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 Secaucus, 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.

SECAUCUS, NJ — On Monday of this week, the town of Secaucus released the below update on the large tract of land at the corner of Park Plaza Drive and Paterson Plank Road, which is owned by Hartz Mountain and currently being cleared for development.
The lot is known locally as the Mori tract, for its former owner Eugene Mori.
It is 128 acres total, of which approximately 68 acres are buildable. This is the largest open tract left in the town of Secaucus. The lot is currently owned by Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc., which is currently working with the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (“NJSEA”) to build a large warehouse there.
Hartz will work with the town of Secaucus on construction approvals. At this time, details about the timeline or potential tenants of that warehouse are not known. So it is unknown if it will be an Amazon warehouse, for example.
The Mori tract is zoned for commercial use, not residential use. So if Hartz wanted to sell it or build housing on that lot themselves, they would have to request a zoning change from the town of Secaucus.
Mayor Mike Gonnelli said the town of Secaucus worked with the NJSEA to make sure this huge remaining piece of land was zoned for commercial, not residential, to prevent overcrowding in town.
"If this zoning designation was not approved, the Mori tract could have been developed into one of the largest residential communities in Secaucus," said the town of Secaucus in a statement on Oct. 23. "While Mayor Gonnelli and the Town Council cannot stop privately owned land from being developed, they are committed to preserving as much open space as possible for recreational use by residents ... The Mayor and Council are pleased this large tract of land is not being developed for residential purposes as such a development that would have impacted our school system and other municipal services."

Secaucus will soon cease to be the place for The Children’s Place as it plans to shutter its company headquarters in town next year.
The Children’s Place, the apparel retail company that has been based out of Secaucus for years, will be terminating its lease at 500 Plaza Drive by May of next year, according to filings with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The move will also come with layoffs, with more than 100 of its corporate workers losing their jobs by next week due to company restructuring.
The news was first reported by NJBIZ.
The lease for the offices was set to expire by 2029, but the company decided to end it five years earlier amid changes from “a legacy store operating model to a digital-first retailer” and “to capitalize on the prevailing tenant-favorable market condition,” according to the filings.
The restructuring has also prompted the company to lay off 17% of its workforce, with 138 workers at its Secaucus offices set to be laid off on July 14, according to the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
The Children’s Place could not be reached for comment on the closing of its Secaucus headquarters and the layoffs.
The company’s departure will mark a major vacancy for a town that’s seen corporations such as Panasonic and Goya Foods relocate their headquarters from Secaucus to Newark and Jersey City respectively nearly a decade ago after being offered generous tax breaks to stay in New Jersey.
The departure and layoffs, which come with employee severances and benefits, is set to cost The Children’s Place between $13 and 15 million, with $4 million going into the lease termination.
The company also shuttered hundreds of stores over the past decade in an era where online shopping continued to dominate the brick-and-mortar economy. It closed 14 stores during the first quarter of this year and is expected to close about 80-100 in total.
Other corporations that currently reside in Secaucus include developer Hartz Mountain, who occupies the same building where The Children’s Place is, Quest Diagnostics and the Vitamin Shoppe.
Secaucus Township Administrator Gary Jeffas called the news “disappointing,” and said that The Children’s Place have been a “good corporate partner for a long time.”
“It’s not a corporate entity we’d like to see go,” he said. “We’d love (for) all entities to stay in town, and we always do as much as we can to be favorable towards them to keep them in and around the town area.”

SECAUCUS, NJ — On Dec. 17, 47 kids, teens and adults met in the Harmon Cove clubhouse to fill bags for the homeless and local domestic violence shelters.
The project is called the Kids Blessing Bag project, and it was created by Secaucus resident Brenda Green, who is also a local fitness instructor (Fit 4 A Better Me).
Every December, she fills purple bags with toiletries, such as toothpaste and deodorant, food and winter hats/gloves, to distribute to the homeless and unsheltered people in our area. She asks companies to donate items, and she asks local Secaucus families to get involved and stuff the bags.
Green said last Sunday's event in the clubhouse saw the biggest turnout yet.
"We saw unprecedented community involvement, which increased our contribution to local shelters," she said. "The children assembled and donated a remarkable total of 240 blessing bags."
The bags were donated to the Center for Hope & Safety, a domestic violence shelter in Rochelle Park, Apostles House in Newark and the Hoboken homeless shelter.
Secaucus Mayor Mike Gonnelli and others spoke at the event. The town of Secaucus donated toiletries for the bags, as did the following small businesses:

Green said she started doing this seven years ago to teach her daughter, who was 5 at the time, the importance of giving back.
"This event would not have been possible without the generous contributions of our sponsors and the dedication of numerous parents who jumped in to volunteer and help in various capacities, including the distribution of bags," said Green.

NJ TRANSIT is advancing plans to implement environmentally friendly transit access between its Secaucus Junction Station and the Meadowlands Sports and Entertainment Complex. The Secaucus to Meadowlands Transitway will utilize mostly existing infrastructure and roadways to provide additional capacity. The project also includes construction of a new ground level terminal at the Meadowlands and modifications to the existing bus circulation configuration and terminal at Secaucus Junction, to seamlessly and continuously move a stadium’s worth of people between Secaucus Junction and the Meadowlands Sports and Entertainment Complex, anchored by MetLife Stadium, seven miles away.
“NJ TRANSIT is taking another exciting step towards advancing an innovative and environmentally friendly solution to move additional customers between Secaucus Junction and the Meadowlands Complex,” said NJDOT Commissioner and NJ TRANSIT Board Chair Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti. “This critical initiative will support economic growth in the state, while effectively meeting the anticipated travel demands to New Jersey’s premier sports, retail and entertainment destinations.”
“By once again advancing this innovative project, NJ TRANSIT shows that we are more than ready to tackle the world’s largest events,” said NJ TRANSIT President & CEO Kevin S. Corbett. “With this project advancing, NJ TRANSIT is poised to provide an exceptional service experience to the Meadowlands Sports and Entertainment Complex, bolstering New Jersey’s prominence on the global stage.”
At the August 2021 Board of Directors’ Meetings, staff was authorized to enter into NJ TRANSIT Contract No. 21-017 with HNTB Corporation of New York, New York, for Concept Development and Preliminary Engineering, Final Design Engineering and Construction Assistance for the Secaucus-Meadowlands Transitway. At that time, funding was authorized to complete Phase 1 Conceptual Development and Preliminary Design services in the amount not to exceed $3,542,944.75.
Today, the Board authorized HNTB Corporation to enter Phase 2 for an amount not to exceed $34,952,784.55 million plus five percent for contingencies, subject to the availability of funds.
The goal of the project is to offer a solution that increases service capacity to seamlessly move customers between the Meadowlands Sports and Entertainment Complex and Secaucus Junction Station. This important infrastructure investment will ensure that the area has the necessary public transportation system in place to attract and maintain some of the world’s largest entertainment and sporting events, boosting economic prosperity in the region and throughout all of New Jersey.
NJ TRANSIT sought proposals from planning, architecture and engineering design professionals with the intention of leveraging existing rights-of-way and partnering with adjacent transportation infrastructure owners (such as New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) and New Jersey Turnpike Authority) to quickly and cost-effectively implement environmentally friendly transit access between NJ TRANSIT’s Secaucus Junction Station and the Meadowlands Sports and Entertainment Complex.
As part of the overall project, transit modes studied and advanced as a part of this work shall be configured such that they are capable of either being implemented with zero emission vehicles or be readily transitioned to zero emission vehicles in the future, with the capability of being scalable to fully autonomous vehicle operation as demonstrated advances in the industry allow.

In a shocking move for the local and state cannabis industry, New Jersey officials revoked the Harmony Foundation’s licenses for cultivating and manufacturing adult-use marijuana over unpaid fees, while also approving a number of Jersey City and Hoboken applicants.
The state Cannabis Regulatory Commission voted unanimously Thursday afternoon to revoke three of the four licenses it awarded to Harmony back in December — a cultivator license at its Secaucus location, and cultivator and manufacturing licenses at its Lafayette, Sussex County, location.
Commission officials said that Harmony did not pay the $700,000 that was due for those licenses, prompting them to vacate it. However, Harmony will still be able to continue its retail operation in Secaucus since the fee for that license — $100,000 — was paid in February.
The move is one of the few times state officials had, even if it was momentarily, disciplined a cannabis business.
While Harmony’s Secaucus store, which is the only recreational dispensary open in Hudson County, will still be allowed to operate, it will eventually not have its in-house products to sell after its cultivating and manufacturing licenses were revoked.
Officials said that Harmony may submit new applications if they wish to continue those types of operations.
In a statement issued after the vote, Harmony’s CEO Shaya Brodchandel said that he was “baffled” by the decision.
“The rash decision that was taken is an alarming wake up call to the New Jersey entrepreneurs that are seeking to work within the confines established by state regulators to further grow the cannabis industry,” he said.
Harmony officials confirmed that they did not pay the $700,000 that was owed but claimed that they had reached an agreement with the commission in terms of paying their licensing fees and launching their Secaucus store.
They did not comment further on what the agreement was or if they’ll appeal the decision.
“I think their failure to pay speaks for itself,” Dianna Houenou, the CRC’s chair, said Thursday. “Non-payment is inherently noncompliance. If you have not paid for the license you don’t get the license.”
The latest blow isn’t the first time that Harmony ran into trouble. There had been some scrutiny against the company back when it was trying to open as a medical marijuana dispensary, as well as multiple lawsuits by former staffers and executives.
In the most recent lawsuit, investors claimed that Brodchandel and another operator put the company $30 million in debt and diverted funds to an Israeli cannabis business run by Brodchandel’s brother.
A judge said in that case that while Harmony had demonstrated “atrocious” record-keeping practices, it did not need an outside consultant to control the company, which the investors sought.
In the meantime, the commission on Thursday unanimously approved four Jersey City cannabis applicants, as well as one Hoboken applicant, with licenses to sell recreational cannabis.
The four Jersey City applicants approved were Decades Dispensary in the Heights’ Central Avenue, Jersey Leaf on West Side Avenue, Garden Greenz in Downtown’s Newark Avenue, and Strictly CBD in Communipaw.
While the state licenses are essentially the last major step to opening a store, the Jersey City applicants will not open immediately pending final checks by local and state officials.
The Garden Greenz is planning to open this summer, owner Brian Markey said; Strictly CBD is hoping to begin sales by July, said co-owner Jeffrey Devine, and Jersey Leaf is expected to open this September, according to co-owner George Margetis.
An opening date for Decades Dispensary could not be determined.
The four applicants join three other city applicants who have all gained state approval. Any of them could become the first recreational store to open in Jersey City, where none have yet to open.
Also approved was The Jersey Joint in Hoboken, who are planning to open in the city’s north end. Its expected opening date is the fourth quarter of this year, pending the construction of a new building for the store.
