The other morning I woke up with my alarm, which I most commonly set for 5:45 am. Now here’s the thing. I sleep with custom made earplugs because I sleep with a Snorasaurus. (It’s the best $200 I’ve ever spent). They're very effective, these earplugs. I miss many kerfuffles (watch the video below for a funny story)!

So this particular morning, I woke up with my alarm and when I opened my eyes to look at my clock, it was 6:08 am. My alarm had been ringing for 23 minutes. It's a very effective system. Effective for what, though? Effective for me getting the sleep that I apparently needed. Thankfully I have enough of a buffer in my morning that I was fine and not going to be late for anything. 

I’ll also mention that very commonly, when my husband is in bed with me, my alarm wakes him up, and he wakes me up. That's a common scenario. This particular morning he had already left for work. So… when he’s not in bed, 23 minutes. I have to bring it back to health. 

The question for you today that is being unveiled by this ridiculous story is: 

• Is what you're doing effective? 

• Is what you're doing getting you closer to the results that you want in your health and well-being? 

If it's not, then make a change. If you can't make a change, I have tons of tools for that. Mind, body, healing tools. 

However, that's not what I'm here to offer you. I want to let you know that sometimes we need to actually support our physiology and cellular health first, before we can even think about making changes.  

I love doing that with IV nutrient therapy. It's a great way of filling up the fuel tanks. 

It's very effective at getting nutrients inside cells without having to worry about the gut. And it's very effective at:

• boosting energy

• balancing the immune system

• supporting stress tolerance, stress resilience, so your experience of stress goes down

• supporting mitochondrial health and energy production in the body. 

Did I say energy already? Because energy! Sometimes you just need that - a quick, physiological and cellular win. If you don't have the luxury of an extra 23 minutes in your morning to sleep in when you need it, then maybe IV therapy is for you. I'm happy to help. You’re in the perfect place. 

Let's get you nutrified with intravenous IV nutrient Therapy by me, Dr. Tonia Winchester, a Nanaimo Naturopathic Doctor, and certified IV nutrient therapist.

This is all taking place at Knead Therapy in Nanaimo, BC, central Vancouver Island.
