It’s amazing to me how many people ring me on 4BC to ask about foot spurs, heel spurs and plantar fasciitis… It seems to be a very important, painful, and debilitating issue for many people in Australia.
Firstly, we need good connective tissue support so that the foot can heal and repair properly. Nutrients that can be used are things like silica, magnesium, calcium… Products that support connective tissue support: Metagenics Arthrex; BioCeuticals Silica liquid; Metagenics Cartrin; Blackmores SCF; Metagenics Glucosamine Intensive Care.
Secondly, ensure weight is optimal… carrying excess weight puts huge amounts of pressure on the feet, and they will of course, be inflamed over time. Foot spurs, heel spurs and plantar fasciitis and natural side-effects of long term weight issues. See us about our fat loss programme which has a fantastic success rate and saves you money long term.
Thirdly, structural balancing can be very beneficial: in our clinic we do:
- remedial massage to increase blood supply to the extremities
- structural kinesiology to balance hips, knees, ankles, feet
- foot manipulation to ensure all the bones of the feet are in correct positions
- frequency specific microcurrent to help to break down calcification in the joints
So, there really is plenty of help for heel spurs, foot spurs and plantar fasciitis. Call us today to book your appointment!

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.

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!

Fat-Loss/Weight-Loss Challenges!
It’s important to know that there are definite challenges associated with weight loss and fat loss in some people. The good thing is that at New Leaf we know what to do about it. Many programmes are designed for the quick weight loss only – low calories, lots of shakes, small portions – and that’s fine. But what we find is that there is rarely enough protein in these diets and people lose muscle mass: this leads to exhaustion and thyroid problems.
The ongoing stress with this is that people will ALWAYS put on weight again afterwards! And low fat diets lead to hormonal issues since hormones are made of proteins and fats!
We also find that people don’t detox whilst losing weight, the problem here is that fat mass holds huge amounts of toxins – it’s a fantastic storage space, so by losing weight without detoxification, we’re simply pulling toxins out of the fat mass and less it flow through the blood stream and land in the nerves, the spine, the liver, the kidneys. This can cause a multitude of other health problems.
So, the two tips here are 1. eat heaps of protein and 2. detoxify while losing weight!

We use a really cool system in our fat loss programme – a machine which lets us know EXACTLY what is going on with your body composition, each and every step of the way! Your body composition is the key to longer-lasting fat-loss! It’s simple, we want you to maintain OR ADD TO your muscle mass, and we want you to decrease fat mass and excess cellular fluid. Our practitioners: Madonna Guy ND, Jacqueline Dekoke ND and Linda Hoggard ND all have specific training in Bio-Impedance Analysis – which accurately measures your body composition. Our girls also know when things are going wrong on the road to good health – have you been stressed, sabotaging yourself, given up on exercise. Our weekly sessions keep you motivated and up and running so you get trim and stay trim long term.
The number on the scales is just a number. Imagine this scenario: I hopped on the scales on Saturday and only weighed 200g less than the week before (bummer) – when I did the Bio-Impedance Analysis, however, I found that my fat mass had reduced by 700g and my muscle mass had increased by 500g. So it was only a net loss of 200g. The brain only wants the number (of course) but people get that and so much more with us!
Our fat-loss programme is designed to prevent thyroid disease, hashimotos, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and much more. Come on in and give it a try!
