TAHOE CITY, Calif. – When Tahoe City resident Deirdre Davi entered the second half of her life, she wanted it to be more fulfilling than the first. There was no. She had the word and her motto, but she had no idea what to do with it.
She has been a freeride snowboarder for 35 years, and although she has traveled to events with her son and other freeride parents, she wanted to stay in the freeride community and capture its atmosphere and way of life. I was thinking. She then began to explore how to keep the body functioning and the science of health hacking, and she became completely immersed in everything it does to body, mind, and spirit. That's where her Elivate, an intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) approach to restoring health, was born.
“The reason I chose IV is interesting, but it has two meanings,” said founder and CEO Davey. “The EMTs at Burning Man all do their own IVs and are always in better shape than everyone else. We also had freeriding parents who were nurses and were starting to retire. One of my four partners is a head nurse and we still have kids who participate in free rides, and she was one of the keys.”
In total, there are approximately 24 nurses registered to administer injections and infusions. Many are from Tahoe Forest Health and work as side jobs where they can choose when and where they want to work. Although not everyone is fully involved in the process yet, Davey said there are actually five or six people involved.
There are a total of four QuickShot fuel formulas and seven IV formulas to choose from. All of these are designed to improve health in areas such as energy, boosting immunity, cleansing and detoxification pathways, building and repairing tissue, suppressing fatigue, and reducing fatigue. Effects of stress.
The QuickShot option only takes about 30 seconds, but this time varies by IV based on the size of the saline bag solution. 250ml will take approximately 20 minutes, 500ml (the average size of a regular IV) approximately 40 minutes, and 1000ml approximately 1 hour. Larger options are usually only available at home. Mainly because people can faint, so it's better to eat and be completely relaxed before administering it.
When it comes to results, Davey says there are usually three different types.
“There are moments. The other thing is you don't feel much for the first 24 hours and you just feel somehow good. And then in between you can see spikes in energy and track it over several days.”
According to Davey, this result isn't necessarily due to a difference in the formula, but rather to the body's chemistry. The basic formula of the solution consists of vitamin B complex, magnesium, and calcium, from which other options are adjusted.
“Magnesium has interesting calming and focus-enhancing effects,” Davy adds. “So the most common reaction on the first day is to feel energized, calm, focused, clear-headed, and stress-free. Or as one person put it: , “I just felt like a better version of myself.”
If you're afraid of needles, you're not alone. Davey estimates that this is the case for about half of the people he talks to, but insists the process isn't painful.
“Nurses do this job all day every day. That's their job. They have to do it right.”
Customers have the option of having the team vaccinate them at home, but most of the work will be done in IV igloos. The IV Igloo is a camper van parked at Olympic Bike and Ski for the convenience of Palisades guests during the winter. The camper can accommodate up to 4-5 guests, including two nurses. Davy describes the environment as very tranquil and relaxing.
“I wanted to have a testing season because it shows when you come and go,” Davi said. “We plan to take it to Truckee for events and also attend the next World Cup event at Palisades. We want to keep it mobile, and now more than ever we want to bring it here. I need it.”
Davey is also working with Palisades to bring it into the village permanently, but also recognizes the need for the service in other locations, such as Northstar and Martis Camp, and is offering other local lodging and lodging options. It added that it is working to become a preferred vendor partner with facilities. Residential clubhouse.
For now, we plan to continue our work at Palisades and work on other events. It has already been well received by locals and mountain professionals. Davey said he had great support from people like Jonny Moseley and Shelley McConkie, adding that support was key to his initial success.
And while Elivate has thrived since its early days with the support of local residents, that support has been extended to local residents in a variety of ways, including donating a portion of its proceeds to both the Scotty Rapp Foundation and the Shane McConkie Foundation. has also been returned. In addition to these, Elivate has a referral program that rewards you with $5 per referral and $100 per month for your top referrers.
“One of the things we really wanted to do was find a way to give money back to the local community. We were kind of lucky that for the first few months it was all local people. I think… we can’t just deal with tourists.”
