Dr. Christopher Davis and the Journey to Modern Wellness
How this seasoned cardiologist with more than 16 years of experience transitioned to the role of Chief Medical Officer at Liquivida.
For medical professionals disillusioned with the practice of conventional medicine, Dr. Davis’s story sheds light on the challenges entrenched within the healthcare system and paves the way toward a more holistic and patient-centered approach to medicine.
The Early Years: A Thrilling Start
As an interventional cardiologist, the initial decade of Dr. Davis’s practice was filled with diagnosing and treating heart conditions and performing life-saving procedures for patients in critical condition.
While saving lives is unarguably the ultimate reward for any physician, year after year, he found himself having to see more patients just to maintain his income. With the rising costs of running a medical practice and decreasing insurance reimbursements, seeing more patients in less time – a mere seven minutes per patient – was hardly sufficient to provide comprehensive care.
Patients were seeking advice on weight loss, blood pressure management, nutrition and dietary guidance, and while Dr. Davis excelled in “sick care,” he struggled when it came to providing preventive healthcare. The same patients were coming back with the same issues year after year.
Awakening to a New Perspective
The shortcomings of the medical system ignited his passion for a more preventive approach to healthcare and ultimately led him to discover IV Nutrient Therapy, a concept that intrigued him profoundly. His journey took him and his wife from Sarasota to Fort Lauderdale to meet the Liquivida team, a pivotal moment in his transformative story.

But he witnessed the incredible potential of IV Nutrient Therapy early on in patients with Parkinson’s disease, taking away tremors and restoring quality of life.
A Shift Towards Holistic Wellness
IV Nutrient Therapy transformed Dr. Davis’s practice, attracting a different clientele that sought health and wellness rather than traditional sick care.
This shift allowed him to cater to individuals striving for optimal health, including athletes and high-level executives who aspired for more.
Despite the initial challenges and doubts, he was resolute in his commitment to providing a different type of medicine that empowered patients to take control of their health. His practice became less about the money, and more about doing the right thing.
