   Ep. 3: Do You Actually Need IV Hydration? The Science & Myths of IV Therapy

   Do you actually need IV hydration...or could you just drink some water and take a vitamin? 💧 In this episode of The Nurse by the Shore Podcast, Lauren breaks down the science behind IV hydration and vitamin therapy...including what actually makes the IV route different, what’s in common IV fluids, and why the fluid, ingredients, dose, and person receiving it all matter. We’re talking Lactated Ringer’s, hydration, bioavailability, vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium, glutathione, personalization, medical oversight, how quickly you may feel an IV, how long the effects may last...and yes, the infamous “expensive pee” argument. 😂 As an RN and owner of an IV hydration practice, Lauren also shares why she believes IV therapy can be a useful wellness tool...without pretending everyone needs one or that every wellness claim is backed by strong evidence. In this episode: • What’s actually happening when you receive an IV • Hospital IV fluids vs. wellness IV hydration • What Lactated Ringer’s actually contains • IV vs. oral absorption and bioavailability • Common vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and medications used in IV therapy • Why dose and personalization matter • How quickly an IV works and how long the effects may last • The truth behind the “expensive pee” argument • Why medical screening and oversight matter LINKS + RESOURCES 🌊 Nurse by the Shore IV hydration, wellness injections, medical weight management + more http://www.nursebytheshore.com (http://www.nursebytheshore.com/) Virtual access to peptides, GLP-1s, longevity + wellness therapies https://elliemd.com/nursebytheshore (https://elliemd.com/nursebytheshore) I am an independent EllieMD Brand Partner and may earn a commission through purchases made through this link.

   Ep. 2: Thymosin Alpha-1: The Immune-Supporting Peptide Explained

   Thymosin Alpha-1 (TA1) is a peptide studied for immune health and thymic function. In this episode we break down what it is, how it works, and what the research actually says about immune aging. We’ll talk about thymic involution and immune aging, how TA1 interacts with different parts of the immune system, where it’s actually been studied, and why this peptide has become such a big topic in the longevity and wellness space. As always, the goal isn’t to tell you that you need another wellness intervention. It’s to dig into the research so you can understand what TA1 actually is beyond the social media hype. In this episode: • What Thymosin Alpha-1 actually is • The thymus, T-cells & immune function • Why immune function changes as we age • How TA1 may influence immune signaling • What TA1 has been studied for • What the evidence does and doesn’t tell us • Safety, limitations & who should talk with their healthcare provider • What to know if you’re considering peptide therapy 🎙️ The Nurse by the Shore Podcast | Researched wellness, without the overwhelm. Work with me: http://www.nursebytheshore.com If you’d like to learn more about TA1 or explore whether peptide therapy may be appropriate for you, you can learn more here: https://elliemd.com/product/thymosin-alpha-1?bp=nursebytheshore Why I chose EllieMD for peptide access: When I decided to offer peptide therapy through Nurse by the Shore, I wanted a platform that kept medical oversight at the center of the process. I chose EllieMD because clients are evaluated by a licensed medical provider, prescriptions are individualized when appropriate, and medications are dispensed through licensed compounding pharmacies. It allows me to help educate and support my clients while keeping prescribing and medical decision-making with the appropriate provider.
