It can be hard to hear for some, but getting older is just part of life. For many men, hitting a certain age signifies the beginning of a new chapter - where bucket list items are crossed off, and goals are accomplished. For others, however, aging is a scary prospect, filled with nagging injuries, embarrassing weight gain, and inability to perform intimately. Few things feel worse than realizing that you simply can't perform as you used to, whether on the basketball court or in the bedroom.
The reality is, as men get older and approach middle age, their testosterone levels drop. When a male's testosterone levels get lower, it can cause a slew of unwanted symptoms like:
If you have noticed any of the above symptoms and feel like you're just dragging yourself through life, don't lose hope. Many men around the country are experiencing the same feelings as you.

testosterone levels. Unfortunately, when a man loses too much testosterone, it results in a condition called hypogonadism. Also called "Low T," testosterone loss due to hypogonadism must be replenished, or the male suffers from difficult, even debilitating symptoms.
We Work With
What pops up in your head when you think about testosterone? Many people associate testosterone with being overly aggressive, macho, and violent. However, the truth is that testosterone is a critical hormone for men and affects the male lifespan from puberty through old age. As a sex hormone, male testosterone is produced through the testicles. It becomes most prevalent during puberty.
Testosterone production is controlled by the pituitary gland at the base of a man's brain. This gland sends signals to the testes, which in turn produce testosterone. A feedback loop helps regulate the amount of testosterone in the blood. When levels are too high, the brain orders the pituitary gland to restrict production.
Cholesterol synthesizes the testosterone in your body. However, having high cholesterol doesn't mean you have high testosterone levels, too. T levels are too carefully controlled by your pituitary gland for cholesterol to raise testosterone levels.
During puberty, testosterone helps males develop:
Testosterone replacement is exactly what its name implies. It's a therapy for men that replaces diminished testosterone levels, which helps balance your hormones and ultimately improves your life. Also called androgen replacement therapy, TRT alleviates many of the side effects that men suffer from as a result of low testosterone.
Testosterone was originally synthesized in a lab in 1935. Its popularity has grown since, and today, it is among the most promising doctor-prescribed treatments for men in the United States.
So, how does testosterone replacement therapy work? TRT essentially gives you the testosterone needed to be healthy and have a properly functioning body. As the primary androgen for males, testosterone has a role in the natural processes your body needs for overall health. This extra hormonal intake positively affects patients and their general health, preventing diseases such as osteoporosis, cardiac diseases, and more.
Though there is an abundance of testosterone in your system throughout puberty and into your 20s, it gradually depletes with age. Sometimes, serious injuries and long-term conditions like diabetes affect testosterone levels. Unfortunately, when a man loses too much testosterone, it results in a condition called hypogonadism. Also called "Low T," testosterone loss due to hypogonadism must be replenished, or the male suffers from difficult, even debilitating symptoms.
Though some symptoms of low T are abundantly evident, not all men can immediately tell they may need TRT. If you're unsure, ask yourself these questions:
If you answered yes to any of those questions, it could be time to contact Juventee about a personalized TRT plan. Still unsure if you're experiencing symptoms of low T? We have compiled a more extensive list of signs below:
Low energy used to be considered a normal part of aging. Today, most doctors know better. Modern advances in medicine show that lack of energy and low T often go hand-in-hand.
If it's a huge struggle to keep up with your kids on the soccer field, or you just don't have the energy to be active, you may have low testosterone. Getting tired is normal, but if it's an ongoing problem affecting you and your family, it's time to consult a doctor.
Whether you're having a tough time getting through your day or can't finish normal activities, TRT in Hackensack, NJ could be the solution.
You would think that lowered libido would be easy to pick up on, but when it happens gradually, it can be more difficult to diagnose. With that said, many men use TRT because they've lost that "spark" in the bedroom. It's not easy for a man to hear that they're not pleasing their partner because intimacy is an important part of a relationship.
The good news? Having a low libido doesn't have to be permanent. TRT treatments can help revert hormone levels to their normal range, making for a more enjoyable sex life.
If you're like millions of other men, hair loss is an unfortunate reality you don't want to think about. Closely related to hormone imbalances and testosterone decline, hair loss is about as distressing as it gets. This common symptom is often related to DHT - a derivative of testosterone that can cause hair follicles to die.
Thankfully, a carefully monitored TRT regimen can help restore hair, especially when combined with methods like plasma-rich therapy. While it's true that you can't change your genes, you can change the effects of low testosterone in your body, so hair loss isn't your only reality.
Weak erections - it's an uncomfortable subject for men to talk about. It's even worse to experience the symptom in the heat of the moment. Despite being very common, men shame themselves when they can't achieve an erection. And while there are many reasons for this malady, low testosterone is often a contributing factor.
Fortunately, you don't have to live with weak erections forever when you balance your hormones with a personalized TRT treatment plan from Juventee.
You're feeling down about everything and can't figure out why you feel crummy about life. You're successful at work but feel unaccomplished. If you're experiencing symptoms like these, you may be depressed - and it could be stemming from low testosterone.
Studies show that men with depression and high cortisol levels also commonly have low testosterone. Because higher cortisol levels can lead to low T, the chances of severe depression increase.
Depression is a very real disorder and should always be diagnosed and treated by your doctor. One treatment option, when used in conjunction with therapy, is TRT. When TRT is used to replenish hormone levels, men enjoy a lighter, more optimistic mood. That's great news for depressed men who have had little-to-no success with powerful anti-depression meds.
Experts have found that men who lose a week's worth of sleep may experience a drop in testosterone by as much as 15%. These findings are alarming and may suggest that sleep loss lowers T levels and affects wellbeing.
If you find yourself exhausted at the end of the day but toss and turn all night long, it could be time to have your testosterone levels checked. TRT may restore your testosterone levels which can help you sleep better with proper exercise and diet.
Are you struggling to lift weights in the gym or find that you can't pick up items that used to be easy to lift? Studies show that inactive men can lose .5% of muscle strength each year after the age of 25. When you hit 60, muscle loss doubles every ten years. While muscle loss is common with age, it can also be linked to low T.
Testosterone is a crucial piece needed for building and retaining muscle mass. That's why many doctors are prescribing TRT for males experiencing sharp declines in strength and muscle mass. Whether your workouts are losing steam or you're having problems lifting items that aren't very heavy, don't blame it all on age. You could be suffering from hypogonadism.
Nobody likes to gain weight, even though our society is more accepting of overweight people than ever before. Despite diets and carb cutting, many men aren't able to get rid of excess belly and body fat, increasing the chances of heart disease and cancer.
Sometimes, male weight gain isn't caused by sweets and carbs but by hormone imbalances that slow the metabolism. This phase of life is called andropause and occurs when testosterone levels are low. Combining a low metabolism with other symptoms like high cortisol levels can be a recipe for a double-chinned disaster. Fortunately, TRT treatments and physician-led weight loss programs can correct hormone imbalances and lead to healthy weight loss for men.
The enlargement of male breast tissue, also called "man boobs," is a fairly common condition that many men have. Though it is closely associated with diet and other life choices, increased fatty tissue is often caused by hormonal imbalances.
If you're approaching middle age and you're embarrassed by having large breasts, don't lose hope. TRT is a safe, effective way to eliminate the underlying cause of gynecomastia without invasive surgery. With a custom HRT and fitness program, you can bring your testosterone and estrogen levels back to normal before you know it.
The human body is amazing in so many ways. Still, we have to optimize it every now and then using science, medicine, and hard work. After 40, you may notice that your body is changing, but symptoms like low libido and lack of motivation don't have to be permanent.

The American Heart Association has recognized eight Hackensack Meridian Health hospitals with Get With The Guidelines® - Heart Failure quality achievement awards for their teams’ commitment to improving outcomes for patients with heart failure, resulting in reduced readmissions and more healthy days at home. The Hackensack Meridian hospitals that received awards include the following.
About 6 million U.S. adults are living with heart failure (HF), a number that is expected to increase to more than 8 million by 2030. Despite the name, HF doesn’t mean that the heart has stopped working – it means the heart is having a hard time pumping blood and oxygen throughout the body. While there’s no cure for HF, patients can live a quality life by working with their health care team to create and stick with a plan that may include medication, symptom monitoring and lifestyle changes.
The Get With The Guidelines - Heart Failure quality achievement award is earned by hospitals that demonstrate a commitment to treating patients according to the most up-to-date guidelines as outlined by the American Heart Association. Get With The Guidelines puts the expertise of the American Heart Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest research- and evidence-based guidelines. The program aims to increase healthy days at home and reduce hospital readmissions for heart failure patients.
Each year, program participants qualify for the award recognition by demonstrating how their organization has committed to providing quality care for HF patients. In addition to following treatment guidelines, Get With The Guidelines participants also provide education to patients to help them manage their HF at home.
“Hackensack Meridian Health is committed to improving patient care by adhering to the latest treatment guidelines,” said Elizabeth A. Maiorana, MBA, MSN, R.N., CCCC, vice president, Cardiovascular Care Transformation Services, Hackensack Meridian Health. “Get With The Guidelines makes it easier for our teams to put proven knowledge and guidelines to work on a daily basis, which studies show can help patients recover better. The end goal is to ensure more people in New Jersey experience longer, healthier lives.”
The American Heart Association’s recognition levels recognize the goal of treating patients with 85 percent or higher compliance to core standards of care outlined by the AHA over increasing lengths of time, culminating in two consecutive calendar years for Gold Plus. Hospitals receiving the Target: Heart Failure Honor Roll are required to meet specific criteria that improves medication adherence, provides early follow-up care and coordination and enhances patient education. The goal is to further reduce hospital readmissions and help patients improve their quality of life in managing this chronic condition. Hospitals receiving Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll, demonstrate that patients with Type 2 diabetes, who might be at higher risk for complications, receive the most up-to-date, evidence-based care when hospitalized due to heart disease.
Ocean University Medical Center, JFK University Medical Center, Riverview Medical Center and Palisades Medical Center received Gold Plus Awards with Target: Heart Failure Honor Roll and Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll. Bayshore Medical Center received the Gold Plus Award with Target: Heart Failure Honor Roll. Jersey Shore University Medical Center and Southern Ocean Medical Center received Gold Plus Awards.
Hackensack University Medical Center received the Silver Award with Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll. “While Hackensack University Medical Center is one of New Jersey’s premier cardiovascular care providers, we are always looking to enhance our services,” said cardiologist Kanika Mody, M.D., medical director, Surgical VAD (ventricular assist device) Program, Hackensack University Medical Center. “We adopted the AHA’s Get With The Guidelines for heart failure in January 2022 to advance our treatment processes even further. Our team has found them extremely helpful in continuing to provide the best care for our patients.”

Renovation and expansion work is continuing on 44-54 Ninth Avenue, an eight-story office and retail building at the confluence of Chelsea, the Meatpacking District, and the West Village. Designed by BKSK Architects for Tavros Capital, the project involves the restoration of a row of a landmarked townhomes and the construction of a new office structure above. Broadway Construction is the general contractor for the property, which is alternately addressed as 351-355 West 14th Street and located at the intersection of West 14th Street and Ninth Avenue.
Much of the building was covered with scaffolding and construction netting at the time of our last update in mid April. Since then, the upper portion of the scaffolding has been partially dismantled, revealing the glass curtain wall of the new office volume. Work has yet to commence on the installation of the bronze-hued metal grid over the façade, but could begin in the coming weeks.
We can also see more of the hand-laid red brick envelope on the renovated low-rise townhomes, which have more metal decking covering their sloped roof lines.
The rendering previews the scope of the renovation to the townhomes that line West 14th Street and Broadway. The pitched roofs will have an array of short chimneys and feature a new lining of black asphalt shingles. Retail frontage at ground level offers a contrasting dark appearance against the red brick masonry walls. The westernmost section of the structure will have balconettes and pairs of shutters on both the second and third floors, which will be reserved for new office space. Retail space would occupy both the ground and cellar levels.
The following diagram looks at the backside of the townhomes and their individual components that are either rebuilt, preserved, or brand new.
YIMBY anticipates 44-54 Ninth Avenue to finish construction by early 2024.

HACKENSACK — City officials have reached a deal with Hackensack University Medical Center that will bring the city more than $24 million over the next six years as a contribution for municipal services the nonprofit hospital uses.
The agreement is an extension of an agreement struck five years ago, which was set to expire at the end of this year.
Under the deal, the hospital will pay the city $4 million a year in community host fees, $600,000 in payments for air rights above Second Street, and another $40,000 in parking charges. The pact supersedes existing agreements between the hospital and city, and the parties can renegotiate the terms in 2029.
“With this new host agreement, we continue to build on the foundation of a transformative partnership between Hackensack and HUMC,” Deputy Mayor Kathy Canestrino said in a statement. “This agreement signifies our shared vision and unwavering dedication to the health and well-being of our residents and solidifies Hackensack as a center of excellence in medical care.”
Because Hackensack University Medical Center is a nonprofit institution, many of its properties are not subject to property taxes that commercial entities must pay.
The hospital owns 11 tax-exempt properties and another 10 taxable properties in Hackensack. The payment will serve as a contribution for public safety and other municipal services that are used by the hospital.
“Hackensack University Medical Center’s latest investment in the city of Hackensack further deepens our commitment to this community that we’ve been proud to serve since 1888," said Mary Jo Layton, a spokeswoman for Hackensack Meridian Health, which owns HUMC.
"As the largest employer in the county and one of the largest in the state, Hackensack Meridian Health is key to the city’s economy,” she said. “More importantly, we have an unwavering commitment to our patients today and for generations to come to continue providing high-quality innovative care that is recognized nationally and globally."
Since 2015, when a landmark tax court decision against Morristown Medical Center opened the door for municipalities to question nonprofit hospitals’ tax-exempt status, many local governments have pushed successfully for hospitals to pay a contribution for the services they use.

The judge in that case ruled the hospital operated more like a for-profit corporation than a nonprofit. The hospital later agreed to pay Morristown $15.5 million for 10 years of taxes and interest, and additional taxes on space leased to restaurants, shops and private doctors.
Hackensack "is fortunate to have developed this partnership and this great relationship with the medical center that brings 8,000 to 9,000 employees to the city each day,” Canestrino said before the City Council’s vote to approve the agreement April 25. “We’re fortunate to have a hospital of that magnitude and level of excellence in our backyard.”
The agreement “recognizes the city provides a base of operation and many public services and we deserve to be fairly compensated for that,” said Steven Kleinman, the city attorney.
Mayor John Labrosse works at the hospital as a safety specialist. He did not participate in any negotiations and abstained from the vote, city officials said.
