Detoxify and Protect Your Heart.
Over time, toxic heavy metals like lead, mercury, or arsenic can accumulate in the body, contributing to fatigue, cognitive decline, and cardiovascular disease. Chelation therapy uses a specialized compound that binds to metals in the bloodstream so they can be safely excreted.
Conditions & Concerns Supported
- Heavy metal exposure or toxicity
- Poor circulation or peripheral vascular disease
- Cardiovascular risk reduction
- Chronic fatigue linked to toxic load
Our Approach
Dr. Barlow uses lab testing to confirm metal burden before recommending chelation. Treatments are delivered through a safe IV protocol, often alongside lifestyle and nutritional support to aid detoxification and recovery.
What to Expect
- Initial blood/urine testing to measure toxic load
- A typical plan involves 10–30 treatments depending on levels
- Infusions last 60–90 minutes
- Regular monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness

Targeted Nutrients for a Stronger Heart.
Even with a great diet, modern stress, aging, and environmental factors can deplete key nutrients the heart relies on. At Kelowna Wellness Clinic, Dr. Barlow prescribes targeted, evidence-based supplements to help optimize cardiovascular function, reduce inflammation, and support healthy blood vessels.
Common Deficiencies & Supportive Nutrients
- Magnesium — relaxes blood vessels and supports rhythm
- CoQ10 — essential for cellular energy and heart muscle function
- Omega-3 fatty acids — reduce triglycerides and inflammation
- B-vitamins — lower homocysteine levels and support energy
- Antioxidants (vitamin C, E, NAC) — protect vessels from oxidative damage
Our Approach
Supplement therapy is never guesswork. Dr. Barlow uses lab testing to assess nutrient status, inflammation, and oxidative stress markers. Only high-quality, physician-grade products are used — precisely dosed to match your results and medical history.
What to Expect
- Review of current supplements and medications
- Lab-guided, personalized nutrient plan
- Reassessment every 8–12 weeks
- Integrated support with diet and lifestyle recommendations
