IV therapy near Clear Lake, TX.
Not just a gym. A daily retreat.
physician-supervised IV therapy through Elite Aesthetic MD adjacent to Wellness Elite Fitness. Myers cocktail, NAD+, glutathione, athletic recovery drips. 12 to 18 minutes from Clear Lake via FM-528 or NASA Parkway.
IV therapy is delivered by Dr. Swet Chaudhari, MD, through Elite Aesthetic MD — a separate, licensed medical practice adjacent to Wellness Elite Fitness. WEF coordinates scheduling and hosts the service on-site; WEF is a wellness facility and does not provide or perform medical care. Available drips include Myers cocktail, NAD+, athletic-recovery blends, glutathione, and high-dose vitamin protocols, each programmed against the member's labs and goals by Elite Aesthetic MD. Sessions run thirty to sixty minutes in a private recliner. The facility is 12 to 18 minutes from Clear Lake, accessible via FM-528 or NASA Parkway.
Myers cocktail — magnesium, calcium, B-complex, vitamin C. The workhorse drip for travel recovery, low-energy weeks, hydration.
NAD+ — slower drip, hour-plus, typically programmed as a series by Elite Aesthetic MD. Coenzyme involved in cellular metabolism; the clinical literature is still maturing and Dr. Chaudhari frames it that way at intake.
Athletic recovery — amino-acid blends and electrolyte timing around training blocks. Programmed against the member's week.
Glutathione, biotin, B12, vitamin D — individual additions based on labs, not a default add-on.
The drive from Clear Lake
About 15 to 25 minutes to 104 Whispering Pines Ave, Friendswood — Bay Area Boulevard west, or NASA Parkway (FM-528) toward Friendswood.
From Clear Lake
The quiet drive west to Friendswood.
Clear Lake sits 15 to 25 minutes from Wellness Elite Fitness in Friendswood. Bay Area Boulevard runs west directly toward FM-528, and NASA Parkway carries the same corridor with minimal signals past Nassau Bay and into Friendswood's quieter streets. El Dorado Boulevard offers a southern variation that connects cleanly to FM-528 as well. The drive is short, predictable, and easy to slot around a shift change or a campus break at University of Houston-Clear Lake.
Elite Aesthetic MD — Dr. Swet Chaudhari's independent practice — is located inside the WEF building at 104 Whispering Pines Ave. No appointment is required to walk the wellness floor and see the space before committing to anything. The recovery suite, where IV sessions are administered by Elite Aesthetic MD, is open 7 am to 7 pm. The WEF strength floor extends to 24-hour access for members. Everything occupies one address, so a session and a workout can share the same trip west.
Who comes from Clear Lake
Built for people who run on precision.
Clear Lake's workforce is anchored by Johnson Space Center — engineers, flight controllers, contractors, and scientists who keep unusual hours, rotate through demanding project cycles, and treat their own performance with the same rigor they apply at work. For that population, IV therapy administered by Elite Aesthetic MD carries a specific logic: direct delivery, no guesswork about absorption, and a session compact enough to fit between a morning briefing and an afternoon sim. The 15-to-25-minute drive west on Bay Area Boulevard or NASA Parkway is a known quantity on any Clear Lake commute.
The university population at UH-Clear Lake, the maritime community along the water, and Bay Oaks and Brook Forest residents rounding out the area share a common thread — schedules that don't leave much slack. A mid-week IV session in Friendswood functions as deliberate maintenance, not an indulgence. The drive pencils out precisely because the time in the chair is the recovery.
The menu, in practice
What Elite Aesthetic MD actually runs.
Myers cocktail is the foundation drip - magnesium, calcium, B-complex, vitamin C. It is the workhorse for travel recovery, low-energy weeks, and general hydration. Members from Clear Lake typically run a Myers every two to four weeks; some run weekly through a heavy travel quarter and pull back when the week stabilizes.
NAD+ runs slower, an hour-plus, and the clinical literature on infused NAD+ for cellular metabolism is still maturing. Elite Aesthetic MD frames it as such at intake. Members programmed onto NAD+ by Dr. Chaudhari are usually running a series rather than a one-off.
Athletic recovery drips lean on amino-acid blends and electrolyte timing around training blocks. Glutathione, biotin, B12, vitamin D loading - those are individual additions based on labs, not a default add-on. Dr. Chaudhari reviews labs and goals before any first drip and adjusts the formula against the member's actual deficits.
Screening + safety
When labs come first.
IV therapy is a clinical practice. Elite Aesthetic MD requires labs within the last twelve months before any high-dose vitamin loading; certain conditions — G6PD deficiency, kidney function below a threshold, severe cardiac history — shift the conversation entirely. That clinical review happens before the first drip is mixed.
This is not a wellness theatre. The intake is a real one conducted by Elite Aesthetic MD. Members who cannot be cleared are told.
What members notice
Hydration first.
The most common observation members from Clear Lake report after a Myers drip is mental clarity through the afternoon and steadier energy across the next day. NAD+ members describe a slower-onset effect — usually by the second or third session. Athletic-recovery drips are most felt the morning after a heavy training block. None of this is promised. It is what members report across the club.
Sequencing in the suite
Where IV sits in the week.
IV sits well alongside cryotherapy, HBOT, infrared sauna, and red light therapy. Dr. Chaudhari and the Elite Aesthetic MD team typically program a Myers after a strength block, NAD+ on a deload week, and athletic-recovery between competition rounds. The sequencing is set against the week's training load, not against any single day. WEF coordinates access; the consult with Elite Aesthetic MD finds the right protocol.

Common questions
Frequently asked.
Is Elite Aesthetic MD a separate practice from Wellness Elite Fitness?
Yes. Dr. Swet Chaudhari's practice, Elite Aesthetic MD, operates independently inside the WEF building. IV therapy is administered by Elite Aesthetic MD — not by WEF staff. The two share one address in Friendswood, which is why a single trip can cover both a wellness session and time in the recovery suite.
How does the drive from Clear Lake City or Bay Oaks typically go?
Most Clear Lake residents are on Bay Area Boulevard or NASA Parkway within minutes of leaving their neighborhood. Either route reaches Friendswood in roughly 15 to 25 minutes depending on time of day. El Dorado Boulevard connecting to FM-528 is a clean alternative from the southern end of the area. Traffic on these corridors tends to be straightforward outside peak commute windows.
Can someone from the Clear Lake area come in without a membership or prior appointment to learn more?
Absolutely. No membership and no prior appointment are needed to walk through the WEF facility and ask questions. Day passes are available, and the team is glad to introduce you to the space, explain how Elite Aesthetic MD operates within the building, and let you decide what makes sense. Everyone is welcome to start with a look around.
How far is IV therapy from Clear Lake?
12 to 18 minutes, via FM-528 or NASA Parkway. The recovery suite is inside Wellness Elite Fitness at 104 Whispering Pines Ave, Friendswood, TX 77546.
Who administers the drips?
Elite Aesthetic MD, the independent medical practice adjacent to WEF. Dr. Swet Chaudhari, MD — Medical Director of Elite Aesthetic MD — reviews member labs before high-dose loading.
What's in a Myers cocktail?
Magnesium, calcium, B-complex, and vitamin C - the foundational micronutrient blend. The standard workhorse drip.
What does NAD+ do?
NAD+ is a coenzyme involved in cellular metabolism. The clinical literature on infused NAD+ is still maturing — Elite Aesthetic MD frames it as such at intake. Sessions run an hour-plus and are typically programmed as a series.
How often should I do IV therapy?
Cadence depends on the protocol and labs. Most members run a Myers every two to four weeks; NAD+ is typically a series; glutathione is condition-dependent.
Are labs required first?
For high-dose vitamin loading, yes - within the last twelve months. Certain conditions shift the conversation entirely. The intake review happens before any first drip.
Does insurance cover IV therapy?
Almost never. Some HSA/FSA plans reimburse with documentation; Elite Aesthetic MD provides receipts on request.
Can IV be stacked with cryotherapy or HBOT?
Yes. IV is commonly programmed alongside cryotherapy, HBOT, infrared sauna, and red light therapy. The sequencing is set against the week's training load.
Sequenced into the recovery suite.
An IV on its own is a session. An IV sequenced with sauna, cryotherapy, and the strength block is a practice. Membership coordinates access — the consult with Elite Aesthetic MD finds the right protocol and tier.
