** ^^ This button will take you to calendar with the "Iron infusion consult and treatment" selected. This will ensure we have enough time to do both. Please only book this if you already have your blood work complete. (If you have your blood work already please email it ahead of time).
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 down 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.

What Nature Can Teach Us About Overcoming Anxiety
"I'm going to use nature as my best teacher." - Coach Tonia
What we see in Nature is an ACUTE FIGHT or FLIGHT response.
Can nature teach us anything about overcoming our anxiety. Oh yes it can.
Our stress response is perfectly designed to keep us safe from acute danger.
Where it falls short is when our stress is chronic and our sympathetic nervous systems stay ramped up and elevated 24/7.
This is implicated in most (if not all) chronic, degenerative diseases. Ick.
So what do we do about this?
Watch this video to find out this simple biohacking method to get your body out of stress (fight / flight) mode and back into rest / digest / heal mode.
Wanting to read more about this? Click here to check out this post from my Dr. Tonia archives.
And that’s exactly what I do.
I help people who tend to be stuck in flight or flight mode which causes them to experience the burnout or insomnia cycle:
To calm their minds, sleep deeply, and find joy and energy in their lives.
This is my favourite way of working with people - me at my best. I’m actively searching for people who are ready to be the type of person who currently stuck somewhere in this cycle but ready to break through it to spend more of their time in rest / digests / heal - AKA PEACE mode, easily and effortlessly..
Folks who are looking for a simple and swift way for change to be easy and good things to come into their health and life as result.
So if you're the type of person who is stuck looping around this burnout or insomnia cycle, maybe not knowing where to start, or maybe knowing what to do, but not doing it, and really are ready to create a path towards your own well-being... then your first best step could be to by my book:
BREAK THROUGH THE INSOMNIA CYCLE: HOW TO SLEEP DEEPLY, WAKE RESTED, AND ENJOY HAPPY, ENERGIZED DAYS
Aaaaand.... if you already know that you're the over being stuck with your stressful thoughts and worries, then maybe you also already know you're really, REALLY ready breakthrough this cycle and are wanting some personal help to do just that... then book a discovery call with me or my team. Simply:

We'll meet via Zoom, chat heart to heart to discover if where you're at and what you're wanting is a match for how I love to help and provide value.
