At Nu-leaf we pride ourselves on treating you holistically. When clients come to us with skin complaints we address the underlying causes. For many of us exposure to toxins in our environment and in beauty products is partially to blame. Toxins in these products, when applied to the problem skin, severely exacerbate skin conditions. That’s why at Nu-Leaf we recommend the gorgeous jane iredale – THE SKIN CARE MAKEUP®. Vibrant, modern, versatile colours, luscious creamy textures, Jane Iredale make-up is so gentle it lets the skin breath whilst protecting you from airborne pollutants.

Mineral make-up is creating a beauty revolution. Mineral make-up is so gentle you can even sleep in it and not worry about damage to your skin. It allows the skin to breathe and function normally while still protecting it from air-borne pollutants. The staying power of the minerals is so great that they rarely need a touch-up during the day, and because these silky-feeling powders are water resistant, they won't crease or smear even during the most strenuous exercise.

WHO GAVE HELEN MIRREN HER OSCAR WINNING LOOK?

Helen Mirren, an Academy Award-winning stage, television and film actress, is an avid fan of Jane Iredale products. Smitten with Riviera PurePressed Base, Helen Mirren wears Jane Iredale every day. A leading cause of wrinkled skin is the heavy and constant application of makeup. After years of makeup use, your skin is no longer what it used to be. It is a product of heavy abuse due to harsh makeup products.

Jane Iredale’s Skin Care Makeup has skin-care benefits that conventional make-ups can only envy:

  • Non-comedogenic: will not block pores
  • No allergy risk: all products have been sensitivity tested
  • Broad-spectrum UVB and UVA protection - up to SPF 20
  • Anti-inflammatory: helps to calm and soothe irritated skin
  • Complete coverage for skin conditions like acne, rosacea and redness
  • Contains no talc or parabens
  • Environmentally aware
  • No products have been tested on animals

Nutritional Medicine

You are what you eat…

It’s an old statement but one that rings true. The quality of our diet has a direct impact on all physical processes in the body.

Do you realise that what we eat also impacts on us emotionally and mentally?

The following can greatly influence your nutritional status:

  • The nutrients contained in the foods you eat. These can be affected by factors such as freshness, how they are cooked and what you eat them with.
  • Digestion. How well do you digest and absorb your foods?
  • Nutrient depletion. Lifestyle factors that deplete nutrients from the body. These are numerous but the most obvious are alcohol, smoking and stress.

Is your body getting the nutrients it needs?

Supplementation is not always the answer.

For example, in order for calcium to be utilised by the bones, they also require magnesium, zinc and vitamin D. If there is a dietary deficiency of any of these nutrients, calcium absorption will be compromised regardless of the actual calcium intake you are getting in your diet or via tablets.

What does this mean?

It’s hard to know if your body is getting the nutrients it needs. Even when you do make healthy choices, you might not be absorbing everything you need. In fact, your needs may be higher than most.

How can we help?

Simply send us an email about your health concerns and we’ll get back to you within 5 days.

   

Herbal medicine uses plant-derived preparations to treat and prevent diseases, aiming to enhance your wellbeing. Herbal medicine has been trusted for centuries with scientific research proving it to be safe and effective when correctly prescribed.

All Nu-Leaf naturopaths can assist you in finding the right herbal medicine which suits your needs.

Although pharmaceutical medicine can originate from the active chemicals found in herbs, actual herbal medicine differs. Herbal medicine uses the whole plant to produce a more balanced, synergistic effect. This leads to a safer, gentler and more effective form of treatment with fewer side effects.

 

   

Toxicity is of much greater concern in the twenty-first century than ever before. There are many new and stronger chemicals, air and water pollution, radiation and nuclear power. We ingest new chemicals, use more drugs of all kinds, eat more sugar and refined foods, and daily abuse ourselves with various stimulants and sedatives. The incidence of many toxicity diseases has increased as well. Cancer and cardiovascular disease are two of the main ones. Arthritis, allergies, obesity, and many skin problems are others. In addition, a wide range of symptoms, such as headaches, fatigue, pains, coughs, gastrointestinal problems, and problems from immune weakness, can all be related to toxicity.

How to tell if that your weight loss campaign is failing?

You may not want to hear this but there are sure fire ways to fail when you embark on a weight loss campaign.

  • Do you eat when emotional?
  • Do you skip breakfast?
  • Do you set unrealistic goals and targets?

It’s hard trying to figure out exactly what you are supposed to do.

With so many new diets hitting the market it’s hard to know what one will work.

Maintaining your weight can be hard. We know that it’s unrealistic to stick to a low fat low calorie diet as, after all, fat is usually what flavours our food to keep it from being bland and boring.

Did you know that…

Reducing fat in our diet is actually unhealthy for extended periods of time? The body can begin to suffer as reduced fat intake can lead to health problems including eczema, PMS, infertility, constipation, and arthritis.

We have the solution

At Nu-Leaf Melbourne we believe in a balanced diet which incorporates all of the major food groups including:

  • Protein
  • Fat
  • Carbohydrates

We teach you how to plan your meals so you will not feel hungry or have those nagging cravings.  We are different to many other programs out there.  We treat you as an individual and tailor the program to your needs, taking into account any health issues that may be affecting your weight.

How Does It Work?

The Nu-Leaf fat loss program stops the body from making fatty tissue by ensuring you eat the correct balance of protein, carbohydrates and good fats.

It allows the body to tap into stored fat and burn it for energy.

The program has many benefits, including the fact that because your blood sugar levels are balanced, you do not feel hungry or experience any cravings.

Your meals consist of real, everyday foods.

During the program your Nu-Leaf naturopath will treat the whole body. We do not just focus on fat loss. We address any underlying health issues that may be affecting your weight such as sluggish thyroid, hormonal imbalances, candida, stress and liver dysfunction.

Consultations are weekly with your own personal Naturopath. Within the weight loss consultation we can also address any other health issues that you may have, such as skin disorders, PMS, insomnia etc at no additional cost.

You do not need to do excessive amounts of exercise due to the fact that the body is already utilising fat for energy; however we do recommend gentle, regular exercise to tone your muscles and to improve your focus.

At every consultation we will perform a body composition analysis using a VLA machine. This state of the art equipment allows us to determine the current, overall physical state of the body. The VLA machine tells us how much of your body is:

  • Fat
  • Muscle
  • Fluid

It allows us to determine what type of exercise is most benefical for you and what type of eating program would suit you best, specifically how much protein, fat and carbohydrate you need for fat loss. It enables an objective analysis on the health of the body in relation to its composition. 

What Does It Cost?

The cost of the program varies depending on how much weight you want to lose and the length of program you choose. The programs start at 5 weeks where you can lose 6-8kgs and go up to 20 weeks where the average weight loss is 30-38kgs. We have upfront payment available where you are eligible for a discount and free consultations or payments can be spread out over a period of time.

Are you a member of a health fund with extras? If so you can claim back a percentage of your consultation fees.  Our program is also registered with some health funds and an additional rebate can be claimed under Weight Loss Program, Living Well and Health Management Programs.  Please contact us to find out more about this fantastic rebate.

Prices are totally inclusive. There are no hidden extras or ongoing fees.

As an added bonus we also offer a free rewards card where you can receive free visits, discounts and $100 gift vouchers.

The program is valid for 12 months for the day you join so if something happens and you are unable to attend, you have 12 months to use the program in.

What Does It Involve?

On the program you eat 5 meals a day to keep your metabolism active and each meal is a combination of protein, (to ensure that you do not lose any muscle), carbohydrates, (to feed the brain, supply nutrients and fibre) and healthy fats (to promote good health, increase satiety and increase metabolism).

The diet is carefully tailored to you as an individual. The amount of protein that you need depends on how much lean body mass you have. This is calculated at your initial consultation and at every consecutive meeting to ensure that no muscle is lost. If you do lose muscle you would be decreasing your metabolism which can result in rebound weight gain.

For those who wish to simply maintain their weight, we teach you how to plan your meals, giving you the tools to ensure that you do not put on weight.

Our weight loss programs are simple and easy to follow. Our fat loss programs require no drugs or meal replacements but still improve energy levels.

Our mission is simple: to educate you.

We pay attention to detail. Why? Because our aim is to spend quality time with YOU, listening to your needs and tailoring programs which benefit you.

We answer the who, what, why, when, and how questions, giving you information sheets which explain the principles behind our program.

At Nu-Leaf you’ll learn how to eat sensibly and correctly, never having to pay for another weight management program again.
