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.

Studies Show Vitamin C Can Reduce Colds

The human body cannot produce its own vitamin C. Vitamin C is water-soluble which means it is quickly excreted. Aging individuals tend to have even lower levels of vitamin C. Actually, studies show vitamin C can reduce duration and severity of colds so, we’re going to share those today! Therefore, it is necessary to supplement daily with vitamin C to ensure the proper function of vital bodily functions including the immune system. In fact, during times of inflammation or infection the immune system’s demand for vitamin C increases 100-fold.

More on Vitamin C

Studies have shown that 1000mg of vitamin C daily can reduce the duration and severity of the common cold, and even reduce the chance of developing a cold. Also, in two separate studies “absence from school and work was reduced by 14-21% per episode.” Additionally, studies found “common cold incidence decreased by on average 50%, and in four trials of British males common cold incidence decreased by on average 30% in the vitamin C groups.”

“I loved my experience with IV Therapy! I saw a dramatic improvement, nearly immediately after the treatment I had cold symptoms and felt run down before the treatment. After the treatment, I felt refreshed! The IV Therapy room was relaxing and calming with very comfortable chairs. I would recommend this treatment again and again!!”

– Jessica K., New Leaf Wellness Patient, see more testimonials >>

Inadequate Vitamin C

Without regular supplementation of vitamin C, your levels can quickly drop. With inadequate vitamin C, cells are less able to detect and destroy invading organisms or harmful cells, leaving one vulnerable to dangerous infections.

“I am a very busy business professional/traveler and when I needed a boost to my immune system, enhance my energy level and combat the stressful work environment I turned to New Leaf Wellness and the IV Nutrition Therapy. In just 45 minutes I was back at it, able to push myself and accomplish a very strenuous project. With IV Nutrition, essential vitamins and nutrients go directly into the bloodstream and for my busy lifestyle this gives me the edge I need.”

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.

Save Your Skin During the Holidays!

We’ve compiled 7 best ways to save your skin during the holidays, so you don’t have to play catch up in January. It is bad enough the credit card bills come piling in, do we also need the wrinkles and dry skin? Shopping, parties, family in town, traveling, etc. there are so many things going on this time of year, sometimes neglecting ourselves in the process and even our skin.

Healthy Skin in December

1. Wear Your Sunscreen- Even though the sun is gone, we still need to be aware of the UVA rays that are present year round. These are the rays that can cause skin cancer and premature aging.

2. If you’re stressed out, your skin will show it. I know that being “stress free” isn’t always an option but it’s important to take a time-out every once in a while. Go do some yoga, get a pedicure, a facial (call New Leaf Wellness) or just relax by the fire. We all know these things but we need to be reminded.

3. Manicures- All your running around at the malls and cooking are going to wreak havoc on your hands and nails. Mix any oil (olive, jojoba, grape seed) with a lotion or apply by itself for extra hydration to save your skin for cracking and bleeding.

4. Chapped Lips- This is when you need a Lip BALM, not a chapstick. A balm will heal your lips and a chapstick will protect your lips. Burt’s Bees is my absolute favorite.

Enjoy this post? See 5 Easy Tips for a Healthy Skincare Regimen for more ways to save your skin! >

5. Sore Feet- Peppermint is the answer. You can find it in scrubs and lotions and it will make your feet feel fantastic! Or add peppermint oil to your current favorite lotion!

6. Dry Skin- Did you know that people with dry skin tend to age faster than those with oily skin? Yep, there is an advantage to oily skin. Keep your skin hydrated and not just your face. I’m obsessed with grapeseed oil right now so that is my go-to oil but whatever works for you is good. Just make sure you use it consistently. Those heaters can dry out our skin and make things worse.

7. Makeup- Keep it light and dewy and wash your face every night!

If you’re feeling like these tips are great, but you need more, we hear you! Take our quick assessment to understand what your skin needs!

The Truth About Your Night Sweats

Waking Up Drenched in Sweat?

If you wake up drenched in sweat, think of your armpits as evidence. You do not have to do sleuthing to figure out what is prompting your perspiration. Night Sweats. Therefore, we are uncovering the truth about your night sweats and what your body is really telling you.

Firstly, night sweats are common. In a study published in Annals of Family Medicine, one-third of primary care patients reported night sweats during the past month. Your body is signaling to you, are you listening?

“However, no one knows exactly how common the condition is, because most sufferers of night sweats never report the symptom to their doctor”, says study author James Mold, M.D., a professor of family medicine at the University of Oklahoma. Think of night sweats as smoke detector going off in the home, it means time find the root of the alarm.

Could Night Sweats Be Hormonal?

In a literature review published in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, Dr. Mold and his colleagues revealed that several factors increase the likelihood of night sweats including: panic attacks, sleep problems, fever, numbness in hands and feet, anxiety and stress, and trouble breathing at night. Night sweats may also be a symptom of unbalanced hormones.

Much like hot flashes, low estrogen effects the hypothalamus is often specifically what causes night sweats in women. The hypothalamus is the part of the brain that controls appetite, body temperature, sleep and sex hormones.

“No night sweats or hot flashes anymore. More energy!”

– Rhonda S., New Leaf Wellness Patient, see more testimonials >>

So, it’s important to us to live your best life. We provide a variety of health and wellness services personalized to your body’s deficiencies.

Not Just Women Experience Night Sweats…

It is a common misconception that only women experience night sweats. When men experience low testosterone levels like andropausal, it commonly causes false signals to the hypothalamus producing night sweats. Additionally, men with high cortisol (stress) levels, poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle which can contribute to night sweats.

“It is putting me in balance, and I am becoming active again.”

– David B., New Leaf Wellness Patient, see more testimonials >>

Conclusively, if you wake up in a pool of sweat almost every night, you should give us a call at New Leaf Wellness to get your hormones checked.

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.
