Did you know that more than 40% of adults in the United States suffer from obesity? Unfortunately, there is no miracle cure for this condition. Perhaps worse is that more and more adults and children are gaining weight across the country, choosing the convenience of fast and nutrition-deficient foods over healthy eating, exercise, and positive life choices. From an aesthetic standpoint, being overweight is a struggle - clothes don't fit right, people make uncomfortable comments about how you look, and everyday activities are less appealing.
From a health and wellness standpoint, however, being obese is much worse. Your life is literally on the line. The people who love you and depend on you to be in their lives could lose you sooner than you expect. With time, you have a higher chance of suffering from significant, life-changing issues such as:
While obesity is a serious problem, a new medication on the market is giving hope to millions of men and women across the U.S. This game-changing treatment is called Semaglutide in Bergenfield, NJ. This anti-obesity medication is unique because it treats obesity as a chronic metabolic disease, rather than a problem that can be solved through sheer willpower. The best part? Semaglutide and other medical weight-loss peptides are now available at Global Life Rejuvenation.
At Global Life Rejuvenation, we understand that losing weight is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Our medical weight loss clinic offers custom medical weight loss plans tailored to your body, rather than plans based solely on your age or weight. In fact, our team of doctors and practitioners provides personalized guidance to help you achieve real results and live a healthier life.
Because the truth is maintaining good health and fitness are crucial in the modern world. Research has shown that viruses and diseases are more likely to affect those who are overweight and unhealthy. At Global Life Rejuvenation, we take a comprehensive, custom approach to medical weight loss that includes peptide therapy and more. We then work with you to make positive lifestyle changes, so you can lose weight, get healthy, and boost your wellbeing permanently - not for a few weeks or months.
If you're ready to get back to loving your life with more energy, confidence, and positivity, medical weight loss with peptide therapy may be for you. But to truly understand the benefits of peptides like Semaglutide, it's important you grasp what peptide therapy is and how it benefits your body.
Many individuals turn to peptide therapy to enhance their overall wellbeing by boosting hormones. Different types of peptides can target different areas of health, such as collagen peptides that can help improve skin, hair, and gut health.
Other peptides, such as AOD 9604, CJC 1295, and Semaglutide in Bergenfield, NJ, are incredibly beneficial for losing weight. Compared to vitamin supplements, peptide therapy works differently as peptides are already part of the proteins in our bodies, making them easier to absorb and benefit from. Conversely, our bodies can sometimes fail to absorb all the nutrients present in multivitamins, leading to their excretion through urine.
However, it's important to note that weight loss is a complex process that involves various factors like age, genetics, lifestyle, exercise, and diet. While peptides like Semaglutide can provide much-needed assistance in achieving your weight loss goals, they are most effective when combined with healthy dietary choices, regular exercise routines, and overall healthier lifestyle choices.
If you've already tried different weight loss plans and diets but haven't had any success, medical weight loss with peptide therapy may provide that extra boost you need to realize your goals.
If you're looking to lose weight and keep it off, diet and exercise are important, but it can be difficult to stick to a routine. For busy adults and parents, Semaglutide can be a helpful tool for weight loss. This injection, approved by the FDA for diabetes and obesity, works by stimulating GLP-1 receptors in the brain to aid in weight loss and improve long-term health.
You may be wondering to yourself, "That sounds great, but how does this type of peptide work?" Semaglutide acts like glucagon in your body, which signals to your brain that you're full and don't need to eat anymore. When you take Semaglutide, and you try to overeat, your body waves a proverbial red flag as if to say, "That's enough."
Semaglutide also slows down digestion, reducing unnecessary snacking throughout the day. By reducing glucose spikes after meals, it reduces inflammation, which is important for overall health. Additionally, Semaglutide helps your pancreas secrete insulin, regulates the glucose levels in your body, and even has anti-aging and longevity properties. If you're struggling to lose weight, peptide therapies for weight loss like Semaglutide can be an invaluable addition to your weight loss plan from Global Life Rejuvenation.
When combined with healthy lifestyle choices like diet and exercise, Semaglutide can help provide:
There are multiple medications available to combat obesity by suppressing appetite and promoting weight loss. However, Semaglutide stands out as an exceptional option.
A recent study of 2,000 obese adults examined the effects of Semaglutide when combined with a diet and exercise program. The results were compared to those who only made lifestyle changes without taking Semaglutide. After 68 weeks, it was found that half of the participants using Semaglutide lost 15% of their body weight, with nearly a third losing 20%. In contrast, those who only made lifestyle changes lost an average of 2.4% of their weight.
It's obvious, then, that Semaglutide is a safe and effective supplement for your weight loss journey with Global Life Rejuvenation. But who is the ideal patient who should be taking it?
If you have a body mass index (BMI) of 27kg/m2 or higher and at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol, or if your BMI is 30kg/m2 or higher, the FDA recommends Semaglutide for weight loss.
As medical weight loss experts, one thing our doctors and practitioners know at Global Life Rejuvenation is that true weight loss isn't dictated by medicines. It's achieved by sticking to a combo of exercise, healthy life choices, and healthy eating habits. From there, peptides like Semaglutide in Bergenfield, NJ are great for taking your weight loss efforts to the next level of success.
One area where many patients fail in this process is with their diet. If you're considering Semaglutide treatment, keep these diet tips in mind.
To enhance your dietary habits, a practical approach is to concentrate on consuming whole foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats. These food items are rich in nutrients and can provide a feeling of fullness and satisfaction while also promoting your overall wellbeing.
Eating mindfully involves being fully present and engaged during meals. This entails taking the time to enjoy the flavor of your food, being aware of your body's hunger and fullness signals, and avoiding distractions like electronics or television.
To maintain good health and support weight loss, it's crucial to drink plenty of water. It's recommended to drink at least 8-10 cups of water daily. You may also try adding low-calorie drinks like herbal tea or infused water to keep things interesting.
Planning your meals in advance is an effective approach to maintaining a healthy diet. Set aside some time each week to plan your meals and snacks, keeping in mind to incorporate a balance of protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. This will prevent impulsive food choices and guarantee that you have nutritious options available when hunger strikes.
Unlike many medical weight loss clinics, which only offer cookie-cutter weight loss plans and one or two additional fat-busting solutions, Global Life Rejuvenation provides access to new, innovative supplements and medicines. If you're used to fad diets and "quick" weight loss plans, peptides like AOD 9604 and others may be new to you. To help build your foundation of healthy living knowledge, let's take a look at a few of the most popular weight-loss peptides and medicines available at Global Life Rejuvenation.
Often combined with Semaglutide regimens, AOD 9604 is known to promote fat breakdown, inhibit lipogenesis, and support tendons and cartilage. However, most recently, it has gained popularity due to its ability to boost metabolism and aid in burning fat.
What sets AOD 9604 apart is that it stimulates the pituitary gland without affecting tissue growth or blood sugar levels. Additionally, it can burn fat without causing overeating, making it a viable option for obese men and women who are trying to implement better eating habits.
Interestingly, AOD 9604 activates your body's fat-burning processes without requiring an HGH receptor. It also releases obese fat cells and reduces the accumulation of new fat cells. By helping to regulate blood sugar and manage insulin levels, AOD 9604 is excellent for weight loss but also for other maladies like inflammation.
Some conditions that this powerful peptide can help address include the following:
This medical weight loss supplement Is technically a combo of two peptides. These substances work by stimulating your pituitary gland to produce more of your body's natural human growth hormone, which is secreted during both waking and sleeping periods.
This results in increased protein synthesis and levels of insulin-like growth factors. As hormone secretagogues, they help release hormones into circulation while mimicking the pituitary gland's production. Extensive research has been conducted on the effects of CJC 1295 and Ipamorelin. As a tool for medical weight loss, it has shown very promising results.
That's because when growth hormone levels increase, nutrients are transported through the body faster, more fat is burned, and weight management becomes simpler. Additionally, because CJC 1295 and Ipamorelin increase the amount of growth hormone in your body, it stimulates the breakdown of triglycerides in adipocytes, leading to improved fat metabolism and reduced abdominal fat.
Benefits of CJC 1295 and Ipamorelin for weight loss include:
A Methionine Inositol Choline (MIC) injection is a mixture of lipotropics that aid in fat breakdown. The key components - methionine, inositol, and choline - work together to metabolize fat cells and eliminate stored fat deposits in the liver and body. Methionine is an important amino acid, inositol contributes to proper cell formation, and choline is a water-soluble nutrient that promotes healthy liver function. When combined, these compounds may help reduce body fat.
When used in conjunction with a medical weight loss plan from Global Life Rejuvenation, MIC injections can be a powerful addition to reclaiming your health and wellbeing.
Request AppointmentLike other weight loss peptides and medicines on this page, Phentermine can help you lose weight when you stick to a medical weight loss plan that includes dieting, exercise, and smart life choices. It does so by reducing your appetite, which limits the number of calories you eat every day.
As is the case with Semaglutide, Phentermine has been approved by the FDA and is supported by clinical studies that show it can support weight loss. With time, patience, and healthy living, this supplement may help you reach your wellness goals sooner than you thought possible.
Request AppointmentIn the body, 7-keto-DHEA is produced from dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which is a hormone made by glands near your kidneys. However, unlike DHEA, 7-keto-DHEA is not converted into androgen and estrogen in your body. Instead, 7-keto-DHEA is used orally or topically to boost your body's metabolism. It also helps convert more of your energy into heat, instead of storing it in your body as fat, which can accumulate with time and lifestyle choices.
Much like Semaglutide treatment in Bergenfield, NJ, 7-keto-DHEA has been shown to be very effective for weight loss as well as a host of other issues. Additional benefits of taking 7-keto-DHEA may include the following:
Have you tried everything under the sun to try and eliminate the cellulite on your legs, arms, and other areas of your body? If you're like most people, getting rid of cellulite isn't just difficult - it's nearly impossible. Fortunately, those days are over. Lipo Sculpt Cream from Global Life Rejuvenation can help reduce the unsightly appearance of cellulite while also refining your figure and firming up your skin.
The active ingredients in this product have the ability to reduce and prevent the growth of fatty tissue while also improving microcirculation. They work together to treat both adipose and aqueous cellulite, and aid in the elimination of fatty deposits and excess water stored in the tissues. This results in a reduction of dimples and an overall improvement in the appearance of your skin.
If you have experienced success with a medical weight loss plan and reached your target weight but still suffer from cellulite, Lipo Sculpt Cream is a fantastic choice to consider. A few of the most common benefits include:

After six years, Zai’s Dessertery, a macaron bakery that began life in Dumont and then moved to Bergenfield, has closed.
The bakery, owned by Zainab Illyas, a native of Sri Lanka, announced its closing on social media.
In 2020, the business was doing so well that a second, smaller location opened in Cresskill and soon after another on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. All are now closed.
"I really tried," Illyas said on her Instagram post. "I gave myself and my business a second chance but after 6 years of being in business with many losses, especially from the other two locations and going through too many downs than ups. I decided it’s time for me to move on."
She went on to say that the business was sold to "some friends, who will be taking over the space and running their own Café and Bakery."
Illyas could not be reached for comment.
The mother of three was quite active on social media. Indeed, she often could be seen dancing — the merengue, free-form, slow — in her Bergenfield bakery, wearing her customary black hijab and black chef's coat. Sometimes she'd use baking equipment as pretend instruments.
"I love to dance," she has told The Record. "And people love the posts. They tell me I'm an inspiration to them."
A self-taught baker, Illyas sold her popular macarons, as well as bubble waffles, homemade crepes, and a wide selection of cupcakes and specialty coffees.
Fans wished her well on Instagram as they lamented the closing.
"We will miss your joy and delicious treats!" wrote one fan. "We love you and can't wait to see the next chapter of your story."
"You brought such joy as well as delicious sweets... What a great legacy. Wishing you well in the next chapter," wrote another.
Still another: "We all love you Zai. You have the best food and you truly were incredible."
Zai's was located at 108 North Washington Ave., Bergenfield.
...
"A name that a shame never has been connected with."
That's Harrigan — according to the old George M. Cohan song. Though it might just as easily be Murphy, Kelly, O'Brien, Ryan, Byrne, O'Connor, Walsh, O'Sullivan, McCarthy, Doyle — the 10 most common Irish surnames, according to IrishCentral.
Names — no less than music, poetry, shamrocks and soda bread — are part of the Irish legacy in this country. And rest assured that those names will be well represented at the 42nd Annual Bergen County St. Patrick's Day Parade, kicking off 2 p.m. on Sunday March 10 in Bergenfield, hosted by the city's Council of Irish Associations of Greater Bergen County.
"You just run into so many people growing up named Murphy," said Brian Murphy, one of this year's parade marshals. "Everyone would always ask me if I was related to this Murphy, or that."
This year, once again, the parade will launch 2 p.m. from South Washington Avenue and East Englewood Avenue in Bergenfield.
This year, again, it will travel north up Washington Avenue for one mile, ending up at St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church. (You can watch the parade in person, or live on northjersey.com/watchparade, where we will livestream it. There's also a QR code with this story that will take you right to the video).
And as always, the fun and music will continue afterwards at Tommy Fox's Public House on South Washington Avenue.
Once again, you'll see green derbies, green bowties, green beer, green hair, green costumed leprechauns, green-accessorized dogs and babies.
Once again, there will be vintage cars ahh-OOO-gah-ing down the street, courtesy of Restored Rusty Relics Antique Auto Club.
Once again there will be the grand old tunes — "Garryowen," "Dawning of the Day," "The Minstrel Boy" — played by the grand old masters: the Bergenfield High School Marching Band, The New Milford High School Marching Knights, The River Dell Marching Band, The Dumont High School Marching Band, Rockland County Firefighters Pipes and Drums, Tri-County Irish War Pipe Band, Bergen County Firefighters Pipe Band, Clan Na Vale, Fusion Core, Police Pipes and Drums of Bergen County, The Bergen Irish Pipe Band, and Ninemile House.
Once again, newcomers will mingle with the old lineup: The Academy of the Holy Angels Gaelic society from Demarest, and the Ramapo Saints Youth Hockey Club. And leading the parade, a brand new set of grand marshals: Sally and John Roche of Bogota.
And once again, there will be the names. Always, the names.
Irish names have history, tradition, and pride — above all, pride — connected with them. They are names of places, names of saints, sometimes transliterations of Gaelic words with specific associations.
O'Connor, for instance. From the Gaelic "Ó Conchobhair" — "descendant of Conchobhar," meaning "lover of hounds." An important Irish clan.
"There's a great sense of pride, definitely, around our name," said Maureen O'Connor of Clifton, who wouldn't dream of missing the Bergenfield parade this year (for one thing, her brother James — a Cullen — is a volunteer helping to organize).
"We had a shield in our house, a family crest, with the name O'Connor, and where it came from," she said. "My father was very proud of being an O'Connor."
The O'Connor roll of honor is an illustrious one. From Sinéad to Flannery to Donald to Sandra Day, the list is long. That's the one drawback to any popular surname. You have to share.
"There are a lot of O'Connors," she said. "There used to be a Facebook page just for Maureen O'Connors. There were a couple of hundred women on the page."
O'Connor is a common name in Galway, where her father Morgan was from — though it's even more associated with County Kerry, she said. "There were a lot of O'Connors where he was from," she said. She herself married an O'Riordan, and her two children, Bridget and Owen, dropped the "O." They are Riordans.
But what's one O'Connor, more or less — when the county is swimming in them?
"There was another Maureen O'Connor growing up in Dumont, and she was a year younger than me," she recalled. "She only lived a couple of blocks away from me. She was a very bright student. One day I came home to some mail that was for 'Maureen O'Connor.' Two of the letters were almost full scholarships — one to Seton Hall, and I forget what the other school was. I had to go to the high school and tell them they had the wrong Maureen O'Connor."
And her sister didn't have it any better.
Her name was Eileen O'Connor. The other Maureen O'Connor also had a sister named Eileen O'Connor.
It all comes with the territory — especially in this part of Bergen County.
"In Bergenfield, Dumont, New Milford there's always been a big Irish population," O'Connor said.
Which means there are also a lot of Murphys.
The name has its roots in the Gaelic "Ó Murchadha." That's "descendant of the sea warrior" to you.
It's such a quintessentially Irish name that it's almost become shorthand. "Murphys," in 19th century England, were potatoes. A popular song of the same era asked, "Who Put the Overalls in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder?" And if you want to let people know you're a Celtic punk band, what better name than The Dropkick Murphys?
And then there are all the celebrity Murphys who keep the name green: Eddie Murphy, Cillian Murphy, Brittany Murphy, Audie Murphy.
"It's like being part of a little club," said Murphy, a Westwood resident. "Its a funny thing about having a name that's so common. I grew up in Dumont, and I lived on a street with only 13 houses, and on that street there were three different Murphy families. None of them related."
He himself is a first generation American — his parents were both from Ireland — so he's unlikely to be kin to any of the American Murphys who periodically ask if he's their long-lost cousin. But he's proud to bequeath the family name to his wife, Christa Murphy (born a Maloney) and his children Emma Murphy, 14, and Charlie Murphy, 12.
"In her grammar school, there's another Emma Murphy in another grade," Murphy said. "[My daughter] was the older one. So they always had to say 'Emma Murphy, 6th grade, 'and 'Emma Murphy, 3rd grade' — or whatever it was."
Of course, it's possible to be Irish through and through, even with a less common name. A name like — oh, say — Spollen.
In her case, says Deirdre Spollen-LaRaia, president of the Council of Irish Associations of Greater Bergen County, which sponsors the annual Bergenfeild parade (both her parents are from Ireland), the first name more than makes up or it.
"Deirdre is a very, very common first name in Ireland, and also in the U.S.," she said. "And my two siblings are named Kathleen and Colleen. If that's not Irish, I don't know what is."
