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.

BEHIND THE SHADES. Why is dating so stressful these days. Convo 1
I met with Terraine of the Behind the Shades Podcast and we chatted about how our unconscious programs might affect our ability to date and enjoy intimacy in our relationships.
Listen in or watch below.
TERRAINE'S WORDS:
Tonia joins us to speak about how our thoughts can be our worst enemy when dating. We cause ourselves dating stress by overthinking the situation and making it more complicated than it needs to be. Tonia let's us know that we need to be specific in what we want and what we can offer. This includes resolving any issues from your past and identifying the impact it has on us
