The first cold morning hits.

School is back in full swing. Schedules get busier. We spend more time indoors. Sleep routines change. Holiday stress starts creeping in.

And suddenly, it seems like everyone around you is getting sick.

Fall and winter bring changes that can challenge our routines—and respiratory viruses such as influenza and RSV tend to circulate more during the colder months. (CDC)

At Driip IV, we believe immune support doesn’t have to begin the moment you wake up with a sore throat.

It can start before you feel run down.

That’s the idea behind our new Weather the Storm Winter Memberships: making consistent wellness and immune-focused support easier to incorporate into your routine throughout the season.

Why Think About Immune Health Before You’re Sick?

Your immune system isn’t something that simply switches on when you catch a virus.

It’s a complex network of cells, tissues, organs, and signaling pathways working continuously to protect your body.

And many of the basics matter.

The CDC emphasizes adequate sleep, nutritious food, physical activity, avoiding smoking, and other healthy habits as ways to support normal immune health. (CDC)

Nutrition is part of that foundation as well. NIH identifies nutrients including vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D and E, folate, magnesium, selenium and zinc as important for normal immune function. (Office of Dietary Supplements)

That’s why we like to think about seasonal wellness proactively rather than reactively.

Instead of waiting until you’re already exhausted and your routine has fallen apart, fall can be a good time to evaluate:

Am I sleeping enough?

Am I eating enough protein and nutrient-dense foods?

Am I staying hydrated?

Do I have known nutrient deficiencies that need to be addressed?

Am I managing stress and giving my body enough recovery time?

Am I keeping up with the preventive healthcare recommended for me?

Then, for appropriate patients who want additional wellness support, IV nutrient therapy may be incorporated into an individualized plan.

Immune Support Is More Than Vitamin C

Vitamin C tends to get all the attention when cold and flu season arrives.

And vitamin C is important. It functions as an antioxidant and plays a role in normal immune function. However, the immune system relies on far more than a single vitamin. (Office of Dietary Supplements)

That’s one reason our Immune Support Driip takes a broader approach.

Our formulation includes nutrients such as:

B vitamins — involved in numerous metabolic and cellular processes.

Vitamin C — an antioxidant that also contributes to normal immune function.

Zinc — an essential mineral involved in immune function and numerous cellular processes.

Selenium — an essential trace mineral involved in antioxidant systems and normal immune function.

Magnesium — involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions throughout the body.

Glutathione — an antioxidant naturally produced by the body that participates in cellular redox balance.

Instead of thinking about one trendy ingredient, we look at the bigger nutritional picture.

Why IV Nutrients?

IV administration delivers nutrients directly into the circulation and bypasses gastrointestinal absorption.

That doesn’t mean everyone needs an IV—or that IV nutrients are a substitute for a healthy diet.

They’re another tool.

For appropriate patients, IV nutrient therapy can provide a controlled, provider-directed way to incorporate selected nutrients and hydration into a broader wellness plan.

And when you’re thinking about wellness throughout an entire Minnesota winter, consistency matters more than waiting until you’re already feeling depleted.

That’s exactly why we created our winter membership options.

Introducing Driip IV’s Weather the Storm Winter Memberships

Our new memberships were designed to make regular wellness support easier and more cost-effective throughout the winter months.

Whether you want to keep things simple with one monthly Immune Support Driip or incorporate additional therapies into your routine, there are three levels to choose from.

BASIC — Immune Support Driip

$149/month | $180 Value

Our Basic membership keeps seasonal wellness simple.

You’ll receive:

1 Immune Support Driip each month

For someone who wants to make IV nutrient therapy part of their regular wellness routine without adding additional therapies, this is an easy place to start.

Your monthly Immune Support Driip provides hydration along with a combination of nutrients selected to support normal physiological and immune function.

Think of it as putting something on the calendar for you each month.

Not because you’re sick.

Because taking care of yourself doesn’t have to wait until you are.

WINTER BUNDLE — Immune Support + Ozone

$249/month | $400 Value

Want to take your winter routine a step further?

The Winter Bundle includes:

1 Immune Support Driip monthly

1 IV Ozone/MAH therapy monthly

Ozone/MAH, or Major Autohemotherapy, involves withdrawing a prescribed amount of blood into a closed system, exposing it to a controlled oxygen-ozone mixture, and returning it to the patient.

At Driip IV, Ozone/MAH may be incorporated into individualized wellness plans when medically appropriate.

RESILIENCE BUNDLE — Our Most Comprehensive Winter Membership

$349/month | $565 Value

For patients looking for our most comprehensive winter wellness option, there’s the Resilience Bundle.

Each month includes:

1 Immune Support Driip

1 IV Ozone/MAH therapy

1,000 mg Glutathione boost

Additional B5 + B6 support

10,000 mg Vitamin C boost

10,000 IU Vitamin D injection

The Resilience Bundle brings several of our wellness services together into one monthly membership.

Because higher-dose nutrients aren’t appropriate for everyone, individual medical history, medications, health conditions and other relevant factors should be considered before administration.

More isn’t automatically better. Appropriate and individualized is better.

And There’s More to Membership

All three Weather the Storm memberships include additional Driip IV member benefits:

50% OFF HBOT — Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

and

Member pricing on select services

If IV therapy is already something you want to incorporate regularly, membership can also be a more cost-effective way to make it part of your monthly routine.

Why Consistency Matters More Than the “Emergency IV”

We understand the temptation.

You feel great all month.

Then suddenly everyone at work is coughing, you haven’t slept enough for three nights, and you’re searching for an appointment because you feel something coming on.

But wellness shouldn’t only be reactive.

The basics of immune health—nutrition, sleep, physical activity and other healthy behaviors—work best as habits, not emergency interventions. (CDC)

The same philosophy guides our memberships.

Put wellness on the calendar before life gets in the way.

That might mean your monthly Driip.

It might mean paying more attention to sleep.

It might mean correcting a documented nutrient deficiency.

It might mean improving your nutrition.

And it should include proven respiratory-virus prevention strategies.

Don’t Wait Until Winter Hits

Minnesota winters aren’t exactly subtle.

Neither are the demands they can put on our schedules.

Fall is an opportunity to reset your routine and decide how you want to take care of yourself during the months ahead.

Prioritize sleep.

Eat well.

Stay active.

Stay hydrated.

Keep up with appropriate preventive care.

And if IV nutrient therapy is something you’d like to incorporate into your wellness routine, make it consistent.

Our new Weather the Storm memberships make that easier.

Only 50 Resilience Memberships are available.

Hydrate. Protect. Thrive.

Driip IV services are intended to support individualized wellness goals and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent infectious diseases. Ozone/MAH is not FDA-approved to prevent or treat respiratory infections. Nutrient therapies and higher-dose nutrients may not be appropriate for every patient. Individual screening and medical clearance may be required.

FAQs:

What are the origins of IV therapy:

Research is clear that when you address underlying nutrition deficiencies, your body heals. Dr. Myers, creator of IV nutrient therapy and the Myers Cocktail, theorizes that all chronic disease starts with nutritional deficiency. Here is research from Pubmed regarding IV nutrient therapy and improvement of chronic symptoms: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12410623/.

What is the cost of IV therapy:

Pricing for an IV Driip ranges from $130 – $395 depending on your needs and goals. See our full line of products and prices here.

What frequency do you reccomend:

Frequency is dependent upon your current level of health, how long you have been experiencing symptoms, and your health goals – everyone is different.

It is typically best to repeat a given IV therapy once a week for six weeks. Then, re-assess if your body is ready to move to maintenance care (one time a month), or if a more frequent schedule would be beneficial.
