IV hydration delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals, and other selected ingredients directly into your bloodstream through an IV catheter. High-dose ozone therapy uses a different process: Blood is drawn, exposed to ozone with specialized equipment, and returned through an IV. Both are part of Big Life’s wellness services in Lone Tree, CO.
Big Life Integrative Health + Regenerative Aesthetics serves the metro Denver area from its Lone Tree medical center. Christy Garbus, FNP-C, MSN, and Carl White, FNP, offer IV hydration and ozone treatments. Christy has emergency and cardiac medicine experience, while Carl worked as a nurse for six years before becoming a family nurse practitioner.
What Is IV Hydration?
IV hydration places fluid directly into a vein, where it can also carry selected vitamins, minerals, amino acids, or other ingredients. Because the IV route bypasses the digestive tract, the formula reaches the bloodstream without first going through gastrointestinal absorption. Nutrients may be included in the fluid bag, given as an IV push, or administered by injection after medical review.
What IV Therapy Options Are Available?
Big Life has a broad IV menu with formulas containing different combinations of fluids, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and other ingredients. Your medical history and the type of infusion you’re considering can help determine which options are appropriate.

What Is Ozone Therapy?
Big Life’s high-dose ozone therapy is a form of autohemotherapy. A provider reviews your health history and medications before drawing blood, mixing it with ozone using specialized equipment, and returning it intravenously.
Ozone therapy is considered an alternative or investigational service. It is not FDA-approved for treating disease, and evidence for many promoted medical uses remains limited. It shouldn’t replace standard medical care for a diagnosed condition.
Why Choose Big Life Integrative Health + Regenerative Aesthetics for IV Hydration and Ozone Therapy in Lone Tree, CO?
