HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY for Women estrogen
 HRT For Men Basking Ridge, NJ

What Causes Menopause?

The most common reason for menopause is the natural decline in a female's reproductive hormones. However, menopause can also result from the following situations:

Oophorectomy: This surgery, which removes a woman's ovaries, causes immediate menopause. Symptoms and signs of menopause in this situation can be severe, as the hormonal changes happen abruptly.

Chemotherapy: Cancer treatments like chemotherapy can induce menopause quickly, causing symptoms to appear shortly after or even during treatment.

Ovarian Insufficiency: Also called premature ovarian failure, this condition is essentially premature menopause. It happens when a woman's ovaries quit functioning before the age of 40 and can stem from genetic factors and disease. Only 1% of women suffer from premature menopause, but HRT can help protect the heart, brain, and bones.

Depression

If you're a woman going through menopause and find that you have become increasingly depressed, you're not alone. It's estimated that 15% of women experience depression to some degree while going through menopause. What many women don't know is that depression can start during perimenopause, or the years leading up to menopause.

Depression can be hard to diagnose, especially during perimenopause and menopause. However, if you notice the following signs, it might be time to speak with a physician:

  • Mood Swings
  • Inappropriate Guilt
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Too Much or Too Little Sleep
  • Lack of Interest in Life
  • Overwhelming Feelings

Remember, if you're experiencing depression, you're not weak or broken - you're going through a very regular emotional experience. The good news is that with proper treatment from your doctor, depression isn't a death sentence. And with HRT and anti-aging treatment for women, depression could be the catalyst you need to enjoy a new lease on life.

Hot Flashes

Hot flashes - they're one of the most well-known symptoms of menopause. Hot flashes are intense, sudden feelings of heat across a woman's upper body. Some last second, while others last minutes, making them incredibly inconvenient and uncomfortable for most women.

Symptoms of hot flashes include:

  • Sudden, Overwhelming Feeling of Heat
  • Anxiety
  • High Heart Rate
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness

Typically, hot flashes are caused by a lack of estrogen. Low estrogen levels negatively affect a woman's hypothalamus, the part of the brain that controls body temperature and appetite. Low estrogen levels cause the hypothalamus to incorrectly assume the body is too hot, dilating blood vessels to increase blood flow. Luckily, most women don't have to settle for the uncomfortable feelings that hot flashes cause. HRT treatments for women often stabilize hormones, lessening the effects of hot flashes and menopause in general.

Mood Swings

Mood swings are common occurrences for most people - quick shifts from happy to angry and back again, triggered by a specific event. And while many people experience mood swings, they are particularly common for women going through menopause. That's because, during menopause, the female's hormones are often imbalanced. Hormone imbalances and mood swings go hand-in-hand, resulting in frequent mood changes and even symptoms like insomnia.

The rate of production of estrogen, a hormone that fluctuates during menopause, largely determines the rate of production the hormone serotonin, which regulates mood, causing mood swings.

Luckily, HRT and anti-aging treatments in Basking Ridge, NJ for women work wonders for mood swings by regulating hormone levels like estrogen. With normal hormone levels, women around the world are now learning that they don't have to settle for mood swings during menopause.

Weight Gain

Staying fit and healthy is hard for anyone living in modern America. However, for women with hormone imbalances during perimenopause or menopause, weight gain is even more serious. Luckily, HRT treatments for women coupled with a physician-led diet can help keep weight in check. But which hormones need to be regulated?

  • Estrogen: During menopause, estrogen levels are depleted. As such, the body must search for other sources of estrogen. Because estrogen is stored in fat, your body believes it should increase fat production during menopause. Estrogen also plays a big part in insulin resistance, which can make it even harder to lose weight and keep it off.
  • Progesterone: Progesterone levels are also depleted during menopause. Progesterone depletion causes bloating and water retention, while loss of testosterone limits the body's ability to burn calories.
  • Ongoing Stress: Stress makes our bodies think that food is hard to come by, putting our bodies in "survival mode". When this happens, cortisol production is altered. When cortisol timing changes, the energy in the bloodstream is diverted toward making fat. With chronic stress, this process repeatedly happens, causing extensive weight gain during menopause.

Low Libido

Lowered sexual desire - three words most men and women hate to hear. Unfortunately, for many women in perimenopausal and menopausal states, it's just a reality of life. Thankfully, today, HRT and anti-aging treatments Basking Ridge, NJ can help women maintain a normal, healthy sex drive. But what causes low libido in women, especially as they get older?

The hormones responsible for low libido in women are progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone.

Progesterone production decreases during perimenopause, causing low sex drive in women. Lower progesterone production can also cause chronic fatigue, weight gain, and other symptoms. On the other hand, lower estrogen levels during menopause lead to vaginal dryness and even vaginal atrophy or loss of muscle tension.

Lastly, testosterone plays a role in lowered libido. And while testosterone is often grouped as a male hormone, it contributes to important health and regulatory functionality in women. A woman's testosterone serves to heighten sexual responses and enhances orgasms. When the ovaries are unable to produce sufficient levels of testosterone, it often results in a lowered sex drive.

Vaginal Dryness

Often uncomfortable and even painful, vaginal dryness is a serious problem for sexually active women. However, like hair loss in males, vaginal dryness is very common - almost 50% of women suffer from it during menopause.

Getting older is just a part of life, but that doesn't mean you have to settle for the side effects. HRT and anti-aging treatments for women correct vaginal dryness by re-balancing estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. When supplemented with diet and healthy living, your vagina's secretions are normalized, causing discomfort to recede.

Fibroids

Uterine fibroids - they're perhaps the least-known symptom of menopause and hormone imbalances in women. That's because these growths on the uterus are often symptom-free. Unfortunately, these growths can be cancerous, presenting a danger for women as they age.

Many women will have fibroids at some point. Because they're symptomless, they're usually found during routine doctor exams. Some women only get one or two, while others may have large clusters of fibroids. Because fibroids are usually caused by hormone imbalances, hysterectomies have been used as a solution, forcing women into early menopause.

Advances in HRT and anti-aging medicine for women give females a safer, non-surgical option without having to experience menopause early. At Global Life Rejuvenation, our expert physicians will implement a customized HRT program to stabilize your hormones and reduce the risk of cancerous fibroid growth.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis symptoms are much like the effects of PMS, and include pelvic pain, fatigue, cramping, and bloating. While doctors aren't entirely sure what causes this painful, uncomfortable condition, most agree that hormones - particularly xenoestrogens - play a factor.

Endometriosis symptoms are much like the effects of PMS and include pelvic pain, fatigue, cramping, and bloating. While doctors aren't entirely sure what causes this painful, uncomfortable condition, most agree that hormones - particularly xenoestrogens - play a factor.

Xenoestrogen is a hormone that is very similar to estrogen. Too much xenoestrogen is thought to stimulate endometrial tissue growth. HRT for women helps balance these hormones and, when used with a custom nutrition program, can provide relief for women across the U.S.

 Sermorelin Basking Ridge, NJ

What is Sermorelin?

Sermorelin is a synthetic hormone peptide, like GHRH, which triggers the release of growth hormones. When used under the care of a qualified physician, Sermorelin can help you lose weight, increase your energy levels, and help you feel much younger.

 HRT Basking Ridge, NJ

Benefits of Sermorelin

Human growth hormone (HGH) therapy has been used for years to treat hormone deficiencies. Unlike HGH, which directly replaces declining human growth hormone levels, Sermorelin addresses the underlying cause of decreased HGH, stimulating the pituitary gland naturally. This approach keeps the mechanisms of growth hormone production active.

  • Benefits of Sermorelin include:
  • Better Immune Function
  • Improved Physical Performance
  • More Growth Hormone Production
  • Less Body Fat
  • Build More Lean Muscle
  • Better Sleep

What is Ipamorelin?

Ipamorelin helps to release growth hormones in a person's body by mimicking a peptide called ghrelin. Ghrelin is one of three hormones which work together to regulate the growth hormone levels released by the pituitary gland. Because Ipamorelin stimulates the body to produce growth hormone, your body won't stop its natural growth hormone production, which occurs with synthetic HGH.

Ipamorelin causes growth hormone secretion that resembles natural release patterns rather than being constantly elevated from HGH. Because ipamorelin stimulates the natural production of growth hormone, our patients can use this treatment long-term with fewer health risks.

Hormone Replacement Therapy Basking Ridge, NJ

Benefits of Ipamorelin

One of the biggest benefits of Ipamorelin is that it provides significant short and long-term benefits in age management therapies. Ipamorelin can boost a patient's overall health, wellbeing, and outlook on life.

When there is an increased concentration of growth hormone by the pituitary gland, there are positive benefits to the body. Some benefits include:

  • Powerful Anti-Aging Properties
  • More Muscle Mass
  • Less Unsightly Body Fat
  • Deep, Restful Sleep
  • Increased Athletic Performance
  • More Energy
  • Less Recovery Time for Training Sessions and Injuries
  • Enhanced Overall Wellness and Health
  • No Significant Increase in Cortisol

While the final Bernards School Budget for 2023-24 was passed on Monday, the long-term future of assistant principals remains uncertain.

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — The 11 Assistant Principal positions will remain in Bernards Township for now as the Board of Education finalized its budget for the 2023-24 school year. However, the long-term status of those positions remains uncertain.

The $114,886,211 budget with a 0 percent tax increase for residents was passed on Monday night during the BOE meeting with the exception of Vice President Nimish Amin and Csilla Csipak voting against it.

The budget did include funding for all of the 11 assistant principal positions. However, one of the open positions at William Annin Middle School will be merged with the Middle School Athletic Director position to save some money.

Find out what's happening in Basking Ridgewith free, real-time updates from Patch.

Superintendent Nick Markarian noted the merge would create "a significant savings probably of $150,000 to be responsive to the board's request on how we can save some money."

Amin asked Markarian if the Board was "locked in" to keeping the positions an alluded to possibly revisiting the number of teachers or admin positions later in the year.

Board member Robin McKeon asked that the Board be "straightforward" about its intentions after the budget.

"When I hear no cuts to programs and services that means we are not going to take something out of the budget like assistant principals which are in the budget. Or we are not going to make a change and say, 'Oh we don't need as many teachers and increase class sizes' because to me that is changing programs and services," said McKeon.

"I'm having a problem with you suggesting we are going to make different choices mid-year than what we are saying we are doing tonight," continued McKeon.

Amin claimed McKeon was being "very disingenuous" by attaching personnel to programs and services.

"You have the number of personnel that's needed to do the work of educating our students and it depends on enrollment. To say programs and services equals personnel - I've looked it up in the dictionary. I've never seen personnel next to programs and services," said Amin.

Board President Keith Molinari said he agreed with Markarian's assessment to fill the open Assistant Principal position for the year.

"Next year when we see where enrollment is and where our data is then we will take another look. And going forward there is no guarantee that we will have this administrative structure," said Molinari.

During public comment, Tom Thorp - President of the Bernards Township Administration Association and Assistant Principal in the district - asked that his group of administrators be part of future talks.

"I really hope you will consider bringing us to that forum and... consider having conversations with some of us so we can shed some light into our profession," said Thorp.

Resident Joan Bannon questioned the Board on the reasons behind possibly removing the Assistant Principals in the future.

"I haven’t heard any articulated reason from those opposed to this administrative position aside from declining enrollment… if you are seriously considering maintaining teachers then give them the support of administrators who daily attend to student issues so teachers can teach our kids," said Bannon.

Resident John Pettit had a counterargument and said he appreciated the "fiscal conservative approach" of the Board and the "cost-benefit analysis of each dollar spent."

"At the end of the day it's the taxpayers who are paying for everything," said Pettit.

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — A proposal to demolish an existing office building and build two new buildings for light industrial/manufacturing and office space in Bernards Township raised concerns of truck traffic.

The application by Signature Acquisitions for the 28.256 acres property at 150 Allen Road was heard at the Jan. 4 Bernards Township Board of Adjustment meeting.

Robert Moschello, an engineer who was speaking for the applicant, broke down the plan to demolish the existing 174,546-square-foot office building with roughly 855 parking spaces.

Find out what's happening in Basking Ridgewith free, real-time updates from Patch.

The proposal is also looking to build two new buildings: Building A which consists of 97,185 square feet of light-industrial/manufacturing space and 30,792 square feet of office space. Building B consists of 101,792 square feet of light-industrial/manufacturing space and 28,759 square feet of office space.

There would also be 24 trailer loading spaces proposed, 105 existing parking spaces will remain, 88 spaces will be located under Building A and 89 spaces will be located under Building B.

Find out what's happening in Basking Ridgewith free, real-time updates from Patch.

"The proposed light manufacturing use of the buildings will be consistent with the Township's permitted uses in the E-2 Zone and will consist of activity which involves the assembly of products from previously prepared materials and will not involve the synthesis of chemicals or the processing of raw materials," according to the application.

The meeting lasted around three and a half hours and concluded Moschello's testimony.

Zoning Board member Lisamarie Baumann said she was "very concerned about truck turning movements from Allen Road to Martinsville road."

"It may very well be there is no issue but I want to be sure that trucks turning from Allen Road onto Martinsville Road are not going to go into the left turning lane that's turning onto Martinsville Road," said Baumann.

Board member Karl Kraus echoed Baumann's concerns saying he has lived in the Hills section of the township for more than 10 years and has never seen any trucks pass through the area.

"It is a HUGE concern for all the residences," said Kraus, who estimated there are 5,000 homes in the Hills.

The applicant still has four more witnesses to speak. Upcoming speakers will be an architect, the applicant, a traffic engineer, and a planner. All of the testimony along with public questions to the witnesses must be heard before the public testimony can begin.

The applicant's attorney, Jeffrey Lehrer, estimated testimony would take at least another full meeting.

The application will be carried to the Feb. 8 Board of Adjustment meeting at 7:30 p.m.

How Can the BernardsBOE Function More Effectively?

At the April 24th Bernards Township BOE meeting, the Board voted not to approve the proposed sociology textbook “The Real World: An Introduction to Sociology”( Eighth Edition) by Kerry Ferris and Jill Smith. The result is that the students of this course next year do not yet have a textbook meeting the requirements that it be accessible to all learners, including struggling learners. Struggling learners may be denied an opportunity to improve their reading and critical thinking skills.

This was a historic event as textbook issues are typically resolved in committee discussions prior to the board meeting, resulting in approval votes at the board meeting. Fortunately, the board president Mr. Molinari asked each board member to explain their vote. Since the whole meeting including the explanations is available for viewing on the Bernards Township Board of Education Video Channel on YouTube, one can go back and reflect on the explanations.

This was yet another indication that this board is not functioning effectively. For example, one of the board members has experience teaching sociology at a college level and has experience with many different sociology textbooks. The dissenting board members did not seem to acknowledge or factor her understanding into their decision. As another example, several of the board members who did read the proposed textbook appeared to ignore the response of the teachers and the excellent response of the student representative to their list of issues.

We want a board that is functioning effectively focused on the students, maintaining the trust of the teachers by providing them with the freedom to teach, maintaining the trust of the students so they feel free to learn, maintaining the trust of the parents and the community, and maintaining the reputation of Basking Ridge as a town with an excellent, thoughtfully managed school system.

To justify the textbook approval process, the board president Mr. Molinari quoted an answer from the FAQ “What Candidates Want to Know About Being A School Board Member” on the NJ Public School Board Association website: “The board establishes what will be taught, when and where it will be taught, to whom it will be taught, and with what materials.“

However, the same source also says, “Board members should be aware that they are elected to represent the entire district in all matters pertaining to education, and not any one segment.”

Additionally, during the execution of their role board members are required to adhere to the ten-point Code of Ethics for NJ School Board Members. Points three and four are:

“I will confine my board action to policy making, planning, and appraisal, and I will help to frame policies and plans only after the board has consulted those who will be affected by them.” and “I will carry out my responsibility, not to administer the schools, but, together with my fellow board members, to see that they are well run.” Key points are that the board should be working at the policy level, not at the administrative level and should be working collaboratively.

This board does not appear to be representing the entire district, nor does it appear to be working collaboratively or working at the policy level. I recommend that it urgently change course. This starts with trusting, respecting and learning from their fellow board members, the teachers, and the entire community.

School Board Cuts Down Residents' Time To Comment In Basking Ridge

The Board of Education agreed to cut down the first public comment portion on agenda items but not the second during its recent meeting.

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — In an effort to get through agenda items and conduct business quicker the Bernards Township Board of Education voted at its latest meeting to shorten the first public comment section, yet leave the second portion with unlimited time.

The overall lengths of time for the first and second public comment sections were discussed at the latest policy meeting.

Policy Chairperson Robin McKeon said some members wanted to reduce the first comment section from 45 minutes to 30 minutes. Some also suggested limiting the second comment section from unlimited time to 45 minutes. Others disagreed on any limit.

"I personally think that 30 minutes on the first public comment on agenda items is sufficient," said board member Kirsten Light.

Vice President Nimish Amin also agreed with cutting the first section down to 30 minutes since the Board already meets more than other districts in the state.

Find out what's happening in Basking Ridgewith free, real-time updates from Patch.

"We meet twice a month, a lot of school districts don't provide that plus we have a second public comment opportunity limiting that to 45 minutes. It allows everybody to get through their items, everybody can still email the board, contact the board, and have a discussion with us," said Amin.

"For me, the main idea is to not necessarily have repetitive comments but to give ideas and we're more than open to listening. There is different avenues of doing that and having two opportunities per month plus two sessions each meeting to have 30 and 45-minutes seems likea good balance," said Amin.

President Keith Molinari noted that the Board's recent policy change to publish the committee meeting minutes sooner should help the public.

"I think what we are trying to do with the minutes by publishing the minutes is I hope better inform the first public comment section. So the public will be prepared about what the discussion items will be and 30 minutes should be sufficient with that," said Molinari.

Board member Jennifer White was not in favor of limiting either portion of public comment.

She said that when there are "major hot topics on the agenda" and people want to speak about it, the Board should want to hear from as many residents as possible.

She is also in favor of not limiting the second public comment.

"I very strongly feel that if you’ve come and you’ve sat in the audience and you sit through however long our meeting should be, to then be told 'Sorry we are cutting it off.' To me that's not open and transparent and asking for community input," said White.

Timothy Salmon also was also not in favor of limiting time on either public comment portion.

"What's the benefit of going from 45 minutes to 30 minutes for the first public comment on agenda items? I would think that we would want to get as much questions out there … they are on agenda items, we are reading reports, it's somethingwe are voting on. If people have questions on that at least we can discuss it during Board forum," said Salmon.

Salmon added that he didn't think it was right for a resident to wait 44 minutes then be told there isn't enough time for them to say their peace.

"You sat through 44 minutes of other people's comments - even if its repetitive or even if it's not a question, even it's just a comment or a complaint or a praise or whatever - I don't think we should be limiting that aspect of the meeting really at all. Because if someone is coming here and taking their time to come here and listen to us and to other folks in the community we shouldn't cut them off for any reason," said Salmon.

Board member Larence Rascio agreed with Salmon on not limiting the second public portion but was in favor of limiting the first portion to 30 minutes.

"...It allows us to get to other business. When you are sitting up here for an hour and you start to - even we start to lose focus- so limiting that to 30 minutes and then keeping the second one open ended," said Rascio.

Overall the Board compromised and agreed to limit the first public comment section on agenda items only to 30 minutes while keeping the second public comment portion on anything unlimited.

During the second public comment section, resident Cody Smith disagreed with limiting the comments.

"If there is some issue in some meetings and efficiancy, I don't buy that. I think we should have as much public comment as we need and like some of the comments were made and if people come here and they wait in line and they are going to comment, they should be able to comment," said Smith.

Smih also suggested that if there is an overall concern about too much public comment, for the Board to cap the meeting at a ceratin time of the night like other township committees.

"To limit public comment on agenda items or non-agenda items, I think, is misguided," said Smith.
