To better understand what’s happening beneath the surface, Dr. Lauren may recommend laboratory or functional testing.

Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is used to help restore hormonal balance and relieve symptoms related to hormonal shifts. It can support individuals experiencing concerns such as perimenopause, menopause, low libido, fatigue, sleep disturbances, or mood changes. HRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the body. Dr. Lauren begins with a thorough assessment and appropriate screening to ensure the treatment is safe, well-suited to your needs, and designed to minimize risk while optimizing benefits.

IV Nutrient Therapy & Injections

IV nutrient therapy and intramuscular (IM) injections offer a direct way to deliver essential vitamins and minerals into the bloodstream for efficient absorption. These treatments can be especially helpful in addressing nutrient deficiencies linked to chronic illness, digestive concerns, stress, or periods of recovery. They also support energy, immune health, and detoxification. By bypassing the digestive system, IV and IM therapies provide targeted support to help restore balance and promote overall wellness.

IV & Injections Menu

IM Injections

B12

Vitamin B12 supports the synthesis of DNA, fatty acids, and the myelin sheath that protects nerve cells. It is commonly used to address B12 deficiency, fatigue, and support overall cellular function.

MIC is a blend of nutrients that supports healthy metabolism, liver function, and blood sugar regulation. It is used to promote fat metabolism and assist in maintaining balanced cholesterol levels.

A combination of B vitamins and homeopathic remedies designed to support adrenal health and the body’s ability to adapt to stress.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that acts like a hormone in the body, influencing over 200 genes. It’s commonly used to address vitamin D deficiency, especially when oral supplementation is not effective for rapid correction.

IV Infusions

Myer’s IV

The Myer’s Cocktail is a combination of IV fluids, electrolytes, minerals, B vitamins, and vitamin C. This IV therapy supports immune function, energy levels, and overall wellness, making it an ideal option for those needing nutrient replenishment.

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that helps detoxify the body, supports liver function, and protects cells from oxidative stress. It is widely used to support healthy aging, skin health, and assist in the body’s natural detoxification processes.

High-dose IV vitamin C works differently from the vitamin C you get in food or supplements. When given in large amounts directly into the bloodstream, it can act as a pro-oxidant, meaning it helps produce special molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS can damage cancer cells, which are more vulnerable to this kind of stress than normal cells. High-dose IV vitamin C is being explored as part of an integrative cancer protocol, where it may help support the effects of conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation.

Both IM & IV Options

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)

NAD+ is a coenzyme essential for energy production and metabolic processes. It can be administered both intravenously and intramuscularly, depending on the treatment plan. NAD+ infusions or injections are commonly used to support energy levels, cognitive function, and overall cellular health.

Pharmaceuticals Icon -Dr. Lauren Pichichero Naturopathic Doctor Victoria BC
