Ignite Your Health: Empower Yourself with Bio-Identical Hormones!

In the journey to optimal health and well-being, the quest for hormonal balance plays a pivotal role. Hormones act as messengers in the body, influencing everything from mood and energy levels to metabolism and overall vitality. However, maintaining harmony within this intricate system can be a challenge, especially as the natural aging process takes its toll. Fortunately, there’s a powerful ally in the form of bio-identical hormones, offering a revolutionary approach to empower individuals on their wellness journey.

Bio-identical hormones are compounds that closely mimic the molecular structure of hormones produced by the human body. Unlike synthetic hormones, these natural replicas are derived from plant sources, making them a safer and more compatible option for the body’s intricate hormonal dance.

One of the key advantages of bio-identical hormones lies in their ability to restore balance without the side effects often associated with conventional hormone replacement therapies. By seamlessly integrating with the body’s existing hormonal pathways, bio-identical hormones offer a tailored solution, addressing individual needs for both men and women.

Achieving hormonal balance is not just about mitigating the symptoms of hormonal fluctuations; it’s about unlocking the full potential of your body. Whether you’re grappling with the challenges of menopause, andropause, low-T or simply seeking to optimize your well-being, bio-identical hormones provide a personalized and effective avenue for empowerment.

Embracing bio-identical hormones is akin to giving your body the tools it needs to thrive. It’s about harnessing the innate power within to regain control over your health and vitality. By restoring hormonal equilibrium, individuals can experience improvements in energy levels, mental clarity, mood, and overall quality of life.

The journey to empowerment begins with acknowledging the profound influence hormones wield over our well-being. Bio-identical hormones offer a holistic and natural approach to harmonizing these essential messengers, allowing individuals to reclaim their vitality and unlock the full potential of their bodies. It’s time to take charge of your health and embrace the transformative power of bio-identical hormones on the path to a balanced and empowered life.

‘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!

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!

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.
