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!

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!

Today Alex and I discussed chronic pain with a few callers.. A few thoughts on pain:
1 in 5 Australians have chronic pain at some stage in their lives, so pain management is a huge challenge for many health professionals. Pain can come from so many sources, and is often linked to emotional pain and traumas in our lives: deaths of a loved one, an operation, a nasty viral infection, financial difficulties. Neck and shoulder pain, for example, is notoriously worse when someone is stressed. Eventually this can lead to chronic pain for which medical science has no answers for other than stronger and stronger drug therapies.
Natural pain management works to reduce irritation to the nerves; regenerate the areas which are degenerating and re-mineralise the body. This combination helps to reduce acidity, reduce pain and increase longevity. Drug pain management suppresses the symptoms allowing nerve damage, acidity and degeneration to continue.
New Leaf Natural Therapies has many treatments for pain management: naturopathic supplements; frequency specific microcurrent; remedial massage; infrared saunas; structural kinesiology and acupuncture. It’s time to get to the cause of health problems, not just suppress them!

Several years ago, I was going through a very difficult time and was at my wits end. Within two consultations I noticed an incredible difference and have never returned to that deep survival stage where I was struggling to cope with life. For my family and I, Madonna Guy is the right step in the right direction. With gratitude and appreciation, Linda Moran.

Key highlights of November’s Pain Seminar at New Leaf Natural Therapies were interesting… Attendees were from different walks of life, with varying levels of pain and inflammatory conditions: gut pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, exhaustion, rheumatoid arthritis, menstrual pain, insomnia, depression…
When you put it all together pain, regardless of the type, comes from the same causes which were discussed:
- chronic nutritional deficiences such as magnesium, calcium, potassium and B vitamins
- inflammation
- acidity
- toxicity
- structural imbalances and
- stress… leading to the fight and flight response
Our tests can measure these problems and then our naturopathic processes can start to reverse these problems in the body.

We run a learning enhancement programme that works directly on the brain. A combination of muscle testing, with acupressure/acupuncture points lets us know which areas of the brain are working, and which are not. We re-connect areas of the brain which have been ’shut down’ due to traumas, toxins, stress, fight & flight and anything else that people encounter in life. We then use our Frequency specific microcurrent for healing and detoxifying the brain. We’ve been using this process for over 12 years so far (in 2009) and it works a treat!

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!

Jacqueline Dekoke ND has been with our team for over 18 months now. New Leaf Natural Therapies snatched her away from the Advanced Allergy Clinic in the city where she had had great success in dealing with people’s debilitating sensitivities. As a kinesiologist and naturopath she uses her skills well, here at our clinic, and also has the ability to utilise many extra services here such as Live Blood Analysis, Cellular Analysis and Frequency Specific Microcurrent to name a few. She has so many skills, ‘naturopath’ just doesn’t do it justice.
Our cutting edge technology allows Jacq to get to the cause of health problems quickly and easily. Jacqueline finds that many people mention ‘exhaustion’, ‘tired’, ‘chronic fatigue’ within a few minutes of meeting her. She often uses Bowen Technique, Touch for Health, N.O.T. (Neural Organisational Technique) with clients as we find the stresses of life these days really throw people out of whack!
So if you feel you need some nutrition/dietary advice, would like to check out your live blood analysis, have kinesiology done for structural or emotional issues, need us to guide you into a direction of health rather than disease, pop on in and meet Jacq! She’ll take your health where you need to go…
Take care,
Madonna Guy ND Naturopath Wynnum
