Meet the Owners Behind IV Nutrition South Tulsa
Tony and Linda Hicks are from Tulsa, OK. They have two IV Nutrition locations in the Tulsa, OK area and have been in business since Feb. 2019.
Before they bought their franchise, Tony was practicing Chiropractic and Functional Medicine in their Chiropractic office in Bixby, OK. Tony’s degree is in Chiropractic and his post-grad work is in Functional Medicine with an emphasis on Cardiovascular and Internal Medicine. While Linda managed the office and brought her background in business, marketing, and owning a dance studio.
Tony, dedicated to helping people and learning more, went to an IV Therapy Convention (the same one the founders of IV Nutrition were attending). After meeting Jason and Tara at the IV convention and adding IVs and injections to the chiropractic office, the practice quickly grew and it became clear they needed more space. A visit to IV Nutrition in Overland Park and a little prayer confirmed this was the next step for them. They loved the vision, the impact IV therapy could have on people’s health, and the passion Jason and Tara had built into the business. (Although Linda still jokes about getting sick after her first Bountiful Beauty IV on the drive home — they blame the fuzzy tacos, not the IV!)
What they love most about IV Nutrition is seeing people’s health truly change through nutrients delivered at the cellular level. It’s rewarding to be part of something that helps people feel better naturally and gives hope to so many.
Like any business, they’ve faced challenges along the way. In the beginning, IV therapy was still very new in Oklahoma, and people would often walk in asking if they sold smoothies. Staffing and marketing have also been ongoing challenges, especially after Covid, but they’ve continued growing and building an amazing team to serve their clients.
Their goal is to continue expanding, educate more people about the benefits of IV therapy, create a workplace their employees love, and continue serving the Tulsa community in a meaningful way — while hopefully finding time to relax on a beach someday too.
