GEtting started - what you need IN THREE STEPS

IV IRON INFUSION PROGRAM & COSTS

1. BLOOD WORK

COST: $0 - 120 - $240

  • To be eligible for IV iron infusions I need to see recent bloodwork (taken with in the last 4 weeks)

  • You can either do this through your GP or Nurse practitioner or through me (billed privately). See below.

  • I need to see the following (costs if billed privately through my clinic):

  • Iron panel and CBC (about $120).

  • Liver & Kidney Panels, Electrolytes. (about $120).

2. INJECTION CONSULT

COST: $180

TIME: 45 minutes

  • Because... safety first.

  • Before you are eligible for IV iron therapy we need to have a consult so I can understand the full history and your goals with iron infusion therapy.

  • We'll review your blood work and do any relevant physical exams (blood pressure for example). If it's warranted and safe to do so, and we have enough time allotted ** we can do the first iron infusion that day or book you back in to begin.

  • Please come to your appointment fed and hydrated.

3. TREATMENTS

COST: $200 x 4

TIME: 45 Minutes

  • I use Venofer (iron sucrose) as it comes with the lowest risk and best safety profile (for a clinic my size).

  • I recommend weekly infusions for a total of 4 treatments. Each week your IV will contain up to 100 mg of iron.

  • Your first treatment might be a modified dose, depending on what I learn in your injection consult.

  • Most see clinical improvements between 3 and 21 days after.

  • We typically see ferritin increase by 10-15 points for each 100 mg of iron administered (less if anemic).

  • We will rerun the Iron Panel and CBC approximately 4-5 weeks after your last treatment.

  • Please come to your appointment fed and hydrated.

IV Nutrient Therapy Injection
June 16, 2025•1 min read

Is this day over yet? When you're feeling fried and it's only 11am, you look at the clock with a sigh. You have four more meetings and your kids' dance recital to go. What about dinner? Your promised daily walk? So much for your 10pm bedtime. There's a better way, right?

I spent a lot of years wondering the same thing. I've been burnt out. I know what it's like to be both tired and wired. I've had the sleepless nights with my mind buzzing around like a bee and my energy just sunk. Hi, I'm Dr. Tonia Winchester. There's a better way. A way better way. And I know you're busy, really busy, possibly wishing you had a clone and or are an octopus. I get it.

I understand how perfecting your healthy self-care habits might not be at the top of your to-do list. But don't worry, I also get they may not even be on the list at all. I provide IV nutrient therapy to the depleted, exhausted people of Nanaimo, BC. All so they can recoup some energy, have more focus, increase their tolerance to stress, and get through the day with some semblance of okayness and maybe even some vitality.
