About Salty Fluids
Real nursing. Real science. Real results. We bring clinical-grade hydration and medical weight loss directly to you — because feeling your best shouldn't require a waiting room.
Tina Yakel, RN
Some people find their calling. Tina found hers at the end of an IV line — and she's been there ever since. With over 30 years of hands-on IV experience and a background in exercise physiology, she doesn't just hydrate you. She understands how your body moves, recovers, and performs.
Tina earned her B.S. in Exercise Physiology from Florida International University in 1992, then spent decades in clinical nursing before launching Salty Fluids. That rare combination — understanding both the science of human performance and the art of IV therapy — is what sets her apart. She's not reading from a script. She's drawing from thousands of sticks and real patient outcomes.
Now she brings that expertise directly to you — at home, at the gym, at your party, or wherever you need a boost. Physician-guided protocols. Nurse-led care. And yes, she really is that good with a needle.

Not a Drip Bar.
Not a Med Spa.
Something Better.
Most IV services hand you a menu and hook you up. Tina does it differently. She starts with your goals — hydration, recovery, weight loss, immunity — and builds a plan around your body, your lifestyle, and your history. That exercise physiology degree isn't just framed on the wall. It's in every recommendation she makes.
- Personalized protocols — not one-size-fits-all menus
- Dual expertise in exercise physiology and nursing
- Physician-guided dosing and safety oversight
- Real clinical experience, not weekend-certification vibes
- She comes to you — home, gym, office, event
