Let's Talk!

HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY for Women estrogen
 HRT For Men Ramsey, 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 Ramsey, 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 Ramsey, 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.

 Hormone Replacement Ramsey, NJ

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.

Hormone Replacement Therapy Ramsey, NJ

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 Ramsey, 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 Ramsey, 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
 Hormone Replacement Ramsey, NJ

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 Ramsey, 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

Ramsey football holds off Bernards for first playoff win since 2011

On Friday, fourth-seeded Ramsey got a win in the playoffs, defeating fifth-seeded Bernards, 35-21, in the North 2, Group 2 quarterfinals.

RAMSEY − The pain lasted in Ramsey for 357 days.

Last season, the Rams went undefeated in the regular season and were the top seed in their sectional bracket before being upset by Hanover Park in the first round. On Friday, fourth-seeded Ramsey got a win in the playoffs, defeating fifth-seeded Bernards, 35-21, in the North 2, Group 2 quarterfinals. The win helped heal the pain from last season and erased an 11-year absence from the second round of the playoffs.

"Tonight was important," Ramsey coach Adam Baeira said. "I feel for the seniors from last season and I credit the guys who went through it last season. Last year, the season got cut short and it took a year to get back here. They played with a chip on their shoulder and played a hell of a game."

Junior Luca Gemma and senior Robert Fuerst, who were both a part of that playoff loss a season ago, combined for all five rushing touchdowns for the Rams.

On the Rams' second drive, Fuerst dove to the 1-yard line and had his helmet ripped off. By rule, he left the field for one play and Gemma took a direct snap for the game’s first touchdown and the first points allowed by Bernards since Sept. 23 at Delaware Valley.

Check out the photo gallery, then continue reading.

"We just played for each other tonight," said Fuerst. "The offensive line blocked well all night and we all ran hard. We all just want to succeed for one another. It's as simple as that."

Bernards answered in the second quarter as Connor Laverty found Enzo Britez for a 23-yard touchdown grab to tie the game 7-7. Gemma got his second rushing touchdown from a yard out to put Ramsey back up, 14-7, but Bernards responded again. Laverty found Nicky Koulfie for a screen pass that went for a 39-yard touchdown and a tie game.

Fuerst found the end zone with a 10-yard scamper with 17 seconds left in the half to take a 21-14 lead into halftime. Despite penalties on their opening drive of the second half moving them back to their own 5-yard line, the Rams scored once more as Fuerst ran into the end zone from 12 yards out.

"Having the success we had with the option tonight opens up a whole new area of our offense," Fuerst said. "We have terrific receivers and great running backs, so if I am able to have good runs as well, it's just one more guy out there with the ball for them to worry about."

In the fourth quarter, Gemma put the game away with a 34-yard rushing touchdown to give Ramsey a 35-14 lead. Gemma, who missed time earlier this season with a shoulder injury, battled through pain all night from the residual damage taken throughout the season.

"I don't feel too great, but injuries happen and nobody really feels 100 percent at this time of the year," Gemma said. "I'll do whatever I can to try and help us win and go as far as we can."

What it means

Ramsey last won a playoff game when it beat Hopatcong in the North 1, Group 2 quarterfinals in 2011. The Rams move on to the sectional semifinals next week and keep their season going.

"You want to go as far as you can and every win you can get one step closer to the goal," Gemma said. "Last year was a wake-up call for us because we were 8-0 but we were not prepared for the playoffs. We're ready now and we're ready to go."

It also spells the end of the line for Bernards, which had not lost since Sept. 2 and entered the playoffs on a seven-game win streak.

By the numbers

235-14: The Mountaineers had scored points in bunches while shutting out opponents and outscoring them 235-14 during their win streak. In their only other loss this season, a defeat in September to Hillside, they also gave up 35 points.

331: Ramsey scored 294 points in the regular season and eclipsed the 300 mark in Friday's victory. The season total of 331 points scored is currently the fourth-highest scoring season in Ramsey football history. The Rams would need 31 points to tie the school record for points in a season, which they set last season.

Key play

Leading by two touchdowns and seeking to put the game away in the third quarter, Ramsey drove near the Bernards end zone before fumbling short of the goal line. It was recovered in the end zone by Bernards for a touchback, allowing the Mountaineers to try and cut the lead in half. A deep throw by Connor Laverty was hauled in by senior Xavier Futrell, who returned it to the Ramsey 40-yard line.

"In every game, there's three or four plays that define the game," Baeira said. "That play might have been as big as the other ones put together. It snatched momentum back and we really fed off of that play."

Ramsey held on to possession until the start of the fourth quarter, when Gemma broke a long run for his third touchdown of the night and made the deficit too large for Bernards to overcome.

They said it

"That's a hell of a good team in Bernards. They always play well and they're always in the playoffs. We saw them in the bracket next to us and knew we had to bring it against them and we did it." − Baeira.

"Luca is the toughest kid I know. He would play out there with a broken leg if they'd let him. It sparks us seeing him out there still dealing with his shoulder issue and we all want to play our best with him." − Fuerst

Up next

The Rams will face top-seeded Caldwell next week in the sectional semifinals. Caldwell beat High Point on Friday and holds the state's longest active win streak at 24 in a row.

Bernards (8-2) ends the season with exactly eight victories for the fifth straight season.

Everything seemed to be slipping away from Ramsey, No. 10 in the NJ.com Top 20.

After scoring an early goal to take the lead, that lead evaporated midway through the second half, and Pascack Valley made its biggest push to take the lead.

But all it took was one play for Ramsey to assume control once again.

Complete Box Score »

Lucas Chung’s cross found Jason Balbuena open at the far post, and the senior buried his second goal of the game on a header. Just like that, Ramsey was back in the lead.

Nineteen minutes later, it celebrated its third-straight sectional title.

The top-seeded Rams outlasted third-seeded Pascack Valley, 2-1, to win the North 1, Group 2 title in Ramsey.

“In the second half we came out strong, they scored that first goal and they were kind of all over us,” Patrick Weir said. “I just told the boys to settle down and play our game. If we play like we can, we’ll be able to create chances.”

Balbuena gave Ramsey (19-2) the lead in the fourth minute off of a cross from Kiran Dewan, and that lead held up through halftime, as both teams spent much of the half in the midfield.

But like any team that is trailing in a game of the magnitude of a sectional final, Pascack Valley made its push.

It forced Ramsey’s sophomore goalkeeper Steven De Pinto to make several key saves, including an impressive back-to-back sequence on Adrian Pilet just before Pascack Valley tied it up.

Pascack Valley tied the game in the 57th minute, as Pilet’s corner was hit into the back of the net by Michael Criscuolo. The following four minutes saw it push for the go-ahead goal, as it spent almost all of that time in the attacking end, pressing Ramsey’s back line and goalkeeper.

“We said at halftime that we wanted to run the play more,” Pascack Valley coach Luciano Cofrancesco said. “I thought we did that. I thought the boys had a great second half and we were pushing forward and moving numbers up. Unfortunately we got a exposed a little bit in the back, and that’s how they came to their second one.”

Ramsey’s Carson Deas, who had a strong game on the back line, took the ball upfield into the attacking end, and found Lucas Chung on the right side. Chung then crossed it to Balbuena, who finished it off to give his team the lead for good.

“Chung is amazing with those diagnoal balls into the box. I’m just there to finish them,” Balbuena said. “It was huge. We scored first, then they bounced back like they team they are, hard-working. But we passed the ball well and we scored the second goal.”

Ramsey will move on to the Group 2 semifinals on Wednesday, where it will take on Harrison as it looks to return to the state title game after losing, 2-1, to Delran in last year’s final.

“We know we want to get back to the state final,” Weir said. “That’s the goal we set at the beginning of the season. We just want to win it for them and for us, and we’ve been working so hard since July.”

Pascack Valley on the other hand, saw its season end with a 14-4-2 record. It won the North 1, Group 3 title last fall, and although it ultimately fell short of another sectional title, it has much to be proud of.

“This team is special,” Cofrancesco said. “They worked really hard day-in and day-out. From the program last year into this year, they do everything that they need to. They’re unselfish, and they’re just a great group of young men, and really great to coach.”

WEST CALDWELL — Ramsey will enjoy the honor and pleasure of playing in the final game of the New Jersey high school baseball season.

The Rams' 7-2 victory over Caldwell in Monday's NJSIAA Group 2 semifinal earned them a trip to Saturday's 7 p.m. final against Haddon Heights at Veterans Park in Hamilton.

Ramsey left-hander Connor O'Hara scattered five hits over 6? innings to earn the victory. He walked four, struck out four and allowed two earned runs.

“I’m just beyond thrilled to even be playing here right now,” O’Hara said. “Just to be able to go out there, play one more game now, senior year, it’s really special.”

Reliever Mike Featherstone closed it out by securing a game-ending double play. The right-hander induced a line drive to shortstop Robbie Caffrey, who stepped on second for the unassisted double play.

Ramsey had the leadoff batter reach base six times and he scored all six times. The Rams scored single runs in each of the first five innings and two in the seventh.

Will Kirk led off the third and fifth with hits and scored. He led off the seventh with a walk and scored. He made three stellar catches in right field.

Caffrey had a single, walk, sacrifice fly and two RBIs. Brooks Kanwisher had two singles and scored a run as the Rams produced nine hits.

“We grinded out for seven innings and just kept putting pressure on as much as we could,” Ramsey coach Paul Urbanovich said. “And we got another great pitching performance on the mound.”

What it means

Ramsey, which is 27-4 and has won 19 of its last 20 games, never has won a state title. The Rams won a North 1, Group 2 title in 1961, but the NJSIAA did not play down to a state champion until 1971.

The Rams' 7 p.m. game is the finale of a public school quadruple-header at Veterans Park. Kirk, a sophomore left-hander, is the team's ace and available to start.

Key inning

O'Hara got two huge outs in the second inning to keep Ramsey in the lead, 2-1. With runners on second and third and one out, he induced a liner to Kirk in shallow right and a swinging strikeout. Thus, he never had to pitch with the Rams trailing.

“It gives me huge confidence,” O’Hara said of pitching with the lead the entire game. “It’s a whole different ball game if I’m pitching 0-0, down one, or down two. It’s a lot more challenging [trailing], the nerves will get to you more, but I was able to settle in pretty nicely. It was never that big a lead, but a lead in general.”

By the numbers

The most significant number is Ramsey had the leadoff hitter reach base each of the first five innings and he scored to help build a 5-2 lead.

Caffrey led off the game with a walk and scored on Featherstone’s single through the left side. In the second, Kanwisher singled and scored on Caffrey’s single. In the third, Kirk singled and scored on Luke Monico’s sacrifice fly.

In the fourth, Aidan McNally singled and scored on Caffrey’s sacrifice fly. In the fifth, Kirk reached second on a misplayed blooper to shallow center and scored when Monico was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.

“We were able to get into our style of baseball, getting guys on base and causing a little havoc on the bases,” Urbanovich said. “We didn’t have any big-run innings, we left a lot of guys on base, but just continuously got a guy on.”

Defense in right field

For the second consecutive game, Ramsey got stellar defense from a right fielder. Kirk's best catch of three was a diving grab on a ball hit to shallow right to lead off the sixth. He also chased down two hard shots in right-center with runners on base.

Kirk played deeper in right after Caldwell's Ty Fredo blasted a first-inning triple over his head.

“Going into the game, I knew their approach was to really drive the ball that way,” Kirk said. “So I just took pride for the rest of the game in being able to stay behind the ball, and luckily that suited me well to make those tough catches.”
