As we step into the New Year, we are thrilled to spotlight Taja Abitbol, a trailblazer redefining health and wellness through her innovative ventures. With her New York and Miami-based wellness center, Taja Drip, Taja is carving a unique space in the world of IV therapy and biohacking. Her soon-to-launch collection of anti-aging and wellness products is set to revolutionize the industry. As the wife of legendary New York Yankee David Cone and mother to their son, Sammy, Taja has spent decades immersed in the world of high-performance athletes, gaining unparalleled

insights into longevity and optimal health.

Beyond wellness, Taja’s creativity shines through her upcoming Taja Style fashion line, which launched this month. Her vision extends to creating a wellness hotel brand, making it clear that her empire is ever-expanding.

In this exclusive interview, Taja shares her journey, her approach to health, and how she’s helping clients embrace the “New Year, New You” mindset.

What inspired you to start Taja Drip, and how does it align with your vision of health and wellness for the new year?Taja Drip was inspired by my own need for top-quality health solutions. Having a partner in professional sports and managing the fast-paced world of restaurants and nightclubs in New York, I realized how crucial it was to keep my body and mind performing at their best. Taja Drip is a culmination of my passion for wellness and my desire to offer only the best to others.

With “New Year, New You” being the theme, what are some ways Taja Drip helps clients set wellness goals and achieve them?At Taja Drip, we embrace a year-round philosophy of “The Art of Wellness.” January is a great time to start, but consistency is key. Regular IV therapy, NAD infusions, red light therapy, and oxygen treatments are some of the foundational biohacking methods we offer to help clients reach their wellness goals.

How does Taja Drip’s approach to IV therapy differ from other wellness services, especially when it comes to supporting a fresh start in January?What sets us apart is our proprietary formulas. Each treatment is free from additives and preservatives and carefully sourced to ensure 100% efficacy. When clients choose Taja Drip, they can trust that every ingredient works to deliver real, measurable results.

What are some popular treatments clients are seeking in January, and why do they resonate with those looking to refresh and recharge?January is all about resets, and our clients love treatments that offer a full-body refresh. Our packages combine signature IV treatments with NAD, oxygen therapy, and red light therapy. Together, they provide a comprehensive wellness reset, giving clients the rejuvenation they’re looking for.

Many people focus on detoxing or re-energizing after the holidays. What do you recommend from Taja Drip for those looking to bounce back and feel their best?I always recommend starting with The Taja Effect, our enhanced version of the classic Meyers Cocktail. It’s packed with vitamins and minerals to rehydrate, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy cell regeneration. It’s the perfect formula to help you feel like your best self again.

IV therapy can sometimes feel intimidating. What would you say to someone considering it for the first time to kickstart their wellness journey?It’s all about mindset. Many people feel apprehensive at first, but once they experience the process with our highly trained medical professionals, those fears melt away. We ensure every client feels comfortable and confident, and most become loyal customers after their first visit.

The health and wellness landscape has evolved rapidly. How has Taja Drip adapted to new trends or needs in wellness, especially with so many focusing on a strong start to 2025?We’ve always been ahead of the curve. From groundbreaking techniques to staying deeply connected to emerging wellness trends, we live and breathe what we offer. At Taja Drip, our clients can always count on receiving the most advanced and effective treatments available.

How do you incorporate mindfulness or other wellness practices into Taja Drip’s services to create a holistic wellness experience?Our centers are more than just wellness facilities—they’re vibrant communities. Clients bond over a shared passion for longevity and optimal health, and it’s that sense of connection that truly enhances the experience. It’s one of my favorite aspects of what we’ve built.

What does “New Year, New You” personally mean to you, and how does that philosophy reflect in your brand?It’s about reflecting on the past year, learning from its challenges and triumphs, and stepping into the new year with renewed strength and focus. At Taja Drip and across all Taja brands, we embody this philosophy through constant evolution, research, and a commitment to delivering the best for our clients.

Finally, could you share a few wellness habits or rituals you believe in for maintaining health and energy throughout the year?I practice what I preach, using every service we offer at Taja Drip to stay at my best. I also believe in nurturing creativity, which is why I’m so excited about the new season of Taja Style and my vision for a wellness hotel. This year is going to be incredible, and I can’t wait to share it with everyone.
