Host Dr. Kate Dee breaks down what actually happens when your body absorbs water, vitamins, and electrolytes, and why many healthy people paying for IV drips may be buying very expensive urine.She explains when IVs are legitimate medicine, who is legally allowed to prescribe them, and why a nurse handing you a menu and taking your order may be a bigger red flag than most patients realize.She also covers what can happen when IV therapy goes wrong. Not in theory. In real cases. Patients have died after walking into wellness clinics for elective IV treatments, including cases involving improperly handled electrolyte formulas and IV ingredients that never belonged in a vein.The growth of IV bars did not happen because the science suddenly got stronger. It happened because the margins are high, the demand is real, and oversight has not kept up.Stay until the end, because Dr. Kate Dee explains what a legal, ethical IV service should actually look like, what questions to ask before anyone touches your vein, and when the safer choice is simply water, electrolytes, and time.Press play and learn why a billion-dollar industry might be built on something your body never needed.Find or Get Your Medspa Certified: https://medspaboard.com/ Grab Your Copy of Medspa Mayhem the Book Today: HERELearn about The MedSpa Board — the national registry that verifies legally compliant, doctor-led med spas.Find a certified provider near you → MedspaBoard.comWant the anti-aging essentials I actually use: Download my FREE  Gift GuideFollower Instagram: instagram.com/drkatedeePlease leave us a review on Apple Podcast: HERE Catch full podcast episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrKateDeeGLOW Medspa - Seattle, WA: https://glowspaseattle.com/Disclaimer:  This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
