This New Brisbane Clinic Offers The Perfect Hangover Cure

The Hangover Cure

By Natalie McGowan | 7th November 2025

On a slightly dusty Monday after one too many wines with the girls the afternoon before, I swapped my usual caffeine-and-carb hangover combo for a healthier kind of cocktail.

We’ve all seen the craze take over LA, with celebs like the Jenners and Biebers casually hooking themselves up to IV drips like it’s their daily green juice. I’d even tried it myself overseas, after waking up with a bad case of food poisoning in Thailand and having a mobile IV service arrive at my bedside a mere hour later. But back home in Australia, it felt like we were a few steps behind. Until now, that is.

Enter Third Spring Medical, the brainchild of newly engaged couple Harry Lewis and Ace Tamayo, bringing IV therapy and holistic wellness straight to Brisbane’s CBD. Their mission? To make feeling and looking good accessible, personal, and backed by science.

It all started with Ace’s own health and weight loss journey, when a blood test revealed deficiencies affecting his weight and energy, prompting both him and Harry to dive deep into the connection between biology and wellbeing.  Now, they want to do the same thing for others.

Partnering with two of their close friends, a surgeon and a tech expert, the foundations of the clinic are rooted in holistic, innovative bio-hacking-based approaches.

Patients typically start with a thorough blood test to pinpoint vitamin or hormone imbalances and tailor a plan to suit individual needs. But if you’re just looking for a quick recovery boost (say, after a big night out), you can also book an IV drip with no blood test required.

Having expanded from their Surfers Paradise digs to Wilston (based out of Metabolic Health Hub) and soon Ipswich, the new Edward Street clinic redefines the wellness experience through a modern lens.

Out with the stark and clinical, in with the spa-like ambience. Designed for both individuals and groups, with four treatment rooms, the space can accommodate up to 15 people receiving IV drips together – a perfect setup for that post-hens party debrief or a midday wellness reset for city workers.

And while most people think to book a drip after a big night, Harry suggests flipping the script to prevent the hangover altogether.

“Doing it before will elevate you so that when you inevitably dip, you just return back to baseline, rather than being at baseline, dipping below, then returning to baseline again,” he says.

He continues, “When you’re hungover, your salt levels are dropped, your electrolytes are dropped, all these things are happening in your body, and your general function will be impacted. The IV provides the minerals and vitamins; the hydration factor is massive. You’re talking potentially four times as much… So if you have a half-litre bag, it’s essentially like if you drank two litres of water – you get the impact immediately through the bloodstream.”

I opted for the Life Boost IV, a hydrating all-rounder that left me feeling instantly revived and clear-headed. Other options on the menu include the Glow IV, supporting collagen and skin health; the Immune Defence IV, strengthening your immune system; The John Cocktail, restoring balance and vitality, inspired by close friend of Harry and Ace, Australian physician Dr John Ryan; and the NAD+ IV, for cellular renewal and anti-ageing.

By the time I left 45 minutes later – headache gone and energy restored – I realised the best hangover cure sometimes means ditching the bacon and egg roll or triple-shot latte, and opting for a science-backed pick-me-up that actually makes you feel like a functioning human again. Let’s just say, next time I’m having a few wines, Third Spring Medical should expect a call from me the morning after (or before).
