IV Therapy: Fad or Science? Dr Tanya Breaks It Down

IV drips are everywhere on social media right now, but is there real science behind them, or is it just a trend? Dr Tanya gives an honest, doctor's-eye view of IV therapy — what it actually does, who it's really for, and the misconceptions worth clearing up.

What You'll Learn:

• Why IV therapy has exploded on social media, and the real science behind it

• The biggest misconception: it's not a beauty salon treatment, it's a medical one
• 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)
• Where she sees the most value
