In reply to Nicole Nelson. Hi Nicole! His whole office is great so whoever you see, you should have a good experience. The IVs he uses are still great and are the correct ratios based on what your body needs. I think Dr. Koniver was talking about these pop-up "hangover clinics" that offer IVs with general amounts of different vitamins without testing to see if they are needed. I'd still feel great doing either type (Dr. C's or Fast IV) if needed.

Hi Katie,
I love your podcast and listen regularly while out walking my baby in nature! I have a kind of personal question about this particular episode and your own health practices. So, after quite awhile of dealing with what I believe is a thyroid issue but getting nowhere with Western medicine, I finally decided to bite the bullet and will be going to Dr. Christianson’s clinic in Scottsdale in November. I know that you personally saw Dr. Christianson and he helped you get to the bottom of some of your health issues. Unfortunately, he is not taking on new patients but I am able to see a colleague.
In this podcast, it was mentioned that you have been doing “traditional” IV treatments until you tried Dr. Koniver’s FastIV. He also indicated that many practitioners are not giving patients the correct components in standard nutritional Ivs. So, I am curious if in your experience, Dr. Christianson’s practice has moved towards the FastIVS as an option or if you are seeing a different practitioner now. Are you still followed by Dr. Christianson? I imagine that you have a number of options given all the amazing experts you feature on your podcast.

Love your work and curious about your experience with this! Thanks for all you do!
A Happy Mama,
Nicole

Hi Katie,
Love your podcasts and listen to them while I’m walking the baby out in nature! I am dealing with a lot of long term health issues that I suspect are related to thyroid and symptoms have recently worsened after an injury. I finally decided to bite the bullet and am feeling very lucky to be seeing Dr. Lauren Beardsley with Dr. Christianson’s practice (he is not accepting patients) in November. I know that you personally saw Dr. Christianson and I believe Dr. Wentz talked about him as well during one of her interviews. I am curious if Dr. Christianson’s Integrative Health practice utilizes this type of IV. You mentioned that up until trying the fastvitamin IV you had been using more “traditional” IVs. This doctor made it sound like some of those traditional IVs are not very effective. Since nutritional IVs are a part of Dr. Christianson’s practice and it is very possible they might be recommended for me, I am just curious as to your experience. If you feel comfortable sharing, I’d love to hear more. Are you still followed by Dr. Christianson or have you switched doctors? You get to meet so many great minds, I imagine you have different options.

Thanks for all the great information and wonderful guests. I always learn so much and have tried to incorporate many of the suggestions. But yes, I still do eat sugar in moderation! 🙂
A Happy Mama,
Nicole

In reply to Kristen. How do we find someone in our area? I don't see that option on the website.

Great info! I’ve been wanting to do IV therapy so I’ll have to see if I can find one in my area.

GREAT interview.

I’m opening a brand new wellness center in NYC, NAO Wellness on 28 West 12th Street where we’ll be administering the FastVitamin IV mid-August 2017,

Sounds very intriguing. Also, unfortunately, very expensive so out of reach for most.

Interesting interview. I have never heard of the Nutrient IV but it seems like a great idea. I have to check with my doctor but I don’t think that she would be up for it. Thanks!

I’m sorry. I just can’t listen to someone (who obviously is very knowledgeable) continue to say “you know”, “like, you know”, incomplete sentences, “I mean” in inappropriate places. Seriously, Dr?
