For men, getting older comes with its perks, like living life on their own terms and not having to "sweat the small stuff" day in and day out. At the same time, there are aspects of aging that men dread, like hormonal changes. Yes, you read that right – men, not just women, go through hormonal changes as they age. For men, the biggest change involves a drop in testosterone.
Lower levels of testosterone can wreak havoc on a male's mind and body and when left untreated, can result in symptoms like:
Those symptoms are concerning, but with testosterone replacement therapy and anti-aging medicine, many males improve their quality of life with age. The good news is that TRT and anti-aging meds aren't only reserved for "old guys." In fact, there's no magic age at which men should start thinking about hormone replacement therapy. Everyone's body is different, so if you're experiencing the above conditions in your mid-30s, TRT could be a viable solution when you consult with a doctor.
Testosterone is a crucial hormone for men and plays an important role throughout the male lifespan. Most of a male's testosterone is produced through the testicles. Also called the male sex hormone, testosterone starts playing its part during puberty.
When a male goes through puberty, testosterone helps males develop:
As boys turn to men and men grow older, testosterone levels deplete naturally. Sometimes, events like injuries and chronic health conditions like diabetes can lower testosterone levels. Unfortunately, when a man loses too much T, it results in hypogonadism. When this happens, the testosterone must be replaced, or the male will suffer from symptoms like muscle loss, low libido, and even depression.
TRT is exactly what it sounds like: a treatment option for men that replaces testosterone so that your body regulates hormones properly and restores balance to your life. Also called androgen replacement therapy, TRT alleviates the symptoms that men experience with low T.
Originally lab-synthesized in 1935, testosterone has grown in popularity since it was produced. Today, TRT and other testosterone treatments are among the most popular prescriptions in the U.S.
Without getting too deep into the science, TRT works by giving your body the essential testosterone it needs to function correctly. As the primary androgen for both males and females, testosterone impacts many of the body's natural processes – especially those needed for overall health. For example, men with low T are more prone to serious problems like cardiovascular disease and even type-2 diabetes.
When your body quits making enough testosterone, it causes your health to suffer until a solution is presented. That's where TRT and anti-aging medicine for men can help. TRT helps balance your hormones and replenish your depleted testosterone. With time, your body will begin to heal, and many symptoms like low libido and irritability begin to diminish.
For men, aging is the biggest contributor to lower testosterone levels, though there are other causes like obesity, drug abuse, testicular injuries, and certain prescribed medications. Sometimes, long-term health conditions like AIDS, cirrhosis of the liver, and kidney disease can lower testosterone levels.
When a man's testosterone levels drop significantly, it alters his body's ratio of estrogen and testosterone. Lower testosterone levels cause more abdominal fat, which in turn results in increased aromatase, which converts even more testosterone into estrogen.
If you're concerned that you might have low T, you're not alone. Millions of men in the U.S. feel the same way. The best way to find out if your testosterone is low is to get your levels tested.
For sustainable testosterone replacement therapy benefits, you must consult with hormone doctors and experts like those you can find at Global Life Rejuvenation. That way, you can find the root cause of your hormone problems, and our team can craft a personalized HRT plan tailored to your needs.
Are you used to blasting through a productive day and accomplishing all your daily goals? Do you find yourself losing muscle mass and the craving to be intimate with your partner? Does your partner complain about how irritable you have become? If you're not usually a curmudgeon, your body could be giving you a sign. It could be time to speak with a doctor about TRT and anti-aging medicine for men in Brass Castle, NJ.
If you're experiencing any of the following symptoms, you might be battling against low testosterone:
One of the most common reasons that men choose TRT is because they have lost that "spark" with their partner. It's not easy for a man to hear that they're not performing like they used to. Intimacy is a powerful part of any relationship. When a once-healthy sex life dwindles, it can cause serious relationship issues.
The good news is that low libido doesn't have to be a permanent problem. TRT and anti-aging medicines help revert hormone levels back into their normal range. When this happens, many men have a more enjoyable life full of intimacy and sex drive.
Weak erections – it's an uncomfortable subject for many men in the U.S. to talk about. It's even worse to experience first-hand. You're in the midst of an intimate moment, and you can't do your part. Despite being perfectly normal, many men put blame and shame upon themselves when they can't achieve an erection. And while the inability to perform sexually can be caused by poor diet, obesity, and chronic health conditions, low testosterone is often a contributing factor.
Fortunately, weak erections are a treatable condition. The best way to regain your confidence and ability in bed is to speak with your doctor. Once any underlying conditions are discovered, options like TRT may be the best course of treatment.
Hair Loss
Do you find it harder and harder to work out and lift weights in the gym? Are you having problems lifting heavy items that you once had no problem lifting?
Recent studies show that when men are inactive, they lose .5% of muscle strength every year, from ages 25 to 60. After 60, muscle loss doubles every decade. While some muscle loss is common as men age, a significant portion can be tied to low testosterone levels. When a man's T levels drop, so does his muscle mass.
Testosterone is a much-needed component used in gaining and retaining muscle mass. That's why many doctors prescribe TRT Brass Castle, NJ, for men having problems with strength. One recent study found that men who increased their testosterone levels using TRT gained as much as 2.5 pounds of muscle mass.
Whether your gym performance is lacking, or you can't lift heavy items like you used to, don't blame it all on age. You could be suffering from hypogonadism.
If you're like millions of other men in their late 20s and 30s, dealing with hair loss is a reality you don't want to face. Closely related to testosterone decline and hormone imbalances, hair loss is distressing for many men. This common symptom is often related to a derivative of testosterone called DHT. Excess amounts of DHT cause hair follicles to halt their production, causing follicles to die.
Because hair located at the front and crown is more sensitive to DHT, it grows slower than other follicles and eventually stops growing permanently. Thankfully, TRT and anti-aging treatments for men in Brass Castle, NJ, is now available to address hair loss for good.
While it's true that you can't change your genes, you can change the effects of low testosterone on your body. Whether you're suffering from thinning hair or hair loss across your entire head, TRT and other hormone therapies can stop hair loss and even reverse the process.
Also called "man boobs," gynecomastia is essentially the enlargement of male breast tissue. This increase in fatty tissue is often caused by hormonal imbalances and an increase in estrogen. For men, estrogen levels are elevated during andropause. Also called male menopause, andropause usually happens because of a lack of testosterone.
If you're a man between the ages of 40 and 55, and you're embarrassed by having large breasts, don't lose hope. TRT is a safe, effective way to eliminate the underlying cause of gynecomastia without invasive surgery. With a custom HRT and fitness program, you can bring your testosterone and estrogen levels back to normal before you know it.
Decreased energy was once considered a normal part of aging. Today, many doctors know better. Advances in technology and our understanding of testosterone show that low T and lack of energy often go hand-in-hand.
If you're struggling to enjoy activities like playing with your kids or hiking in a park due to lack of energy, it could be a sign of low T. Of course, getting tired is perfectly normal for any man. But if you're suffering from continual fatigue, a lack of enjoyment, or a decrease in energy, it might be time to speak with a doctor.
Whether you're having a tough time getting through your day or can't finish activities you used to love, TRT could help.
A study from 2011 showed that men who lose a week's worth of sleep can experience lowered testosterone levels – as much as 15%, according to experts. Additional research into the topic found almost 15% of workers only get five hours of sleep (or less) per night. These findings suggest that sleep loss negatively impacts T levels and wellbeing.
The bottom line is that men who have trouble sleeping often suffer from lower testosterone levels as a result. If you find yourself exhausted at the end of the day but toss and turn all night long, you might have low T.
TRT and anti-aging medicines can restore your T levels back to normal, which can help you sleep better with proper diet and exercise.
You're feeling down about everything, and there's no solid explanation for why you're in such a crummy mood. Your daily life is great and full of success, but you can't help but feel unexcited and unmotivated. If you're experiencing symptoms like these, you may be depressed – and it may stem from low testosterone.
A research study from Munich found that men with depression also commonly had low testosterone levels. This same study also found that depressed men had cortisol levels that were 67% higher than other men. Because higher cortisol levels lead to lower levels of testosterone, the chances of severe depression increase.
Depression is a very real disorder and should always be diagnosed and treated by your doctor. One treatment option gaining in popularity is TRT for depression. Studies show that when TRT is used to restore hormone levels, men enjoy a lighter, more improved mood. That's great news for men who are depressed and have not had success with other treatments like anti-depression medicines, which alter the brain's chemistry.
Ask anyone over the age of 50 how their memory is, and they'll tell you it wasn't what it used to be. Memory loss and lack of concentration occur naturally as we age – these aren't always signs of dementia or Alzheimer's.
However, what many men consider a symptom of age may be caused by low testosterone. A 2006 study found that males with low T levels performed poorly on cognitive skill tests. These results suggest that low testosterone may play a part in reducing cognitive ability. If you're having trouble staying on task or remembering what your schedule is for the day, it might not be due to your age. It might be because your testosterone levels are too low. If you're having trouble concentrating or remembering daily tasks, it could be time to talk to your doctor.
Why? The aforementioned study found that participating men experienced improved cognitive skills when using TRT.
Even though today's society is more inclusive of large people, few adults enjoy gaining weight as they age. Despite their best efforts, many men just can't shed the extra pounds around their midsections, increasing their risk of heart disease and cancer.
Often, male weight gain is caused by hormone imbalances that slow the metabolism and cause weight to pile on. This phase of life is called andropause and happens when there is a lack of testosterone in the body. Couple that with high cortisol levels, and you've got a recipe for flabby guts and double chins.
Fortunately, TRT treatments and physician-led weight loss programs can correct hormone imbalances and lead to healthy weight loss for men.
The benefits of hormone replacement therapy for men are numerous. TRT not only grants relief from low-T symptoms but can help give protection against age-related diseases. Additionally, doctors now recognize male testosterone as an important role in alleviating depression.
Some of the most exciting benefits of TRT can include:
Because men do not go through a specific period of hormonal changes like women do (called menopause), many doctors refer to "male menopause" as androgen decline. This is just another term for low testosterone, but like female menopause, the symptoms can be serious and affect your quality of life.
The best way to fight back against male menopause is with male HRT treatment from Global Life Rejuvenation. We provide the following HRT treatments for men:
Our treatment options are personalized for your body and are available as creams, gels, injectables, and implantable pellets. To find out if testosterone replacement therapy is safe for you, contact Global Life Rejuvenation today to schedule your comprehensive testing and anti-aging treatment consultation.
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.
Benefits of Sermorelin include:
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 is suitable for both men and women. It provides significant short and long-term benefits in age management therapies, boosting patients' overall health, wellbeing, and outlook on life. When growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland using Ipamorelin, clients report amazing benefits.
Some of those benefits include:
Whether you are considering our TRT services, HRT for women, or our growth hormone peptide services, we are here to help. The first step to turning back the hand of time starts by contacting Global Life Rejuvenation.
Our friendly, knowledgeable TRT and HRT experts can help answer your questions and walk you through our procedures. From there, we'll figure out which treatments are right for you. Before you know it, you'll be well on your way to looking and feeling better than you have in years!

Have you heard about the logging underway at Roaring Rock Park, the beautiful, 400-acre wooded preserve in Washington Township, Warren County? Much has been said lately about severe environmental damage that would result if the township’s “Forest Management Plan” (FMP) is enacted. Without stakeholder input, residents and environmental groups only recently heard about the FMP, although the process had been in development by the Township for at least five years. I initially thought it might be an opportunity to improve this woodlot. As an experienced, nationally-certified parks & recreation professional serving as land manager and agency head on municipal, county and state levels for 42 years, however, I found this FMP sorely lacking.
NJ Highlands Coalition representatives and I advised the township to limit logging to winter months to minimize erosion and soil compaction when the soil is frozen and the vegetation is dormant. They said they would reassess the situation and wouldn’t proceed without further study. We recommended the following FMP amendments: 1. Develop a forest restoration plan to replicate the existing eastern deciduous forest ecosystem. 2. Develop a strategy for addressing invasive plant species, which spread to fill in the holes after the trees fall. 3. Develop a deer management plan, as deer will decimate any native seedlings that manage to grow in those opened areas. A robust, fully funded restoration plan that includes invasive plant and deer management is absent from the FMP.
With experience operating deer management programs, I offered to assist the township in developing a no-cost and effective deer management plan. In addition, highly qualified experts from the NJ Highlands Coalition had offered to conduct - also at no charge - surveys of rare plants and wildlife species of special concern.
We warned the township that 10-foot-wide corridors would have to be cleared to accommodate the “skid steer” machinery used to drag out heavy tree trunks. The weight of the machinery and trees would compact the root systems of the flanking tress, and eventually cause their death. We reminded them that Brass Castle Creek is a Category 1 stream, worthy of the standard New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s 300-foot, activity-free buffer. It’s also one of only 36 exceptional waterways statewide designated with special regulations as Wild Trout Streams by the DEP, rated “excellent” and “optimal” to support the habitat of sensitive species like Brook Trout and Northern Two-lined Salamander.
I was shocked to see “Phase I” logging begin on June 2, the worst possible time of the year because spring and early summer is songbird nesting season. Trees with dozens, if not, hundreds of nests were toppled. It’s also when amphibians, reptiles and sensitive aquatic species emerge.
Now, conditions due to logging are horrendous. Multiple haul roads were cut, but no remediation was done to restore muddy road conditions. With heavy summer rain events, mud and silt will run unchecked into Brass Castle Creek.
The logger seems to care only about taking marketable logs off site, as all of the tree crowns are piled deeply on site, crushing forest floor habitat. Those piles of drying branches and leaves will add to the forest floor fuel load, compounding the risk of wildfire.
The evidence of critical destruction is apparent on the forest floor. My question to the Washington Township Committee, and indeed, the public who elected them is will you allow this tragedy to continue, or will you do the right thing by promoting reforestation and stopping further logging?
John G. Trontis is a former assistant director of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Parks & Forestry. He is a Certified Park and Recreation Professional and lives in Washington Township.

A path is cut through the woods where the vehicles drove. Large pieces of bark and debris litter the cleared lot across the street from a trailhead.
Logging has begun in a municipal park in Warren County.
Laura Oltman worries that trees not cut down and harvested may have been damaged, their root systems compressed. She described the effect of the work as “Route 78 through what was a really nice understory.”
“It’s hard for me to see how this qualifies as forest improvement,” she told a small rally of a dozen or so people Tuesday morning. They walked from one logging site to another, just a short distance up Brass Castle Road in Washington Township, where they continued to wave their signs — “Save Roaring Rock Township Park: No logging!” — in front of a pile of felled trees.
They don’t all live in Washington but they appreciate the woods of Roaring Rock, a forested tract of wooded land purchased by the township in 1999 for preservation and recreation.
The municipal government began its discussions on a forestry management plan in 2014, township administrator Peter DeBoer told lehighvalleylive.com. A plan was developed by Gracie & Harrigan Consulting Foresters and approved amid controversy earlier this year, with a few more recent amendments.
The 10-year plan -- the first phase is now being implemented -- cites a number of areas where trees were too dense or too old for healthy forest growth. It does not call for clear-cutting the forest but rather removing approximately 14 trees per acre, reducing the forest density by about 10%, according to an update posted this month on the township’s website.
This has not been done before in the township’s parks, and any part of the plan can be revisited, DeBoer said.
But those rallying on Tuesday said the plan may be more beneficial to loggers than the environment. They contend the township’s plan to let the forest naturally grow back needs more attention to managing deer and non-native invasive plant species, which can flourish and cause damage.
“The intent here is to grow and harvest trees, not protect a relatively healthy forest ecosystem,” said Zachary Cole, the outreach and education director at the New Jersey Highlands Coalition, an environmental advocacy group focused on natural resources in northern New Jersey’s Highlands region. (The environmental advocacy group is separate from the New Jersey Highlands Council, which is a government board established for the same reason.)
Cole said the Roaring Rock Park plan is a local example of a broader issue.
The coalition has criticized a number of forest stewardship bills before the state Legislature as “a coupling of conservation and contract logging” that make things easier for harvesting without adequately addressing threats to New Jersey forests.
“A sea change is coming in New Jersey,” he said. “As we better understand forests’ roles in determining our future with respect to climate change and natural resources, I really hope Washington Township remains true to its word and monitors this project very closely so they can terminate it as soon as possible and replace it with a management strategy that truly serves this forest for the ecological and human values it represents.”

WHITE TWP., N.J. - Jamie Learn towed a car out of the mud at Blood Moon Performance along Route 519 in White Township, a property he owns. This comes after heavy rain caused flooding in the area late Friday night.
"I drove down and saw it and it was whoa. It was just running water, mud, rocks, debris. It was bad," said Learn.
Blood Moon Performance owners Kevin Miele Jr. and Angelica Morrissey said they were in Hackettstown and came down to see what was happening.
"We just saw the water across the road and emergency lights and stuff and we went through one length of deep water and it was just too deep to get here," said Miele.
Miele tells us none of the cars or his business were damaged. Now they are working to get cars out of the mud.
"We absolutely have to get these cars out. We can't let them sit, you know you can't have moisture anywhere near a vehicle," said Morrissey.
Lomasons Glen Road nearby is blocked off with damage. Over on Brass Castle Road, off of Route 519, crews worked to remove rocks and debris.
Parts of the road buckled. Ken Gallaher's driveway washed away and is now being repaired.
"We've gone through hurricanes here; we've been here for 30 years. Nothing like this has ever happened," said Gallaher.
Outside of John Perez's home on Brass Castle Road, parts of the road and his driveway are damaged after the flooding. His son Sam said they were all watching a movie when his sister looked outside.
"Looks out the window and says oh my goodness, look at all that water, and it's just this big stream coming down," said Sam Perez.
The Perez's said water got in their basement and their cars are left sitting where they are.
"It'd be nice to get the cars out, but maybe Monday," said Perez.
"It's a pretty big mess," said Samuel Zmigrodski of K&A Paving Contractors.
Zmigrodski said he is working to repair a driveway that washed out at the intersection with Hazen Oxford Road.
"We've done some small water restorations from little pipe burst, but nothing in this area has this ever happened," said Zmigrodski.
Gallaher lives at the farm Zmigrodski is working on.
Gallaher said it could have been much worse.
"Just very thankful that we still have power. We still have our home, we have our cars. There are a lot of people less fortunate than us," said Gallaher.
"I've grown up here, born and raised. It's as bad as I've ever seen in 54 years," said state Sen. Doug Steinhardt.
Steinhardt said the county is assessing the damage. He tells us he spoke with Gov. Phil Murphy about it.
"The administration has been extremely helpful. We're trying to stay on top of it, get relief to as many of these families as we can," said Steinhardt.
Steinhardt tells us no injuries were reported. Many areas were left without power. JCP&L said crews have been working to make repairs.

Flooding caused a lane restriction during the Thursday evening rush hour on Interstate 78 in Lehigh County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation reported.
The flooding was reported about 5:45 p.m. on I-78 East between Exit 55 (Route 29-Cedar Crest Boulevard) and Exit 57 (Lehigh Street), PennDOT said. The department reported the flooding had subsided after about an hour and that the incident was cleared.
Thursday evening, two cars could be seen surrounded by water at Santee Road and Clifton Avenue in Bethlehem Township.
The National Weather Service at 7:21 p.m. Thursday issued a flash flood warning for an area including southern Lehigh County, in effect until 11:30 p.m.
“At 721 PM EDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated heavy rain falling and flooding occurring at Perkiomen Creek at East Greenville,” the warning stated. “Between 1 and 2 inches of rain have fallen. Additional rainfall amounts of 0.5 to 1 inch are possible in the warned area. Flash flooding is already occurring.”
A separate flood advisory was issued at 7:34 p.m. in effect until 10:45 p.m. for Bucks, Lehigh and Northampton counties in eastern Pennsylvania and Hunterdon, Warren and Sussex counties in northwestern New Jersey.
As of 5:34 p.m., 0.7 of an inch of rain had fallen at Lehigh Valley International Airport, the weather service said in its daily climate report. The record rainfall for the date was 0.71 of an inch, set in 1917.
“A cold front will pass through late this afternoon and this evening with the potential for a few thunderstorms with heavy downpours and gusty winds,” the weather service said in a hazardous weather outlook issued at 4:11 p.m. for a region encompassing the Lehigh Valley and other parts of eastern Pennsylvania, in addition to parts of New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.
Utility companies and their customers were also dealing with outages Thursday night, with PPL Electric Utilities as of 8:30 p.m. reporting 1,589 customers out in Lehigh County and 681 in Northampton County. FirstEnergy Corp.’s JCP&L was reporting around that time 349 outages in Warren County and 165 in Hunterdon County.
Most of the Lehigh County outages were in Whitehall Township, where emergency radio broadcasts indicated a tree had come down in the area of Mickley Road, damaging wires and other equipment.
The flooding was one of numerous problems Thursday on roads in and around the Lehigh Valley, including a fatal crash on Route 309 in Lehigh County’s Lynn Township and a jackknifed tractor-trailer crash that required immediate road repairs on Route 33 near I-78 in Northampton County.
