Sam Tejada’s journey with Liquivida began with a focus on IV therapy, but it has grown into something far more comprehensive. As IV wellness clinics began popping up across the country, Sam recognized an urgent need for standardization and medical compliance. With governing bodies across different states unsure how to regulate the rapidly growing space, Sam helped spearhead the formation of an industry association that would bring IV providers together. As Chairman, he now works hand-in-hand with medical boards, legislators, and providers to create protocols that ensure safe, effective, and ethical practices in IV therapy.

At the heart of this effort is a focus on medical oversight and proper evaluation. Sam emphasizes that IV therapy isn’t just about hydration or quick fixes—it’s a medical procedure that involves direct venous access and potentially powerful nutrient infusions. That’s why he and his team ensure every patient goes through a comprehensive health assessment before receiving treatment, including medical history, vital signs, and even lung evaluations. It's not just about administering fluids—it's about providing tailored care backed by science.

But Liquivida goes well beyond IVs. As Sam explains, the brand has evolved into a full-spectrum wellness provider, offering hormone optimization, peptides, diagnostic testing, and regenerative therapies—including STEMREGEN. Many patients come in with common complaints like fatigue, but instead of simply masking symptoms, Sam’s clinics dig deep through diagnostics like micronutrient testing, VO2 max analysis, and inflammation markers. The IV is just one tool in a much larger, patient-centered wellness strategy.

Throughout the conversation, Sam touches on the larger healthcare ecosystem and how IV therapy—and the wellness movement at large—fits into it. From regulatory resistance to internal battles between medical and nursing boards, it’s clear that IV therapy represents a shift in the healthcare paradigm. But as Sam puts it, the key isn’t to fight—it’s to collaborate and educate. With passionate leadership and an unwavering commitment to compliance and patient outcomes, Sam Tejada is helping redefine what modern wellness looks like.
