In this episode of Girl Talk with Tay, I sit down with Bracha Banayan, family nurse practitioner, entrepreneur, and founder of IVDrips and Hello Dose, for one of our most fascinating conversations yet.

In this episode, host Talia Mashiach sits down with Bracha Banayan, family nurse practitioner and founder & CEO of IV Drips and Hello Dose, for a deep and inspiring conversation. They explore the science behind GLP-1 medications, why weight loss has never just been about willpower, and how hormonal health is transforming medicine and longevity. Bracha also opens up about her entrepreneurial journey — bootstrapping two companies from scratch — and shares candid reflections on dating, heartbreak, egg freezing, and learning to surrender to life's process.
I'm taking you behind the scenes of the most unique recording setup yet, getting an IV drip mid-episode with Bracha Banayan, family nurse practitioner and founder of Hello Dose and IV Drips. We get into how IV therapy works and who actually needs it beyond just hangovers, GLP-1s and Ozempic, currently responsible for every diva's new silhouette in Floptropica, the stigma around them, why men use them wrong, what they actually do to sex drive and alcohol cravings, and ketamine therapy for trauma including a personal experience processing divorce in a single session. We also get into the NYC dating scene, running husband-hunting content as a business owner, intermittent fasting, morning workouts, glucose and insulin as the root of most disease, and why 30% of people go off GLP-1s too early and what that costs them.
