This is StRest! Meet Dan Continenza—endurance athlete, father of two, and founder of IV Active, the mobile IV therapy company changing how we hydrate and heal. In this episode, host Kerstin Lindquist and Dan break down hydration therapy from myth to medicine: how IV vitamins can help fight fatigue, speed post-surgery recovery, support pregnant women, and even boost energy via cutting-edge nutrients like NAD⁺. They also talk candidly about burnout, sleep, and the underestimated power of having a compassionate nurse come to your home during your hardest season. Whether you’re curious about biohacking or just trying to stay upright during soccer season, this one’s for you.
