4 Ways to Maximize Your IV Experience

IVs are for more than just hangovers! Way more.

Did you know we offer 14 different fully customizable IVs? “Customizable” means if you see an ingredient your body doesn’t tolerate well, we can remove and accommodate to best suit your needs. We also offer Boosters of almost every ingredient to add onto an IV for some extra oomph. 

Speaking of extra oomph, there’s no greater time to give your system some lovin’ than the holiday season! With indulgences, colder weather, cold and flu season, and the obvious, NOW is the time to make IVs part of your wellness routine.

IV Therapy Best Practices

1. Arrive Fully Hydrated

To maximize your body’s ability to detox and/or to receive and metabolize vitamins and minerals, arrive fully hydrated to your IV therapy session. We recommend your bodyweight in ounces of filtered water every day. 

2. Order of Services

We recommend first using the infrared sauna to open up detox pathways, then an ionic foot soak to gently pull toxins from the body, followed by IV therapy to replenish your body’s optimal state. 

3. Come to Happy Hour!

Vitamin Shot Bar Happy Hour that is! Every Thursday from 4pm-7pm, all Vitamin Shots outlined below are 50% off - this means they’re only $15/each!

4. Incorporate Off-Site IVs

We now offer Off-Site IVs for your next office event, small holiday gathering or just a way to treat yourself and a neighbor without leaving the comfort of your own home!

9 Ways to Have a Great Morning

1. WAKE UP BEFORE YOUR HOUSEHOLD

Only you know what time this is. We recommend allowing yourself a solid hour before you hop in the shower to get ready for work and/or before carpool duties begin.

2. SIP WARM LEMON WATER

We recommend heating your water over the stove or via a tea kettle rather than using your microwave. Squeeze the juice of 1/2-1 lemon into your water, sip slowly and enjoy. This supports detox pathways, gut health and immunity. If you want to overachieve and if you can handle the taste, drop 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar in there for added liver support as well as 1 tsp of Glutathione. Glutathione is an amazing antioxidant pertinent to our immune system function and the body’s ability to properly detox.

If you need your morning caffeine to even begin to function, do so after your lemon water is finished and try to limit to 1 cup per morning to catch the buzz without the jitters.

3. DEEP BELLY BREATHING

According to our Co-founder Taylor Dukes, this is especially important for anyone prone to anxiety. Deep belly breathing naturally stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system to promote balance and focus. While sitting down or lying down, count to 4 as you inhale, hold for 4 countes, exhale for 4 counts, hold for 4 counts. Continue for 3-5 minutes or more, and feel free to incporate this throughout the day, especially before and after a stressful situation.

4. INCORPORATE QUIET TIME

We cannot stress this enough! The most important way to armor yourself for the day is to carve out time with the Lord studying his word and praying. Read your Bible or favorite devotional and spend time praying or meditating. We love the She/He Reads Truth App and New Morning Mercies by Paul David Tripp if you need a good starting point.

5. JOURNAL +/OR BRAIN DUMP

Use this time to reflect on what you learned in your study or to simply record whatever is on your heart or up in that brain. This is a great time to make a Gratitude List as well!

Brain dumping is especially helpful if you’re feeling overwhelmed. Setting aside any perfectionistic tendencies, simply write down anything and everything clouding your thoughts or occupying the to-do list sector of your brain. From here, you can hone in on priorties of the day, week, month and revisit as needed.

6. GROUNDING

We’ve got a great post on grounding here to help you understand the benefits and how to incorporate to maximize the benefits.

7. LIGHT STRETCHING

We love a good sweaty workout, but we highly recommend something lighter in the mornings —especially in seasons of stress. Low-impact stretching, yoga and pilates support the parasympathetic nervous system to better equip your body to handle stress in a healthy way.

8. SELF-MASSAGE WITH A GUA SHA

A gua sha is a small piece of jade in a shape designed to promote lymphatic drainage in and around your face and neck, to remove toxins and pollutants for clearer skin and to stimulate blood flow to brighten your complexion.

Keep reading for how-to use!

Gua Sha and Jade Roller pictured above available for sale at R+R! Call 817-720-6220.

For lymphatic self-massage with the Gua Sha:

1. Apply a light oil to clean skin.

2. Place the long edge of the gua sha at the bottom of your chin angled almost flat to jaw line.

3. Using *gentle* strokes, pull the edge along your jawline to the base of your ear 5-7 times on one side.

4. Using the same edge and angle, then start at the base of your ear and *gently* pull straight down toward your collar bone 5-7 times.

5. Repeat on both sides.

Pro-tip: Do not forget the step to pull toward your neckline because this essentially drains the lymph - a very important step!

You may also take the smaller more pointed or curved edge toward the back of your head where the base of the skull meets the top of the neck and rock back and forth with the gua sha along the base of the skull. This feels amazing!

For depuffing and skin brightening, use the same gentle pressure starting at the side of your lip and pull toward cheekbones all the way to your hairline. It is helpful to place the opposite hand gently along your lips as you stroke.

9. EAT BREAKFAST

Nutritionist and R+R Co-founder Dabney Poorter recommends eating within 1 hour of waking and to be sure to incorporate protein, healthy fat and thoughtful carbs (ie berries and or veggies).

9 Amazing Benefits of Detox Foot Soaks

We've all heard you "Don't judge a book by its cover" and the same goes for your foot soaks: Don't judge a foot soak by its color! While the color change can be fascinating (and #wegetit), the focus should be on how you feel after your foot soak vs. what your water looks like. Tossing another idiom your way to drive it home... It's what's on the inside that counts! Meaning, the result inside the human body is the significance, not what's in the basin (for those in the back).

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The chemical reaction of the highest quality sea salt on the market with the ionic array causes your body to eradicate whatever it does not want through the soles of your feet to promote wellness at a cellular level. Many get sick because their detox systems (think liver, kidneys, lungs, gallbladder etc.) get clogged for various reasons. Through this idealized sweating process and a little chemistry, benefits may include:⁣

⁣BENEFITS OF FOOT SOAKS

• Merges the healing properties of hydrotherapy, sweating and reflexology to restore health

• Accelerates the body's own natural detox systems to purge unwanted substances (chemicals, heavy metals, toxins, acids) from the body and bloodstream⁣

• Excess acid is the common denominator to illness and regular use of detox foot soaks brings body back to a balanced pH⁣

• Increases sweating and circulation to detox the body⁣

• Improves metabolism by removing unwanted substances from hindering its activity⁣

• Improves glandular and organ function⁣

• Noticeable shift in mental clarity

• Boosts energy, promotes deeper sleep and improves overall health⁣

• Improves sense of well-being mentally, physcially and emotionally⁣

WHAT TO EXPECT IN AN APPOINTMENT

• 45 minute appointment from when you walk in to when you walk out⁣

• 30 minutes soaking in the basin⁣

• Color change, bubbles, black flecks are all part of the fun, but again, focus on how you feel vs. what you see⁣

• If it's your first time, you might not feel much difference after the soak. Give the system at least 3 soaks to open your detox pathways to truly experience the benefits. ⁣

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET A FOOT SOAK?

We recommend 1-2 sessions a week in the beginning, evening out to 1 session every week for maintenance and optimal results. At the very least, we recommend 1 foot soak a month.

Bonus: The effects you personally feel after the soak last up to one week after the treatment!⁣
