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 Bergenfield, 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.

Our team will answer your initial questions, conduct necessary testing, and craft a customized program designed to alleviate the challenges you're facing as a woman going through menopause.

BERGENFIELD — The local movie theater that was a mainstay of the downtown for the past century will be redeveloped into a Korean barbecue and hot pot restaurant.
The proposal was approved Monday by the Planning Board. The 260-seat restaurant, to be called Meat Palace — an homage to the original name of the theater — will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily, said Mayor Arvin Amatorio.
The restaurant will add yet another option to an eclectic dining scene on South Washington Avenue.
“It’s a place where we can experience the authentic and delicious flavors of Korean cuisine, cooked right at the table,” the mayor said, announcing the news in a Facebook post on Thursday.
The owner of the restaurant will renovate the two-story building, Amatorio said, while preserving some of its features — including at least one of its five projection screens. He said part of it will be used as a dinner theater.
Amatorio said it was disappointing that the theater went out of business at the end of last year. But he said, its future use as a restaurant is important for the viability of the business corridor, which stretches for 1½ miles between the Dumont and Teaneck borders.
Amatorio said he and the previous property owner hunted for a cinema operator to take over the theater.

“I tried to look for potential buyers,” the mayor said, “but I couldn’t find anyone.”
Eventually, someone else showed interest.
In March, a Haworth-based limited liability company bought the property at 58-60 South Washington Ave. for $1.9 million.

It encompasses a row of storefronts — a total of 18,357 square feet — between the theater and the corner of Bedford Avenue.
Existing businesses, including a hair salon, a school for ballroom dancing and Empanada Mania, a popular Latin restaurant, will remain there.
The theater was initially a vaudeville house, and in September 1928, its then-owners greatly expanded it to a seating capacity of 1,100 people, according to a newspaper article published on the eve of its opening.
In its heyday, it was operated by the affable Louis “Pop” Stahl, lending it the name Pop’s Palace.
The now-defunct Clearview Cinemas, acquired by Bow Tie Cinemas in April 2013, divided the theater into a twin theater in November 1986 before converting it into a multiplex three years later.

This is Bergenfield’s youngest football team in at least a decade and likely among the youngest in the program’s history.
“This is, by far, the youngest team I’ve ever had,” coach Rob Violante said as he prepares for his 13th season.
The Bears feature a summer roster of more than 40 players, the most in at least five or six years, Violante said. Almost half, though, are sophomores, and several of them are going to start.
“It tells me that I have to have patience, which isn’t always the easiest thing to do,” Violante said. “You have to understand that you’re really dealing with a younger group.”
Bergenfield only has a handful of returning senior starters in a program that is coming off back-to-back 4-6 seasons and plays in the extremely competitive Super Football Conference Patriot Blue Division.
Bergenfield has won five sectional titles since 1974, the first year the NJSIAA introduced sectional playoffs: 1974, 1976, 1982, 1986, and 1987.
Violante has returned the program to respectability and is 56-59 in his first 12 seasons. During the eight seasons prior to his arrival, the Bears were a combined 17-63 and did not win more than four games in a season.
Bergenfield should be OK on offense in its multiple attack. There is experience at the skill positions, with four seniors: Gabe Perez at quarterback, AJ Martinez and Aaron Cruz at receiver, and Francisco Valdez at fullback or tight end.
“[Perez] has got to carry the load,” Violante said, adding, “He has improved throwing the football.”
It’s going to come down to defense, especially a new line, and the development of the sophomores. One name to remember is Lemar Lumsden, expected to start on both lines. He is one of seven or eight sophomores projected to start on offense or defense.
“Starting this many sophomores is a big undertaking for us,” Violante said. “But we’ve got to keep teaching them. They’re showing up every day, they’re working hard, they’re busting their tails.”
STATE OF THE PROGRAM:Inside look at every HS football teams in North Jersey
Bergenfield’s success this season should be measured more by its progress than wins. The Bears have made huge strides since opening summer workouts in June.
“The improvement we’ve made between June and July is monumental,” Violante said. “We’re like a completely different team. It’s just a group that’s constantly improving.”
The program also has been bolstered by the arrival of more than 15 freshmen. If this year’s ninth and 10th graders stay involved, next year’s roster will have more than 30 underclassmen on varsity.
“I am very high on this group of sophomores, because we’re starting so many of them, and the group of freshmen,” Violante said. “I’m excited for the future, because there’s a lot of good, young kids.”

It was a loss — but hardly a defeat — for Bergenfield magician Anna DeGuzman, who blazed a thrilling trail through four months of "America's Got Talent," only to come up just short of votes on Wednesday's season finale to finish in second place.
It was Adrian Stoica with his dog Hurricane, one of the other 11 acts that competed in the finale, who will walk away with the $1 million cash prize and a one-off slot at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas.
But being on "America's Got Talent," she says, is itself a win-win.
"I don't think there is losing," DeGuzman said. "I think I've already won."
Not only is she part of a franchise that has racked up over 3.8 billion video views, and 26 million YouTube subscribers to date, but the contestants have a history of doing well — win or lose.
Magician Shin Lim, a previous AGT winner (and Guzman's idol) parlayed his fame into his own show in Las Vegas. But so did another AGT magician, Piff the Magic Dragon, who didn't win.
That's the magic of television — and DeGuzman has finessed it as neatly as she does the playing cards that she uses to perform astounding tricks of numerology and prognostication.
On Tuesday's decisive performance — the one viewers voted on — she astonished again. She made the Queen of Hearts, chosen randomly by host Terry Crews, appear not only in the sealed envelopes of judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Sofia Vergara, but also in the envelopes of every audience member.
She topped that by lining up the seemingly random cards Crews had chosen — two of hearts, six of diamonds, nine of spades, two of diamonds, three of hearts, 10 of clubs, and 10 of spades — to form the exact date and moment of their broadcast: 26/9/23 at 10:10 p.m. "Check the clock, because it's exactly 10:10, America!" she told the TV audience.
"I wanted to have everybody involved, including the people at home, to make it one of my biggest performances ever," she said.
The real magic of her performance style, she says, is in making something as small and intimate as cards "read" big — for an audience of thousands in a theater, or millions on a broadcast. She's not the kind of magician who makes the Statue of Liberty disappear. Nor does she want to be.
"I specialize in close-up," she said. "That's how I started. Doing street magic for people. Stuff with coins, money. Literally any small object you can think of. I love that kind of magic because it's intimate. I always felt that big stage illusions have a disconnect with the audience. When it's some big unfamiliar object on stage that [the magician] is doing something with, they're suspicious. But when it's an ordinary object that people are familiar with, they can appreciate it."
Certainly, DeGuzman's residency on AGT is a big win for female magicians — underrepresented in the field.
And it's a big win for DeGuzman on a personal level. It's brought her closer to her mother Tess, an emigrant from the Philippines who brought up DeGuzman as an only child in a single-parent household. During the broadcasts, she was shown in the audience.
"This has been very bonding," DeGuzman said. "My mom doesn't really know this world. She's always been a very normal conservative woman. She would never do anything like what I do. She's not a performer. She's not a singer. For her this is so new, being on TV. She's never been on TV in her life. I'm used to being on cameras, on social media. This is the first time I feel she's kind of been brought into my world."
