If there's one universal truth, it's that all of our bodies begin changing at some point. That's especially true for women who are over the age of 50. One day it seems like we're rolling out of bed with a pep in our step. The next, our emotions are out of control, our weight won't go down, and we constantly have hot flashes. If that sounds like you, don't worry â millions of other women worldwide are going through the same difficulties.
The fact of the matter is these symptoms are part of a natural process women go through. This change, called menopause, marks the end of a woman's ability to reproduce and menstruate. The average age for this to occur is 51, though it officially begins a year after a woman's final period. During this transition to menopause, estrogen and other hormones in a woman's body start to deplete When those hormones deplete, frequent and sometimes severe symptoms can manifest:
The symptoms of hormone deficiency can be scary for both women and their partners. That makes dealing with a hormone deficiency tricky because many symptoms are tied to nutrition, stress, lack of exercise, and toxins in your body.
However, if you're getting older and dealing with some of the symptoms listed above, have hope. A solution to your hormone problems may be closer than you think. Hormone replacement therapy for women may help correct imbalances caused by menopause. These effective, safe treatments help many women throughout the menopause process and may even help them reclaim their youth.
To live a healthy life, hormone stability is very important for women. That's where the beauty of HRT treatments for women begins to shine because it balances hormones that would otherwise be altered due to menopause.
HRT treatments for women represent a revolutionary step toward living life without the pitfalls of old age. However, at Juventee, we understand that no two women, and by proxy, patients, are the same. That's why our team of doctors and specialists provide personalized treatment options for women, combining holistic treatment, nutrition, fitness plans, and more to supplement our HRT treatments.
Is HRT the answer if you feel exhausted, overweight, and moody? That's the million-dollar question that we're asked almost every day. And to be honest, it's hard to say without a comprehensive exam by an HRT expert at Juventee. What we can say is that when a woman's hormones are better balanced during menopause, she has a much better chance of enjoying life without the crippling symptoms that other women feel.
At Juventee, helping women reclaim their vitality and love of life is our top priority. While some HRT clinics see patients as nothing more than a means to make money, our team is cut from a different cloth.
The key to balancing your hormones and improving your well-being is a process that we have refined over time. The Juventee HRT process consists of a comprehensive review of your health and hormonal status. Our team then customizes your plan and prescribes treatments, procedures, and supplements under the guidance of our local HRT experts.
At Juventee, we want to revitalize your health by promoting balance, energy, intimacy, and beauty. We start by assessing your baseline biomarkers and implementing a personalized plan to help you feel like your younger self. Our in-depth process covers many factors, almost like a web. Each component of that web works in conjunction with others to make up how you feel. If one area is out of sync, women can experience unwanted fluctuations in their weight, energy, emotions, libido, and more. Juventee is committed to evaluating our patient's overall health so that we may bring vitality and happiness to as many aspects of their lives as possible.
We've mentioned all the greatness that can come with an HRT regimen from Juventee, but what exactly are the benefits of HRT for women? Let's take a look.
We Work With
Unlike some HRT clinics, Juventee's HRT programs are carefully crafted and personalized for each patient. There are no cookie-cutter solutions at our office. Instead, we assess each individual's needs and customize treatments to help their bodies as they age. We replace hormones that are deficient and restore them to their physiological state using HRT pellets.
These hormone pellets are prescription hormones inserted under the skin through a simple in-office procedure. Each pellet is about as large as a big grain of rice. Once inserted, our HRT pellets get to work quickly. With this treatment, patients don't have to worry about applying greasy creams or swallowing pills. Instead, our pellets are metabolized by the body. That way, patients don't stress over taking too much or too little.
Remember, at Juventee, our goal isn't just to balance your hormones â it's to completely optimize your health and well-being. You won't ever have to worry about our doctors writing you a prescription and sending you on your way without any additional communication. Instead, we aim to be part of our patient's journey back to health and work with all of our HRT patients to do so.
Hormone imbalance causes a litany of issues. But with hormone replacement therapy, females can better process calcium, keep their cholesterol levels safe, and maintain a healthy vagina. By replenishing the body's estrogen levels, HRT may relieve symptoms of menopause and even optimize bone health.
But that's just the start. At Juventee, our patients report many benefits of taking HRT for women:
If you're ready to feel better and enjoy the vitality of your youth, Juventee is here to help you every step of the way. It all starts with an in-person evaluation, where our team will determine if HRT is right for you.
For many women, menopause is a difficult time filled with ups, downs, and hormonal hurdles to overcome. While menopausal issues are well-known by some, other women only know that menopause can affect their hormones. The reality is that going through menopause can mean more than moodiness and hot flashes.
At Juventee, we're big believers that a little knowledge can go a long way. With that in mind, if you're going through menopause or are approaching "that" age, consider these common issues. First, let's examine some alternative causes of menopause beyond age:
The most common reason for menopause is diminished, unbalanced hormones. However, menopause can also result from:
Now that we've examined some of the ways that menopause manifests, let's look at some common problems that females regularly endure:
If you're going through menopause and feel like life is a tiresome burden, you're not alone. Studies show that 15% of women go through depression to some degree during menopause. What many women don't learn is that depression may start much earlier, during perimenopause or even earlier.
Depression can be hard to diagnose, even without perimenopause and menopause as a factor. With that said, keep the following signs in mind. If you notice any, it might be time to speak with a physician:
If you notice any of the signs above, it's important that you understand that you're not weak or broken. You're going through a very normal emotional experience, which may be caused by hormone deficiency. However, with proper treatment from your doctor, depression doesn't have to rule your life.
You don't have to have hormonal imbalances to have mood swings. Indeed, everyone gets moody from time to time. For women going through menopause, however, mood swings can be extreme and happen often. Hormone imbalances and mood swings go together, resulting in unusual emotional changes and even issues like insomnia.
Estrogen production, a hormone that fluctuates during menopause, affects serotonin production, which regulates mood. When both hormones are deficient, mood swings can become quite prevalent.
Fortunately, HRT treatments in Alpine, NJ, work wonders for women because they work to regulate hormones like estrogen. With HRT from Juventee, women don't have to settle for the negative consequences that drastic mood swings can cause.
Hot flashes: whether you're a man or a woman, you've probably heard of them. Hot flashes are very common issues associated with menopause and manifest as intense, sudden feelings of heat across the upper body. Some last a few seconds while others last many minutes, making them uncomfortable and inconvenient at all times. A few common symptoms of hot flashes include:
Usually, a lack of estrogen causes hot flashes in menopausal women. Low levels of estrogen negatively affect a woman's hypothalamus, or the part of the brain that regulates appetite and body temperature. Low estrogen levels cause the hypothalamus to assume incorrectly that the body is too hot. When it does, it dilates a woman's blood vessels to boost blood flow.
Fortunately, most women don't have to settle for the intense, unwanted feelings they endure with hot flashes. HRT pellet treatment from Juventee helps to stabilize hormones which may lessen the effects that hot flashes cause.
Staying healthy and fit is a challenge for anybody living in modern America. For women with hormonal imbalances, however, it's even harder. Weight gain is a concerning issue during menopause, but it can be manageable with a physician-led diet, exercise, and HRT treatments from Juventee.
HRT patients at Juventee benefit from health plans that keep hormones in check, making weight loss a real possibility. But which hormones need to be regulated to help avoid weight gain?
Millions of adults around the U.S. suffer from low sex drive, but that doesn't make it any more embarrassing to talk about. For many women going through pre-menopause and menopause, it's an unfortunate side effect of unbalanced hormones. Thankfully, HRT may help women maintain a healthy libido, even after 50. But what causes lowered sexual desire in women as they age?
The hormones responsible for low libido in females are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
Progesterone production decreases during perimenopause, resulting in lowered libido in some women. Lower progesterone production can also cause weight gain, exhaustion, and other symptoms common during menopause. Reduced estrogen levels during menopause may lead to vaginal dryness and even loss of muscle tension.
Testosterone is referred to as a male hormone, but it contributes to important health functionality in women as well. Female testosterone heightens sexual responses and intensifies orgasms. When the ovaries can't produce sufficient levels of testosterone, low sex drive can happen.
The inside of a woman's bones is broken down and rebuilt by bone cells in an ongoing process called remodeling. This process is crucial for maintaining bone strength and health.
However, due to the loss of estrogen during menopause, this important process becomes unbalanced. Less bone is formed, and more bone is broken down. This advanced state of bone loss can be worrying for women, especially if they had an early menopause. With time, women may develop osteoporosis and a greater chance of breaking bones as they age.
Fortunately, HRT for women can actually mimic estrogen and progesterone, which may help prevent bone loss and lower chances of osteoporosis in women. That's huge news for women around the U.S., many of whom are battling early bone loss due to a lack calcium, vitamin D, and other nutrients crucial to bone health.

It isn't every day that 60 chefs gather in one place.
Come May 8, at least that many professional cooks, a good number nationally renowned, will be playing golf and tennis at the Alpine Country Club in Demarest to help raise money for City Harvest, New York City’s largest food rescue organization. And, by the way, some world-renowned athletes will also be teeing up and swinging rackets for the cause.
"We have people coming from all over," said Herb Karlitz, a Demarest resident who is the event's mastermind. "This is amazing. And it's happening right here, in Bergen County."
Karlitz, CEO and president of Karlitz & Co., a 32-year-old culinary marketing and events business that has been involved in some 10,000 chef events, is a longtime member of the Alpine Country Club, a former board member of City Harvest, and a serious oenophile, food lover and cook (do try making his chopped liver; it's divine).
Here are the names of just a few of the chefs scheduled to attend the Celebrity Chefs & Friends Golf and Tennis Tournament: Todd English (a slew of restaurants around the world); Geoffrey Zakarian (TV personality, culinary consultant and cookbook author); Ming Tsai (MingsBings), Michael Anthony (Gramercy Tavern); Marcus Samuelsson (Hav & Mar and Red Rooster); Alfred Portale (ex-Gotham Bar & Grill; now Portale Restaurant); Jonathan Waxman (Barbuto); and Melba Wilson (Melba's).
Local:Check out this mansion in Alpine. It's on the market for $18.8 million
Celebrated North Jersey chefs and restaurateurs will also be in attendance, including Dan Richer of award-winning Razza in Jersey City; Kenny Callaghan of recently opened Boots & Bones in Jersey City; Giuseppe Agostino of Verana in Norwood; Jack Tabibian of Jack’s Lobster Shack in Edgewater, Montclair and Tenafly; and Jonathan Broadwater of Czen Restaurant in Englewood.
The host for the event is former professional golfer and model Paige Spiranac, who was named "Sexiest Woman Alive" by Maxim magazine last year.
Last year, the event raised enough money for City Harvest to provide nearly 850,000 meals to New Yorkers in need.
"We aim to raise even more this year," Karlitz said.

Jersey City’s skyline west of the waterfront was just amplified. In what will serve as a new landmark, Fields Grade and Alpine Residential on Friday announced the topping out of 270 Johnston Ave. At 262 feet, the developers and officials now have visual context for what will be the tallest building in Jersey City’s revitalizing Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood.
The 24-story building is being constructed by KL Masters Construction.
When complete, 270 Johnston will comprise 169 residential units, roughly 9,000 square feet of street-level and 2nd-floor retail space and indoor/outdoor amenities including an impressive, panoramic rooftop deck. The well-appointed residences will feature studio to three-bedroom floorplans, with 10 units designated as affordable.
The building is rising in a location near the 1,200-acre Liberty State Park and across from its light rail station.
“We envisioned 270 Johnston Ave. as a gateway building into Jersey City as it soars high above the New Jersey Turnpike extension and is highly visible to drivers entering the city,” Robert Caulfield, a partner with Fields Grade, said. “We’re excited to see that vision moving closer to a reality as we reach the full height of the building and recognize the collective efforts of our construction and design teams who have helped get us here.”
“We’re creating more residential and neighborhood retail, not replacing what’s existing,” Alpine Residential Managing Partner Bill Rosato said of the partnership’s commitment to the community. “270 Johnston is a key part of a series of developments that are helping to enhance the urban lifestyle afforded to residents in this neighborhood. We’re excited to be a part of the growth of Bergen-Lafayette and look forward to continued investment in the community.”
Designed by Hoboken-based MHS Architecture, with interiors from GRT Architects, 270 Johnston’s design draws inspiration from the post-industrial roots of the burgeoning Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood while also engaging with the Jersey City waterfront and the New York City skyline. The building’s east façade is pulled back, featuring an open grillwork of residential balconies with magnificent views. At grade, the building transitions from the scale and rhythm of the adjacent two-story masonry townhomes to 24 stories.
A comprehensive offering of amenities and social spaces will include 24-hour concierge, state-of-the-art fitness center with CrossFit equipment and a package room. The 24th-floor amenity level will feature an indoor resident lounge, communal kitchen, co-working spaces, and a gaming room, while the outdoor landscaped deck will offer a plunge pool, grilling stations and dining areas.

Novak Djokovic has been making regular visits to the US Open throughout his glittering career and he has found the perfect hideaway to stay at when he plays in the final Grand Slam of the year.
Most players stay at assigned hotels that provide accommodation for the vast army of visitors who descend on New York at this time of the year.
These hotels are set up to provide players with accommodation, food and transport to the tennis centre, but Djokovic does not mingle with the tennis bubble when he is at the US Open.
Instead, he has found a perfect spot to base himself in recent years, as he stays with a friend with stunning tennis facilities on site.
The property in Alpine, New Jersey is owned by Gordon Euhling III and includes tennis courts with different surfaces, including a clay court made up of clay from the same crushed-brick surface used at Roland Garros for the French Open.
There is also believed to be a state-of-the-art indoor court at the estate, complete with a line-calling technology system.

Djokovic and his large travelling team spend time in New York before the tournaments start to sample the unique atmosphere of the Big Apple, before moving to New Jersey to ensure he has the perfect setting to focus on his tennis.
“I combine the city with New Jersey,” Djokovic told NJ Advance Media.
“There’s so much to do and so much to see. Obviously, you have to balance it well with your commitments here on-site, training and preparing and recovering.”
“Normally before the tournament starts, I’m in the city. Then once the tournament starts, we go into full lockdown mode.
“My friend has a beautiful estate there with tennis courts.
“Just me and my family, we stay there. We have a relaxing time. It’s great in the off days between the matches, you just kind of recharge, rejuvenate, and you’re able to come out and have more energy.”
When asked why he varies his locations while he is in America, Djokovic suggested his pre-tournament mode changes when he needs to get down to business.
“I just feel like the city is amazing, but after a while, it starts being a distraction,” he added.
“When the tournament starts, what you need is the tranquillity, just taking things day by day.”
“Gordon is my best friend here in America for the last 15 years. I have always been kindly invited to stay at his place.
“His son, who’s now 14, is playing as well so my kids are friends with his children as well so it’s a great way for me to spend some quality time with my friends and family and recharge for the tough battles here in the Open.”
Djokovic tends to travel with his parents and his wife Jelena, as well as an extended coaching, medical and wellness team.
The seclusion and security of the location in in Alpine ensures that Djokovic has no distractions as he looks to make more tennis history and he admits he can get tense during major tournaments.

“I care about this profession and I take it very seriously. I know a lot of the other players do too,” he told reporters at the US Open.
“We expect the highest levels of dedication from our team members, as they expect from us.
“Overall, we are a team and we stick together. We have had some tremendous success in the last couple of years and I am pleased with where I stand.
“Yes I can be difficult, but I don’t know a player who is playing at the highest level and everything is flowers and music.
“It has to be challenging for everyone, for the player and the coaching staff, or there is no growth.
“That’s how you push yourself to the limit. You need to understand how you can develop the game and how you can become better on and off the court.”

Few would dispute that living in the Garden State can cost a pretty penny and a new report shows that two towns in New Jersey stand among the priciest zip codes in America.
PropertyShark, a New York City-based real estate blog, compiled its annual list of the most expensive zip codes in the U.S. based on median home sale price. The report is dominated by two states; California led the way with 91 of the most expensive zip codes (including six of the 10 priciest), while New York claimed 18 zips in the top 125.
New Jersey’s first entry on the list was 07620, which encompasses the borough of Alpine in Bergen County. It ranked #53 with a median home sale price of $1.7 million, making it the most expensive zip code in New Jersey and the priciest in the study’s Mid-Atlantic region.
The second most expensive zip code in the Garden State was Deal’s 07723, which landed at #85 on the ranking. The median home sale price in the Monmouth County spot came in at $1.5M.
The zip code for Short Hills, 07078, ranked as the 100th priciest zip code in the country on last year’s PropertyShark list but fell out of the top 125 this year despite sporting a slightly higher median home price of $1.42 million.
The #1 most expensive zip code in the country was 94027, which encompasses Atherton in Northern California. The median home sale price in the town was a jaw-dropping $7.05 million and the rankings conclude that the Bay Area, in general, is the most expensive metro area in the country, boasting 55 of America’s priciest zips.
The most expensive East Coast zip code was Sagaponack’s 11962. The Long Island village held onto its #2 position from last year and had a median home sale price of $4.3 million during 2019.
The Big Apple featured 10 of the country’s most expensive zip codes, with 10007 leading the way at #5. The zip includes Tribeca and the Financial District and had a median home sale price of $3.9 million.
It wasn’t just about Manhattan in terms of being pricey this year. Brooklyn broke into the list for the first time ever with their 11231 zip code, which came in at #95. The neighborhood, which includes Red Hook and Carroll Gardens, had a median home sale price that clocked in at $1.45 million.
