Recovery IV · fluids, electrolytes, B vitamins, anti-nausea option
Recovery IV in Nashville, for training blocks and long flights.
A litre of fluids and electrolytes with B vitamins and an optional anti-nausea medication, placed by a nurse, $219. For training weeks, flights and the morning after a late one. We stay honest about what a drip can do for any of those.
- Fluids, electrolytes, a B-complex, with an anti-nausea medication available from the nurse if you need it.
- Placed by a registered nurse, about sixty minutes, from 7 am including Saturday.
- $219, all in.
- Honest framing: it rehydrates and settles a stomach. It does not undo a late night or speed healing.

Results vary from person to person. Nothing on this page is a promise of weight lost or kept off, and a program may be declined after the Starting Line if it is not right for you.
Why it works
Rehydration and a settled stomach. That is the honest claim.
Hard training, long flights and late nights all leave you short of fluid and salts, and sometimes queasy. A litre of electrolyte fluid replaces what you are missing faster than you can drink it, and the anti-nausea option lets you keep food down afterwards. That is useful on a Saturday morning before a long run, or on a Monday after a red-eye.
It does not undo a late night, because nothing does, and it does not repair muscle or shorten recovery in any measurable way we would put our name to. If you ask the nurse whether you need it, you will get a straight answer, which is occasionally no.
Candour
Who this is for, and who it is not
For
- Training blocks, race weeks, long flights, a late night with an early start.
- People who want the nurse to decide on the anti-nausea option rather than a menu.
- Weekend mornings; the lounge opens at 8 am on Saturday and the first chair is yours.
Not for, or not yet
- Anyone who is ill rather than dry; the nurse will send you to the right place.
- Anyone expecting it to reverse what a late night did. It rehydrates you. The rest is sleep.
- Anyone with conditions the intake flags; the nurse decides, not the booking page.
Who treats you
Named on every page, by design.
Illustrative stories. Wrenhaven is a fictional clinic; these are written examples, not patient reviews.
Race week, two drips, both before 8 am. Marcus talked me out of a third. That is why I go back.
Red-eye from Seattle, chair at 7, desk at 8:30. Fluid, not magic, and he said so.
Will it fix a hangover?
No. It replaces fluid and salts and can settle your stomach. Time does the rest.
Does it speed recovery from training?
It rehydrates you faster than drinking. We make no claim beyond that; the evidence does not support one.
What is the anti-nausea option?
A prescription anti-nausea medication the nurse can add if you are queasy, under the clinic protocol. It is offered, not sold.
How early can I come?
Seven on weekdays, eight on Saturday. Book the first chair and you are out by nine.
Can I have it before a race?
Yes, with the nurse deciding on timing. Many people book it two days out rather than the morning of.
