Avoiding Ultra-Process Foods

WHAT ARE ULTRA-PROCESSED FOODS?

Many people suggest we avoid ultra-processed food and choose whole foods instead. What are ultra-processed foods? According to Harvard Health, food processing often involves adding ingredients like sugar, salt, fat, artificial colors, preservatives, flavors, and/or stabilizers, so these processed products are “made mostly from substances extracted from foods, such as fats, starches, added sugars, and hydrogenated fats.” In other words, it feels like a bit of a stretch to call them food in the first place.

AMERICAN DIET

Unfortunately, the typical American diet (and grocery store) is chock-full of these products, from cookies and crackers to frozen meals and sugar-packed sodas.

One 2022 report noted that a whopping 73% of the U.S. food supply can be considered ultra-processed—partially because these “Frankenfoods” are much more profitable for manufacturers, costing on average 52% less than minimally processed options. However, for the humans consuming them, they have many impacts that are far from positive—in fact, they’re downright health-destroying. Let’s look at just some of the ways in which they harm the entire human body, over both the short and long term.

EATING HIGHLY PROCESS FOODS CAN BE ADDICTIVE

One study, published in late 2022 in the journal Addiction, evaluated these foods according to the criteria established when researchers examined the impacts of tobacco in the 1980s. The findings noted that these addictive hallmarks include:

  • Loss of control over intake, such as seen with compulsive or binge eating
  • Intense cravings, or strong urges that are difficult to resist
  • Inability to reduce consumption—for example, eating even when not hungry
  • Continued use despite negative consequences, including serious health concerns like obesity

The study estimated that roughly 14% of adults and 12% of children exhibit signs of food addiction.

EATING HIGHLY PROCESS FOODS MAY INCREASE THE RISK FOR COGNITIVE DECLINE

We already know that high-glycemic, low-fiber foods and other nutritionally empty culprits, are potential memory destroyers. More specifically, a study presented at the 2022 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, published in JAMA Neurology and reported by CNN, stated that consuming more than 20% of the daily calorie intake (that is, 400 calories of a 2,000-calorie diet) via ultra-processed foods may increase the risk for cognitive decline. This decline occurred at a rate of 28% faster among men and women who consumed large amounts of these foods, and they also experienced a 25% faster decline in executive function. Unfortunately, many Americans consume far more than 20% of their daily calories in ultra-processed foods, with one 2017 study reporting that number at 57.5% among its survey participants.

HIGHLY PROCESSED FOODS BOOST THE ODDS OF EXPERIENCING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES

A 2022 review of 17 studies researched the links between processed foods and mental health disorders. The findings stated that “greater ultra-processed food consumption was cross-sectionally associated with increased odds of depressive and anxiety symptoms” and “was associated with increased risk of subsequent depression.” Correspondingly, another study from 2020 found that participants whose ultra-processed food intake made up more than 73% of their total energy intake had a 35% higher risk of depressive symptoms, compared with those who consumed 34% or less of their total calories from ultra-processed foods. Clearly, there is a reason why the Standard American Diet spells SAD!

EATING ULTRA-PROCESSED FOODS HAS BEEN LINKED TO INCREASED PHYSICAL HEALTH RISKS

In 2019, two large European studies were published in The BMJ. These studies established a positive association between eating highly processed foods and the risk of cardiovascular disease and even death. The first study, from NutriNet-Santé, surveyed 105,159 French adults (79% of whom were female, with an average age of 43 years). The conclusion was that a “10% increase in the proportion of ultra-processed food in the diet was associated with significantly higher rates of cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease (an increase of 12%, 13%, and 11%, respectively).” Meanwhile, a diet higher in unprocessed or minimally processed foods is correlated with a lower risk of all these health issues.

The second study investigated the link between eating ultra-processed foods and the risk of death from any cause. Like the first study, it surveyed participants over 10 years. The BMJ results demonstrated that “higher consumption of ultra-processed foods (more than 4 servings per day) was associated with a 62% increased risk of all-cause mortality compared with lower consumption (less than 2 servings per day). Each additional daily serving of ultra-processed food is correlated with an 18% relative mortality risk increase. These two studies point to possible links between Frankenfoods and poorer quality of life. More research is needed to establish cause and effect.

WHICH ULTRA-PROCESSED FOODS ARE THE WORST?

Though eating anything that fits into the ultra-processed or highly processed categories interferes with optimal full-body health, researchers have hypothesized that certain foods are more likely to trigger addictive-like behaviors. For example, a pair of studies from 2015 compared the making of these toxic food products to the processing that transforms a coca leaf into cocaine—in other words, both have been altered to speed up absorption into the bloodstream.

Ultra-processed foods have large glycemic loads. Glycemic load relates to the food’s dosage of refined carbohydrates and the resulting blood sugar spike. A 2018 study noted that carbs with a high glycemic index “elicit a rapid shift in blood glucose and insulin levels, akin to the pharmacokinetics of addictive substances.” Like with other commonly abused drugs, glucose and insulin levels influence dopamine concentration, so sugar creates cravings and addiction. Accordingly, the these studies referenced above pointed to high-glycemic-load foods as the worst offenders.

15 ULTRA-PROCESSED FOODS TO AVOID

Some of the worse ultra-processed foods that you should nix from your diet include the following 15 nutritional disasters:

  1. Processed meats (sausages, hot dogs, and deli meats)
  2. Sugary breakfast cereals
  3. Sodas and energy drinks
  4. Frozen pizzas
  5. Mashed potato flakes
  6. Packaged cookies
  7. Blended coffee drinks and flavored creamers
  8. French fries
  9. Pretzels
  10. Baked goods
  11. Candy
  12. Instant noodles
  13. Flavored chips and cheese puffs
  14. Processed cheese sticks
  15. Barbecue sauce

FINDING THE BEST OPTIONS AMONG PROCESSED FOODS

Researchers at Northeastern University have created an online tool that rates foods. This online tool rates foods within the same product category on a scale from 1-100 from least processed to ultra-processed. For example, in the “Spread & Squeeze” category, Whole Foods’ 365 brand almond butter scores 5/100 while the same brand of “Cookie Butter” spread is rated at 77/100. This tool can help us make better food choices.

Whole foods, of course, may contain sugar (like you’d find in fruit). Whole foods also contain fiber, protein, and water, making it slower to hit the bloodstream and do not cause that same feeling of a sugar rush. Stick to unprocessed or minimally processed foods in the produce section, such as nuts or legumes. Unprocessed foods promote maximum health and longevity over the long haul.

Supporting Nad+ at New Leaf Wellness

WHY IS NAD+ IMPORTANT, AND WHY YOU MIGHT WISH TO CONSIDER SUPPLEMENTING YOU NAD LEVELS AS YOU AGE?

So, first up, what is it?

NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, and it’s a molecule found in everything. From simple organisms like bacteria to the most complex organisms like humans.

WHAT DOES NAD DO? THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS A LOT.

Furthermore, researchers believe NAD is involved in over 300 cellular processes, from regulating cellular health to DNA repair, and energy production.

Without NAD, our bodies wouldn’t be able to make energy, and we would die within seconds… so, you could say it’s pretty important!

When it comes to energy production, you can think of NAD as a molecular Robin Hood, because it steals electrons and protons from energy-rich molecules (like glucose) and gives them to needy mitochondria so they can do their crucial job of being the “powerhouse of the cell”.

Unfortunately, as we get older, our NAD levels steadily decline. For example, between the ages of 45 and 60, we lose approximately 30% of our NAD.

Scientists have found that, by middle age, people have around half the NAD of when they were in their 20s, and this creates knock-on effects for the important longevity pathways that rely on NAD.

When there’s not enough NAD present for these pathways to function at their best, nasty feedback loops can be created that actually speed up cellular aging. They can be linked to an increased risk of things like cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and more.

NAD decline can be affected by lifestyle choices, too. For those of us who enjoy a drink – studies show NAD decline can even be sped up by alcohol consumption and over-nutrition, as well as overexposure to UV rays.

SO, WITH THE BAD NEWS OUR OF THE WAY, IT’S TIME FOR THE GOOD NEWS!

Various studies in animal models have shown that restoring NAD to youthful levels protects against age-associated decline in mitochondrial function, muscle regeneration, insulin sensitivity, and more. Researchers have some very impressive results in increased endurance and extended lifespan, too.

Additionally, human studies are now emerging showing many of the same benefits. Activities like intense exercise, fasting, and being in a caloric deficit all help to naturally restore your NAD levels. Additionally, this is why researchers often talk about doing things that put your body into “survival mode.”

On top of these healthy (but admittedly hard) measures, many people choose to supplement with oral NAD precursors like NR (nicotinamide riboside) and NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide). Furthermore, the human data on these supplements is looking very promising.

For example, a recent study out of China found that NMN increased the aerobic capacity of middle-aged runners. Japan had a study (2022) and found that afternoon intake of NMN improved lower limb function and reduced drowsiness in older adults.

These outcomes align with the animal studies supporting NAD restoration. NAD can help to improve the robustness of the circadian rhythm, which is the major driver of our sleep cycle. We all know how much better we feel after a good night’s sleep!

While popular oral precursors like NR and NMN are promising, you can also support NAD+ levels by supplementing directly with the real thing.

  • To learn more about prescription-grade supplementation options, such as NAD injections and NAD patches, talk to your provider at New Leaf Wellness in Omaha, NE, and in the other New Leaf Wellness clinics.

What Does Stress do to Your Hormones and Health?

What Does Stress do to Your Hormones and Health? When you get stressed, overwhelmed, bouts of anxiety your hypothalamus goes to work. Your hypothalamus triggers the release of adrenaline and then tells the Pituitary to pump out some ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) which then finally tells your adrenal glands to release the all to famous stress hormone Cortisol!!! Cortisol is an important hormone and we need it or we die! So don’t be so quick to think negatively of cortisol. If it weren’t for cortisol when you got under stress your body would not know how to function. It has a large amount to do with blood sugar being released when you’re under stressed or working hard/ exercising. It also wakes you up in the morning.

What is Cortisol?

Cortisol is your wake up hormone and melatonin is your sleep hormone. They are literally opposites. It also helps fight off infection. But if too high, it can start breaking down your muscle tissue. There is more to the biological regulation picture of stress, but for now just understand there is a TON going on when you get stressed. It triggers cortisol to go high, turns off your digestion, down regulates your parasympathetic nervous system, turns down your hormone production, and causes your brain to get inflamed.

Food Intake

A few things you can start to do immediately is reduce your intake of inflammatory foods like gluten, dairy, and refined sugars. Get more wholesome real foods into your body like healthy fats, high quality proteins, tons and tons of veggies and real produce. Grow a garden or get to the farmers markets!!! Slow down and do more intentional quality LIVING.

Self Love

Do things that fill your heart and soul with happiness and joy. Say no to extra projects or things that don’t light you up. Get to sleep earlier and learn ways to protect yourself from blue lights. Like did you know your iphone has a setting you can turn off your blue lights at night and switch it to a red tint??? It’s under your settings, accessibility and display/ text setting and press color filters, go to tint, then press your power button three times to switch blue lights off.

I love my meditation, prayer time and playing with my sound healing tools. That is one of the best ways I reduce my stress.

Now is the time to slow down, rest more, Enter a more “Yin” state of being more often, find a day to go get a massage, make time to get out in mother natures healing forces, Ground your bare feet on the earth, listen to calming music, turn off your TV more often, don’t listen to the negative news or draining people. Stay in your happy bubble. Life and your mental well being are way too precious!

Get into an activity or support group that makes you feel good, loved, and accepted. There is so much research about how we can die early from loneliness. Find your tribe, and love them hard! I love you!!!

Simplify = Less Stress

What does stress do to your hormones and health? Stress steals years of your life and can make you down right crabby. So do whatever you can to simplify your life!!! You don’t need to be the best, just do the best YOU CAN DO! Comparing ourselves to others will for sure stress us out, so don’t do that. Honor the beautiful uniqueness YOU are meant to be!!! Here’s to saying NO to stress for hormone and health in your life!

If you are experiencing symptoms of stress, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our team at New Leaf Wellness.

Why is Food the Foundation of Estrogen Reset?

Why is Food the Foundation of Estrogen Reset?

Estrogen is a critical hormone that plays a significant role in the health and well-being of women. It is responsible for regulating the menstrual cycle, maintaining bone density, supporting cardiovascular health, and much more. However, in today’s modern world, many factors can disrupt the delicate balance of estrogen in our bodies, leading to hormonal imbalances and related health issues. One powerful way to reset and rebalance estrogen levels is through nutrition, making food the foundation of our estrogen reset.

Estrogen dominance, a condition where the levels of estrogen in the body are higher than progesterone, is a common hormonal imbalance that affects many women. Factors such as stress, environmental toxins, poor diet, lack of exercise, and hormonal birth control can all contribute to estrogen dominance. The good news is that by making strategic changes to our diet, we can help reset estrogen levels and restore hormonal balance.

The role of food in our estrogen reset begins with the concept of phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring compounds found in plant-based foods that have a similar chemical structure to estrogen. When consumed, phytoestrogens can bind to estrogen receptors in our bodies and either mimic or block the effects of estrogen. This can help regulate estrogen levels, reducing the risk of estrogen dominance or deficiency.

There are several reasons why estrogen reset relies on food:

  1. Phytoestrogens: As mentioned earlier, phytoestrogens play a significant role in estrogen reset. Foods such as flaxseeds, sesame seeds, soybeans, lentils, and chickpeas are rich sources of phytoestrogens. Including these foods in our diet can help balance estrogen levels by either mimicking or blocking estrogen’s effects, depending on the body’s needs.
  2. Fiber: A high-fiber diet is beneficial for estrogen reset as it helps with estrogen elimination. Fiber binds to estrogen in the digestive tract, preventing its reabsorption and promoting its elimination through the feces. Your diet should include fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables to optimize estrogen balance.
  3. Antioxidants: Antioxidants found in colorful fruits and vegetables, such as berries, leafy greens, and cruciferous vegetables, can help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. For estrogen reset, antioxidants are important, since inflammation can disrupt hormonal balance and contribute to estrogen dominance.
  4. Healthy Fats: Including healthy fats in our diet, such as avocados, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish, can help estrogen reset. Healthy fats provide the building blocks for hormone production and support hormonal balance. They also help with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, which are essential for estrogen metabolism.
  5. Organic and Whole Foods: Choosing organic and whole foods are crucial for estrogen reset. Many conventional foods, such as meat, dairy, and produce, can contain synthetic hormones, pesticides, and other harmful chemicals that disrupt hormonal balance. Opting for organic and whole foods reduces exposure to these harmful substances and supports a healthy estrogen reset.
  6. Avoidance of Processed Foods: Processed foods, such as refined grains, sugary foods, and processed meats, can negatively impact hormonal balance. They are often high in unhealthy fats, sugar, and salt, and low in essential nutrients. These foods can contribute to inflammation, insulin resistance, and other metabolic issues, which can disrupt estrogen levels. A successful estrogen reset requires reducing or avoiding processed foods. Keeping these foods out of the diet will reduce the amount of harmful toxins consumed and improve overall health.
  7. Gut Health: Gut health is closely linked to hormonal balance, including estrogen reset. A healthy gut microbiome supports proper digestion and absorption of nutrients, including those needed for estrogen metabolism.

Talk to your provider at New Leaf Wellness, Omaha, NE and the other New Leaf Wellness clinics about your estrogen levels and develop a plan that is right for you!

Support Weight Loss with B12 & MIC

Supporting Weight-loss with B12 & MIC

Whether you’re just starting B12 & MIC or considering them to support your weight-loss journey, we’ve got what you need. Our goal at New Leaf Wellness is to help you make the best decisions regarding your health and wellness.

First – what is B12?

Vitamin B-12 plays an essential role in red blood cell formation, cell metabolism, nerve function, and the production of DNA, the molecules inside cells that carry genetic information. The body of evidence in support of these claims is substantial. But, perhaps the best proof of B12’s superpowers is what happens when it is not adequately present in the body. Individuals with known B12 deficiencies or those prone to a potential deficiency due to lifestyle must supplement vitamin B12. Failure to do so may lead to a variety of health issues including anemia, fatigue, muscle weakness, intestinal problems, nerve damage, and mood disturbances, to name a few examples. Vitamin B-12 deficiency is not super common in the U.S.; however, vegetarianism or veganism is increasingly so. Unfortunately, the parameters of plant-based diets restrict individuals from the very foods where B12 is naturally occurring – mainly, fish, poultry, meat, eggs, and dairy products.

Deficiencies are also seen in older adults and people with digestive tract conditions or pernicious anemia. These individuals can receive an injectable form of the vitamin, which altogether bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. B12 injections (Boost Program) are more readily absorbed in the body and do not have to be administered as often as oral tablets. As a result, injectable B12 has become a popular choice for anyone seeking B12 supplementation, not just those with poor digestive health.

What is B12 + MIC? Or the Boost Program?

The full formula and the roles of its various components are as follows:

  • B12 is a water-soluble vitamin involved in the metabolism that helps the body use fat & carbohydrates for energy & to make new protein
  • Methionine is an essential amino that speeds up fat removal within the liver & neutralizes toxins, promoting lean muscle growth
  • Inositol is an essential amino that plays a critical role in metabolic function
  • Choline is an essential nutrient that helps to regulate memory, mood, muscle control & many other functions

This combination is most effective when used as part of a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. B12 & MIC can help support energy levels, help build lean muscle mass, and even help initiate modest weight loss. For some, it can help to jump-start weight loss.

Patients looking to help push beyond a sticking point in their health goals, short-term B12 & MIC use might be appropriate. For others looking for a longer-term solution, the B12 & MIC formulation can be a regular tool in an arsenal of weight management strategies.

As stated previously, B12 & MIC is likely to be most effective when used as part of a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. Supporting Weight-loss with B12 & MIC are fine to use short-term or long-term, depending on your health goals. You should discuss B12 & MIC or the Boost Program use with your provider at New Leaf Wellness, Omaha, NE and the other New Leaf Wellness clinics and develop a plan that is right for you.

Comparing Telehealth to Local Providers

In today’s digital age, telemedicine has emerged as a convenient option for seeking medical care remotely. However, when it comes to certain specialized treatments like Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) pellet therapy, local providers from New Leaf Wellness, Omaha offer a wealth of advantages that telemedicine may not provide. Comparing Telehealth to Local Providers is easy when it comes to personalized care. With a local provider, you gain access to a comprehensive range of services, including personalized care, HRT pellet therapy, and regular lab monitoring for optimal results.

The Power of Personalized Care

One of the standout benefits of choosing a local provider for your healthcare needs is the personal touch they offer. Unlike telemedicine, which can sometimes feel impersonal due to the lack of face-to-face interaction, local providers take the time to understand your unique health concerns, goals, and medical history. They can build a strong doctor-patient relationship, providing tailored guidance and support throughout your treatment journey.

HRT Pellet Therapy for Optimal Results

Hormone imbalances can significantly impact our overall well-being and quality of life. Local providers specializing in HRT understand the importance of personalized treatment plans to restore hormonal balance effectively. HRT pellet therapy is a highly effective approach that involves the insertion of hormone pellets under the skin. These pellets release a steady and precise dose of hormones, closely mimicking the body’s natural hormone production. The New Leaf Wellness providers are trained and experienced in administering this therapy, ensuring you receive optimal results and maximum symptom relief.

Regular Lab Monitoring:

Another advantage of choosing a local provider is their ability to offer regular lab monitoring. This aspect is crucial in HRT, as hormone levels can fluctuate over time. By checking your labs quarterly, your local provider can track the effectiveness of your treatment, make necessary adjustments, and ensure you are achieving optimal hormone levels. This proactive approach allows for ongoing evaluation and optimization of your therapy, leading to better overall health outcomes.

Accessibility and Continuity of Care:

With a New Leaf Wellness local provider, you have the advantage of accessibility and continuity of care. In case of any urgent medical needs or follow-up appointments, you can easily reach out to your provider or schedule an in-person visit. Additionally, this level of accessibility fosters a sense of reassurance, knowing that you have a dedicated healthcare professional nearby who can address your concerns promptly.

Sense of Community:

Choosing a local provider allows you to become part of the clinic that is centered around your healthcare needs. At New Leaf Wellness, the providers offer educational, support, and a Wellness Coach, providing opportunities to achieve optimal health. This sense of community fosters a supportive environment where you can learn, share, and find encouragement along the way.

Conclusion:

While telemedicine offers convenience and remote access to medical care, it may not provide the comprehensive range of services that local providers can offer. When it comes to specialized treatments like HRT pellet therapy, personalized care, regular lab monitoring, accessibility, and health support are key factors that local providers excel in. By choosing a local provider, you can ensure that you receive the highest level of care, tailored treatment plans, and ongoing support to optimize your health and well-being. Personalized care is best achieved with local providers like New Leaf Wellness, Omaha.

Comparing Telehealth to Local Providers is easy when it comes to personalized care. In conclusion, when it comes to your health, the choice is clear.
