My name is Deirdre, I am the PA who founded Revive365 in 2019. I am a board-certified Physician Assistant with personally over 10 years of experience in emergency medicine. Being in the Emergency Department I have the ability to affect people’s lives in a real and meaningful way. In any given shift it’s my duty to ‘revive’ people in various ways and at times save people from dying.  I’ve always been drawn to the hands-on nature and delicate balance of the human body. Watching how impactful IV fluids, vitamins and minerals have been to emergency patient care, I became more interested in how it could affect day to day living and overall health. 

I love providing emergency care, so what led me to become interested in a completely different field like IV infusion of vitamins, minerals and functional medicine?

 

A few years ago, being in my early 30’s and undergoing some major life changes, my road led me to investigate my health on a deeper level. I had started doing functional fitness as an outlet for stress and felt myself gaining physical and mental strength, but I wanted to know more about my body on the cellular level. This is when I sought the treatment of Alison Monette, a Naturopathic Doctor.  Alison opened my eyes to a brand-new way of looking at the basics of health, behavior patterns and the effect of food and stress on our lives and bodies. 

 

IV infusions have the advantage of delivering 100% of nutrients directly to your cells by bypassing the digestive system. I knew this method of delivery would be far more effective than oral supplementation. It’s similar to taking an oral pain medication that takes 30 min to work versus watching it work in 2 minutes when given IV. 

From aiding in the recovery after extreme endurance events, to quickly curing the common hangover, I’ve seen the immediate and profound effects that IV fluids have had on people. 

 

Sitting around a dining room table with my close friends and family, we discussed the impact that IV infusion could have on our local community.  This is how Revive365 was born. I quickly realized I wanted to be helping more people to feel better quickly.  IV infusions offer a unique opportunity to help people begin feeling better in less than an hour in a safe and comfortable environment. Beyond the formal training and practical application of IV fluids, medications, vitamins and minerals, I have taken the newest advanced courses in IV nutrient therapy. 

 

“IV therapy is like the urgent care of functional medicine. It allows for an immediate effect while the other dietary, lifestyle and supplement choices start to work on their own more slowly.”
