Welcome back to The Mindful Haven, the podcast where we shine a light on innovators bridging the gap between clinical care, mental wellness, and whole-person healing. In this episode, co-host Shanti Hubbard sits down with powerhouse nurse practitioners Regine Patillo and Schwanna Fortenberry, the founders of Ultimate Drip Therapy & Wellness. Together, they explore how preventative care, IV therapy, and holistic wellness intersect with psychiatric support, especially in the wake of a changing world post-pandemic.

You'll hear the inspiring story of how Ultimate Drip began from a single room at the height of COVID-19, with a mission to help keep people well and how their commitment to community health led them to expand their services to include everything from IV hydration to aesthetics and hormone therapy. Shanti, Regine, and Schwanna dive into the importance of creating safe, culturally competent spaces, integrating mental and physical healthcare, and the transformative power of treating mind, body, and spirit together.

Whether you're curious about the benefits of IV drips like the "Meyer's Cocktail" or the vital role of vitamin D in mental health, or you want to know how a partnership between a med spa and a psychiatric practice can help people feel whole, this episode offers practical wisdom and hope for anyone seeking complete, individualized care. So settle in, it’s time to reimagine what true wellness looks like, together.
