Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Tonya Millions-Fitch.
A Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesiologist and founder of Astra Wellness in Macon, Georgia. This episode is a powerful blend of personal motivation, healthcare innovation, and entrepreneurial insight.
🌟 Guest Overview: Tonya Millions-Finch
• Over 25 years in healthcare, including 12 years as a CRNA. • Founder of Astra Wellness, a holistic health and wellness clinic. • Inspired by her father’s struggles with PTSD and chronic pain after serving in the Vietnam War.
🏥 Astra Wellness: Mission & Services
• Name Meaning: “Astra” means “star” in French, symbolizing guidance—just as stars guided people during slavery and exploration. • Services Offered:
• IV hydration therapy • Medical weight loss • Functional medicine • Anti-aging treatments (e.g., ozone therapy, infrared sauna, Botox, fillers) • Skincare and body contouring • Mental health and cognitive support (e.g., for PTSD, depression, dementia)
💡 Business Growth & Strategy
• Started in a 650 sq. ft. space in 2020. • Expanded to a 3,000+ sq. ft. commercial building within 3 years. • Initially self-funded but later secured a bank loan after learning the importance of:
• A strong business plan • Financial projections and historical analysis • Showing business income (not writing off everything) • Building a relationship with a banker
🧠 Functional Medicine vs. Conventional Medicine
• Conventional: Treats symptoms after problems arise. • Functional: Preventative, cellular-level care to address root causes before symptoms appear.
🧬 Why IV Therapy?
• Oral supplements only absorb 30–40% due to gut health issues. • IV infusions deliver 100% absorption directly into the bloodstream. • Used for:
• Nutrient deficiencies • Stress, insomnia, and depression • Cognitive enhancement (e.g., for students) • Skin, hair, and nail health
🏆 Achievements & Recognition
• Voted Best Wellness Clinic in Macon for three consecutive years. • Featured on “Secrets to Success” and other platforms. •
