Feeling drained, run down, or like you just can’t catch up?
IV therapy is one of the most common ways patients come in to recharge and feel like themselves again.

We see people seeking IV support for:

😴 Fatigue, stress, and burnout
💔 Low mood or feeling “off”
🦠 Immune support for those who get sick easily
✈️ Post-travel recovery
🥗 Repleting nutrients when life, stress, or diet aren’t enough

IV therapy isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about restoring what your body has been missing so you can feel grounded, steady, and present again.

Dr. Charity has added extra holiday hours for anyone wanting to use up their benefits before year-end or give their body a boost heading into the holidays:

December 24 — 10–2pm
December 30 — 10–2pm

If you’re wondering whether IV therapy could support you, send us a message — we’re here to help you feel your best.

Jaw pain? Headaches? Ear fullness? You don’t have to just “live with it.”

Most people don’t realize that the jaw is one of the most overworked—and overlooked—areas of the body.

Clenching, grinding, stress, dental work, even poor posture can overload the TMJ and the surrounding muscles.

Our RMT, Kate, is now offering a dedicated TMJ Assessment + Treatment that goes beyond a regular massage:

✨ External + internal jaw muscle release (only if you’re comfortable!)
✨ Assessment of jaw mechanics, neck tension, and contributing patterns
✨ Personalized treatment plan + home care
✨ Support for jaw pain, headaches, ear pressure, lock jaw, and more

If you’ve been dealing with clicking, popping, clenching, migraines, or that stubborn “tight jaw” feeling… this is designed for you.

Your jaw is meant to move freely, without pain.

Ready to feel the difference?

Supplement Spotlight: Ferapro® Iron 🩸

Feeling constantly drained — no matter how much you rest?

Iron deficiency might be the missing piece.

Iron is essential for producing hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen throughout your body. When levels are low, tissues and organs don’t get enough oxygen — leading to fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, and shortness of breath.

Iron deficiency is especially common in women due to menstruation, pregnancy, and increased nutrient demands, but anyone can be affected — particularly if your diet is low in iron or you struggle with absorption.

Signs you may need to check your iron:
• Ongoing fatigue or weakness
• Dizziness or shortness of breath
• Brittle nails or hair thinning
• Pale skin or cold hands/feet

At Soma & Soul, we love FERAPRO® — a clean, vegan iron supplement designed for superior absorption and minimal side effects.

Formulated with glycine for gentle digestion and vitamin C to boost uptake, it’s ideal even for sensitive stomachs.

Available in 30 mg, 75 mg, and 150 mg doses for personalized support.

✨ Remember, your supplement protocol should be individualized for YOU! Book with one of our Naturopathic Doctors to test your levels and find the right fit for you — link in bio.

💡Pro Tip: If your iron supplement doesn’t contain vitamin C, consider taking it with a vitamin C supplement (or a squeeze of lemon in water) to improve absorption.

Thinking about starting a family? 🤍

Preparing your body before pregnancy can make a big difference — for both your health and your baby’s.

Here are 3 key steps to start now:
1️⃣ Get to know your cycle — tracking helps you understand your fertile window.
2️⃣ Check your basics — thyroid, vitamin D, iron, and B12 are important foundations.
3️⃣ Support your body with high-quality prenatal nutrients — folic acid, vitamin D3, and omega-3s are a great place to start.

If you’re thinking about conception or planning for the future, our naturopathic doctors can help you create a personalized preconception plan.

Change is inevitable. Progress is a choice. ✨

There is something unique about the New Year that tends to inspire us. A new beginning provides a fresh calendar giving us a fresh start.

We often think of the New Year as an opportunity to create a new perspective, new actions, new results, new accomplishments, and even new found inner peace.

We need more than wishes to create lasting change.

Why not actively participate in the change that you are after, so we can contribute with thoughtfulness, have the patience to show empathy and listen fully, and love fiercely and compassionately.

If you’re looking for support with achieving your health and wellness goals this year, we’ve got you.

Reach out to our office through our link in bio to schedule an appointment with one of our practitioners and make 2023 the year you resolve your resolutions!

'Tis the season to celebrate.

It can also be a time of over indulgence.

Too much food, too much sugar, and too much to drink.

To save your liver this holiday season we’ve put together a list of our favourite natural hangover remedies to help detox your liver.

NAC: helps your body to manufacture more glutathione, helping your liver and your body to detoxify.

Milk Thistle: helps your body to clear toxins, decrease liver inflammation and prevents glutathione depletion.

B Complex: B vitamins are required for numerous metabolic and cellular processes in the body.

Turmeric or curcumin: Shown to be liver protective with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions.

Hangover Cure IV – Enjoy a hydrating and detoxing drip at Soma and Soul with glutathione, b-vitamins and electrolytes to support your liver and hangover symptoms. It is best to have this IV the following day.

Call our office to set up an initial assessment appointment before receiving vitamin drips.

All the above recommendations can be taken before going out and the morning after to help alleviate the pains of a hangover.

With your liver detoxification supports, make sure you stay hydrated the night of partying and the following day.

Save this post to prep for your next party.

Navigating the holiday feast with IBS? We've got your back! 🙌

Don’t let IBS get in the way of your holiday meals this year. These are our favourite ways to beat uncomfortable bloating 🎈, *ah hem* gas 💨, and digestive discomfort:

1. Eat Mindfully: Savor each bite and chew slowly (30-40 times). It helps digestion and prevents overindulging
2. Turkey Time: Lean protein like turkey is gentle on the stomach. Skip the heavy gravy.
3. Safe Sides: Fill your plate with IBS-friendly sides like roasted veggies and avoid high FODMAP foods
4. Alcohol Awareness: Limit alcohol, as it can irritate your digestive system. Opt for mocktails (we have some great recipes on our blog) or ginger tea.
5. Digestive Enzymes: Consider taking one before your meal. A glass of lemon water before dinner can also help.

If you want to get to the bottom of your digestive issues, our team is here to help. Head to our link in bio to set up a consultation and start your healing journey.

Exhausted from all the holiday things? Feeling you just can’t anymore?

Here are four quick and simple food tips to help you get through the holidays:

1. Eat 3 meals/day: Skipping meals increases cortisol (stress hormone) production and might leave you feeling more anxious and exhausted, which worsens burnout. Remember, coffee does not count as breakfast.

2. Eat protein and veggies at each meal: Start with a couple of bites of your protein first before you eat anything else on your plate. This will anchor your blood sugar, helping to keep your energy stable throughout the day.

3. Hydrate: Feeling exhausted all the time has us opting for caffeine instead of the good ol’ fashioned water. Your brain, cells, and organs need hydration to produce proper energy.

4. Don’t skip the carbs: Cutting carbs can cause your cortisol and ovulation hormones to be affected, leaving your body feeling more stressed and hormonally out of whack. Select your carbs mindfully choosing fibrous and dark-coloured grains such as whole wheat, rye and brown rice. If you are gluten free, try quinoa, sweet potatoes, fruit, and squash or pumpkin

Remember, a little goes a long way. Baby steps are still steps. Healing ourselves takes patience and time.

If you are struggling to take care of yourself or do not know where to start, reach out to our office to connect with a practitioner who can help you begin your healing journey.

Not saying that massage therapy can fix everything, but it can make things better.

Indulge in the ultimate act of self-care. Massage therapy isn't just a luxury; it's a journey to total well-being. Here's why:

Stress Relief: Melt away the day's stress, tension, and worries. Massage promotes relaxation, reducing cortisol levels, and leaving you with a sense of calm.

Muscle Relaxation: Say goodbye to those knots and tight muscles. Our skilled therapists work their magic to release muscle tension, improving flexibility and mobility.

Pain Management: Whether it's chronic pain, headaches, or post-workout soreness, massage therapy can provide relief and enhance your body's natural healing abilities.

Improved Sleep: Experience better sleep quality as massage triggers the release of serotonin, promoting restful nights and improved sleep patterns.

Enhanced Circulation: Stimulate blood flow and lymphatic drainage, aiding in the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to your cells while removing toxins.

Mental Clarity: Clear your mind and boost mental clarity. Massage can improve focus, concentration, and overall cognitive function.

Immune Support: Regular massage therapy can boost your immune system by reducing stress and promoting relaxation.

Prioritize self-care and let healing touch be your guide to a happier, healthier you. It's not just a massage; it's a journey to self-discovery and well-being.
