Episode notes

In this powerful episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada sits down with Dr. Mitch Ghen — one of the world’s leading pioneers in IV nutrition, integrative medicine, and regenerative therapies. Known as “the OG behind IV therapy”, Dr. Mitch has trained thousands of medical professionals globally and authored multiple foundational textbooks in the field.

This conversation goes way beyond IV drips. Dr. Mitch opens up about:

His childhood obsession with chemistry (including accidentally anesthetizing a friend at age 12!)
The moment that inspired him to walk away from a business career and pursue medicine
How mind-body-spirit alignment influences real patient outcomes
Why most medical providers misunderstand vitamins, nutrients, and the Krebs cycle
The dangers of today’s retail IV clinics — and what safe IV therapy actually requires
High-dose vitamin C: what counts, what doesn’t, and when G6PD REALLY matters
The truth about preservatives, plastics, and toxins in IV bags
How to build real precision IV therapy using biomarkers, physiology, and biochemistry
Why faith, empathy, and human connection are still the most powerful tools in medicine

Whether you’re an IV clinic owner, a medical provider, or a patient who wants to understand real integrative medicine — this episode will completely change how you see IV therapy, healing, and human biology.

Watch this episode to learn the science, the ethics, and the heart behind true IV nutritional therapy.
