CoQ10 is an amazing nutrient that can help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines! CoQ10 lowers a pain receptor associated with migraines which in turn reduces migraine intensity. At Valeo it is available in an injection allowing for greater absorption and fewer side effects.

Migraine relief with CoQ10 injections! CoQ10 is an antioxidant that is naturally produced in the body. And it can help reduce pain during a migraine! A pain related protein, CGRP, is increased during a migraine. CoQ10 has the ability to reduce the amount of CGRP which means pain is reduced! Having optimal levels can help prevent a migraine and dosing during a migraine can reduce pain. If you suffer from migraines, reach out and let’s try a CoQ10 injection!

Food Sensitivity Testing! A sensitivity is different from an allergy. An allergy is an immediate reaction to a food. A sensitivity is a delayed response that can take 24-72hrs to present. Because of that long window for a reaction it can be difficult to narrow down sensitivities. The food sensitivity test is a blood test to look at IgG reactions (specific immune cells). The foods are then eliminated based on severity of reaction. Common food sensitivity symptoms include:... Digestive complaints - gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, heartburn, etc Rash - eczema Migraines Fatigue Any questions? Comment below or send me a DM!

Heartburn is one of my favourite conditions to treat! It is common for heart burn or acid reflux to be caused by too little stomach acid. Without enough stomach acid the stomach does not close which allows acid to come back up your throat. Increasing stomach acid will signal the stomach to close and stop the heartburn. Heartburn medications will decrease or block stomach acid production which stops the problem but leads to other problems. It can be possible to come off of your acid blockers/PPIs. (Some patients need to stay on them though!) Let me help you stop your heartburn medications!

Vitamin D is so important! Canadians have chronically low Vitamin D levels. For only a short portion of the year, the sun is high enough in the sky for us to create Vitamin D in our skin. During the winter months there is very very little to no Vitamin D production from the sun. Supplementation can be important for a lot of people (although it is important to check with your naturopathic doctor or medical doctor before starting). At Valeo, I offer Vitamin D injections for high absorption of high doses to replace your oral supplementation. Comment below or send me a DM with any questions! Or schedule your vitamin D injection to get optimal vitamin D levels!

Microneedling facials!! Microneedling causes microtrauma to the skin which stimulates collagen production. Collagen helps improve the integrity, texture and complexion of the skin! Pore sizes will decrease, skin will feel smoother and complexion will be clearer. Microneedling facials can be done with hyaluronic acid or PRP (which comes from your own blood). Hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring in the skin to keep skin fuller. PRP has the platelets needed for healing to stimulate collagen and healing a bit faster. Questions about microneedling? Comment below, DM me or schedule a 15 minute meet and greet.

Customized IV therapy is available at Valeo! Enjoy about 45 quiet minutes in the recliners while you absorb all of the amazing vitamins and minerals. Depending on your current health and your goals, different vitamins are added to your bag. The most common ingredients include: Vitamin C Zinc... Selenium Magnesium B12 and the rest of your B vitamins A common combo throughout the winter is an IV drip with a Vitamin D injection. Vitamin D can’t go in the IV but we can easily add it as an injection at the end of your IV. Any questions about IV therapy? Or want to schedule yours? Send me a DM, call the clinic or go online to valeohealthclinic.com.

Food sensitivity testing!! At Valeo, I offer food sensitivity testing through Rocky Mountain Analytical. There are options to test 120-220 foods! It is a simple blood test that indicates reactive and non reactive foods. You get a list of green (good to go), yellow (possibly reactive), and red (avoid!) foods to help narrow down your sensitivities. Common symptoms of food sensitivities are digestive complaints, rashes like eczema, headaches/migraines, fatigue, joint pain and more! Interested in food sensitivity testing?! Send me a DM!

Vitamin D injections are available at Valeo Health Clinic! As the days get shorter and cooler there is less Vitamin D produced by your skin from the sun. Oral or injectable Vitamin D can be an important supplement for some people. The body uses Vitamin D for immune function, to regulate and produce hormones, produce neurotransmitters that influence mood and much more! Book a Vitamin D injection with Dr. Brittany and she will help your find the appropriate dosing schedule for your needs!

I’m always tired! My energy is low! It is one of the most common complaints I hear in the clinic. People feel fatigued, run down, always tired and stressed. Many factors contribute to low energy so we will investigate the cause and treat the cause. Hormones, stress, lifestyle and nutrient deficiencies are common causes. Want to find out why you are always tired and then treat it? Let me help you! DM, go online or call to schedule.

Neural prolotherapy. When TRPV1 receptors are activated on a nerve, there is a release of inflammatory molecules. This causes pain! Mannitol (a sugar) is injected and binds to the TRPV1 receptor. This inhibits the release of inflammatory molecules and restores normal nerve function. This reduces your pain!! Effects occur within a few minutes! Message me to find out if neural prolotherapy is what you need to be pain free!

Before my patients receive a regenerative joint injection, prolotherapy or PRP, there will be a physical exam. This helps determine the pain generators. Then I draw all over your joint to mark major landmarks and where I will inject. Then you get injected! Wondering if prolotherapy or platelet rich plasma is right for you? Schedule a meet and greet or send me a DM!

IV therapy at Valeo involves customized IV bags for every single patient! IV therapy involves an infusion of vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream to bypass digestion. Bypassing digestion allows for greater absorption and better results. Common ingredients include: Vitamin C Magnesium... B12 Zinc Selenium B complex If you are interested in IV therapy, send me a DM and I can answer your questions!

Customized IV therapy! IV therapy can be more beneficial than oral supplementation for some people. Oral supplements are digested and absorbed through the intestines to the bloodstream. IV therapy is put directly into the bloodstream. From the bloodstream the body then delivers the nutrients to the needed cells! Bypassing digestion is extremely beneficial if there are any digestive complaints. Absorption may be limited with intestinal irritation. IV therapy allows for maximum absorption. Wondering if IV therapy is right for you? Send me a DM and let’s chat!

CoQ10! CoQ10 is an antioxidant that the body naturally produces. CoQ10 is the major energy producer in the body! As we age we produce less CoQ10. The major benefits for CoQ10 are:... Energy Muscle Recovery Migraines Anti-aging Heart Health Wondering if CoQ10 is right for you? Send me a message and I’ll answer your questions!

But I’m taking a B12 supplement, why do I need injections? Did you know there are many reasons that a B12 supplement is not absorbed properly? If it is a sublingual (under the tongue) supplement then that’s great! If it is a pill you swallow, you may not be absorbing it properly. The main reasons for needing a B12 injection are:... Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s/Ulcerative Colitis) Taking an acid blocker for acid reflux (PPIs) IBS Digestive complaints such as diarrhea or constipation The main reasons are all digestion related because you cannot absorb the B12 properly. If it is injected, it bypasses digestion and goes straight to the bloodstream. Most common reason for B12 injections is fatigue! DM or follow the link in my bio to schedule your quick 15 minute appointment for a B12!

There are 2 forms of Vitamin D. Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 is found mainly in animal foods such as fish, eggs and cod liver oil. Vitamin D2 is mostly in fortified foods such as cereal. Both are available in supplement form. If Vitamin D is needed for a patient, I always recommend my patients take a Vitamin D3 supplement! One study found that Vitamin D3 was nearly twice as effective at increasing vitamin D levels in the blood when ...compared to Vitamin D2. Vitamin D injections at Valeo are Vitamin D3 form to ensure optimal absorption! More questions about Vitamin D? DM me or comment below!

IV therapy has advantages over oral supplements! 1. Oral supplements have to be digested before being absorbed in to the bloodstream. IV therapy administers vitamins and minerals directly in to the bloodstream bypassing digestion. This allows for greater absorption! 2. Higher doses can be given in an IV. Digestive upset can occur with higher doses of some nutrients but that does not happen with an IV. So higher doses without the side effects! 3. Higher absorption and higher d...oses with IV therapy means greater benefits and less frequency! No more taking your supplements every day! Come to Valeo, relax in a recliner and get all your vitamins and minerals in an IV bag!

Wrinkle prevention! Wrinkle relaxation! Botox! Botox is a neuromodulator that weakens a muscle so it cannot create dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are wrinkles made when the muscle contracts. Dynamic wrinkles become static wrinkles over time. Static wrinkles are wrinkles present when the muscle is relaxed. With Botox, over time static wrinkles will lessen. So Botox can be used to reduce static wrinkles or prevent them from forming! Common treatment areas include:... Forehead Frown lines Crow’s feet Lip flip Message me any questions about Botox! Or schedule by following the link in my bio

Platelet Rich Plasma (aka PRP) PRP is the liquid gold in the tube. This all comes from your own blood!! The PRP is extracted and injected back in to an injured joint. Platelets are a huge player in wound healing. So injecting them into an injured/painful joint allows for healing to be trigger to reduce joint pain. This is helpful after an injury or osteoarthritis has begun to develop. Commonly injected joints are shoulder, knees and hips. Reach out if you have any questions!

Prolotherapy is a form of regenerative injection technique. It uses sugar to trigger the natural healing cascade by causing inflammation. The healing cascade then heals the nagging injury further. The irritation by the sugar causes the body to heal the damaged structure. If you have a nagging injury that you would like to be resolved, send me a DM and we can determine if prolotherapy is the right option for you!
