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. Thankfully, you don't have to settle for the side effects of low testosterone. There are proven, easy steps that you can take to reverse the negative signs of aging.

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 Montclair, 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.

Montclair, NJ – This March, twelve of your favorite Montclair restaurants are celebrating plant based menu options. Humane Montclair, partnering with Planted Societies and Montclair Department of Sustainability, is launching PLANT BASED FOR THE PLANET – a community dining initiative in Montclair taking place throughout the month of March. Participating local chefs have created at least two new dishes to their menu, demonstrating that meals without meat can be delicious and inspired – as well as way to let diners help individually mitigate climate change.
The 12 Montclair restaurants featuring climate-friendly fare in March are:
Marcel Bakery Tino’s Artisan Pizza Mercado Coffee & Cornbread Basil Indian & Thai Grill Le Salbuen Egan & Sons Toast City Diner Laboratorio Kitchen Faubourg World Flats Mesob
The Plant Based for the Planet community dining initiative in Montclair is a challenge for chefs and diners alike, that brings attention to plant based eating and how it can impact our planet. Eating a plant rich diet is the fourth most impactful (and probably the most accessible) climate-change reversing solution, having an impact on lowering water usage, pollution, and our collective carbon footprint.
During March, diners are encouraged to eat often at these Plant Based for the Planet partners and will have a chance to vote for their favorite dishes. Share your favorite climate-friendly meals on social – tag #Montclairplanetchallenge, @plantedsociety, @humanemontclair on Instagram and be entered for prizes, awarded at the end of the challenge. Diners will also vote for their favorite restaurant.
Montclair, NJ – Josh and Judy Weston established the Judy Weston Awards for Inspired Teaching in 1991 to acknowledge and celebrate Montclair Public School teachers who stood out to parents/guardians and students for being creative, talented, and supportive and they were awarded until 2016.
After a short hiatus, Josh Weston is excited to announce the return of the awards in Judy’s honor. “Judy was the heart and soul of these awards,” said Josh Weston. “She understood that great teaching is both an art and a science, and she was passionate about wanting to honor the many talented teachers in our district who exercise their craft so well on behalf of Montclair students.”
The awards now honor Judy’s memory. Judy was a long-time Montclair resident and public school supporter. She was an engaged mother of four Montclair High alums who believed that dedicated and empathetic educators are vital to helping every student achieve their full potential. Judy’s spirit continues to shape these awards; the new title and even the logo (designed by Judy’s granddaughter, Siena Weston Delaney) are a nod to her belief that the real measure of teacher excellence is inspired – and inspiring – teaching practices.
All parents/guardians of current Montclair Public School students and current MPS students themselves are encouraged to nominate teachers. Nominations can be written or submitted as an audio or video recording. Students can submit photos of their written nomination as well. The awards are being administered by the Montclair Fund for Educational Excellence (MFEE), and nominations are being accepted at mfee.org.
“When Josh came to MFEE with the idea of bringing back the awards, we were delighted,” said Masiel Rodriquez-Vars, executive director of MFEE. “Teachers are the single most important school-based driver of student success, so celebrating and supporting teachers is key to supporting students. We are excited to work alongside the Westons to meaningfully highlight the amazing teachers in our Montclair schools and to honor them for impactfully carrying out one of the toughest and most vital roles in our society.”
So, what is “Inspired Teaching”? The awards will honor both master teachers and those who are on their way to achieving that status. Inspired teaching combines a range of skills across several core areas: teaching that facilitates impactful learning experiences, teaching that supports all students, and teaching that creates a caring classroom culture. Personal stories that show how this teacher excels and makes an impact are encouraged. Sixteen teachers across Montclair Public Schools will be selected to receive individual cash awards of $2000, including one award designated specifically for a special education teacher. The deadline for all nominations is April 16, 2023.
“Many thanks to Josh Weston for recognizing that nothing is more important to the success of our students than the quality of their teachers,” said Schools Superintendent Jonathan Ponds. “We are very fortunate in Montclair to have dedicated and amazing teachers and I’m grateful that the Judy Weston Award — whose past honorees include some of our current principals — is back to honor educators who have changed students’ lives.”
Once the nominating period closes, the selection committee will read all of the nominations (without names associated). The committee will pick at least one teacher from each school to receive an award (two awards will go to the high school). In addition, one award will be set aside for a special education teacher, regardless of their school(s). There are three “at-large” awards that can be given to teachers at any of Montclair’s 11 public schools. The selection committee will be composed of 12 members, a combination of education professionals and community leaders.
The awardees will be notified at the end of April, and they will be presented with their awards on June 1st at 6pm in a public ceremony hosted by the Montclair Public Schools.
“We know that 16 teachers will be honored, but we also plan to use this as a chance to highlight each and every amazing teacher who is nominated,” said Rodriquez-Vars. “We want to share the list of all educators who are nominated publicly, as well as share with the nominees some of the amazing stories we hear about the work they are doing. We are excited to shine a light on the fact that Montclair truly has some of the best teachers out there.”

The Montclair Township Council, yielding to an intensely angry group of mostly female residents, voted on Tuesday to start the termination process for Township Manager Timothy Stafford, the subject of two lawsuits and two sworn statements by female municipal employees alleging abuse.
The 5-0 vote was an abrupt reversal of the 5-1 vote in October to put him on paid leave, despite calls by the public then for his removal. In recent days, it seemed the council was, in fact, poised to reinstate him.
The vote came after two hours of impassioned public comment punctuated by jeers, shouts of “Me Too” and “Recall the mayor,” and signs held aloft accusing the council of misogyny.
During a break, a petition circulated to recall Mayor Sean Spiller.
The vast majority of those who spoke were women, many of whom said they were in disbelief that the town leadership would be thinking of reinstating a man who was accused of abuse by multiple female employees.
“I’m so appalled and shocked that you would reinstate Tim Stafford,” said Obie Miranda-Woodley. “What kind of dirt does he have on you? Who are you indebted to that you would go against this town’s values? I really don’t know how you sleep at night. You should be protecting women who work for this town. Shame on you.”
“Ousting him should be the easiest decision you have to make as councilors,” said Lauren Berman. “He’s an at-will employee who can be terminated for any or no reason." Also, she said, he is no good at his job.
The motion to start the process to terminate Stafford, which under the Faulkner Act regulating Montclair’s form of government will involve giving him a hearing, was put forward by Peter Yacobellis and seconded by Bob Russo.
Both have been outspoken in publicly pushing for Stafford’s ouster, despite warnings by Township Attorney Paul Burr that the matter could not be discussed openly by council members because of legal liability.
Mariana Horta thanked the women who filed legal actions against Stafford. “Rao, Lee, Trembulak, York — you did not have to do this. [You] had much to lose and very little to gain.”
Then she focused on Padmaja Rao, the town CFO who filed suit against Stafford and the town in October, after her complaints and a report by the affirmative action officer were suppressed. In January, she made a motion to add allegations of retaliation against Spiller to her suit. Rao continues to work as the township's CFO.
“Ms. Rao, I love you. I appreciate you. I admire you. You have the courage that the mayor lacks. You have the leadership that the mayor lacks,” Horta said.
She and others questioned the relationship between Stafford and the Fire Department. Several of the abusive incidents by Stafford that Rao alleged in her lawsuit occurred when she spoke up about possibly illegal activities by members of the Fire Department. One involves a discrimination suit by two Black firefighters alleging that Fire Chief John Herrmann rewrote the promotional exam to favor his son on Stafford’s watch.

“What is the relationship between the manager and the fire chief?” she asked, calling for Herrmann's removal. "These white guys from Cedar Grove run this show for their benefit and we are paying for the party.”
Mary Birmingham also questioned the relationship between Stafford and the fire chief. "Herrmann manipulated the fire exam to give his son an unfair advantage with the blessing of Tim Stafford, knowing that Montclair taxpayers would be sued. It’s the definition of corruption,” she said.
She cited the “incredible” bravery of Juliet Lee, former acting town clerk, and Katie York, former director of senior services, and read portions of their their suits, which she said she found “sickening.” One incident she described was from Lee’s suit in which she describes being “traumatized” when Stafford allegedly told her to get her wastebasket and go through it while other town officials watched.
She also read from the sworn statement of Celia Trembulak, former health official, who said she was “never treated with such disrespect and inhumanity. The council members said nothing. I felt humiliated again and began to cry. I stated to him, ‘You have broken me,’ but Stafford kept screaming at me as I wept.'”
“Do you not believe these sworn-under-oath statements from these women or do you simply think that behavior is acceptable?” Birmingham said. “Because it’s one or the other.”
York’s name came up often. A bevy of purple-attired seniors marched to the podium to lament that her treatment by Stafford caused York, who has a doctorate in gerontology and was beloved among the seniors, to leave her post, putting senior services in disarray.
June Raegner called the council to task for not taking action on Stafford since the first lawsuit was filed in October, or after the second lawsuit and two more statements accused Stafford of abuse.
“The most important job you guys are supposed to be doing is supervising the town manger, and you blew it,” she said. “You’ve been ignoring the [affirmative action officer’s] reports, you’ve been ignoring lawsuits, you’ve been harming the town in a million different ways ‘til Sunday.”
After he gets his due process under the Faulkner Act, she said, "Get him the hell out."

MONTCLAIR, NJ — The following news release comes courtesy of the Montclair Public Library. Find out how to post announcements or events to your local Patch site.
In conjunction with Out Montclair, the Montclair Public Library will host a virtual “Romance is for Everyone” panel on Monday, March 13 at 7 p.m.
Romance writers Roan Parrish and Timothy Janovsky and moderator Hannah Walker will have a discussion about “everyone's happily ever after” and how LGBTQIA+ books are making a splash in the romance book world.
Timothy Janovsky, author of Never Been Kissed, is a queer, multidisciplinary storyteller from New Jersey. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Muhlenberg College and a self-appointed certificate in “rom-com studies.” When he’s not daydreaming about young Hugh Grant, he’s telling jokes, playing characters, and writing books.
Roan Parrish , author of The Holiday Trap, is gradually attempting to write love stories in every genre. When not writing, she can usually be found cutting her friends’ hair, meandering through whatever city she’s in while listening to torch songs and melodic death metal, or cooking overly elaborate meals. She loves bonfires, winter beaches, minor chord harmonies, and self-tattooing.
Montclair native Hannah Walker is a writer, columnist, and professional theater arts marketer based in Asbury Park. When she isn't indulging her para-social relationship with William Shakespeare, she is unironically watching the Hallmark Channel and enjoying year-round "beach reads."
Register for this free program here.
“We are so happy to bring these romance writers together to talk about the inclusivity and remarkable growth of this often-underrated, but especially beloved genre,” said Kristen Comeaux, manager of the Bellevue Avenue Branch. “We are excited to collaborate on this with Out Montclair.”
Copies of Roan Parrish’s and Timothy Janovsky’s books are available at Watchung Booksellers.
