When performed appropriately, IV therapy is safe. What resources can help med spa providers practice safely? This week, AmSpa founder and CEO, Alex R. Thiersch, JD, speaks with Sam Tejada, founder and CEO, and Dr. Christopher Davis, chief medical officer of Liquivida. They talk about the business growth of Liquivida’s IV nutrient therapy solutions and wellness centers, why they got involved with the American IV Association (AIVA), and the educational resources they’re working on to promote safe medicine in the aesthetic industry. Their conversation includes:

  • What inspired Tejada to found Liquivida with only $500 in his back pocket;
  • Why interventional cardiologist Dr. Davis added IV nutrient therapy;
  • The science of IV therapy to selectively target micronutrient deficiencies;
  • How they used clinical data to convince the public this is more than a fad;
  • The importance of treating IV therapy seriously as a medical treatment;
  • Future datasets for providers with the American IV Association (AIVA);
  • Liquivida Wellness Centers vs. Liquivida Integrated Lounges;
  • And more!
