The Menopause Diet in Tulsa, OK
Menopause is one of those things women are taught to fear at a very young age. Wait until the hot flashes. However, thanks to the miracle of modern medicine, hormone therapy has arrived to ease the side effects of menopause greatly. What can you do daily to make this part of the biological process just a little bit more bearable? The answer may be the Menopause Diet in Tulsa, OK.
Helping Menopause With Food
In order to understand what happens to our bodies when we enter menopause, it’s important to understand how foods and diet shifts can affect those symptoms. As defined by WebMD, menopause is the phase in which your period ends, marking the end of your reproductive years. Symptoms of menopause include trouble sleeping, the need to pee more often, sore breasts, and many others.
There may be some foods that you can indulge in (or steer clear of) that may help ease the tension of these annoying symptoms.
Perimenopause – Symptoms and Causes
While in perimenopause, the time that precedes menopause, your estrogen levels may fluctuate. You can receive phytoestrogens, a group of chemicals that weakly act as estrogen in your body, from certain foods. Foods that contain high levels of phytoestrogens include soybeans and flaxseeds.
Another hormone that menopause manipulates is cortisol: your stress hormone. This hormone is a part of your fight-or-flight response that can contribute to visceral fat if maintained at high levels. Be mindful of drinks such as caffeine and alcohol that raise your cortisol levels. You don’t have to cut these drinks cold turkey. Just minimizing your consumption of these substances can benefit your overall health, especially during menopause.

Healthline also recommends whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, high-quality proteins, and dairy products. Whole foods, such as these, can aide in reducing the effects of menopausal symptoms. Ingesting healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids from fish can also help.
Lastly, take care of your body, especially when it is going through a change like menopause. Building and maintaining healthy habits and getting in touch with your body can only help you. It’s a win-win situation. By changing simple habits in your day-to-day life, you may find you’re able to curb the symptoms of menopause.

Menopause RELIEF in Omaha, NE
Menopause is a natural biological process that happens in women and her hormone levels, specifically estrogen, progesterone and testosterone decline. The transition to menopause can take several years for women everywhere including in Omaha, NE, and the symptoms associated with it can vary greatly from woman to woman.
Symptoms of menopause can include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, and difficulty sleeping. These symptoms are caused by the decrease in estrogen levels and can last for several years. Some women experience more severe symptoms than others, and the duration of symptoms can vary as well. Other symptoms are low libido and loss of muscle mass caused by the decrease of testosterone. And the reduced level of progesterone can cause loss of sleep and mood swings just to name a few!
While menopause is a natural part of the aging process, it can be challenging for many women to navigate. It can also have an impact on a woman’s overall health. Estrogen plays a role in bone health, and the decline in estrogen levels can lead to an increased risk of osteoporosis. Women also have an increased risk of heart disease after menopause. Testosterone plays a role in sex drive, muscle mass, energy and mood and progesterone plays a role irregular menstrual cycles, weight gain, and bloating. So all 3 of these hormones are important for females to keep healthy even through menopause.
There are several treatment options available for women experiencing menopausal symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy (NHT) is one option that involves taking estrogen, testosterone and progesterone to replace the hormones that are no longer being produced by the ovaries. NHT can help alleviate symptoms.
Non-hormonal treatments are also available for menopausal symptoms. These include lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and managing stress. There are also NLRX Nutrition Supplements & compounding formulations from New Leaf Specialty Pharmacy available that can help with specific symptoms, such as Stress Reset for mood changes and low-dose vaginal estrogen for vaginal dryness.
It’s essential for women to talk to the provider at New Leaf Wellness about their symptoms and treatment options. Each woman’s experience with menopause is unique, and treatment should be tailored to her individual needs and health history.
In conclusion, menopause is a natural part of the aging process for women. While it can be challenging to navigate, there are treatment options available to alleviate symptoms and reduce the risk of health complications. Women should talk to their provider at New Leaf Wellness, Omaha, NE and the other New Leaf Wellness clinics about their options and develop a plan that is right for them.
Benefits of BioIdentical Hormone Therapy
Millions of men and women suffer from hormonal health issues that can be improved or even completely cured through the use of hormone replacement therapy. Sadly, many of those who can benefit may not even realize that they have a medical issue, because the symptoms of hormone imbalance are often ignored or mistaken for normal “signs of aging”. Today, we are focusing on the benefits of bioidentical hormone therapy for both men and women.
What Are Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Pellets?
Hormone pellet therapy is a major step forward for both men and women. Actually, as with all treatments at New Leaf Wellness, it uses only proven, safe, and effective bioidentical hormones from New Leaf Specialty Pharmacy.
Unlike synthetic hormones developed in a laboratory, bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources. These hormones are extremely safe compared to the alternative. The pellets chemical structure exactly mimics that of the body’s own hormones.
This is crucial, since it means the body’s hormone receptors process bioidentical hormones easily. Subsequently, this accelerates the positive effects of treatment and reduces the likelihood of side effects.
“Made me symptom free from menopause!“
– Stacy C., New Leaf Wellness Patient
How Do Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Pellets Work?
When using pellets, all the discomfort and uncertainty that can be associated with other methods will disappear. You never have to worry about an injection or about carefully measuring out the right dosage. In fact, the pellet does all the work.
A time-release pellet containing the appropriate hormones and dosages is implanted into the patient using a tiny skin incision. Medication is released over time in a way that works harmoniously with the body’s systems and prompts optimal response.
“They help me get my life back- play, work, sex and to feel great again! I feel young again!“
– Rodney W., New Leaf Wellness Patient
Pellet method is appropriate for both men and women:
- Men can gain fast relief from the symptoms of low T and andropause. Our patients generally experience rapid onset of improved concentration, strength, stamina, sexual functioning and sexual sensation.
- Women can overcome symptoms of menopause or hormone imbalance. Unfortunately, hormone imbalance often goes undiagnosed and untreated because many women don’t realize their symptoms are more severe than they should be.
Therefore, with no downtime and no costly medications of daily intake, you can start to feel small improvements within a couple weeks and most patients see noticable changes in their bodies within 6 weeks or more.

What You Can Expect as a New Patient
You’re tired of being at the mercy of your hormones. You’ve noticed all kinds of troubling symptoms since you reached middle-age. It’s the point when your reproductive system is getting ready to eventually shut down. As a result, your reproductive hormones are dropping. This can wreak havoc on your system. Fatigue, a loss of stamina, weakness and insomnia are only a few of the troubling symptoms that can come with hormonal fluctuations. Loss of libido and the inability to concentrate are common as well. Unexplained weight gain is another problem. If you’ve decided to take charge of your hormonal imbalance with hormone therapy, it is likely that you want to know what to expect as a new patient doing hormone therapy.
How Soon Will You See Results?
As a new patient, you need to understand that hormone therapy is going to make a difference in your life. However, these changes didn’t happen overnight to your body. As such, you can’t expect an instant fix. With consistent treatment, however, you will begin to see positive changes. In the first few weeks that you start your hormone therapy regimen, improvements should begin to happen. Your energy levels will go up. Your moods will become more balanced. You’ll find it easier to stay focused and get a good night’s rest. You’ll no longer be crushed by fatigue.
“[NLW Nurse Practitioner named] Angela was very informative and made me feel comfortable with moving forward. Can’t wait for the test results.”
– Kathryn, NLW Patient in Clive, Iowa
As time goes by and you continue with hormone therapy, your libido will make a comeback. You’ll be able to get your weight under control again and may even see those excess pounds melting away. Positive changes in your eating habits and exercise routines can also help you to have positive results.

Early Signs Of Fading Hormones
On a weekly basis, we have patients saying, “I wish that I had come in to see you sooner”. Often they did not recognize the early signs of hormone deficiencies. If they did recognize the signs, they have usually attempted to get answers by utilizing their insurance and seeing their regular doctor. Either way, they have suffered longer than they had to and are happy that they now feel better.
Are Hormonal Imbalances Normal?
Men and women both suffer from hormonal imbalances at around 30 to 50 years old due to many reasons: hormone disrupting chemicals (in products we use on ourselves and our house, in our food, in our water), stress, poor overall diet, poor sleep, etc. We age poorly when our hormones decline. Signs of hormonal decline are irritability, depression, anxiety, insomnia, poor muscle tone, inability to lose weight, increased aches/pain, brain fog, decreased memory, decreased vitality, etc. Men may get a decrease in morning erections and women may get hot flashes and/or night sweats. There are a lot of symptoms of hormone imbalance that get ignored because they often come on gradually.
TRUTH: It is not normal aging for you to feel “old”.
It is not normal aging for you to feel “old”. When you optimize your Testosterone, Progesterone, Estrogen, Thyroid, and Growth hormone it enables you to live your life fully and do the things that you enjoy doing. Replacing your missing hormones with bio-identical hormones is a piece of the wellness puzzle.
Common Misconceptions
The first step is recognizing that you may have a hormonal imbalance and not waiting to get it evaluated. The second step is realizing that health insurance is focused on disease and not wellness. In order to have proper treatment you must seek the care of a physician specially trained in hormone balancing. Put your health and well being first and don’t be a person who regrets waiting. Don’t just take it from us, see what Karen, our patient had to say:
“I decided to try New Leaf Wellness because my libido was nonexistent and while I wouldn’t say I was experiencing hot flashes, the slightest activity (like emptying the dishwasher) would leave me literally soaked with sweat! It was so embarrassing that I didn’t want to leave the house. After one implant, what a difference! My libido is much improved and the extreme sweating has completely stopped! I couldn’t be happier!”
– Karen, NLW Patient for Hormone Therapy in Clive, Iowa
