a little bit on that as well?

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, so actually that's how I started.
I started by doing IV infusionsand one lady that I knew is a
friend of mine.
She told me that she hadsomeone else come to her home
and do an IV therapy.
She didn't exactly know whatwhich one they gave her, but she

(05:30):
knew that it had helped herbecause it had different
vitamins, and at that time shesaid this lady's no longer here
and you seem like you have somuch experience.
Is it something that you coulddo for us?
And that's truly where Istarted.
I do.
I started by doing mobile IVtherapy and did my education.

(05:54):
I got certified and found outthat there is demand here and
learning, obviously, what to mixand what people are looking for
.
For example, there's differentI call it cocktails or IV
therapy options, like there's animmunity drip that helps boost
your immunity.

(06:15):
There's other drips that aremore anti-inflammatory that help
people reduce theirinflammation in their body or
detoxify the body.
We use glutathione, which is apowerful antioxidant, and it
helps just detoxify the body,and in practice I've seen that a
lot of a lot of people's energyhas increased or they feel like

(06:40):
they haven't gotten sick for awhile, and so I found that it
was really.
It is really helpful.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
That's it.
That's interesting.
So there are IV therapy.
There's so many benefits tousing it right for your
customers, like you justexplained, to using it right for
your customers, Like you justexplained.
Another thing I was looking inat your website was called
hormone replacement therapy?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
I believe yes.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Can you expand a little bit?
Let our listeners know a coupleof things.
How do they know if they wouldneed to have hormone replacement
therapy, and then what is it?
How do they know what do theyneed to look for?
You know, to be able to call aprofessional like you to help
them.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah.
So with hormone replacementtherapy, most people start
noticing and the first thingthat we think about and we'll
talk about women we start tohave most common symptom is hot
flashes.
We start to have most commonsymptom is hot flashes.
And so when women becomemenopausal, they'll have certain

(07:52):
symptoms that pop up, and it'sfatigue, low energy.
They have mood swings, justforgetfulness, having that brain
fog or skin changes, just moredryness or loss of libido.
Those are things or questionsthat we start to ask ourselves

(08:12):
when we become menopausal orpremenopausal.
And so hormone replacementtherapy comes into play.
When patients come in and theystart telling me their symptoms
and we get to the root ofeverything by doing blood work,
we do a whole hormoneessentially hormone panel to

(08:33):
take a look at their hormonesand we do need, obviously, their
history and all theirinformation before we tailor
their specific need.
If they're truly menopausal,they need certain hormones.
If they're pre-menopausal, theyneed other hormones, based on
one, a component of their labs,but also more of their symptoms.

(08:55):
We're trying to optimize them.
So it's hormone replacement.
I feel like it's something thatis evolving and it's needed in
our communities and we don'tknow as far as patients, we
don't know so too much about it.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
And this is what this is all about right To educate,
right right.
And to bring to your patientsor people who are listening.
Let them know what this is.
You know what these type ofservices are involved and what
they're all about.
Now, speaking of that, therewas a.
You know there are.
Do you have a story of apatient that you could share Now

(09:35):
don't mention the names, Ialways say this but a story of
something of a patient that wasso inspired by your services?
Can you tell a little bit aboutthat?

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, actually I do, I have a patient.
Bit about that.
Yeah, actually I do, I have apatient, although she already
knew she needed hormone therapy,though, but she came in and she
told me all her symptoms and itwas essentially all of the
above.
She was essentially miserable,and she said that her, she felt
like it was impacting herpartner to win her relationship

(10:04):
in a way, just because of howshe felt like it was impacting
her partner too, and herrelationship in a way, just
because of how she felt and, um,she, she, for a living, she
gives talks, and she felt likeher brain fog was affecting her
personal life and herprofessional life as well.
Um, and so we decided to starton the hormone replacement

(10:26):
therapy and she, her life justcompletely changed, and she has
been the biggest advocate for,like my Spanish people, because
she tells her story and she sayspeople need to know that you
are doing this and people needto know that you can actually
help them feel better, that youcan actually help them feel
better.
And one of the things that was,I would say, kind of what kind

(10:58):
of funny in a way, was becauseshe was like you're, you're
young, and I had some doubt inthe sense that you're young and
you're not menopausal.
How is someone young going totreat me, since I'm not
menopausal?
and so she still put that trustin me and knew that I was
knowledgeable and happyeducation had, I have the
expertise and she and she justput put the trust and when she

(11:19):
came back and we started herhormone journey she felt amazing
.
Professionally she is, shefeels great and she says my
husband is so happy Herhusband's coming to see me as
well for his symptoms.
So it's such a beautiful storybecause I feel like I can help
people, even though I'm notmenopausal right, but I do have

(11:42):
hormone imbalances that I cansay I know to a certain extent
on the things that you can say.
I know what you you.
I know to a certain extent onthe things that you feel and I
know I can help you.
And so that was just abeautiful time to see her and
she's brought so many people andfriends that have gotten to
know me and it's just, it's been, it's been such a wonderful

(12:05):
thing to bring in I can tellyou're so passionate and you
know, usually when I ask thatquestion, daniella, I always
follow up with us.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
How does that make you feel?
And you've already answered itit made me feel good because
because of this, because of that, and she trusted me, you know,
and it was just, and now she'sbringing people, her friends, to
see me and her husband and so,so, so you know, kudos to you
for that.
That is so exciting to hearsuccessful stories like this,
especially as a business owner.
So, with that being said, let's, let's go in.
