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.

THIS HOLIDAY SEASON…GIVE THE GIFT TO YOURSELF!
YOU’RE A SMART & BUSY PERSON…
a Mother, a Father, a Daughter, a Son a Co-worker!
On the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all together but on the inside, it’s a different story.
You’re exhausted.
Your life has been taken over by work.
You’re no longer present for the people you love,
And it feels like life is passing you by.
You know there has to be more than this,
but you have no idea what to do about it.
If you keep going like this, you’ll hit a breaking point.
You’ll either burn out or burn down what you’ve worked so hard to build.
There IS another way.
WE CAN HELP!
Our patients come to us often having tried to ignore this nagging feeling for far too long. They’ve changed jobs, gotten promotions, worked harder, met with life coaches, done wine therapy, talk therapy, shop therapy, taken anxiety medicine, sleeping pills, even done yoga and read self-help books…yet none of it worked long-term.
The reason none of those things work is that they don’t get to the root cause of why men and women seem to burn out.
If you don’t get to the underlying cause, then you’ll never find a lasting solution.
There IS another way.
We work with our patients to heal the underlying causes of burnout for good…and we give you the support necessary to have a fulfilling and meaningful life!
COULD IT BE YOUR HORMONES?
DEPRESSION…MEMORY…FOCUSING
Is it ADD…or could your hormones just be out of whack?
Are you feeling down and worried that you might have depression? Do you have memory problems or trouble focusing and are worried that you might have ADD? Are you gaining weight and don’t know why? It could be your hormones!
Hormones are chemical messengers produced in the body that control and regulate the activity of certain cells or organs. Neurohormones have an important impact on the brain. The human body produces hundreds of hormones, but the following four of them have a very direct influence on brain health/mental health:
- Thyroid—energy regulation
- Estrogen—mood modulator
- Progesterone—nature’s anti-anxiety hormone
- Testosterone—motivation, mood, sexuality, strength
NEUROHORMONES AND THE BRAIN
Communication between the brain and hormones goes both ways. The brain sends out signals that instruct your body’s glands to produce and release hormones, and hormones from within the body send messages back to the brain that influences its activity.
When hormones are healthy, you tend to feel vibrant and energetic. When the hormones that affect your brain neurohormones are off, you are off. You may experience symptoms that change the way you think, feel, and act in negative ways. It also makes you more vulnerable to conditions like anxiety, depression, and even psychosis. If nobody checks your hormone levels, you will never know the root cause of your issues. And if your hormones are the problem, no amount of psychiatric medications will get you right.
THYROID: THE MOOD AND ENERGY REGULATOR
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in your lower neck that plays a powerful role in keeping your brain and body healthy. This gland regulates how your body uses energy, and it also has a strong impact on the brain because it controls the production of many neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, serotonin, and GABA. Problems occur when thyroid dysfunction causes the gland to produce too little hormone (hypothyroidism) or too much hormone (hyperthyroidism).
Hypothyroidism: Brain SPECT scans of people with hypothyroidism show overall decreased brain activity, which often leads to depression, cognitive impairment, anxiety, and brain fog.
Hyperthyroidism: An overactive thyroid produces too much hormone, making everything in your body work too fast. It can feel like you’re in hyper-drive—you feel jittery and edgy, as though you’ve had way too much caffeine.
COMMON SYMPTOMS OF THYROID DYSFUNCTION
Hypothyroidism
- Fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating
- Memory problems
- Depression
- Attentional problems
- Psychosis
Hyperthyroidism
- Sleeplessness, restlessness
- Anxiety
- Irritability
- Racing thoughts
- Difficulty concentrating
- Memory problems
- Depression
- Mania
- Psychosis
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS ARE GREAT FOR YOUR HEALTH!
Most of us know that a healthy intimate relationship feels good and improves all of our relationships while giving us a bit of pep in our step the following day. However, most women have no idea that good intimate relationships release hormones that improve how our entire body works. Hormones are pretty incredible.
They serve as messengers between body systems to regulate behavior, digestion, metabolism, respiration, tissue function, sleep, stress, growth, movement, reproduction, and mood. Hormones tell your body when you are hungry, sleepy, stressed, or getting a little frisky.
Orgasms increase the brain chemical dopamine, which provides a sense of well-being, even in the midst of high stress. Overall, orgasms immediately induce a calming effect on the nervous system and move us from a state of “survival” to a state of “rest and relax,” which our entire system is crying out for at the end of a stressful day. This Valentine’s Day enjoy all your relationships including your intimate ones! ❤️❤️❤️

FEEL AMAZING AGAIN…OPTIMIZE YOUR HORMONES
By Brenda Lee Herrod, APRN, MSN, WHNP-BC
PART II
Some people think of estrogen as the female hormone and testosterone as the male hormone. The truth is that testosterone is very important to women too. Testosterone is important for men and women as it protects every organ and body system. Your overall well-being and life quality are maintained by testosterone. It is a source of youth, longevity, and vitality. By age 40, a woman has lost half of her testosterone production. In today’s environment, we also have a lot of endocrine-disrupting chemicals that reduce our testosterone too. They are found in personal care products that we use daily, like lotions, make-up, nail polish, soap, pharmaceuticals, and plastics.
By having your hormone levels optimized, you can feel your energy increase, enjoy better sleep quality and mental clarity, be able to achieve your goal body composition, increase your sex drive, and protect your bones, brain, heart and lower your breast cancer risk as a woman. You will be able to gain confidence, feel stronger and be more vibrant to enjoy life more. Isn’t that what life is all about?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) using pellets is the best way to optimize your testosterone levels to achieve energy, longevity, and wellness. The hormone powder of wild yams is compounded in a special pharmacy and pressed into a tiny pellet, the size of a grain of rice. Lidocaine is injected into the fatty tissue of the upper buttocks and the pellet is inserted using sterile technique and secured with steri strips and a small dressing. The gradual release of pellets simulates the body’s natural hormone release of testosterone and estradiol. The pellets are released slowly over three to six months according to your cardiac output. They are conserved when you are sleeping, as you don’t need high levels of hormones while you are in a state of rest and relaxation.
Pellets are more convenient than other methods of HRT such as using daily types of hormones like messy creams, gels, sublingual troches, or getting weekly injections. Another important benefit is that your hormone levels do not fluctuate with pellets like they do with other forms of HRT. Pellets mimic the natural release of estradiol and testosterone and levels stay steady much longer, avoiding the ups and downs of your hormones. Hormone levels are allowed to rise higher because they are placed subcutaneously and not metabolized in the liver such as injectable testosterone or oral forms.
At New Leaf Wellness, we will work with you to set expectations, closely monitor your labs and symptoms to help you safely achieve the full benefits of hormone optimization. We want to improve your outcome so you can have an improved sense of well-being and outlook. This stage of life can be very fulfilling and rewarding when you feel amazing again! You deserve this!

MOVE FORWARD WITH JOY
Moving forward and finding joy or connecting to the feeling of joy gives us hope. Having a healthy lifestyle helps us heal and move forward! Some tips to move forward from the point that we are at:
MOVE FORWARD WITH A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE…
• Eating a balanced diet. Choose a variety of colorful fresh fruits and vegetables.
• Limit processed foods, caffeine, and alcohol.
• Drink water!
• If you are a smoker, try to quit. Smoking can trigger hot flashes, weaken bones, and irritate the bladder.
• Incorporate regular physical activity into your daily routine. Exercise improves bone density, reduces weight gain, and elevates your mood.
• Stress management techniques like meditation and yoga improve coping skills.
ANOTHER TIP TO HELP MOVE FORWARD…
Balance your hormones! Hormone therapy is an option for men and women. Your New Leaf Wellness health provider will help educate you regarding the benefits and together you will decide on a treatment plan that is right for you.
Schedule an appointment to review your symptoms, medical history, family history, and lifestyle. Your provider will work with you to tailor a treatment to meet your needs to reduce symptoms, improve your quality of life!
When you are busy with your own emotions – worrying about the future, regretting the past, thinking about what others have done wrong – you are missing what this moment has to offer.
What is really important right now is living life with JOY. But you cannot fill a cup that is already full. You have to empty the cup to let new energy come in. Follow the tips above to empty “your cup”! If you are open, you can find joy, things to be grateful for, and move forward. However, if you are filled with all types of stress and negative emotions it is challenging to move forward.
Let lifestyle changes and balanced hormones help you move forward and better yet…move forward with JOY!
