Bio

Dr. Elif Torun is the founder of Dr. Torun’s Clinic and a fully registered doctor with the Irish Medical Council. She holds medical qualifications from the Ministries of Health in both Turkey and Romania, with a background in obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, and aesthetic and regenerative medicine.

Her clinical interests centre on regenerative medicine: IV therapies, with a particular focus on iron infusions, NAD+ and vitamin drips; Ozone-Oxygen-Therapy; and women’s health, especially menopause care, hormonal health and family planning. She combines evidence-based medicine with therapies that support both preventative and restorative health.

Her career has taken her across several countries. In 2014 she was Deputy Chief Physician at a teaching and research hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia, working within an international medical team, and in 2015 she became Medical Director and Head Team Physician of Hewa Bora Hospital in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo. She later furthered her training in regenerative medicine at the Riordan Clinic in Kansas, USA, a recognised centre for integrative and orthomolecular medicine.

In Ireland she worked as a doctor with the Irish Prison Service, the Irish Defence Forces and Centric Health before founding Dr. Torun’s Clinic in 2023. Before introducing Ozone-Oxygen-Therapy, she trained in the therapy and visited the manufacturer of the clinic’s device, HAB® in Germany. At the clinic, Ozone-Oxygen-Therapy is offered only where clinically appropriate, as a complementary approach alongside conventional medical care.

Beyond medicine, she is committed to human rights advocacy and health equity, and to helping people take control of their physical and mental wellbeing.

“For me, healthcare is not only about treating illness. It is about supporting people to live healthier, fuller and more empowered lives.”

FAQ

Questions for Dr. Torun.

Are IV drips safe?

When given by a doctor or qualified nurse in a clinical setting, IV drips are generally safe. We screen every patient for kidney problems, allergies and medication interactions before treatment. You are monitored throughout the infusion.

How often can I have IV drips?

For wellness drips, every 2-4 weeks is typical. Medical drips like iron infusion are dosed differently and depend on your bloods. We will recommend the right frequency for you at your consultation.

Do I need blood tests before an IV drip?

For wellness drips, often not. For iron infusion, yes, recent bloods are essential. If you have specific symptoms we will likely recommend bloods anyway, to make sure we are treating the right thing.

Why is a NAD+ drip given slowly?

Given too quickly, NAD+ commonly causes warm flushing, chest tightness, nausea, abdominal discomfort and lightheadedness. These effects are uncomfortable rather than dangerous, and usually settle as soon as the rate is slowed. To keep you comfortable we run the infusion slowly and adjust the pace to how you feel, so it takes longer than a standard drip. Plan for a longer appointment.

Is an IV drip better than drinking water?

For everyday thirst, drinking water is perfectly adequate and much cheaper. An IV drip comes into its own when you cannot keep fluids down, are losing them faster than you can drink, or are moderately to severely dehydrated, situations where oral rehydration is not enough.

Is it appropriate for me?

Ozone-Oxygen-Therapy is for adults aged 18 and over, after an individual medical assessment of your history, indication and any contraindications. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and it is not suitable with some conditions, including hyperthyroidism, low blood pressure, coagulation problems, a recent heart attack or G6PD deficiency.
