IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for maximum absorption and immediate therapeutic effect.
When nutrients are taken orally, absorption can be limited by gut health, enzyme activity, and individual tolerance. Oral bioavailability for many vitamins and minerals ranges from just 10–25%, while IV delivery achieves close to 100%. IV therapy bypasses these barriers entirely, allowing higher concentrations of therapeutic agents to reach your cells. This makes it especially valuable for patients dealing with chronic fatigue, immune challenges, or conditions where oral supplementation alone isn't enough.
I offer a range of IV protocols tailored to individual needs: glutathione IVs for oxidative stress and detoxification, NAD+ infusions for brain function and cellular repair, iron infusions for anemia-related fatigue, phosphatidylcholine for liver support, and chelation therapy for heavy metal detoxification. Research published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine supports the use of intravenous micronutrient therapy for conditions including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and acute asthma. Each protocol is customized based on your lab work, symptoms, and health goals.
As Dr. Alan Gaby, author of the seminal textbook Nutritional Medicine, wrote: 'Intravenous nutrient therapy can achieve serum concentrations not obtainable with oral administration, which may be necessary for a therapeutic effect.' Whether you're looking for an immune boost, recovering from illness, or seeking support for a chronic condition, IV therapy can be a powerful addition to your treatment plan. All infusions are administered in a comfortable, monitored setting at my Salt Spring Island office.

Laboratory Testing
Functional and conventional laboratory testing provides a deeper understanding of your health, from hormones and gut health to infections, heavy metals, mold exposure, nutrition, inflammation, and metabolic function. Testing gives me the objective data I need to build targeted treatment plans.
Targeted Supplementation
Not all supplements are created equal, and more isn't always better. I prescribe professional-grade supplements based on your lab work, health history, and specific deficiencies. The goal is precision: the right nutrients, in the right forms, at the right doses.
Clinical Nutrition
Clinical nutrition addresses nutrient deficiencies, optimizes digestion, and builds a plan around your life. Whether you're managing a chronic condition, working through gut issues, or just want to feel better day-to-day, I'll focus on whole foods, targeted supplementation, and realistic lifestyle shifts.
