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.

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:
- Smile and say hello to people.
- Ask simple questions that show you care. (How are you doing?)
- Find out what they are interested in or what motivates them.
- Ask what they are passionate about.
- Ask them about their dreams and goals.
- Encouraging others to take action to pursue their dreams with SMART goals.
- Don’t judge or criticize.
- Celebrate success.
- Listen and be slow to speak.
- 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.

GAC Injections Optimize Your Health
Can GAC Injections Optimize Your Health?
A poor diet deprives your body of the amino acids it needs to function correctly. However, healthy levels of amino acids in your body mean better overall health. Studies show that amino acids can help boost energy, eliminate brain fog, reduce inflammation, and assist in weight loss plans. Three compounds excel at providing these benefits: glutamine, arginine, and carnitine (GAC). When combined and administered via injection, GAC may be the breakthrough treatment you need to optimize your health and well-being.
Amino acids – the building blocks in our bodies that help form proteins – play an integral role in tissue repair and growth, metabolism, immune system functionality, and much more. Unfortunately, many modern Americans lack healthy levels of amino acids. Dozens of years of public health messages promoting balanced diets have resulted in almost no change in the U.S. In fact, nutrient-poor foods make up nearly 27% of the average American diet.
Understanding GAC
What exactly is a GAC injection, you might be asking? GAC injections from Global Life Rejuvenation blend the three conditionally essential amino acids we mentioned above. Each amino acid has its own benefits and contributions to your health. The following is a brief overview of each amino acid:
Glutamine
Like fuel in an internal combustion engine, glutamine gives the cells in your body the energy and power they need to function. Glutamine is crucial for a number of reasons: It helps build lean muscle, enhances your endurance, and is essential for healthy immune systems and intestinal functions. Due to glutamine’s importance to the body, your endurance depletes rapidly when you are ill or stressed. For that reason, many doctors recommend supplementing glutamine so your body has enough on standby when you need it most.
Arginine
Much like glutamine, this amino acid also falls under the category of being conditionally essential. This indicates that its demand increases notably during periods of illness or disease. Research demonstrates that arginine plays a pivotal role in enhancing blood pressure regulation and is a crucial factor in the synthesis of creatine. It also has impressive anti-inflammatory properties, helps relax the blood vessels in your body, and promotes proper blood circulation. As an energy substrate, creatine is essential for cellular energy production throughout your body. When arginine levels are low, creatine production becomes limited, leading to less cognitive function and more fatigue.
Carnitine
If your ideal weekend involves waking up early, hitting the gym, eating healthy, and maintaining your overall wellness, carnitine may be your favorite part of GAC injections. In addition to boosting your endurance and maximizing workout recovery, carnitine enhances your body’s fat-burning ability.
What are the Benefits of GAC Injections?
Like high-octane fuel in an engine, GAC injections can supercharge essential body functions, making your weight loss, anti-aging, and wellness plans more efficient and effective. Are you looking for a quicker way to achieve your fitness and weight-loss goals? Are you in need of an extra “boost” to your anti-aging regimen? GAC injections may be perfect for you.
The most common benefits of GAC include the following:
- Better Sleep
- Improved Energy
- More Endurance
- Mental Clarity
- Efficient Fat-Burning and Weight Loss
- Enhanced Immune System
- Improved Blood Flow and Circulation
- Lean Muscle Development
- Enhanced Mood
- Quicker Workout Recovery Times
GAC Injections…
Millions of Americans struggle every year to maintain their fitness and weight-loss goals. They want to look and feel younger but need help with diet, exercise, and health supplements. If you’re craving an invaluable aid on your journey to optimal wellness and health, contact New Leaf Wellness, Omaha about GAC injections today. By tomorrow, you could be one step closer to a healthier, more fulfilling life! GAC injections are available in all clinics including Omaha!

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 Do You Know About Vitamin B12 Deficiency?
So, what do you really know about vitamin B12 deficiency? Fatigue is the most common symptom of people who have low levels of vitamin B12. But fatigue by itself, can be a sign of almost any health condition — or just that you haven’t been sleeping enough! Other signs of B12 deficiency include confusion, cognitive impairment, unsteady gait, numbness, tingling and fatigue.
What Causes B12 Deficiencies?
Vitamin B12 deficiencies may happen when you aren’t getting the right nutrients in your diet, when your body can’t absorb nutrients properly, and when you have various other problems of the digestive system.
Since most B12 in our diets comes from animal products, vegans are at risk for B12 deficiency. Furthermore, Crohn’s and celiac disease, weight loss surgery, and chronic alcoholism can all interfere with a person’s ability to absorb enough of the nutrients they need. Actually, seniors have more problems with nutrient absorption and malnutrition as well.
In fact, vitamin B12 is a critical nutrient that helps your body make healthy red blood cells. If you have a chronic lack of B12, your body can’t make the amount of red blood cells that it needs, which can lead to anemia.
Is B12 Deficiencies Treatable?
Most people with vitamin B12 deficiencies have a mild problem. But in some cases, vitamin B12 deficiency can have serious consequences. You can develop mental problems, including confused thinking, memory loss, and dementia, which in some serious cases can be irreversible. Low levels of B12 can also cause nerve damage and anemia and weaken your bones.
What Are The Best Natural Sources of Vitamin B12?
Animal products like meat, poultry, and seafood, and dairy foods like milk, eggs, yogurt, and cheese are the best sources of vitamin B12. In fact, honey, vegetables, and fruits are not really sources of vitamin B12, which is why people who follow a vegan diet may not get enough of it. If you’re a vegan, think about eating a breakfast cereal fortified with B12. To add to it, you can also take a B12 supplement, which is recommended for pregnant and nursing mothers who are vegans or even strict vegetarians.
Please note, sometimes B12 deficiency is caused by conditions other than diet. If your body can’t absorb B12 properly, you’ll need a doctor’s help to boost your B12 to safe levels.
In this case, describing your symptoms to your doctor may give him a clue that you could have low levels of vitamin B12. But you’ll need blood tests to confirm it. Some people can easily fix low levels of B12 by simply changing their diet, while others will need a doctor’s help.
What’s Best For YOU?
All of these drugs can interfere with your body’s ability to break down vitamin B12 from food.
For some people, taking a vitamin supplement or eating more animal products (or both) can help boost their B12 levels back to where they should be. But other people may have a severe deficiency or may have an underlying health condition that causes their B12 to drop.
Doctors can treat a B12 deficiency in several ways. If your symptoms are mild or moderate, you may start with an oral B12 supplement, which you take once a day; a vitamin B12 nasal spray used weekly; or vitamin B12 injections, which you need less frequently. Check out our products >
