B-12 I love them!

Even though I HATE SHOTS (did I mention I hate shots?), I get a weekly B12 shot, and here is why:

There is a lot of information out there like..

♡ This site states “B12 is a great energy boosters. It works through the red blood cells, by enabling them to carry oxygen more efficiently. An oxygenated cell is a cell that is at its optimum, full of energy and won’t tire easily. B12 is also great for the skin. These are just some of the benefits— overall, it’s an essential vitamin that the body must have to stay in balance. The only problem is that it is not that easily found in food— very few foods are B12 rich and these are essentially meat and eggs. This leaves especially vegans to look for sources elsewhere, in fortified foods, supplements or vitamin B12 shots. Shots are a preferred option because of their direct and immediate absorption into the bloodstream.”

♡ According to another source, “B12 increases metabolism, the side effect of which can be weight loss. With regular B12 injections and a combination of other weight loss regimens, people have reported to lose weight much faster and they attribute it to the shot.”

♡ Also it boosts energy— & delivers an energy booster straight to the bloodstream.

♡ YOU RETAIN ALMOST ALLLLL THE B12!! This source states “none of it gets lost in the digestive process. For comparisons sake, a B12 tablet leaves you with only 1.2% of B12 in the tablet. A shot will lose very little, if any.”

♡ They’re mood boasters. Seriously though. I feel so much better after my weekly B12. Basically Vitamin B12 is really important for a properly functioning central nervous system. If you’re nervous system isn’t functioning properly it can lead to depression.

♡ You need B12 to maintain a properly functioning cardiovascular system. It things the blood & prevents blood stickiness.

The recommended dosage is every other day or every other week or whatever floats your bloat!

You can get your B-12 at New Leaf Wellness.  Also, wanted to note: I always prefer to get the methylcobalamin ( it absorbs better & is used better in your brain, liver, & nervous system ) B12, not the cyanocobalamin (does not occur in plants or animal tissue ).

Basically I’ve been getting them for years & they rock. I would consult with your doctor first to see if you’re a candidate (a lot of men and women are low on B vitamins ). Ultimately, I do what works for me, you should do what works for you.

Ok, so do you get B12 shots? SPILL!

Three Tips for Beautiful Skin this Winter

How is your skin handling the winter weather? It is no secret that winter weather can wreak havoc on an otherwise healthy complexion. Don’t fret! New Leaf Wellness has put together a list of three tips to keep your skin healthy and beautiful this winter.

Use Sunscreen
Don’t be fooled by the overcast skies! Just because the sun is not out as much in the winter does not mean it cannot affect and damage your skin. Make sure your skin is protected by wearing sunscreen year-round.

Expert tip! Look for makeup that also has SPF protection. Available at most of our clinics is SPF-50 Compact, either in Beige or Honey, the perfect way to incorporate SPF into your daily routine.

Stay Hydrated
Winter weather is synonymous with dry skin. When it’s cold outside, our skin struggles to stay hydrated as there is less moisture in the air for our skin to absorb. Even if you consistently hydrate your skin, you may find that your skin still lacks the deep hydration it needs. In office treatments at New Leaf Wellness can deliver results that you cannot achieve at home. Our Eclipse Microneedling treatment can nourish dehydrated skin by introducing an infusion of HA to hydrate and protect your skin from harsh elements that winter brings.

Exfoliate
Built up damaged and dead skin cells can dull your complexion and work against a healthy and luminous glow. As cellular turnover slows during the winter season, it is important to kick-start your skin’s renewal through manual exfoliation. A patient favorite all year long, The VI Peel is especially popular during the winter months.

After your skin peels from the VI Peel, your skin will be soft, smooth and supple with reduced winter related congestion, fine lines, and dry, flaky skin.

Don’t let your skin fall victim to the winter weather. Take care of your skin at New Leaf Wellness. Get your glow back by scheduling your one-on-one consultation today.

Turn Back the Hands of Time

There is no escaping the effects of aging on your body, whether it’s a decrease in energy or increase in aches and pains or any other unwanted signs of aging such as excess weight gain or drop in libido and sexual performance. Sermorelin Therapy, offered by New Leaf Wellness, can help with those aging symptoms and many others.

Research has shown that up to 75% of the ailments, aches, pains, limitations, decreased energy levels and loss of vitality associated with aging are preventable! Sermorelin Therapy is the answer!

The pituitary gland, which is located in the brain, is what determines how much human growth hormone is released into the human body. As we age, the pituitary gradually slows down this process, which brings about the common signs of aging – hair loss, decreased strength, and energy and so forth. Growth hormone is just one of a long list of hormones that begin to decrease in the body as we age. Maintaining sufficient levels of growth hormone allows men and women to hold on to signs of youth longer.

The pituitary gland usually secretes enough growth hormone until an individual reaches their late 30s or into their 40s. After that, proper balances in men and women get “out of whack” and only medical treatments can bring these balances back to normal.

Our Providers at New Leaf Wellness offer a variety of hormone therapy methods to supplement an individual’s body with the crucial hormones they’re lacking. One of the methods which we specialize in has essentially become known as a medical miracle.

Sermorelin Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GH-RH) therapy targets the source of hormone production – the pituitary gland – and prompts it to continue naturally releasing sufficient amounts of growth hormone to stave off the negative effects of aging. This treatment essentially turns back the hands of time to transform an aging individual into his or her more youthful self and that is a miracle!
