A Jamesport business provides a unique solution to multiple health ailments, even providing services to the usually technologically skittish Amish Community.

Due to its rural location RDK Wellness and IV Hydration has a diverse list of clients seeking to relieve an equally diverse list of ailments.

“When you come here to IV Hydration, you can receive all of the nutrients and hydration you need all in one setting for just 30 minutes or an hour, depending on which hydration you use,” said Rachel King, owner of RDK Wellness and IV Hydration.

Like many of her clients, King said she often has bouts with dehydration due to the rigors of everyday life as a business owner and mother. Until she found an effective treatment, like many of her clients, she thought the symptoms of dehydration were simply the result of a busy schedule.

“It becomes your norm. You can be fatigued or notice your skin is really dry or your tongue is dry. A lot of people notice they just lack a lot of energy. That’s where most of our people start seeking us out,” King said.

RDK Wellness and IV Hydration opened in January. After visiting a similar business opened by her friends in Kansas City, King said she soon caught on to the benefits of IV hydration treatment.

“I tried the immune boost. I had a really stuffy nose, and I didn’t want to go to the doctor. I didn’t have time. I got my hydration, and felt so good. I went back and thought, this is such a great resource. I would really like to have it in our community,” King said. “It’s been really good so far. We’ve had all different people from all over, even [Excelsior Springs]. Ridgeway, Bethany and a lot of our locals. Even some of the Amish Community. It’s interesting, but it’s all natural vitamins and minerals, so they’re really interested in the service we’re providing.”

Along with hydration, King’s business also provides lab services in order to pinpoint vitamin and mineral deficiencies. She said area physicians often refer her services to patients.

“We can make sure they benefit right away from our hydrations. A lot of the things we do are more preventative, and insuring you meet all of your wellness goals. Of course, we tell all of our clients to involve their primary care physician insure we’re all working together in one cohesive goals, whether it’s their heart, lowering their A1C, if they’re a diabetic - all of those things,” King said.
