- Why patient selection and clinical judgement matter more than the drip itself
- IV vs oral supplements — why absorption makes such a big difference
- The most commonly used treatments: iron, vitamin C, and B12
- Possible side effects, and why they're usually short-lived and manageable
- "Need vs want" — when IV therapy is genuinely necessary versus optional
- Why it should always support medical treatment, never replace it
- What to check for before booking a session (certification, medical history checks, follow-up care)
