Reclaim Your Energy: How IV Iron Infusion Can Transform Your Health at Joayo Therapy
Do you often feel unusually tired, weak, or out of breath—even after a good night’s sleep? If so, your body might be trying to tell you something: low iron levels could be at the root of your fatigue. At Joayo Therapy in Brentwood, Burnaby, we offer IV Iron Infusion therapy to help restore your energy, support healthy blood function, and improve your overall well-being.
Led by Naturopathic Doctor Maral Afifi, our IV Iron Infusion service is designed for those who need an effective, efficient solution to iron deficiency and anemia-related symptoms. This blog will explain what IV Iron Infusion is, how it works, who can benefit from it, and why Joayo Therapy is your trusted destination for this revitalizing treatment.
Understanding Iron Deficiency and Its Symptoms
Iron is a vital mineral your body needs to produce hemoglobin—a protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen throughout your body. When iron levels drop, your body can’t make enough healthy red blood cells, leading to a condition known as iron deficiency anemia.
Common symptoms of low iron levels include:
Persistent fatigue and weakness
Pale skin and cold hands or feet
Shortness of breath, even with mild exertion
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Headaches
Brittle nails and hair loss
Brain fog or trouble concentrating
For some individuals, iron supplements taken orally can resolve these symptoms over time. However, oral iron isn’t always well absorbed, and it often causes digestive upset such as constipation, nausea, or cramping. IV Iron Infusion offers a more direct and often faster path to recovery.
What Is IV Iron Infusion?
IV Iron Infusion is a medical treatment that delivers iron directly into your bloodstream via an intravenous (IV) drip. This method bypasses your digestive system, ensuring that your body receives and absorbs the iron more efficiently and in larger quantities.
At Joayo Therapy, our IV Iron Infusion treatment is administered by Dr. Maral Afifi, a licensed and experienced naturopathic doctor. The session typically lasts around 90 minutes and takes place in a calm, professional environment designed to promote relaxation and healing.
Benefits of IV Iron Infusion
IV Iron Infusion is not just about correcting a deficiency—it’s about restoring your vitality and helping you feel like yourself again. Some of the benefits include:
Rapid Fatigue Recovery By increasing iron availability in your body, IV infusion helps your red blood cells carry oxygen more efficiently, improving energy levels almost immediately for many patients.
Improved Cognitive Function Better oxygen delivery means improved brain function. Many patients report clearer thinking, better memory, and reduced "brain fog."
Healthier Skin, Hair, and Nails Iron supports cell renewal and growth. With balanced iron levels, your skin glows, your hair strengthens, and your nails become less brittle.
Enhanced Immune System Iron plays a crucial role in immune response. With better oxygenation and cellular function, your body is more capable of fighting off illness.
Support for Postpartum Recovery Many new mothers experience significant iron loss during childbirth. IV iron is a safe and effective way to restore iron levels quickly, especially when breastfeeding.
Treatment for Anemia and Chronic Illness Those dealing with chronic blood loss, gastrointestinal disorders, or inflammatory diseases often benefit significantly from IV Iron Infusion.
Who Should Consider IV Iron Therapy?
IV Iron Infusion is often recommended for patients who:
Have been diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia
Do not tolerate oral iron supplements
Need rapid replenishment due to surgery, childbirth, or chronic illness
Are athletes experiencing fatigue and decreased performance
Have gastrointestinal conditions that impair iron absorption (e.g., Crohn's, Celiac Disease)
Before beginning treatment, Dr. Afifi will assess your condition through a comprehensive consultation, including reviewing lab work and medical history to ensure IV Iron is appropriate for you.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
The IV Iron Infusion at Joayo Therapy takes approximately 90 minutes. Here’s what to expect:
Pre-Consultation Dr. Maral Afifi will assess your medical history, current symptoms, and lab results. A personalized treatment plan will be developed to address your specific needs.
Treatment Session You will be comfortably seated in our treatment room. The IV will be inserted into your arm and iron will be slowly infused into your bloodstream. Most clients relax, listen to music, or read during the session.
Aftercare There may be mild side effects such as fatigue or a metallic taste, but these typically subside within a day. You can return to most daily activities immediately after treatment.
