#57: IV Vitamins, Oxidative Stress with Dr. Lenny Cohen

Dr. Lenny Cohen is here to teach us about IV-vitamin therapy treatments, and what we need to know about oxidative stress.

We collaborated with Dr. Lenny Cohen and his team from ReviveDoc at our 50th Episode Party and Summit in Chicago. He gave interested attendees B12 vitamin injections and they sold out because it was a huge hit.
