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):

  • Hematology Panel $120 - which includes complete blood count, differential, iron, transferrin saturation, and ferritin. (No fasting required).

  • Comprehensive Panel $240 - "Hematology Panel" above, plus liver & kidney function, electrolytes, blood glucose, cholesterol, etc. (Fasting preferred). This is a great option if you haven't had any blood work done in a year or so.

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.

HAPPY BODIES. HAPPY PEOPLE.

My Favourite Body-Friendly Skin-Care Products

It's literally my job to be a snob about what I put in, on, or keep around my body, and I'm here to teach you the same things.

I love Island Essentials skin care. I use their shampoo, condition, body soap, moisturizers, lip balms, room sprays, essential oils. They are incredibly body and planet friendly and smell amazing.

They are clean, plant-based, contain no synthetics and are never tested on animals. They are even packaging their products in wheat-based containers so they are compostable under the right conditions, with no plastics leaking into the environment.

Transcript

PATIENT:

Dr. Tonia, what skin care do you use?

DR TONIA:

I am a total snob about what I put in my body, what I put on my body, and what I like to keep around my body.

Because, as I've talked about when I've described The Formula For Health, we need to get nutrients in and we need to get waste and toxins out.

Ideally, they don't even get in in the first place.

So, years of searching for good products, I've landed on ones that I absolutely love. The

brand is Island Essentials.

Clean, clean, clean. Never tested on animals. No synthetics. All plants. Mostly organic. Relatively local to where I live. Wheat based (compostable) packaging. And importantly, their products are effective.

I don't have any financial affiliation with them. I just love their products. I use their:

  • shampoos

  • conditioners

  • body soaps

  • deodorants

  • hand creams

  • room sprays

  • essential oils

  • lip chap (I have one in my):

  • home office desk

  • work bag

  • car

  • bedside table

  • dance bag

They do something cool with their deodorants: Something cool that they're doing with their deodorants. Once your tube of deo is completo, then just replace it with a new insert (watch the video to learn what I mean).

As a naturopathic doctor, it is literally my job to be snobby about what I put in, on, and around my body.

Truthfully, it's my job to be snobby about those same things for you.

If you're having a hard time putting good things in your body, come in for nutrient IV therapy.

Not only will it help nutrify your cells, it will also help detoxify the things that your body is dying, literally dying to get rid of.

Look me up. I'm happy to help.

Dr. Tonia :)
