Nashville may have its amazing music scene as a well-known claim to fame, but locals know it is the lifestyle that keeps people here. Nashville has an on-the-go population, hiking in Radnor Lake State Park, jogging along the multiple (and beautiful) greenways, and paddleboarding, kayaking, and canoeing on the Cumberland River. And that is just the beginning of the fun.
Runners prepare for the Harpeth Hills Flying Monkey Marathons. Sports enthusiasts recover from the Nashville Gold Cup Amateur Pickleball Association tournament. People young and old keep their energy up and ready for weekends of fun on the river, in the woods, or enjoying Nashville’s nightlife.
The best way to rehydrate in Nashville (so you can play how you want, as hard as you want) is at IntraVenous Solutions.
Book a customized IV hydration session at any of our 4 locations in West End (Nashville), downtown Nashville, Hendersonville, and Franklin. Or, have our mobile IV service come to your location! Either way, we would love the opportunity to show you how on-demand hydration efficiently and effectively revitalizes your energy from the inside out.
Read our blog to understand the IV hydration process, the benefits for pre-event prep and post-event recovery, and how IV therapy gives traditional hydration methods (water, food) a speed boost for rapid results right when you need them.
What are the 2 biggest warning signs of dehydration?
The answer is simple, but the system is complex.
Thirst
This may seem like a no-brainer, but your body goes through a complex process to signal thirst. Sensors in blood vessels that monitor blood volume, blood pressure, and blood concentrations, send signals to the hypothalamus when blood pressure gets too low or sodium concentration rises.
When the hypothalamus receives this signal, it responds by sending out hormones that trigger the feeling of “thirst.”
Decreased Urination
When your urination frequency decreases, and the urine you do pass is darker, this could signal that your body is retaining fluids.
A lack of fluids (dehydration) makes less water available for the body to dilute urine contents. As the body realizes it’s dehydrated, it tries to retain fluids, causing urine contents to become more concentrated and darker in color.
How can I rapidly rehydrate?
Your grandfather may have answered that question with “just drink from the hose.” He was not completely wrong.
At IntraVenous Solutions, the best way to rehydrate happens when we introduce fluids for dehydration relief directly into the circulatory system via intravenous delivery. This allows electrolytes, nutrients, and vitamins to reach cells more quickly.
Clients do not have to wait for their digestive systems to break down solids and liquids and slowly transfer these needed components to the bloodstream. Plus, intravenous infusion means clients do not lose key vitamins and minerals to the destructive digestive process.
Why am I still dehydrated if I drink a lot of water?
The simplest rehydration process is drinking water after particularly taxing events, such as sporting activities, tournaments and races, and the “morning after” drain from a night of Nashville fun.
The problem is that just drinking water may slake a surface thirst, but the body’s deeper dehydrated condition requires more. Possible causes of slow rehydration include:
- Electrolyte imbalance. Sodium, potassium, and magnesium help the body maintain fluid balance. If a person’s diet lacks these, or if intense exertion or excessive alcohol consumption depletes the reserves, the body cannot retain the hydration.
- Excessive sweating. Sweat stings the eyes for a reason. Plenty of sodium exits through the pores during excessive perspiration. Water alone can replenish the electrolyte balance.
- Diet. When people eat a lot of processed, sugary, or salty foods, this can alter the fluid balance in the body, leading to dehydration.
To regain balance, fluid replacement needs to include electrolytes. And the best way to rehydrate quickly is through IV therapy at IntraVenous Solutions.
With a simple IV therapy session, you get the fluid and electrolytes your body needs immediately. Most of our clients talk about how much better they feel once their IV bag finishes. They head out into their day feeling refreshed and in a better state of mind.

Our Menu of Infusions
Clients can start with a pre-determined wellness infusion formula we have specifically curated for its benefits. These trusted solutions work great for walk-in clients and for anyone who has not tried IV hydration before. Some of our more popular choices include the following.
The Recovery+
Tied one on the night before? Recover more quickly from a hangover by giving the body what it needs straight into the circulatory system for efficient dispersion and cellular access.
A Recovery+ IV drip bag contains hydration fluid, along with:
- Electrolytes for enhanced metabolism, brain function, and overall well-being
- Vitamin B complex to increase energy and cognitive function.
- Ondansetron to prevent nausea.
- Magnesium to maintain muscle function and reduce soreness.
- Famotidine to address excess stomach acid.
- Ketorolac to reduce pain.
Recovery/Recovery+
Clients often prepare for high-exertion physical events—a marathon, a tournament, or even helping that buddy move his family’s entire household in one weekend. They also have to recover from them. Either way, they choose the Recovery or Recovery+ cocktail as the best way to rehydrate. Both boosts energy while helping muscles relax and cramp less (or not at all).
This bag can include a more focused mix of:
- Electrolytes
- Vitamin B Complex
- Magnesium
Myers’ Cocktail
This well-known formula helps clients maintain their health and wellness by boosting immunity and supporting energy. For decades now, the Myers’ Cocktail IV infusion has offered sustainable relief from asthma, fatigue, and more while helping the body fight further infections.
This formula includes:
- Electrolytes
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin B complex
- Calcium
- Magnesium
Hydration
Plain and simple: this IV contains electrolytes and hydration fluid for an efficient boost to your system. It’s good for anyone who wants to rapidly reverse dehydration and support both their mental and physical performance.
The Hydration bag at IntraVenous Solutions may be an “oldie,” but it’s still a modern “goodie” that delivers the gold standard for hydration therapy.
Remember that we can add to or modify any of these formulas to ensure you get the best way to rehydrate efficiently for your goals.

How often can someone get IV drips for hydration?
If someone really wanted to, they could get an IV every day. However, most IntraVenous Solutions clients schedule their IV therapy sessions around their goals, because the best way to rehydrate in Nashville is the way that best fits their needs.
For example, if they have a UTI and want to flush it out, they can schedule a few days back-to-back. If they just are generally not able to drink enough fluids, once a week or twice a month can be beneficial. If a pregnant woman has a lot of morning sickness, she can come as often as her OB clears her to.
