The food sensitivity testing has been a game changer for me. Knowledge is power! My symptoms (not just the fat) have much to do with what I was eating. The simple blood test helped me decide what I was willing to deal with in regards to stiff joints, feeling achy, etc. If I want to feel great, I eat “clean” for me- only food in which I do not have a sensitivity. Thank you!”

Hormone Health Quiz for MEN

Is Your Food Making You Sick?

Are you suffering from a stubborn health problem that will not go away no matter what you try? Have you left the doctor’s office feeling like are not any closer to relief? Or perhaps the medications and treatments you are taking are not actually getting at the root cause of your illness but addressing the symptoms you are experiencing? Bottomline, is your food making you sick?

What You Need To Know

If you feel this way, or know someone that does, consider some important facts:

Medical research has shown that sensitivities to food and food-chemicals can be involved in a wide array of painful symptoms and chronic health problems.
Sensitivities are a type of inflammatory reactions that is entirely different than food allergy and most doctors are unaware they are different.
If foods and additives in your diet are contributing to your illness, whatever medications you take will ultimately fail because they only mask the symptoms. They don’t treat the underlying cause of the symptoms – hidden inflammation caused by sensitivity reactions to foods and food-chemicals.
And as is too often the case, many medications have side effects that can lead to other health problems.

If food sensitivities are causing your illness, and you do not properly address them, you could easily end up suffering for many years, spending thousands of dollars for treatments that will never work the way you want. You are not alone. Unfortunately, this is the experience of millions of Americans who have mis-diagnosed or neglected food sensitivities.

Questions To Ask Yourself

Are you not feeling the full effects of Natural Hormone Therapy?
Do you have low energy and fatigue?
Do you have joint pain and achiness (including headaches)?
Are you seeing an increase in weight gain?
Are you suffering from impaired memory or brain fog?

The above are all signs of INFLAMMATION.

“Now, let me tell you about the New Leaf Food Sensitivity Test. I lost weight on the New Leaf Weight Loss programs, but some of the pounds had inched back on and I couldn’t figure out why. That’s when I took the Food Sensitivity Test and found out there were 35 foods I shouldn’t be eating. I’ve lost 15 pounds since making the change…1 pound per week!”

– Bonnie Lucas, WHO Radio Host & New Leaf Wellness Patient, see more

We may be ingesting foods that cause low to severe levels of inflammation. Actually, food sensitivities lead to imbalances in the gut, these sensitivities may or may not manifest a symptom right away (some reactions can be delayed up to 7 days after consumption, making it very hard to pinpoint what the sensitivity is to). Therefore, food is medicine and you can start to heal your endocrine system through nutrition. You first have to identify and remove any barriers that are preventing your body from healing and creating balance.

A good place to start is with a food sensitivity test to see what foods are causing inflammation in your body.

Follow Up Treatment:

Follow the Dr’s recommendation on the elimination diet. Test yearly for the latest information on what is causing inflammation in your body. Be sure you are getting your follow up tests completed and you will not have chronic health problems due to inflammation caused by sensitivities of food.

STRESS RESET Supplements

STRESS RESET is herbal and nutritional supplements designed to support adrenal function. The adrenal glands assist the body in adjusting to stress as the result of internal and external forces. So, STRESS RESET combines a number of natural ingredients to assist the body in managing the negative effects of stress and maintain health cortisol levels. STRESS RESET Supplements can aid with a variety of symptoms.

What is Adrenal Fatigue?

The state when adrenal glands are exhausted and unable to produce adequate quantities of hormones, primarily the glucocorticoid cortisol, due to chronic stress or infections.

Causes of Adrenal Fatigue:

1. Emotional stress (#1 cause)

2. Diet (too much sugar)

3. Insufficient sleep (body requires at least 7-8 hrs.)

4. Chemicals and Pollutants (toxins in our food, pollutants in the air, chlorine in our drinking water, antibiotics in our meat, and pesticides in our vegetables)

5. Chronic Disease (such as fibromyalgia, lyme disease, chronic pain, asthma, arthritis, diabetes.)

6. Trauma (car accident, major surgery, etc.)

Do You Have These Symptoms?

1. Waking up extremely tired and “foggy”, even after getting a long sleep.

2. High levels of fatigue each day.

3. Inability to handle stress

4. Cravings for salty foods

5. Higher energy levels in the evening (insomnia)

6. A weakened immune system (can eventually lead to chronic inflammation, allergies and autoimmune diseases)

So, these symptoms may be clues that you have adrenal fatigue and could benefit from STRESS RESET. For more, click to learn more or purchase a 30-day supply. Stress Reset Cortisol Revival supplements >

G.A.C. Injections

G.A.C. injections are widely used as an effective weight loss supplement, and G.A.C. injections are helping many dieters lessen sugar cravings and stick to low carb dieting. But a common question we get is, what are G.A.C. injections? So, we’re diving in to how they work to help your body.

Glutamine, arginine and carnitine (G.A.C.) are amino acids when combined converts glycogen to energy, rather than fat. These three amino acids combined make it easier to burn calories and expel from the body. Luckily, this combination is newly made available as a pharmacy-grade prescription by ReGenesis HRT in injectable form. G.A.C. injections are specifically formulated for rapid weight loss and enhance athletic performance via the stimulation of the body’s metabolism (through the transfer of fatty acids to the mitochondria). Also, ReGenesis HRT’s team of medical researchers have found G.A.C. to be an important component in muscle repair, body sculpting and immune system enhancement.

G.A.C. Injections Benefits:

• Increases growth hormone levels
• Prevention of muscle loss
• Faster muscle recovery
• Improves circulation
• Powerful fat burning properties
• Conversion of stored fat into energy
• Increases energy levels
• Higher metabolic rates
• Balances hormones
• Improves mood
• Increases stamina

Below is a breakdown of each amino acid, and its role in fat loss:

G is for Glutamine

Glutamine is one of the body’s most abundant amino acids and is the building block for all essential proteins. It is most commonly used to boost the immune system, combatting the effects of bodily distress. However, Glutamine also enhances exercise performance and expedites muscle recovery allowing users to effectively burn more calories.

A is for Arginine

Arginine is an amino acid that changes into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a neurotransmitter shown to improve circulation and blood flow. Due to Arginine’s positive effects on blood circulation, workout performance and muscle recovery time improves, leading to an increase in your fat burning rate. Therefore, Arginine is extremely effective for weight loss.

C is for L-Carnitine

L-Carnitine is a substance produced by the liver and kidneys which converts body fat into energy. Studies show carnitine reduces body fat, increases muscle mass, improves stamina and strength and lessens fatigue, which may all contribute to weight loss. Likewise, its muscle building properties make it a favorite among weightlifters and bodybuilding professionals. Consequently, Carnitine boosts energy during times of caloric deficit eliminating fatigue and irritability while dieting.

Understanding Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is an autoimmune low performing thyroid disease and is one of the most common health issues related to Gluten Sensitivity. With more and more individuals struggling with losing weight or gaining weight primarily in the stomach, it raises awareness to who is allergic or even sensitive to gluten. Today, we’re hoping to shed light on what Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis really looks like in individuals.

Non-celiac gluten sensitivity has a group of symptoms related to the intake of gluten containing foods (including wheat, barley and rye) who are not affected by celiac disease or wheat allergy. In other words, blood tests for celiac disease and wheat allergy tests are not accurate if you have gluten sensitivity.

I had my hormone levels drawn at New Leaf curious to see if I needed hormones. Come to find out my Thyroid was way out of control. After having two kids I thought it was normal to “feel completely drained of energy by 3pm. Dr. Sieman and New Leaf Staff helped me to understand what all my thyroid does. Now New Leaf helps keep an eye on my thyroid levels and I get my weekly vitamin shots to keep my energy levels up and thyroid functioning the way it’s supposed to. I would have never known I had a thyroid issue if I would not have gotten my labs drawn at New Leaf. THANK YOU NEW LEAF!”

– Angela O., New Leaf Wellness Patient, see More Testimonials

Gluten sensitivity symptoms can include foggy mind, headache, fatigue, joint and muscle pain, and leg or arm numbness. The most common autoimmune disorders of gluten sensitivity in include Hashimoto thyroiditis, dermatitis herpetiformis (itchy skin rash, bumps and blisters), psoriasis and rheumatologic disease (autoimmune inflammation that affects the connecting or supporting structures of the body including the joints, tendons, ligaments, bones, and muscles).

Celiac disease is a small intestine inflammatory malabsorption disease with autoimmune features that is triggered and maintained by the ingestion of gluten. 10-30% of people with celiac disease have Hashimoto’s. More on Living with Celiac Disease >

People with Hashimoto’s that follow a gluten free diet tend to have more energy and see improved thyroid T4, TSH, TPOab (Thyroid Peroxidase antibody), TgAb (thyroglobulin antibodies) and Vitamin D3 blood levels.

After more than ten years of dealing with Thyroid symptoms (starting around age 33), I finally have someone who will not only listen, but investigate what’s wrong. I’ve heard too many times that there’s nothing wrong with me, that is in my head, that my tests were “in the normal range”. I’ve even been told it’s because I’m of German descent. Thank you to everyone at New Leaf for simply caring enough to try.

Your Gut Health & Weight Loss

If only weight management were really as simple as they make it seem. Eat less, move more and in a caloric deficit you will lose weight; right? Wrong… Let’s talk about your gut health and weight loss today for a few minutes.

What is Gut Health?

If you try to keep ‘in the know’ of weight loss and health trends, there’s a lot of talk about probiotics, gut health and even diet changes such as dairy free and gluten free. Perhaps you personally have tried a supplement or reducing your processed food intake? It can be frustrating not truly knowing what your body needs. You see, the microbiome or gut plays a major role in the processing of nutrients and calories as well as influences how the body stores those nutrients and calories. If you are reducing caloric intake, exercising and still not seeing results, perhaps we need to shift our attention to your gut health?

Basic Ways the Gut Impacts Metabolism & Weight Loss:

1. Different bacterias are responsible for different functions. Some love to store fat! If your microbiome is out of balance, your bacteria could have an overabundance of “friends” trying to store some extra for the winter.

2. If your gut is off, you are likely missing many of the digestive enzymes needed to properly break down macronutrients, resulting in improperly stored calories as well as a lack of nutrient absorption.

3. The “bad” bacteria thrive on sugar. When we have an overgrowth of these bacteria, they will communicate their dietary desires to your brain encouraging you to eat more often as well as crave simply carbohydrates and sugars which are easily stored as fat.

4. Too much “bad” bacteria communicate stress signals to the brain, increasing cortisol the hormone associated with fat storage and blood sugar dips.

5. “Leaky Gut” leads to inflammation which negatively impacts metabolism. More on Leaky Gut >>

These are just some examples of how and why we need to balance our microbiome when trying to lose weight. If you feel this applies to your struggles with weight loss and just feeling ‘bloated’, contact us to take the Food Sensitivity Test and learn more about your gut!

Testosterone Pellets for Men and Women

We live in an imperfect world that has chemicals in our food, water, personal care products, cleaning products, etc. We are under stress from living in today’s rushed and “connected” world. We eat more processed foods and consume more sugar and gluten than past generations. All of this contributes to a hormone imbalance. Today, we want to explain the “why” of Testosterone pellets for men and women.

First, You Need To Know

Replacing your deficient hormones is one part of feeling optimal. Testosterone in particular is often found to be low in both men and women. Testosterone helps you to think more clearly, sleep better, have focus, be in a good mood, and recover better from exercise; among other things. When your Testosterone is low you may feel moody, grumpy, have more aches and pains, feel tired, have brain fog, etc. It is not just the “sex” hormone.

How Bioidentical Testosterone Pellets Can Help

Bioidentical Testosterone pellets are a great way to replace Testosterone for both men and women. They are about the size of a thin tic tac. The pellets are placed in the fatty area of your buttock area–somewhat near your hip in a simple procedure in the office. The Testosterone is released in small amounts on a consistent basis: just like your body should be doing but is not. When you have increased blood flow (from increased activity) your body will draw more Testosterone for its increased needs.

“My strength and overall health has improved, sex life with my beautiful lady has been great. I sleep better and not [having] night sweats.“

– Ken D., New Leaf Wellness Patient, More Testimonials

Bioidentical Testosterone pellets provide you with the Testosterone that your body needs in a manner that closely resembles what your body should naturally be doing but is not because of all of the hormone disruptors surrounding us. Proper hormone balancing is an important part of feeling optimal and getting out of the “rabbit hole” of not feeling good.

Part 2: How Do Bio-Identical Pellets Work?

Bio-identical pellets are made of an inert substance that holds it together along with either bio-identical Testosterone or Estradiol. If you require Estradiol it is one small pellet. Men, and also women, require Testosterone. There are different dosages (mg) of Testosterone pellets (25 mg up to 200 mg) and which mg pellet and how many Testosterone pellets you receive depends on the end dose that you require. This dosage is based on whether you are a man or woman, your weight, your baseline Testosterone level, and your activity level; among other things. A hormone specialist can determine what you require after your consultation. Want to learn more about how do bio-identical pellets work?

The Bio-identical pellets release a small amount of the hormone that they contain into the blood stream at a fairly constant level–a lot like your glands would do if they were functioning properly. When you have an increased cardiac output (I.e. with exercising) then you will get an increased amount of the hormone. This helps you to recover better from exercising.

The bio-identical hormone pellets give your body what it needs in as close to physiologic doses as is possible. Your body uses up the pellets at an individual rate and most people require a re-pellet after 3-6 months. Over time most people end up being able to have their pellets last 5-6 months.

Are you ready to check your hormone health? Take a short quiz to recognize what to look for when considering if you would be a good candidate for bio-identical pellets.

Part 1: What are Hormone Pellets?

Bio-Identical Pellets

Bio-Identical are used in both men and women to treat hormone deficiencies and imbalances. Sterile pellets are small, about the size of a grain of rice, containing compressed bio-identical hormones. They are placed beneath the skin in the upper part of your buttocks area in the fat. It is a simple office procedure. But what are hormone pellets?

This method of bio-identical hormone delivery allows the body to slowly draw out small, physiologic doses of the needed hormone, providing for a more consistent steady-state delivery. The pellets typically dissolve over a period of three to four months, sometimes lasting up to six months. The timing depends upon how fast your body uses up the hormones. After a few pellet insertions, you will know how often to get re-pelleted.

“New Leaf has helped me get my hormones regulated. I feel god, have energy, get better rest and have not experienced the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause. They make me feel together worthy and my sex life is great! I would recommend New Leaf to all couples wanting to improve their health, emotionally and physically. PS. I have also lost weight one jean size!” – Kathy B., New Leaf Wellness Patient, see more testimonials

Pellet hormone therapy has been used since the late 1930s and is often considered one of the most natural ways to deliver hormones to the body. The hormones are identical to the body’s own both structurally and biologically. Because the body does the work on its own once the pellets are inserted, many people find this type of hormone therapy easier than other forms.
