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

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 Riverdale, 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 Riverdale, 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 Riverdale, 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 Riverdale, 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

RIVERDALE — Wes' Tavern, a run-down dive bar on Hamburg Turnpike known for $6 lunch specials, will be demolished and replaced with a strip mall with a new restaurant/bar.

Planning Board officials approved the mixed use building for 57 Hamburg Turnpike in the spring, and work on the project is expected to begin in March. The developer will be submitting blueprints for the borough to review in about 35 days.

The footprint of the new building is about four times the size Wes' Tavern. It's a two-story building with 3,500 square feet for the bar/restaurant space on the first floor. There are another 4,275 square feet of retail space available for lease. The building will house eight one-bedroom apartments on the second floor. There is also a basement for a total building square footage of 23,625 square feet.

The 1.16 acre property Wes' Tavern currently occupies between Drace Place and Mead Avenue will also be improved.

Say goodbye:Shaw's Book Shop in Westwood closes

Officials welcomed the building and property upgrade with unanimous approval. Marketing of the new retail spaces has begun. Final transfer of the property is contingent upon final building approvals, explained the developer.

The new building will be noticeably different from the "horrible" one there now, said one planning board member. The roofs of the existing white building are sagging and black dirt clings to it. A railing outside appears broken and pieces of siding and trim are broken.

"The property is clearly out of date and in need of a face-lift, if you will," said John Palus, the project's engineer.

Along with the obvious aesthetic building improvement, if the developer moves forward there will be significant landscaping and drainage improvements around the property. A total of 151 plantings are planned and the building will be pushed back off Hamburg Turnpike. It will also get a small outdoor patio with a accessible ramp alongside it.

In an effort to improve the awkward layout of the property, the developer is reducing the entrance from two driveways to one. The site will get new asphalt and an underground infiltration system will be installed to capture rain run-off.

"We think it will be an outstanding-looking building," said Doug Bern, the applicant's attorney.

Scott Berkowitz, one of the principals for the development, said the idea to overhaul the site came out of conversations he had in the borough's building department. Berkowitz founded a metal fabrication company called EVS Metal. It was originally located in Pompton Plains and was relocated to Kenner Court in the borough. Joesph Young, the owner of Cornerstone Chiropractic in Riverdale, is also a partner.

"We love Riverdale and we don't need to make a lot of money on this," he said.

Berkowitz said he sees this as a fun opportunity to upgrade the site, create a town center, and give back to the community.

"It’s just the right thing to do," he told the NorthJersey.com and USA TODAY NETWORK New Jersey. "Give people a place to go. Clean up that mess. Start the new sidewalk. Put a patio out there. You gotta do the right thing at times and if you have a couple bucks you know, why not."

Berkowitz is excited to get the project moving but said it's a slow process and there are a lot of steps even after Planning Board review. He expects the plans to be finalized by the end of the year but construction will have to wait until after the winter.

From Wes' to Scotty's

At first the restaurant and bar will reemerge as Wes' Tavern and at some point it will become Scotty's Oyster Bar — a concept Berkowitz said he came up with.

He envisions a family restaurant that sells seafood and bar food but isn't high end or "snooty." He's seeking someone to partner with to lease the space and run the restaurant. The restaurant will be completely built out with a kitchen and ready to go, he said.

Berkowitz said he prefers to give a chance to someone new with a dream, instead of a restaurateur who already owns multiple businesses.

"We’re going to make it a turnkey solution for anybody who wants to walk in and give their heart and soul to something," Berkowitz said.

"It’s going to be a place where you can bring your family, your friends and hang out and have reasonably priced food and good times and make some memories," he said.

All of the retail and restaurant space on the first floor of the new building is being advertised for lease by the The Goldstein Group.

Story continues below gallery

The new building

The approved plans for the building call for a colonial feel with brick, masonry and siding. Awnings and signs will define the commercial components of the building, according to the plans.

An elevator is included in the plan to access the apartments. The apartments will be about 750 square feet in size. There are 76 parking spaces.

Berkowitz said the property is too narrow and deep to have it front facing on Hamburg Turnpike. The bar/restaurant side of the building will be the most visible part from the road, but the rest of the building will have enough of a presence to be seen from the road.

During the Planning Board hearings neighbors raised concerns about rodents outside and asked how the dumpsters will be handled. Others asked about water run-off and about car headlights shining onto their yards. The developer agreed to put in fencing to act as a screen from car lights.

The site is located in Riverdale's Community Redevelopment District Zone in downtown Riverdale.

The Planning Board also recently approved a mixed use retail and residential building for 4 Hamburg Turnpike down the street.

Historian to give talk on 1930s Nazi camp in Bloomingdale

RIVERDALE — Local historian Tom Riley will be presenting his popular presentation "Nazis in Riverdale?" at the borough library on Wednesday, Oct. 3.

The retired educator, who grew up in Bloomingdale, said he first learned of the infamous German Bund camp on Federal Hill from the ghost stories in his youth.

The camp, active in the 1930s, was in Bloomingdale but was reached from behind Slater's Mill off Hamburg Turnpike in Riverdale. The bridge behind the mill was washed out in 1903.

"There really was a German camp on Federal Hill," Riley said. "So, of course, that just got my imagination going and I was just a sponge for anything to do with Federal Hill."

Camp Bergwald was raided several times by the FBI, and 19 members were put on trial in 1944. Four were convicted as spies for conspiring to transmit military information to Germany in violation of the Espionage Act in 1943.

"So you had spies right here looking down at you from Federal Hill," Riley said.

The camp was ultimately confiscated by the United States government and the land eventually bought by Tilcon Quarry, which owns more land on Federal Hill.

Riley recently had a chance to do some exploring on Federal Hill as part of the production of a new documentary available on YouTube called: "Bloomingdale — An American Small Town."

Remnants of a camp building, visible today, are included in the film, along with some archive footage of camp activities. The film producers received special permission to explore the camp site, accompanied by Tilcon security.

Riley's presentation also includes photographs. Camp Bergwald was a youth camp for boys and girls 8 to 18, Riley said. Members spoke German, and along with normal camp activities they were indoctrinated with a "heavy dose of national socialism," he said.

More:Controversial 'Hidden Hills' hearings continue in Riverdale

Members handed out fliers and sold pamphlets and Nazi collectibles, he said. At its height there were 20 chapters across the United States, most concentrated in the Northeast.

"Make no mistake: They were just as anti-Roosevelt-administration as anybody possibly could be," Riley said. "The same spiel that Hitler was spreading across Europe at this time, this German American Vocational League are spreading right here."

The group evolved from the Friends of Hitler Movement, the Friends of New Germany and then, by 1936, the German American Bund. Riley cited a 1944 New York Times article that traced $13,000 used to purchase the land on Federal Hill back to Nazi Germany, the Vocational League and the German Labor movement.

Federal Hill, it turns out, also played a role in the Revolutionary War and was part of a beacon system. The early-warning system was used to alert Gen. George Washington of British troops' movements.

Washington even put down a mutiny on Federal Hill, and two of the three mutineers were executed. So the ghosts stories about mutineers that Riley heard as a child had some merit. So did the ones about Nazis on Federal Hill.

The site where Camp Bergwald and the beacon were located may end up being quarried, the historian said. There is no access to the old Bund Camp site, he said, and the area is fenced off. The camp is now within the active blast area of Tilcon.

Register online for the event at riverdalelibrary.org, or call the library at 973-835-5044.

Riley is also known for his presentations on the connection of Babe Ruth and minor league baseball to the area. Keep an eye on the local library calendars for his talks.

Vibe Burger Brings Food & Fun to Riverdale

he best businesses adapt to change in creative ways. Take Vibe for instance, an entertainment event company in Riverdale which hosts events like bar mitzvahs and sweet sixteens. When COVID-19 shut down events and indoor gatherings, the owner transformed the space into a restaurant called Vibe Burger; serving farm-to-table comfort food in a fun venue.

Vibe Burger is more than just a restaurant, however. The space also houses arcade games, a mini-golf course, and even virtual reality rides. Though many events have been canceled or scaled down, they can host small private parties. They also offer off-premise event planning through their other business, The Entertainment Company. But with NJ being cautious about indoor gatherings, they are focusing on the restaurant side of things for now.

With this in mind, Vibe Burger can serve 32 guests outside on their outdoor patio beneath tents. They also offer touchless ordering and payment via either your phone or tablets that they provide. “It’s for the long term,” says Brian Rosenbaum, who owns Vibe Burger along with his wife, Jennifer. Of course, they also have indoor seating.

What’s on the Vibe Burger Menu

Vibe Burger owes its menu to award-winning Owner and Partner/Executive Chef Darryl Harmon; in fact, you’ll find many crossover creations at both Vibe and the recently opened Shell N’ Tail in Jersey City. In particular, Harmon has a line of seasonings he incorporates into many recipes. “We have unique stuff,” says Rosenbaum. “It’s different than places you order takeout from. Most are freezing and reheating. We don’t do that. We’re making it all fresh. You can taste it.”

So far, the Wagyu beef hot dogs are popular, and come with fondue cheese, a secret onion sauce, and mustard. In addition, their signature burgers are a big hit. For instance, the Nacho Ranch Flip is a smashed patty with a cheese blend, pico de gallo, and avocado crema; then topped with Doritos. Vibe Burger also receives fresh local seafood deliveries daily. Other menu options include salads, sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, cheesesteaks, and wings. Gluten-free options, vegetarian meals, and a kids’ menu are also available. Click here to see the full menu.

But make sure you save room for dessert. Those with a sweet tooth can indulge in over-the top shakes, handmade ice-cream sandwiches, or ice cream sundaes. Meanwhile, Rosenbaum says their homemade desserts options will rotate; current favorites include the peach cobbler as well as the bread pudding.

The Waughaw Mountain Greenway in Riverdale and Kinnelon just got bigger with the donation of about 47 acres of land to the Morris County Park Commission.

Previously comprising 306 acres of undeveloped land, county stewards hope to open it in the future with an off-road cycling and hiking trail system. Future access to and parking for the park will be developed off Brook Valley Road in Kinnelon.

The land "enhances the proposed trailhead that will begin along the Route 23 corridor," said Morris County Park Commission Executive Director Dave Helmer.

“Preserving open space for our residents is a priority,” Riverdale Mayor Paul Carelli said. “The Waughaw Mountain Greenway will be a wonderful amenity for not only our residents and those from surrounding communities, but will also showcase what Riverdale has to offer to all who visit the Greenway.”

Park Commission President Stuart Lasser said the donation expands the largest county park system in New Jersey by acreage and adds to protected green space "at the gateway to Morris County."

Fairfield-based Rensselaer, which donated the land, also has a portfolio of rural properties around northern New Jersey and has undertaken a variety of green initiatives, including preserving undeveloped forestland in Mansfield in Warren County.

“We believe that a crucial part of doing business is serving the communities we operate in,” said Rensselaer Commercial Properties CEO Christina PioCosta-Lahue. “For us, real estate is just as much about providing high-quality spaces where our tenants can create, build, grow and thrive as it is about preserving the natural spaces around us,” she continued.

Established in 1956, the Morris County Parks Commission is the steward of more than 20,000 acres of parkland and operates 34 facilities including four golf courses, ice-skating arena and a boating marina on Lake Hopatcong. A staff of 151 full-time, 66 seasonal and part-time employees handles operations for the system, which features 253 miles of trails and attracts more than 4 million visitors annually.

A community garden is coming to Riverdale in 2023, courtesy of an injection of cash from a statewide nonprofit.

The $10,000 grant received this week from Sustainable Jersey and the PSEG Foundation will allow Riverdale to create the garden at the town's senior center for next spring, said Mayor Paul Carelli.

Registration is expected to open this winter for residents who want to rent plots next year. Not all plots will be available as some will be reserved for the Riverdale Food Pantry, Carelli said.

"A select few will be tabletop ADA accessible beds for senior citizens and those with disabilities," he added.

A few beds have already been built by young residents Matthew Soto and Gina Oswald as scouting projects. The $10,000 will fund fencing, water infrastructure and an ADA-accessible entrance, Carelli said.

The $10,000 award is one of 35 distributed this year by Sustainable Jersey, a Lawrenceville-based nonprofit created to incentivize environmentally friendly projects and programs run by local governments and school districts. Since 2009, it has distributed roughly $500,000 per year.

This year, the nonprofit doled out grants in 15 of New Jersey's 23 counties. Thirteen received $10,000, 15 received $2,000 and seven communities received $20,000 grants.

Among them was New Milford, where local officials are seeking to partner with Bergen County Audubon Society and Hackensack Riverkeeper to create an environmental resource inventory for use "as a first step in informing and determining future projects," said Michael Putrino.

A popular planning tool in the region, the reports identify natural resources, contamination zones and existing infrastructure to help determine the viability for construction projects and environmental conservation efforts.

Other projects in New Jersey funded by this year's $300,0000 round of grant funding include an effort by Fair Lawn to upgrade its website and communications and Chester Township's desire to make a 7-acre field a "pollinator paradise." Statewide, efforts include a mobile farmers market; outdoor classrooms, and more.

The grants supported by the PSEG Foundation and evaluated by an independent committee help communities take meaningful steps to combat climate crisis, social equity and environmental pollution, said Randall Solomon, executive director for Sustainable Jersey.

“As we work to achieve a sustainable New Jersey, our organization understands how important it is to help municipalities and schools build on the progress they are making at the local level," he said.
