Are your services covered by health insurance?

Yes! Naturopathic medicine is covered by most extended healthcare benefit plans in Ontario. To make things as easy as possible for you, we offer direct billing to the majority of major insurance providers. It's always a good idea to check in with your insurance provider beforehand to see exactly how much coverage you have for naturopathic care so there are no surprises!

Can you see people who live outside of Ontario?

No. Since naturopathic medicine is regulated provincially, we are only licensed to treat individuals who are physically located within Ontario. If you live anywhere in the province of Ontario, we're good to go!

How do specialized lab tests work if we meet online?

You will be emailed a lab requisition form that you can take to any LifeLabs location in Ontario. If we utilize advanced functional medicine testing (like specialized stool, urine, or breath analysis), the test kits are shipped directly to your house with clear instructions for easy, at home collection.

IV THERAPY & INJECTIONS

IV Nutrient Therapy

Customized intravenous infusions designed to deliver high-dose vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream with full bioavailability.

Custom formulasBioavailable

VirtualOntario-wide

Deep systemic recovery

Bypassing digestive barriers to restore cellular energy

While oral supplementation is a foundational part of many long-term health plans, the digestive tract can present a significant bottleneck. Factors like chronic stress, gastrointestinal inflammation, and certain medication side effects can drastically reduce how much nutrition your body actually absorbs. IV nutrient therapy delivers precise, clinical concentrations of essential micronutrients straight into your circulation, ensuring your cells can immediately access what they need to repair and thrive.

Since JOSIE operates as a virtual-first practice, we coordinate your advanced hands-on clinical care seamlessly behind the scenes. Your personalized nutrient protocols are formulated based on your distinct lab markers and safely administered in a calm environment at our partner naturopathic IV lounge in Etobicoke, Toronto.

Full bioavailability by completely bypassing gut limitations.
Tailored formulas containing high-dose vitamins, minerals, and target antioxidants.
Administered at our partner clinic in Etobicoke, Toronto for active patients.

Formulated for your cells

A customized blend built around your health data

We don't offer generic, pre-made IV cocktails. Every single infusion is built individually from scratch to target your specific cellular and metabolic needs. Your customized formula typically includes a targeted base of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and can be further specialized with functional compounds:

Vitamins & Minerals: High-dose vitamin C, a comprehensive B-vitamin profile (including B12, B5, and B6), magnesium, calcium, zinc, and selenium.
Advanced Antioxidants: Glutathione to support systemic detoxification and cellular defense.
Target Amino Acids: Specialized compounds like L-carnitine, L-glutamine, and L-arginine can be seamlessly added when clinically indicated to support muscle recovery, tissue repair, and metabolic health.

Can a Biopsy Make Cancer Spread? Separating Fear From Evidence

For most cancers, no, not in any meaningful way. A biopsy needle can occasionally carry a small number of cells along its path, but true tumor seeding is extremely rare, and biopsies have not been shown to worsen survival in common cancers like breast cancer. The bigger risk, in almost every case, is delaying the diagnosis.

IV therapy & nutrients

How IV Nutrient Therapy Fits Into a Complete Treatment Plan

IV nutrient therapy isn't a replacement for medical treatment — it's a support tool. Used well, it corrects deficiencies faster than oral supplements can, bypasses a gut that's struggling to absorb nutrients, and helps the body tolerate treatment better. Used badly, it's an expensive drip with no real plan behind it. The difference is whether it's targeted to what your body actually needs.
