‘Twas the Night Before the Holiday Party!

‘Twas the Night Before the Holiday Party!

‘Twas the night before the Holiday party, joyous and elate,
Excitement filled the air, as I prepared to celebrate.

At New Leaf Wellness, a revelation took flight,
Natural Hormone Therapy, a beacon shining bright.

My worries were eased, like a gentle, soothing breeze,
As I embraced the promise of wellness with such ease.

The hormones aligned, a symphony within,
A transformation began, a journey to begin.

No longer confined to worries and strife,
I danced through the night, embracing a new life.

The dress in my closet, a symbol of grace,
Enhanced by vitality, a radiant embrace.

Nestled in comfort, in this newfound repose,
A harmony of hormones, my essence composed.

Away to share my joy, the story to unfold,
Of New Leaf Wellness, where transformations are told.

With confidence blooming, like a flower in spring,
I reveled in the joy that Natural Hormone Therapy could bring.

Now, every holiday, a testament to glee,
Thanks to New Leaf Wellness, a gift to me.

On estrogen! On progesterone! A symphony so divine,
Harmony restored, like a cherished vintage wine.

Here’s to the radiance, the balance, the cheer,
To happy hormones and a joyous new year!

How To Avoid the Holiday Weight Gain

On Thanksgiving day and the ten days after Christmas, Americans will gain the most weight of the year. This time is when many people let their fitness routine and healthy eating slide away. It is easy to understand why. The abundance of holiday food, parties, and family gatherings, can make excuses easy. If you stay on track 90 percent of the time, that favorite small dessert will not hurt you. You can avoid holiday weight gain with careful planning and the right attitude.

I have some tips to help you get through and still enjoy the holidays without blowing your health and wellness plan.

  1. When planning a special meal for the holiday or weekend, plan for it and enjoy it. Make sure you stay on track the days preceding and following it. Do not sweat it when you are having a bad day. Start over the next day. Do not let the bad day get you down. The next day, get right back on it and stay positive.
  2. Use an app such as My Fitness Pal or even write your food intake down on paper. If you do not know how much you are eating, you can lose track of the foods you have eaten. People that record their food are much more successful in losing weight and staying on track because we usually underestimate how much we eat and overestimate how much we exercise. It helps to track that you are getting enough protein, fat, and carbs. Recording food can keep you accountable and allow you to see what does and does not work for you.
  3. Prioritize your protein intake. Protein keeps you full longer, reduces hunger, and helps your metabolism and appetite-reducing hormones. Keeping your muscle is very important for long-term success and requires protein.
  4. Drink more water. Then you will not be as hungry and tempted to overindulge. Water intake will also help boost your metabolism by helping you burn fat, keep you hydrated for workouts and help remove waste from the body.
  5. Be a social butterfly when at holiday parties. Instead of just enjoying the food, enjoy the company. Focus on other things besides the food. Walk around and talk to people, and position yourself away from the buffet so you do not see it. If food is in front of you, you may want another bite and keep eating. Remember, there is more to the holidays than just eating.
  6. Drinking alcohol can make it difficult to lose weight. Most alcoholic drinks have high calories and contain sugar that will increase your blood glucose and make you have more sugar cravings on the blood sugar rollercoaster. Estrogen metabolism can also be affected as your body recognizes alcohol as a toxin.
  7. Offer to bring a healthy dish to the party. Bring a veggie or meat tray to help resist temptation.
  8. After eating dinner, go for a family walk. A 2-5 minute walk can reduce blood sugar and insulin levels. After eating, blood sugar levels can spike, and insulin produced to control them can lead to diabetes and heart issues.
  9. Dress up and keep the stretchy-waisted pants at home. Baggy pants allow you to overeat, so wear some skinny jeans or something more tight-fitting to show off those curves. You will not be as inclined to go for second or third servings.
  10. Make positive decisions in the buffet line. Grab a small plate instead of the bigger one. Wait at least 20 minutes and have a big glass of water later before you go back for seconds. You may be less hungry than you think. Take smaller bites as you are eating. Nibble when you eat. Be mindful and enjoy each bite. Savor the taste of it and enjoy each bite and still avoid the holiday weight gain.
  11. Sleep as much as you can. Lack of sleep is one of the leading causes of holiday weight gain. Sleep deprivation can lead to stress and high cortisol levels, decreased glucose tolerance, dysregulated appetite hormones, and poor food decisions. Seven to eight hours of sleep a night is what you should be getting. High cortisol from lack of sleep can lead to belly fat. You make worse decisions about what to eat when tired.
  12. Don’t let the holidays stress you out. Find healthy ways to manage stress by walking, meditating, stretching, doing hobbies, or calling a friend.
  13. Enjoy the time with your family and friends. Enjoy food in moderation. This time of the year is meant to be enjoyed. Be easy on yourself. You will get back on track the next day after indulging in holiday festivities!

New Leaf Wellness’s mission is to help patients make healthy changes to impact their overall health and wellness. It is about taking baby steps, staying positive, and building a healthy lifestyle. We can help you avoid that holiday weight gain. New Leaf Wellness in Omaha can help show you how to keep your health goals on track!

GAC Injections Optimize Your Health

Can GAC Injections Optimize Your Health?

A poor diet deprives your body of the amino acids it needs to function correctly. However, healthy levels of amino acids in your body mean better overall health. Studies show that amino acids can help boost energy, eliminate brain fog, reduce inflammation, and assist in weight loss plans. Three compounds excel at providing these benefits: glutamine, arginine, and carnitine (GAC). When combined and administered via injection, GAC may be the breakthrough treatment you need to optimize your health and well-being.

Amino acids – the building blocks in our bodies that help form proteins – play an integral role in tissue repair and growth, metabolism, immune system functionality, and much more. Unfortunately, many modern Americans lack healthy levels of amino acids. Dozens of years of public health messages promoting balanced diets have resulted in almost no change in the U.S. In fact, nutrient-poor foods make up nearly 27% of the average American diet.

Understanding GAC

What exactly is a GAC injection, you might be asking? GAC injections from Global Life Rejuvenation blend the three conditionally essential amino acids we mentioned above. Each amino acid has its own benefits and contributions to your health. The following is a brief overview of each amino acid:

Glutamine

Like fuel in an internal combustion engine, glutamine gives the cells in your body the energy and power they need to function. Glutamine is crucial for a number of reasons: It helps build lean muscle, enhances your endurance, and is essential for healthy immune systems and intestinal functions. Due to glutamine’s importance to the body, your endurance depletes rapidly when you are ill or stressed. For that reason, many doctors recommend supplementing glutamine so your body has enough on standby when you need it most.

Arginine

Much like glutamine, this amino acid also falls under the category of being conditionally essential. This indicates that its demand increases notably during periods of illness or disease. Research demonstrates that arginine plays a pivotal role in enhancing blood pressure regulation and is a crucial factor in the synthesis of creatine. It also has impressive anti-inflammatory properties, helps relax the blood vessels in your body, and promotes proper blood circulation. As an energy substrate, creatine is essential for cellular energy production throughout your body. When arginine levels are low, creatine production becomes limited, leading to less cognitive function and more fatigue.

Carnitine

If your ideal weekend involves waking up early, hitting the gym, eating healthy, and maintaining your overall wellness, carnitine may be your favorite part of GAC injections. In addition to boosting your endurance and maximizing workout recovery, carnitine enhances your body’s fat-burning ability.

What are the Benefits of GAC Injections?

Like high-octane fuel in an engine, GAC injections can supercharge essential body functions, making your weight loss, anti-aging, and wellness plans more efficient and effective. Are you looking for a quicker way to achieve your fitness and weight-loss goals? Are you in need of an extra “boost” to your anti-aging regimen? GAC injections may be perfect for you.

The most common benefits of GAC include the following:

  • Better Sleep
  • Improved Energy
  • More Endurance
  • Mental Clarity
  • Efficient Fat-Burning and Weight Loss
  • Enhanced Immune System
  • Improved Blood Flow and Circulation
  • Lean Muscle Development
  • Enhanced Mood
  • Quicker Workout Recovery Times

GAC Injections…

Millions of Americans struggle every year to maintain their fitness and weight-loss goals. They want to look and feel younger but need help with diet, exercise, and health supplements. If you’re craving an invaluable aid on your journey to optimal wellness and health, contact New Leaf Wellness, Omaha about GAC injections today. By tomorrow, you could be one step closer to a healthier, more fulfilling life! GAC injections are available in all clinics including Omaha!

Embracing Food Sensitivity Test Results

Embracing Food Sensitivity Test Results: A Journey to Wellness

by guest author Rodrigo Raphael, CEO Biotrinetix Laboratory

Food sensitivities can have a profound impact on our overall well-being, affecting everything from our digestive health to our energy levels and even our mood. Discovering your food sensitivities through testing can be a game-changer, allowing you to make informed choices about what you put into your body. While the prospect of adjusting your diet may seem daunting at first, following your food sensitivity test results can be a rewarding and transformative experience if approached with the right mindset. In this blog post, we will explore how embracing your food sensitivity test results is not as hard as you may think, and how preparation, a positive mindset, and letting go of emotional attachments can lead you to success on your wellness journey.

1. Shift Your Perspective
The key to making the transition to a food-sensitivity-friendly diet easier lies in shifting your perspective. Instead of dwelling on the foods you should avoid, focus on the vast array of delicious and nourishing alternatives available to you. View this journey as an opportunity to explore new culinary horizons and nourish your body in a way that promotes optimal health. Remember, you are making choices that support your well-being, and that is a cause for celebration.

2. Preparation is Key
Success in following your food sensitivity test results starts with preparation. Take the time to research and plan meals that align with your dietary needs. Create shopping lists and keep your pantry stocked with ingredients that you can turn to when cooking or preparing snacks. With a bit of preparation, you’ll find it much easier to stick to your new dietary guidelines without feeling overwhelmed.

3. Letting Go of Emotional Attachments
Food is often associated with emotions, memories, and comfort. Letting go of emotional attachments to the foods you used to enjoy can be challenging, but it is an essential step towards embracing your food sensitivity results. Instead of feeling deprived, remind yourself of the positive changes you’re making for your health. Seek comfort in new recipes and the joy of discovering flavors that are both delicious and nourishing.

4. Seek Support
Remember, you don’t have to embark on this journey alone. Seek support from Biotrinetix, friends, family, or online communities and individuals with similar dietary needs. Sharing experiences, tips, and recipes can make the transition feel less isolating and more empowering. Surround yourself with a positive support system that encourages and celebrates your commitment to your well-being.

5. Focus on the Positive
Rather than focusing on the reactive foods on your test results, concentrate on the vast array of foods that you can still enjoy without any adverse reactions. Celebrate the fact that you are taking charge of your health and making choices that align with your body’s needs. As you start to feel the positive effects of your dietary changes, you’ll find that the sacrifices are well worth it. Following your food sensitivity test results doesn’t have to be as hard as it may initially seem. With a positive mindset, preparation, and support, you can embrace this journey toward improved health and well-being. Letting go of emotional attachments to certain foods and focusing on the abundance of nourishing alternatives will make the transition smoother and more enjoyable. Remember, you are making choices that prioritize your health and vitality, and that is a powerful step towards a happier and healthier you. So, go forth with confidence, and may your food sensitivity journey be one of growth, discovery, and wellness.

Hormones & Food in Omaha, NE

Weight gain, pain, and fatigue are just a few symptoms of hormonal imbalances. If you found this blog post, then you probably have a pretty good understanding of the importance of hormones and how they can affect your day-to-day life. Or maybe you are experiencing some imbalances and want to do something about it. Hormones & Food education can be found at our New Leaf Wellness clinic in Omaha, NE. What if there was a way that you could help with your imbalance symptoms while you’re doing something everyone does every single day? Eating. More specifically, your daily food choices.

How Food Choices Affect My Hormones

“Food can affect the production and secretion of hormones by direct actions on the gut, by nervous reflexes, through changes in the concentration of various metabolites in the blood, or secondary to changes in circulating gut hormone levels.” PubMed

The food you eat can impact the amount of certain hormones that are made in your body and how much those hormones are dispersed. We can manipulate some of these hormones through specific foods. But what foods should you be looking for?

The first items you want to put in your shopping cart are cruciferous vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables include broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, and bok choy. These veggies help our livers metabolize estrogen and protect us from estrogen-dominant cancers. It really does pay to eat your vegetables, kids.

Carbs or No Carbs

Another thing you’ll want to look for is high-fiber carbohydrates. A good rule of thumb is the “half/fourth rule.” Half the meal is full of nonstarchy vegetables, and a fourth of the meal is starchy vegetables like potatoes or whole grains. A high-fiber diet can help clear out some excess hormones from your body, along with regulating melatonin and cortisol. So grab some carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash to that shopping cart too.

Finally, let’s talk about fat. Fat and cholesterol are the building blocks of hormones. It is important to stock up on fats high in omega-3s. Some foods that include healthy fats are salmon, albacore tuna, walnuts, flaxseeds, olive oil, chia seeds, and avocados.

Small life changes like choosing what foods to eat can affect how your hormones interact with the rest of your body. And they’re not even gross or obscure dishes that are impossible to find. Most likely you have some of these ingredients in your kitchen already. If you need some starting ideas, try looking up some healthy recipes including any of the foods listed above. Help your taste buds and your body! For more help, go to New Leaf Wellness, Omaha, or one of the other New Leaf Wellness clinics near you.
