‘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!

Solution to Inspiring Hope

In a world experiencing more mental health “depression” concerns than at any other time in history, we find ourselves asking “Why has this become such a problem?” Isolation, loneliness, and depression have increased. The results of the global pandemic have brought more attention to mental health concerns than ever before. Is there a solution to inspiring hope at New Leaf Wellness?

Yes… HOPE is that solution.

Hope is a feeling of expectation and the desire for something to happen or change. Do you hope to LIVE LIFE BETTER? New Leaf Wellness brings that state of HOPE to hundreds of patients. Let yourself be one of those patients!

Often, we lump the terms “hopes, dreams, and goals” together. It is hard to accomplish dreams and establish goals without having hope. Hope is at the foundation of all we do and wants to achieve. Fueling our passions and following our dreams gives us purpose and a sense of belonging within society. It all begins with hope.

Individuals who lack hope don’t dream, don’t set goals, have little passion, and struggle to find purpose. The result often is giving up, throwing in the towel, or saying, “Why even try?” When individuals are ready to give up, they are more susceptible to feeling bad, depressed, and even moody. We must inspire hope and encourage people to dream once again.

HOPE: Honoring Opportunities and Purpose for Everyone

The root of change is hope. Without hope, changes will be rough. Studies show that having just one person you trust and confide in impacts your sense of hope and increases your ability to set and achieve dreams. With our therapies at New Leaf Wellness, we can inspire hope in others. If you want to inspire hope, here are some tips:

Simple tips that will help you inspire hope in others:

  1. Smile and say hello to people.
  2. Ask simple questions that show you care. (How are you doing?)
  3. Find out what they are interested in or what motivates them.
  4. Ask what they are passionate about.
  5. Ask them about their dreams and goals.
  6. Encouraging others to take action to pursue their dreams with SMART goals.
  7. Don’t judge or criticize.
  8. Celebrate success.
  9. Listen and be slow to speak.
  10. Encourage others to keep going and not give up.

HOPE: Helping Others Pursue their Everything

We all can make positive changes in our lives and inspire positive change in others. The solution is to inspire hope in a few people, and they inspire hope in a few more. We can all be a part of a much-needed change in the world. Want the solution to inspiring hope? Start by inspiring HOPE.

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!

How To Get More Oxytocin

How To Get More Oxytocin

A rarely discussed topic is oxytocin. Despite being referred to as the ‘love’ hormone, oxytocin has many benefits you may be unaware of.

This hormone is released in your brain (in your hypothalamus), then distributed by the pituitary gland to the rest of your brain. It can stimulate emotions of love, trust, connection, empathy, bonding, and comfort.

Oxytocin also works with serotonin and dopamine, making them a powerful trio of super-happy hormones!

When is oxytocin released?

  • During childbirth, its main job is to stimulate contractions
  • When you need to bond with your baby (cuddling and breastfeeding trigger it)
  • When you fall in love, during sex and orgasm
  • When with good friends
  • By hugging, holding hands, or being massaged
  • By stroking or hugging your pet

As well as making you feel good, oxytocin research has revealed its far-reaching health benefits.

How does oxytocin benefit your health?

  1. It decreases the level of stress hormones (primarily cortisol) your body manufactures – helping us to feel calm and sleep better.
  2. It can protect the heart by dilating the arteries, supplying the heart with blood, oxygen, and nutrients – lowering your blood pressure.
  3. It is healthy for your gut – studies claim that oxytocin calms inflammation, reducing the risk of food sensitivities, autoimmune disorders, and underlying infection.
  4. It can aid muscle and joint pain due to its anti-inflammatory effects.
  5. It can offer protection against accelerated signs of aging and better regeneration of aged tissue cells.
  6. It is good for weight loss – oxytocin can reduce hunger signals in the brain.
  7. It can improve sexual pleasure as well as help with conception (uterus contractions helping sperm motility).
  8. Oxytocin is a potential treatment for anxiety and depression.

We all need oxytocin, so here’s how to get some without giving birth!

  • Hold hands with someone
  • Give someone a big hug – the longer the better
  • Get a massage
  • Stroke your pet
  • Have more sex and/or orgasms
  • Spend time with friends or people you love (even planning a get-together can provide you with a boost!)
  • Phone someone you haven’t spoken to in a while
  • Give (or receive) a gift
  • Volunteer or donate to charity
  • Cook and share meals with others
  • Have a good laugh (watch your favorite comedy or spend time with someone that makes you laugh)
  • Listen to your favorite uplifting music

If you can’t do any of that right now, have a relaxing bath in Epsom salts and your favorite essential oil – a bit of self-care can be just as nourishing.
Do share the love – send this blog to anyone you know who needs a bit more oxytocin!

Do share the love – send this blog to anyone you know who needs a bit more oxytocin!

Understanding Common Thyroid Conditions

The thyroid gland, a small butterfly-shaped organ located in the neck, plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions. Consequently, when the thyroid gland malfunctions, it can give rise to a range of thyroid conditions. These conditions, in turn, can exert a significant impact on overall health and well-being. Moreover, delving deeper, understanding common thyroid conditions becomes a pivotal step, allowing us to underscore the paramount importance of personalized therapies for the effective management and treatment of these conditions.

Types of Thyroid Conditions:

  • Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. The condition can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, depression, and cold intolerance. Personalized therapies for hypothyroidism may involve hormone replacement therapy. Synthetic or natural thyroid hormones are prescribed to restore optimal hormone levels. The dosage and type of medication can vary based on an individual’s specific needs, making personalized treatment crucial for achieving balance and symptom relief.
  • Hyperthyroidism: Hyperthyroidism is the opposite of hypothyroidism, characterized by excessive production of thyroid hormones. Symptoms may include weight loss, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, and increased sensitivity to heat. Personalized therapies for hyperthyroidism aim to reduce thyroid hormone production and normalize hormone levels. Treatments may include antithyroid medications, radioactive iodine therapy, or, in some cases, surgery. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, severity of symptoms, and individual characteristics.
  • Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, leading to inflammation and eventual damage. This condition is a common cause of hypothyroidism. Personalized therapies focus on managing the autoimmune response and optimizing thyroid hormone levels. In addition, treatment may include hormone replacement therapy, immune-modulating medications, and dietary and lifestyle modifications.
  • Graves’ Disease: Graves’ disease is another autoimmune disorder that results in overactivity of the thyroid gland. Symptoms include weight loss, bulging eyes (exophthalmos), and an enlarged thyroid gland (goiter). Personalized therapies for Graves’ disease aim to suppress thyroid hormone production, manage symptoms, and regulate immune system function. Antithyroid medications, beta-blockers, radioactive iodine therapy, and surgery may be prescribed depending on the severity and circumstances.

The Importance of Personalized Therapies:

In essence, thyroid conditions are intricate and can present uniquely in each individual. Thus, a tailored approach to treatment is indispensable for the efficient management of these conditions. Personalized treatment plans take into account an individual’s symptoms, medical history, hormone levels, and lifestyle factors. This personalized approach enables healthcare providers to devise treatment strategies that cater to specific requirements, thereby optimizing outcomes.

By adopting a fresh perspective on personalized therapies, healthcare providers can empower patients to take an active role in their thyroid health journey. This entails vigilant monitoring of hormone levels, transparent communication with healthcare providers, and the exploration of complementary approaches such as nutrition, stress management, and exercise to bolster overall well-being.

Summary of Personalized Therapies:

In conclusion, comprehending prevalent thyroid conditions and embracing the tenets of personalized therapies stands as a pivotal foundation for effective management and treatment. Through the customization of treatments for each patient, healthcare providers play a crucial role in restoring equilibrium, alleviating symptoms, and enhancing the quality of life for individuals grappling with thyroid conditions. Together, let us embark on a journey that champions personalized approaches, fostering empowerment and optimal thyroid health. Discover the possibility of a thyroid condition and uncover your tailored treatment path at New Leaf Wellness, Omaha, NE!
