There is effective, natural help and support for depression and mood disorders available at New Leaf Natural Therapies. Have you been told you’ll be on anti-depressants for the rest of your life for your depression? Have you tried, and failed, to get alternative help for those debilitating mood disorders? Been to psychologists and psychiatrists, but nothing ever seems to change? Have you been told nothing else will help since it’s just a ‘chemical imbalance in the brain’??
The great news is that there is help for depression and mood problems. There are very specific things we can do to help with depression and mood disorders. Our clinic has been dealing with depression and mood disorders since 1995 with great success. So if you are looking for another avenue to try, then look no further. We are a specialist naturopathic and kinesiology clinic with plenty of knowledge and experience with depression and mood disorders.
Basically depression and mood disorders are about hormonal imbalance (that’s the chemical imbalance they’re always talking about). Hormones are made of good fats and proteins and other nutrients. So when we’re talking about improving depression and mood disorders we have a system to deal with it.
Here are 5 keys to improving depression and mood disorders.
- Find out which nutritional deficiencies you have and deal with those. We have tests, questionnaires and processes to find out where the clinical nutritional deficiencies are and high quality supplements to improve these shortfalls. Depression and mood disorders may be linked to magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc, iron, B12, folate and other B Complex, essential fatty acids, to name a few.
- We have products which improve specific hormonal/neurotransmitter deficiencies such as serotonin, dopamine and gaba. Proxan is a natural anti-depressant which improves serotonin levels, Gaba is a natural anti-anxiety capsule which improves gaba, the calming hormone, Prozestan is a natural supplement which improves dopamine, which helps give us the umph to get through the day, Stressan and Relaxan help to calm mood disorders which are linked to hormonal imbalances.
- We use kinesiology and/or frequency specific microcurrent to reset/reboot the nervous system and to ‘open up’ the conscious areas of the brain, which are the areas where happiness and feeling optimistic and looking forward to life, takes place. Kinesiology and frequency specific microcurrent help to diffuse deep survival patterns which have been running for weeks, months or decades. These are gentle processes which make huge changes to the way the brain functions.
- We need to reduce inflammation of the brain. It has been medically proven that depression and mood disorders are inflammatory conditions: the brain and spinal cord are inflamed, this disrupts the nerve conduction and makes it harder for many processes to function well. Inflammation also eats up many nutrients which are also necessary for creating our feel good hormones – therefore the process of being inflamed (which is a proven medical fact in depression and mood disorders) means that we have less serotonin, dopamine and gaba.
- Reducing pain and increasing relaxation. Many people with chronic depression and mood disorders are in pain (or take pain drugs regularly so therefore don’t feel pain) and their relaxation time isn’t actually relaxing. We recommend Remedial Yoga and Meditation Classes, infrared saunas, relaxing and lymphatic drainage massage and supplements to help REAL relaxation and REAL reduction in pain.
So, don’t just cover up your depression and mood disorders, come in and let’s fix your depression and mood problems today!

If you are after weight loss only, you can do it easily, but it’s not safe to lose muscle! Therefore we focus on permanent weight loss through aiming to lose only fat in our fat loss programme!
Many people want to lose body fat simply so they look good, however, having a high percentage of body fat is known to be one of the risk factors in just about every chronic disease known to man. Elevated fat mass also increases muscle aches and pains and reduces energy and causes chronic fatigue and general tiredness.
In Australia and New Zealand, obesity is skyrocketing with 55-65% of men and women currently overweight or obese. 20-25% of children are also overweight or obese. The good news is that even reducing your body fat by 10% greatly reduces your risk of chronic disease. We all know it, but here are 5 great reasons to lose weight…
- Looking good means feeling great. Excess body fat can affect your self-esteem. Meeting a challenge, improving your health and looking better can improve your sense of accomplishment, self-esteem and health in countless ways. You can do it!
- Improved energy levels. Overweight and obese people have much less energy than people who have a healthy body weight. More energy means more vitality.
- Reduced risk of developing many chronic diseases. Being overweight dramatically increases your risk of developing a number of chronic diseases. Losing weight and keeping it off improves your long term health!
- Healthy ageing. Obesity is related to unhealthy, premature ageing. Consider fat loss a type of “life insurance.”
- You can empower yourself. Losing body fat is an incredibly powerful experience. You are actualising something that only you have the power to do and only you will truly experience the personal reward.
Our fat loss programme, using regular cellular analysis (to ensure muscle maintenance and fat loss) also includes huge benefits such as:
- highly discounted tests such as live blood analysis, insulin resistance…
- highly discounted treatments such as lymphatic drainage massage for moving congestion…
- highly discounted kinesiology balances for emotional reasons for weight gain – stress, self-sabotage etc
Book in to talk to our naturopaths Jacqueline Dekoke or Madonna Guy today about our fat loss programme.

Feeling tired all the time? Exhausted? Burnt out? Did you know that it’s not just a symptom – it’s a sign that some crucial bodily functions aren’t working properly! Medical tests just don’t find anything MOST of the time, but if you’re sick of feeling zonked, then read on!!
How long since you woke up feeling energised?? Have you been feeling tired all the time? Exhausted from the moment you get up, unless you use stimulants – sugar, coffee & tea, cigarettes, stress… Needing these stimulants is a sign that your cells aren’t functioning properly. Medically, nothing can be done until a disease is present, but trust me, you DON’T want to wait until you’re a medical mess.
Here’s a 7 part process to more energy! Talk to us today and get your journey started!
- Have a cellular analysis (VLA) and find out how much energy your cells are giving you. Your Active Tissue Mass (muscle) is what feeds your energy cycle. With low quality muscle mass and low amounts of muscle mass, your cells ARE NOT GIVING YOU ENERGY! Work on improving your muscle mass!
- Have a look at your cells with Live Blood Analysis: there are 2 types of anaemia we see regularly – Iron deficiency and B12/folate deficiency. We regularly find both types of anaemia in Live Blood Analysis with Chronically Tired People.
- How acidic are you? We do urine tests which let us know if you are acidic – if your body has a ph (acidity) of 6.5 or lower (more acidic) than the body is working harder than it needs to: it has a harder time hydrating your cells, detoxifying your cells, removing inflammation, killing bacteria, viruses, helicobacter, parasites and more.
- Remove inflammation: With live blood analysis and cellular analysis we know how inflamed you are, this gives us a starting point. We use infrared saunas, natural supplements, massage therapies, frequency specific microcurrent, structural kinesiology to reduce inflammation.
- huge doses of fish oils that are heavy metal free. Now, this sounds easier than it is, since nearly every supplement claims to be free of toxins. However, did you know the government rules on toxicity are a joke? We only recommend Metagenics fish oils and 100% of their range is completely non-toxic, whereas most ranges are very dodgy. You then need a therapeutic dose of the fish oils to reduce inflammation and allow the cells to function a little better!
- Removing anesthetics: even dental work can impact on energy levels, having moles removed, veins stripped. Tiny amounts of anesthetics can attach to nerve membranes and stop them from being functional, hindering the nerve conduction in the body. We use B12 (at least 2000mg daily); infrared saunas and frequency specific microcurrent to pull anesthetics out of your body.
- Detoxify! Our Foundations of Health Programme is a 9 month programme which works through the body’s filters 1 by 1 and cleanses them. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is linked to all of the filters being clogged, hindering nerve and cellular conduction. We work through balancing the ph (acidity) as well as cleansing the gut (candida, parasites, helicobacter, fungus, leaky gut, allergens); the liver; the immune system and the kidneys.
So don’t despair, if you’re feeling really tired, you need to start at the beginning and treat the symptoms initially, and then cleanse, cleanse, cleanse! Slowly but surely, you’ll get better and better. Start your journey today – call Gabby or Helen on 3348 6098!

Blood sugar imbalances create so many problems for people today: but it is possible not only to prevent diabetes, but also in beginning the process of reversing diabetes. We see so many people who have the beginning symptoms of sugar cravings or dizziness when it’s been a few hours since they’ve eaten.
What are the symptoms of blood sugar imbalances?
- needing to eat regularly
- dizziness if you haven’t eaten in a few hours
- hungry within an hour of eating
- sluggish liver – inability to lose weight, poor energy
- (or hungry all the time)
- mood disorders
- hormonal imbalances such as PMT & PCOS
- headaches and migraines
- chocolate cravings
There are 5 keys to preventing diabetes:
- eat a protein snack every 3-4 hours: meats, nuts, cottage cheese, cheese, tofu
- eat fish for your dinner 3 x weekly along with salmon/sardines for lunch 3-4 x per week.
- maintain a healthy weight and/or work towards a more balanced BMI (body mass index)
- use products which balance your blood sugar: for example, we utilise products such as Metagenics Insulex, Resist X, Fibroplex, Meta Oil
- exercise regularly: 30 minutes daily (minimum) has been shown to balance blood sugar and help our cells to function - usually blood sugar balancing is also about having insulin resistance, therefore the cells simply can’t take in insulin into the cells, and energy creation can’t happen effectively inside the cells.
Our solutions for blood sugar balancing:
- We have a weight loss programme (and a payment plan to save you money) to start the process of fat loss.
- We have a chronic pain programme (if pain is the reason exercise is difficult) which helps to reverse chronic pain conditions.
- We have a hormonal balancing programme (and a payment plan to save you money) to balance all of the hormones in your body. Hormones are everything! Nothing happens in your body without a hormonal component. Nothing!
- We use frequency specific microcurrent and infrared saunas to detoxify the cell membranes to detoxify insulin and allow the insulin to be utilised the way that it should.
So there are many ways we can help you, here at New Leaf Natural Therapies for your hormonal imbalances. See us today!

Have you been worried about your arthritis or the drugs you need to take to reduce your pain? We can help, right here in our beautiful professional clinic in Wynnum, Brisbane! With our Chronic Pain Programme you can use simple naturopathic treatments such as natural pain products and Frequency Specific Microcurrent to get you on your way!
Normal medical tests often miss out on some basic information that can really create an environment in your body where arthritis will just continue. Our naturopathic tests such as live blood analysis, our urine and blood tests and our cellular analysis (VLA) give loads of information that we can then work on with you to improve!
- how acidic are you??? We often see people 200 x more acidic then they should be, that means the minerals (calcium & magnesium) are being pulled from your bones, making them more brittle;
- how hydrated are you? The less hydrated the more acidic and inflamed your body is – see point 1!!
- where is your BMI? If your body mass index is over 30 (20% higher than perfect weight), the body is an inflammatory, stress creating, insulin resistant machine. That means that you’ll be more inflamed and acidic…
Are you seeing a pattern here? Therefore we work on, you guessed it, inflammation and acidity!!! Our frequency specific microcurrent machine helps to target specific areas of the body and reduces inflammation such as joints, tendons, bursa, joints, vertabra etc.
Talk to us today, and fix your arthritis! In our Chronic Pain Programme (payment plan) you also get other benefits such as:
- 1/2 price massage therapies with Katheine Lynn & Cherice Day (until we are fully booked)
- 1/2 price kinesiology sessions
- 1/2 price infrared saunas
- 1/2 price allergy testing and treatments with Jacqueline Dekoke and lots more!!!

Is your life, or the life of a loved one, hampered by chronic auto-immune conditions?
At New Leaf Natural Therapies we have had great success with auto-immune diseases such as Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis. Hope truly is out there if you have these, or other auto-immune disorders such as fibromyalgia, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, hashimotos & Graves Disease and much more. Our practitioners and team have a combined 60 years experience within the natural therapies industry, and plenty of experience with auto-immune diseases.
Interestingly, the experience our practitioners and I have had as newer, stronger and more effective supplementation is much available, has been even better. We utilise detoxification products (auto-immune conditions are heavily linked with heavy metal toxicity) and products which increase the production of stem cells, products which balance the immune system (as auto-immunity is like having an ADHD immune system – overworking to attack specific cells in the body).
We provide the following tests for people with chronic auto-immune disease:
- live blood analysis: looking at immunity, anti-oxidant levels, invisible toxicity, sluggish or overactive immunity, essential fatty acid levels and more;
- acidity levels – the more acidic the body is the more risk of chronic disease, the more minerals are ‘pulled’ from the bones, nerves, muscles and brain;
- reasons for auto-immunity – gut issues such as leaky gut, helicobacter, candida, celiac disease, insulin resistance. All of these conditions increase inflammation and toxicity levels in the gut, and the gut is home to over 70% of the immune system;
- BMI, fat mass & muscle mass readings with Cellular Analysis: if the BMI (body mass index) is over 30 then inflammation continues unabated in the body regardless of the amount of anti-inflammatories (natural or drug) are being taken, so working on the BMI is imperative.
So the treatment involves working on inflammation and acidity, the immune system, weight issues, toxicity levels, gut and liver health. Wow, can it be done??? It sure can, ask about our payment plans for saving you money on our programmes today!
