BEAUTY AND BEYOND | PERSONAL CARE SERVICES | PRIME IV HYDRATION & WELLNESS >> EDUCATION Runs in her Veins FORMER ELEMENTARY EDUCATOR AND WELLNESS COACH DEDICATES HERSELF TO TEACHING THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF IV THERAPY By Haleigh Vander Vinne A LIFELONG PASSION FOR EDUCATION Knight’s journey from elementary school teacher to wellness coach to Owner and Area Developer of Valparaiso’s Prime IV Hydration and Wellness has a common thread: education for herself and others. Initially, though, it was a serious health condition that led Knight to research and teach herself about alternatives to traditional medicine. “I had these food allergies that were very hard to detect and were not being addressed by any sort of traditional medication,” Knight said. By experimenting and educating herself about potential allergens, Knight discovered how to eliminate problematic foods from her diet and heal herself. Her passion for continuing education led her to explore IV therapy, and as it wasn’t available locally, she found herself traveling to Chicago to experience the treatment. Knight credits a little self-analysis with the realization that she needed to bring IV therapy to the Valparaiso community. “It was something I realized driving home after an IV appointment in Chicago, and I said to myself ‘It feels good to finally feel good.’” WATER IS EVERY CELL’S PRIMARY NUTRIENT Our bodies need nutrients, just like a car needs gas. However, up to 92% of the U.S. population is either chronically dehydrated or vitamin deficient. In educating herself about her own health, Knight learned what it truly means to fuel her body with IV therapy. “When you give your body the right nutrients, whether it be through food, supplementation, or other methods, your body has significant power to heal itself,” said Knight. WHY NOT JUST DRINK MORE WATER? What we eat and drink is filtered, broken down, and excreted through our digestive system. Because of this, the nutrients from what we consume often run right through us, and not much is absorbed by the body. In fact, only 20% of a supplement dosage is absorbed when taken orally. IV therapy bypasses the digestive system altogether, delivering vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and IV fluids directly into the bloodstream. The result? 100% absorption. A TEAM – AND AN EXPERIENCE – SECOND TO NONE AT PRIME IV Knight lights up when asked about her team. “Oh, well, my team is phenomenal,” she says. “I am grateful for them every day.” >> ValpoChamber.org 7
