Aging is inevitable, and for many, it signals the beginning of a new chapter - one where you cross off bucket list items and live life to the fullest, on your own terms. However, for some women, aging is a horrible prospect, filled with chronic fatigue, irritability, and inability to perform in the bedroom. If you're concerned about life in middle age and beyond, we've got great news: there are easy, proven steps that you can take to help stop the negative effect of aging.

HRT, and growth hormone peptide therapies bridge the gap between your old life and the more vibrant, happier version of you. With a simple click or call, you can be well on your way to a brighter future. After all, you deserve to be the one in charge of your wellness and health. Now, you have the tools to do so - backed by science and applied by our team of HRT experts with more than 13 years of experience.
As women age, their hormones begin to go through changes that affect their day-to-day lives. For women, hormone deficiency and imbalance usually occur during menopause and can cause chronic fatigue, hot flashes, and mood swings, among other issues. Hormone replacement therapy helps correct hormone imbalances in women, helping them feel more vibrant and virile as they age.
Often, HRT treatments give patients enhanced quality of life that they didn't think was possible - even in their 60's and beyond.
The benefits for women are numerous and are available today through Global Life Rejuvenation.
As women age, their bodies begin to go through significant changes that affect their quality of life. This change is called menopause and marks the end of a woman's menstrual cycle and reproduction ability. Though there is no specific age when this change occurs, the average age of menopause onset is 51 years old. However, according to doctors, menopause officially starts 12 months after a woman's final period. During the transition to menopause, women's estrogen and other hormones begin to deplete.
As that happens, many women experience severe symptoms. These symptoms include:
The symptoms of hormone deficiency can be concerning and scary for both women and their spouses. However, if you're getting older and notice some of these symptoms, there is reason to be hopeful. Hormone replacement therapy and anti-aging medicine for women can correct imbalances that happen during menopause. These safe, effective treatments leave you feeling younger, healthier, and more vibrant.
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.
For many women, menopause is a trying time that can be filled with many hormonal hurdles to jump through. A little knowledge can go a long way, whether you're going through menopause now or are approaching "that" age.
Here are some of the most common issues that women experience during menopause:
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:
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 - 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:
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 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 Palm Beach, FL 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.
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?
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 Palm Beach, FL 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.
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.
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 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.
Hormone stability is imperative for a healthy sex drive and for a normal, stress-free life during menopause. HRT and anti-aging treatments for women balance the hormones that your body has altered due to perimenopause or menopause.
HRT for women is a revolutionary step in helping women live their best lives, even as they grow older. However, at Global Life Rejuvenation, we know that no two patients are the same. That's why we specialize in holistic treatments that utilize HRT, combined with healthy nutrition, supplements, and fitness plans that maximize hormone replacement treatments.
If you've been suffering through menopause, is HRT the answer? That's hard to say without an examination by a trusted physician, but one thing's for sure. When a woman balances her hormone levels, she has a much better shot at living a regular life with limited depression, weight gain, mood swings, and hot flashes.
Here are just a few additional benefits of HRT and anti-aging treatments for females:
Hormone imbalance causes a litany of issues. But with anti-aging treatments for women, females can better process calcium, keep their cholesterol levels safe, and maintain a healthy vagina. By replenishing the body's estrogen supply, HRT can relieve symptoms from menopause and protect against osteoporosis. But that's just the start.
Global Life Rejuvenation's patients report many more benefits of HRT and anti-aging medicine for women:
If you're ready to feel better, look better, and recapture the vitality of your youth, it's time to contact Global Life Rejuvenation. It all starts with an in-depth consultation, where we will determine if HRT and anti-aging treatments for women are right for you. After all, every patient's body and hormone levels are different. Since all our treatment options are personalized, we do not have a single threshold for treatment. Instead, we look at our patient's hormone levels and analyze them on a case-by-case basis.
At Global Life Rejuvenation, we help women rediscover their youth with HRT treatment for women. We like to think of ourselves as an anti-aging concierge service, guiding and connecting our patients to the most qualified HRT physicians available. With customized HRT treatment plan for women, our patients experience fewer menopausal symptoms, less perimenopause & menopause depression, and often enjoy a more youth-like appearance.
Growth hormone peptides are an innovative therapy that boosts the natural human growth hormone production in a person's body. These exciting treatment options help slow down the aging process and give you a chance at restoring your youth.
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.
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.
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.
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:

Brightline tickets for the train's South Florida to Orlando route officially went on sale Wednesday morning with an initial purchase date of Friday, Sept. 1.
Officials are confident the intercity rail routes to Orlando will be ready by the Labor Day weekend. One-way and round-trip tickets between South Florida stations in Miami, Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and Orlando International Airport can be bought at gobrightline.com or by downloading the app.
Guests are being encouraged to sign up for Brightline emails on gobrightline.com to be the first to know when summer inaugural rides will go on sale, leading to speculation that a first ride between Orlando and South Florida may be possible sooner than Labor Day.

What to know:Will Brightline stop at Disney Cruise Line at Port Canaveral?
“Brightline guests and the travel market have spoken loudly, and we want to respond by opening ticket sales from late summer through the beginning of next year,” said Patrick Goddard, president of Brightline. “While we are finalizing an official launch date, guests can now book travel for Labor Day, Halloween and holidays through the new year.”
Brightline is nearing the finishing phases of the service, first proposed more than a decade ago, that will link South Florida to Orlando with trains going up to 125 mph, making Brightline the fastest train operating in the southeast. Brightline estimates 35 million people travel between Central Florida and Miami each year.
The train line is trying to accomplish what others have attempted to do, both in Florida and elsewhere in the United States. Palm Beach Post reporter Kim Miller delved deep into Brightline's origins and where it wants to go. To read that story, go here.
Here is additional work taking place leading up to a Brightline service start date:
Rehabilitation work on St. Lucie River railroad bridge continues this month as Brightline completes that section of the span, one of the last major steps in completing the route to Orlando.
A three-week, round-the-clock shutdown of the 98-year-old bridge began May 1.
The bridge is scheduled to be closed until 6 a.m. on Monday, May 22. During this time, passage for any vessel needing an opening will be blocked. Overnight bridge closures will continue from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., May 22 to May 29. Crews are working 24/7 on the bridge to complete the work on time.
Brightline is continuing to test trains at high speeds, increasing up to 110 mph through the 129-mile corridor between West Palm Beach and Cocoa.
Upcoming tests in May are scheduled between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Wednesday, May 31 through Sunday, June 4 along a 22-mile section of track, involving multiple railroad crossings through Martin and St. Lucie Counties.
Flaggers will be present at 14 of the railroad crossings between Midway Road/CR 712 and SR A1A where high speed testing will occur. Brightline is working with law enforcement agencies throughout the corridor.
High-speed testing up to 110 mph will continue in phases along the corridor over the coming weeks. The public is reminded to be vigilant around railroad tracks and follow the law around railroad crossings.
Brightline will continue to roll out qualifying trains between South Florida sites and Orlando that is a key step before a launch.
A qualifying train does not carry passengers and runs will provide Brightline locomotive engineers and conductors an opportunity to learn and navigate the new 168-mile stretch from West Palm Beach to Orlando.
Qualifying train runs help conductors and engineers familiarize themselves with the road crossings, signals, curves and speed restrictions, according to Brightline.
Once this additional work is completed, Brightline will go through a certification process by the Federal Railroad Administration, the regulatory agency, before service can begin.
Brightline's one-way fares from Miami to Orlando will start at $79 for Smart and $149 for Premium. Kids’ Smart one-way fares will start at $39. Smart fare bundles for families of four are available for less than $199 one way. A check of Brightline's app on Wednesday morning found that a one-way Smart ticket from West Palm Beach to Orlando on Sept. 1 will cost $79 while a Premium ticket will cost $149. The first train departs West Palm at 8:07 a.m. and is expected to arrive in Orlando at 10:15 a.m. Prices from Orlando to West Palm are the same.
Passengers can buy tickets at the stations, but they also can purchase them online. Discounted fares are available with two days advance purchase.

Service will include 16 daily roundtrips with hourly departures between Miami and Orlando.
Weekdays
Weekends
The company also said it will continue a daily commuter schedule between Miami and West Palm Beach. The early morning departure will be at 5 a.m. from West Palm Beach with evening night departures until 12:45 a.m. out of Miami.
Brightline will link riders from Miami to Orlando in about three hours. Here is the estimated time from the South Florida stations:
Brightline will be the only passenger rail service to offer Starlink's high-speed, low-latency broadband service. Starlink, which is engineered and operated by SpaceX, offers cutting edge technology that will set the stage for a better connected passenger rail service.

To commemorate the beginning of the historic railway, Brightline officials are looking to recreate a "golden spike" event.
The golden spike was the final 17.6-karat gold final spike driven into the ground to unite the rails of the first transcontinental railroad across the United States on May 10, 1869.
Railways from the Central Pacific Railroad were linked to the Union Pacific Railroad at Promontory Summit, Utah Territory. The spike is now displayed in the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University.

SUNRISE — Throughout his tenure with the Florida Panthers, Sergei Bobrovsky has kept the same mentality, game in and game out. Regardless of how rocky the circumstances got at times.
The two-time Vezina Trophy winner has kept that same mentality through multiple rough patches in South Florida — ones where the seven-year, $70 million contract he signed with the Panthers in 2019 has been called one of the worst in the league — but he has not let it get to him.
After a regular season that saw him suffer through multiple stints of injuries and illness as well as temporarily losing the starting job at the beginning of the postseason to Alex Lyon, his mindset helped him settle back in and lead Florida to its first Eastern Conference Finals berth since 1996.
“It’s your life and you have to approach it one day at a time,” Bobrovsky told The Palm Beach Post. “You can’t think too far ahead of yourself or too far behind. I’m just trying to stay in the moment and do what the situation dictates. You don’t really think about wins or losses, it’s more about the process. You go with it, go with the flow, and see where you’re going.”
Bye bye Bruins:Panthers stun Bruins in OT in Game 7 to knock record-setting Boston out of Stanley Cup playoffs
Panthers under the radar:Panthers open Stanley Cup playoffs as hunter rather than the hunted
The rest of the team has echoed the exact words that Bobrovsky often says after games: “One game at a time.” And it has led them to one of the most improbable runs in Stanley Cup Playoffs history.
After entering the playoffs with the worst record of any team in the postseason, the Panthers took down the record-breaking Boston Bruins and high-powered Toronto Maple Leafs and now sit four wins away from the Stanley Cup Final.They open the best-of-seven conference finals Thursday night at Carolina.
Bobrovsky is arguably the reason they are there.
Since Florida started its historic run trailing 3-1 to the Bruins in the first round, Bobrovsky is 7-1-0 with a .928 save percentage and a 2.47 goals-against average.
He torched the Maple Leafs in the second round, going 4-1-0 with a .943 save percentage and a 1.89 goals-against average while allowing no more than two goals in each game.
“I think the story of Sergei Bobrovsky is how he goes into Game 5 (against Boston) and you almost need to fully appreciate the pressure that he is under in that game,” Panthers coach Paul Maurice said. “Alex Lyon has saved our season if you will, he’s been so good, but the weight of that game needed to be carried by (Bobrovsky). And he did.”
Bobrovsky stopped 44 of the 47 shots he faced – including a Brad Marchand breakaway in the dying seconds of regulation – to lead the Panthers to an overtime win to keep their season alive. He's kept on rolling from there.
“That was an unbelievable performance in the context of that,” Maurice said. “So then you get a glimpse of the man at his best. I think what you are seeing is a confident Sergei Bobrovsky. He’s not a reason, he is the reason we are winning. Not ‘Hey, your goaltending is not as good as the other team.’
"You play Tampa twice and Andrei Vasilevskiy is on a roll and you’re the guy on the other end of the rink who doesn’t feel as good. But Sergei knows that he’s come back in and every night he’s been the best goalie.”
Bobrovsky kept the Panthers alive multiple times during the Boston series with big saves in crucial moments. Once they secured arguably the biggest upset in NHL playoffs history, Bobrovsky was lights out against Toronto.
“It’s great to have a guy like that in the net. It gives you a lot of confidence,” captain Aleksander Barkov said. “You don’t want to have any breakdowns, but when those happen or they get a good chance to score, Bob is always there for us and gives us a chance to win every night.”
Bobrovsky is one of the first players on the ice and one of the last to leave the rink in an effort to help the team win. Even if it means lifting his goaltending partner up rather than himself.
When he fell ill in Toronto late in the regular season with the Panthers’ playoff hopes hanging by a thread, Bobrovsky sat down with Lyon and broke down the Maple Leafs' offense and what to look for.
Lyon stopped 38 of 40 shots to spark the six-game winning streak, which helped Florida clinch a spot in the postseason. And even when he was healthy enough to return with three games to go in the regular season, Bobrovsky stood by and supported his teammate any way he could.
“[Lyon] stepped into a tough situation,” Bobrovsky said. “He hasn’t played much this year and our season was on the line against one of the best teams in the league and he did a great job. He put the team on his shoulders and brought the team to the playoffs. It was a crucial time.
“I have also always had good relationships with the other goalie. I think it’s healthy and it’s good for the team and good for us because only the two of us know what the other is dealing with and we can only support each other and help each other to be reliable.”
Bobrovsky has kept that same kind of rapport with his partners of the past when they took over the bulk of the starts during his struggles over the last three seasons as well. Whether it was his usual partner, 22-year-old Spencer Knight or 2020-21 breakout and Seattle Expansion Draft pick Chris Driedger, he would put the same energy into helping them succeed.
“It’s more just the process talk,” Bobrovsky said. “You still have to play the game and trust your instincts. You don’t think about what the shooter is going to do. You read the game and you rely on your instincts. The talks are more about sharing the information: what you see, what you went through, and what you felt there.”
Through all of the bad times Bobrovsky has lived through with the Panthers, he has come out of it as grateful as ever. He is entering the first conference final of his 13-year NHL career playing at his best and he is ready for whatever the Hurricanes are going to throw at him.
“I am happy and fortunate that we are still alive,” Bobrovsky said. “There are only four teams still alive and I’m still playing hockey, so I’m happy with that. We beat two really strong teams and our journey still continues.”

Before sealing a $340 million construction deal, one Florida developer and New York investor didn’t know they were making Palm Beach business history.
"We didn't know it was going to be record-breaking, but we found out after the fact," Catalfumo Companies founder Dan Catalfumo told Fox News Digital. "Our team worked extremely hard. We had all hands on deck for the size of this loan."
Overlooking the Palm Beach Gardens intracoastal waterway sits a sprawling 11 acres that will be transformed into The Ritz-Carlton Residences’ newest luxury mid-rise condominiums.
New-York based Madison Realty Capital provided Catalfumo with a $340 million loan, the largest in Florida since the Federal Reserve began hiking interest rates, according to a press release.
SOUTH FLORIDA HEATS UP WITH ‘UNPRECEDENTED’ GROWTH, TRANSFORMS INTO ‘MOST DYNAMIC CITY IN THE WORLD’
"We have significant experience transacting in South Florida and will continue to look at projects with strong sponsors, strong pre-sales, and well-thought-out budgets," Josh Zegen, managing principal and co-founder of Madison Realty Capital, also told Fox News Digital. "There continues to be demand, but we are making sure we are picking the right projects that have had early success that can be delivered by experienced sponsors."
The developer detailed how these luxury condos set themselves apart from others in the area – panoramic balcony views, a private marina, putting green, park, 16 penthouses, massive infinity pool, and parking spots each equipped with EV chargers.
"I don't know if there's any more boxes that I can check," Catalfumo said. "It is so unique because they're really like homes in the sky because they're really not condominiums."
After opening sales in February, the luxury residential building is reportedly approaching $100 million in home sales. Each unit bid starts at $4 million, with an expected move-in date of Q3 2025.
Interested buyers come from demographics "all over the board," the developer noted.
"It's been people moving from older, large homes that are 20 to 25 years old and don't want to go through the renovation project, and then out-of-state buyers that are coming in and buying a brand-new product," Catalfumo explained.
The residential project lends itself "perfectly" to the office and business growth Palm Beach has had since the pandemic, the builder pointed out, as well as South Florida flourishing as the "Wall Street of the South."
"There really is no place for people to live that are CEOs or presidents, other than a handful of condominiums that are full. So they automatically gravitate to Palm Beach Gardens, which is the golf capital of the world. And for them, this is a brand-new building," Catalfumo said.
"New Yorkers and others from northern cities continue to migrate to Florida and expect higher quality living options than what has historically been available," Zegen added. "Working with The Ritz-Carlton will ensure that quality is met and appeals to full-time residents as well as those splitting time between Florida and northern cities."
Throughout this month, Catalfumo’s team will work to build the final marina docks and await the building’s sheet pile installation on May 16. But both the developer and lender look most forward to seeing families and "smiles on their faces" as they move into their new home.

"Literally every time we do a brand-new project and we have our grand opening, we have every customer come in and they just have smiles," Catalfumo said.
"We think the market has continued growth ahead," Zegen said, "so long as infrastructure, most importantly transportation and schools, can handle the influx of new residents."
