Meet Joell Money, RN (Owner)
Joell Money, RN, is an experienced registered nurse with 18 years of expertise, providing compassionate care to Strive IV and Wellness patients in New Braunfels, Texas. Joell began her career in the high-stress environment of the emergency room, where she honed her IV skills. She later worked in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) and transitioned to labor and delivery after starting a family, where she found significant fulfillment. Throughout her career, Joell has followed various paths that reflect her life's journey, always striving to provide the best possible care to her patients.
After facing her own health issues and exploring conventional medical treatments for several years, Joell discovered the benefits of functional medicine and IV hydration therapy. She learned she was severely deficient in vitamins due to poor gut absorption, which led to an autoimmune response and a cascade of other side effects. Initially, she tried oral vitamins with conventional treatment, but they proved ineffective. This challenging experience led her to find that IV infusion therapy was the solution.
Driven by her personal health struggles, Joell has dedicated herself to researching and applying the necessary nutrients and vitamins the body needs to function correctly. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge and working with others to help them feel better and live their best lives. Joell emphasizes that no one should wait as long as she did to address their health issues and reach their full potential.
