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 South Hackensack, 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.

NJ.com compiled a list of 25 New Jersey municipalities they'd like to see go the way of the dinosaurs, and the writer took a few shots at Bergen County in the piece.
Bergen County in particular makes the writer "so angry," yet only three of the 25 towns named are in the county. They're Teterboro, Rockleigh and South Hackensack. The other 67 towns in the county were apparently fine with him.
"In square mileage, Alaska is about 2,700 times larger than Bergen County, yet it only has about twice as many recognized towns," writes the author of the list. Here's why and how Bergen County swelled to 70 counties.
In the late 19th century, Bergen County was ground zero in the battle between the established farming community, known as "Punkin Dusters," and a rapidly growing population of urban transplants, known simply as "Commuters."
By 1893, the Borough Act allowed voters to form their own boroughs by simply holding a referendum. As the Punkin Dusters and Commuters fought over what services they did or didn't want in their communities, the new law gave them a way to break away from what they viewed as local tyranny by the opposing side. The fever broke in 1895 after a change in law, by then Bergen had grown into the 70 municipalities we see today.
In case you don't know about these Bergen towns that got singled out, here are the highlights.
Yes, Teterboro is small, but even so you've probably heard of its airport, and with good reason. Teterboro Airport, which opened in 1919, is the oldest airport in New Jersey and the New York metropolitan area.
During World War I, North American Aviation (which would later become North American Rockwell) operated a manufacturing plant on the site. After the war, it was a base of operations for a Dutch aircraft designer and builder. Then, during World War II, the Army and Air Force took over operations.
It's also home to the Aviation Hall of Fame which features historic air and space equipment, artifacts, an extensive model collection and honors local aeronautical greats and their achievements, including Fred Wehran.
However, despite historical significance, the airport is not without its issues.
With just 531 people spread over less than one square mile, Rockleigh could be easily overlooked. But, it's the former stomping grounds (literally) of Revolutionary War troops and is jam-packed with history.
During the war, George Washington as general ordered a fortified military post established at Snedens Landing to prevent invasion, staffed by 500 troops. Both Rockleigh and Piermont roads were thoroughfares used by troops as well, steeping the small community in history. The borough is also home to 23 historic homes, including the house of Abraham Haring, who was a captain of the Bergen County Militia.
Not only is it historically significant, it was also named 13th best place to live in New Jersey by New Jersey Monthly magazine in 2008.
South Hackensack's name makes it easy to find in theory, but it wasn't until 1935 that it was named so.
Modern-day South Hackensack was once a part of Lodi Township, before the area began to split into Hasbrouck Heights, Little Ferry, Lodi and Moonachie in the early 1900s. The remainder became South Hackensack and is a classic example of boroughitis' splintering of communities into smaller pieces in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
What makes South Hackensack more interesting is that it's comprised of three non-contiguous chunks of land separated by Teterboro, Moonachie and Hasbrouck Heights.
It's not the only municipality to have a non-traditional set up, though. Metuchen, the town Gov. Phil Murphy calls home, also got called out for being a "donut hole town." The township is completely surrounded by Edison.

New Jersey is the land of pizza so it’s very rare that I will be excited about a new pizza spot. It’s also very rare that just a name of a place will make you want to go in there. But who wouldn’t trust a fat bastard who makes a pizza?
Fat Bastard and Son is a new restaurant that just opened in Hackensack, which is owned by a pizza veteran.
Anthony Giaquinto, who owns the restaurant, has been in the Bergen County food game since 1986. He’s also been the owner of Tony G’s in South Hackensack, The Balcony in Carlstadt, G Millz in Hoboken, and Prime Time Sports Bar in Carlstadt according to their website.

And the restaurant business apparently is in the family legacy as fat bastard’s mom owned Giaquinto’s Old Judge, a restaurant that lasted for generations in South Hackensack.
Old Judge, according to boozyburbs.com had a very specific style of thin-crust pizza that apparently is difficult to replicate. Now that Mom’s restaurant is no longer, that specific style of pizza is available on Fat Bastard and Son's menu.
Their menu is extensive and varied containing all of the normal pizza place staples but also with fun entries like their appetizer called the Fat Basket which for $14.99 allows you to pick three of these popular advertisers and throw them into the basket.
Bastard Fries which are topped with cheddar, mozz and bacon. drizzled with chipotle ranch wings, mozzarella sticks, cheesesteak bites, pickle chips, mac n cheese bites, onion rings, and sliders.
They’re also serious chicken and seafood dishes on this menu that make it seem more like a nice restaurant instead of a pizza joint.
Wings, salads, soups, burgers, wraps, and sandwiches round out the menu nicely.
Their pizzas, also, look incredible and so varied that my mouth is watering just reading the menu. But would you expect anything less from a bastard?

TRENTON — A go-go bar in South Hackensack faces a dozen charges for lewd acts and other administrative violations discovered by detectives during in investigation earlier this year, the state Attorney General's Office said today.
Nine of the charges stem from allegations that female dancers employed by Johnny A's Players Club exposed themselves and rubbed against detectives during private dances, which is illegal, the office said in a news release.
In one instance, a woman who called herself "Platinum" pulled out her bikini bottom, exposing herself until the detective inserted a $1 bill, authorities said. She then allegedly asked the detective to buy her a drink, which is prohibited.
The woman then offered a lap dance and pressed her body against the seated detective in several different positions, again exposing her genitals and then her breasts, the office said.
Personal dances are allowed in New Jersey, but "audience participation" or "touching" is banned during those dances. The regulations also ban women from dancing topless or bottomless at places with an alcohol license, the office said.
A second detective who visited the establishment 10 days later had similar experiences with girls who called themselves "Vicki" and "Jessica," the office said.
“These charges should send a clear message to owners of so called ‘go-go bars’ throughout the state that flouting the law by using sexual activity to encourage patrons to consume alcohol is not going to be tolerated,” Michael Halfacre, director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, said in a statement.
The division is seeking to suspend the license of the bar, owned by JRV Holdings, for 445 days. A representative of the bar said he was unaware of the charges and the owner was not available.

SOUTH HACKENSACK — A former councilman and a school board trustee were sworn in to the South Hackensack Township Committee.
At Thursday's organization meeting, James Anzevino, who previously served on the Township Committee, and Luis Perdomo, who served on the South Hackensack Board of Education, took the oath of office.
"I got to meet a lot of faces in South Hackensack," said Perdomo, in his first committee report as a member. "I have my family in the Board of Education. I have my family here in the committee."
In an uncontested election, Anzevino and Perdomo won the two three-year terms up for grabs in November. They will replace Bill Regan and Walter Eckel, who both decided not to seek reelection.
As Township Attorney David Nasta administered the oath of office, Anzevino's wife, Janice, held the Bible, while his daughter Elizabeth looked on. Anzevino comes from a family of town service: Elizabeth is a trustee on the South Hackensack school board and Janice once served on the school board.
After six years out of town politics, Anzevino decided he had more left to do and was nudged along by friend and fellow Committeeman Gary Brugger, who asked him to return.
"There's always something," said Anzevino. "Even when you think you're done, you're never done."
Anzevino, who is a tax assessor for several towns, hopes to bring his expertise to the Township Committee. He plans to explore some of the underutilized properties in the industrial sections of town.
"One thing hasn't changed, and that's the dedication of the people," said Anzevino.
During his swearing-in, Perdomo was accompanied by his wife, Ingrid, and their twin sons, Mauricio and Jordan.
Perdomo served five years on the South Hackensack school board. He said his decision to move from education to politics was a result of wanting to do more for the town.
"I always wanted to be on the town committee," said Perdomo. "Now that I have a little more knowledge in the zoning board and the Board of Education, it gave me better knowledge to be able to sit here."
Some of Perdomo's plans include facilitating the improvement project for Veterans Memorial Park and to repair the soccer field behind Memorial School.
While most of the meeting was filled with words of gratitude for the future, it was also a recognition of the past. Eckel served on the committee for 23 years and decided to step down due to health reasons.
Every member of the Township Committee took turns thanking Eckel for his service, mentorship and helping lay a foundation for the town.
"First time sitting here, looking on the other side of the glass, how it functions," Eckel said as he sat down in the audience.
In South Hackensack, the post of mayor is a rotating position that is chosen by members of the Township Committee each year. Brugger was named the mayor for 2018. Committee member Yris Encarnacion was named the deputy mayor.
In what was a passing of the torch, committee member Brugger asked Eckel to hold the Bible as he was sworn to the position of mayor. When the meeting wrapped up, Eckel looked on at the crowd of residents and the dais where he sat only months ago.
"Seeing the people you affect over the year, good, bad, whatever it may be," said Eckel, "you look at some of the decisions you made and you may have questioned some of them. But they turned out to be good."
