"The lab work changed which drips I booked. The drips I booked changed the lab work."

IV therapy is at its most useful when it's informed by data — your data, not the average. If you're dripping monthly or more, here are the markers worth getting baseline numbers on, what reasonable cadence looks like, and what you're actually looking for.

Premium Insights

A baseline metabolic panel and CBC are the floor. Sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, glucose, creatinine, BUN, and a complete blood count run together cost less than two drips and rule out the conditions where IV therapy needs to be modified or paused. Repeat at six months for any consistent program.

Vitamin D and B12 are worth tracking specifically. Both deplete differently than a standard panel reveals. A 25-OH vitamin D level and a B12 with methylmalonic acid will tell you whether your IV B-12 is actually filling a deficit or maintaining a healthy floor — and the answer changes how aggressively to dose.

Inflammatory markers tell the long story. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein, ferritin, and homocysteine track how the body is doing across cycles. If you're dripping for performance or longevity reasons, these are the markers that tell you if the program is working better than the calendar does.

Power Move

Run a baseline panel before your next milestone — an event, a season change, a calendar reset. The numbers anchor the conversation.
