IV Nutritional Therapy

Fast, Effective Natural Treatment

Gives you 100% delivery of fluid, electrolytes and vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream.

What is IV Nutritional Therapy?

IV Therapy is intravenous (“into the vein”) administration of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Nutrients are infused directly into the bloodstream, for immediate use by your cells.

The nutrients in the IV bag are customized based on your health concerns and wellness goals. It offers fast, specific repletion of nutrients. Our experienced Naturopathic Physicians use the highest grade nutrients, to keep you feeling your best.

Why Nutritional IV Therapy?

100% absorption: IV administration of nutrients bypasses the digestive system, achieving 100% absorption into the bloodstream. This makes nutrients immediately available for cellular use
Replenish nutrients: specific nutrient deficiencies can be targeted in your IV bag, often at higher doses than what can be achieved through oral dosing - helping you replete your nutrients faster
All in one bag: if there are numerous nutrients required in your protocol (i.e. antioxidant and mitochondrial support, or digestive concerns with several deficient nutrients); this may be an easier solution

The Process Is Simple

Free Phone Consult

At your free phone consultation, you and our clinician will discuss your case, medical history, any medications you’re taking, and most important of all, your goals. We want to be certain that our program will meet your needs and there is a high probability of success for you before we move on to the next step.
Assessment & Treatment Plan

Once your free consultation is complete and you agree to move forward, the next step is to book an appointment. At this appointment, your clinician will re-assess your symptoms, other relevant factors, and your goals, in order to devise a specific formula catered to you. Your IV will consist of vital vitamins and micronutrients to support you.
Active Treatment & Symptom Resolution

You’ll return for regular visits (exact frequency to be determined by your practitioner) to ensure close support as you begin to feel the positive shifts of the therapy. We want to make sure your treatment plan is yielding the expected results. Generally, we recommend anywhere from 3-12 sessions, to maximize the nutrients available for cellular use.
Transitional Care As Your Condition Stabilizes

Once we see stable improvements, we will begin to reduce the frequency of your visits. We’ll be here in case you ever want to come in for a tune-up or to address other health concerns that emerge during or after treatment
Taking Care of Your Friends and Loved Ones

We pride ourselves on the fact that 80% of our new patients have been referred to us by our past patients or people in the community who have witnessed their friends and loved ones receiving life-changing benefits from our work.

So we very much look forward to helping your friends, family, and loved ones on their journey to a more joyful, energetic, and purposeful life.

More Reasons to Make IV Therapy a part of your self-care routine

NUTRIENT SUPPORT FOR FERTILITY

Micronutrient injections, also known as vitamin injections, were designed to deliver high dose vitamins that many people are lacking.

ANTIOXIDANT THERAPY: OXIDATIVE STRESS & FERTILITY

Oxidative stress - we hear this word a lot when it comes to fertility, but what does it mean? “Reactive oxygen species” (“ROS”) are chemicals generated during many cellular processes. They play a big part in our immune system, energy production within our mitochondria, cell communication, and more. When controlled, they are a necessary part of our biology. However, when the balance is thrown off, and the ROS levels exceed our antioxidant capacity, we get “oxidative stress”.

Oxidative stress can be destructive; damaging to our cell membranes, enzymes, and our DNA. It can turn on genes that are “pro-inflammatory”, worsening the problem. Chronic oxidative stress has been shown to lead to a number of diseases including inflammation, atherosclerosis, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and more.

WHAT ARE VITAMIN SHOTS? WHY YOU'LL WANT ONE

Micronutrient injections, also known as vitamin injections, were designed to deliver high dose vitamins that many people are lacking.

In a perfect world, we eat healthy food, digest it properly, assimilate and absorb all of the nutrients that we need, and get those nutrients to the cells that need them. Unfortunately, many of us suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. There are many reasons why - lack of vitamins in our food, lack of a well balanced/plant-based diet, an increased demand for vitamins due to high stress or excessive physical activity, or lack of proper digestion, assimilation, and absorption of nutrients.
