Aging is inevitable, and for many, it signals the beginning of a new chapter - one where you cross off bucket list items and live life to the fullest, on your own terms.

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 Bridgeville, 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 Bridgeville, 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 Bridgeville, 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!

UPDATED – 04/03/23 – 10:40am – The National Weather Service has confirmed a tornado in the Bridgeville area during Saturday’s storm. The tornado occurred around 6pm causing damage in the Bridgeville, Greenwood and Ellendale areas and leaving one person dead in a collapsed home on Tuckers Road near Greenwood. The National Weather Service is still reviewing data for the Bridgeville storm – and several others in New Jersey – to come up with detailed information including the rating on the storm.
===========================
The Greenwood and Bridgeville areas were struck with severe storms just after 6 Saturday night – with multiple sightings of funnel clouds. Emergency personnel responded to reports of building collapses from either wind or trees. There were also wires down and thousands without power. The National Weather Service will do a preliminary storm survey in the Bridgeville/Ellendale area today – they will also survey areas in Burlington and Monmouth Counties in New Jersey where there were also severe thunderstorms on Saturday. The National Weather Service will have a final assessment later this evening.
Emergency personnel report there was one fatality related to last night’s weather. That person was found in a collapsed home on Tuckers Road southeast of Greenwood. Crews continue to survey the areas in and around the Greenwood-Bridgeville and Ellendale areas. Travel may be hampered by debris on and along the roadways in the areas affected by last night’s storm and possible tornado.
As severe weather moved through Sussex County last night – thousands of Delaware Electric Cooperative members were left without power. DEC officials reported about 20 broken utility poles and other damaged equipment from the storms and crews have worked throughout the night to restore power. They hope to have power restored to the remaining members this morning.
Just as the storms moved into Sussex County around 6pm, there was a report of a 98mph wind gust about 2 miles south southeast of Bridgeville. A second round of storms moved into the area after 8pm and while not as much of tornado event – this round of storms also brought damaging winds and rain – and more power outages and damage
Last night’s severe weather closed the Bay Bridge for several hours because of high winds. The bridge was closed just before 10pm in both directions. The bridge did reopen a couple of hours later.

WARREN COUNTY, NJ - Warren County has had areas prone to flooding before. This time, countywide it has caused multiple business closings, road closures and warnings from elected officials throughout the county that a State of Emergency has gone into effect.
Impacting more than just low-lying areas, a statement from the County said, "the risk of flooding is high throughout Warren County after recent rains, and residents are advised to stay home if possible."
Route 46 is closed and detoured in both directions east of Ramseyburg Road following a landslide in Knowlton Township, and numerous county and local roads also are washed out or flooded.

Due to recent rainfalls and the closing of numerous roads in Warren County, all transportation services for tomorrow (Monday, July 17, 2023) have been cancelled, including the Route 57 Shuttle service.
In a letter sent to Governor Phil Murphy, Senator Doug Steinhardt, noted he is a lifelong Warren County resident, and "we are one of a close-knit community, strong and resilient, but, the recent severe weather is testing the limits of that resiliency as communities throughout the County have been decimated by the storms. " Steinardt toured much of the County to see the devastation noting "words and pictures can't do justice to the harm these storms caused, and the added harm that lied ahead without swift and immediate action". Steinhardt requested a disaster designation for Warren County, as families homes have been lost, families are displaced and many County roads are impassable. The conditions he continued "County bridges and roadways are undermined so extensively that they will take years to repair.
“The past few days have brought unprecedented rain totals to Warren County. Warren County Administration, OEM and DPW staff have been working around the clock with our local and state partners to identify storm damage and provide life-saving assistance for those in need,” said Warren County Commissioner James R. Kern III, liaison for Public Safety.
“The next few days will provide a better picture of the total impact to our county as we stabilize, assess and quantify the extent of the infrastructure damage we have undergone. We are so grateful for our federal and state representatives, especially Congressman Tom Kean Jr. and state Senator Doug Steinhardt who have already provided assistance and been on scene to assess the damage,” Kern said.
Commissioner Director Lori Ciesla said, “Warren County is extremely grateful for all of the support of our State and Federal partners, and we have been in constant contact with Governor Phil Murphy’s office. The Governor will be onsite in Warren County tomorrow morning to review the damage, and Warren County looks forward to the State’s continued support as we address both our immediate and long-term needs.”
“Please follow official channels for further information and be smart if traveling,” Kern added. Below is a list from the County as of 4:15 pm of road closures in towns throughout Warren County.
Knowlton Township
In Knowlton, traffic will be detoured using I-80 after a landslide resulted in soil, stones, and trees covering Route 46 east of County Route 609/Ramseyburg Road. The state route is closed in both directions between Route 94/Portland-Columbia Toll Bridge and Manunka Chunk Road/Upper Serapta Road, according to the NJ Department of Transportation, and work to remove the debris and repair any damage to the roadway is ongoing. Route 46 is expected reopen tonight, NJDOT officials said.
The following detour is in place:
Route 46 eastbound detour:
• Traffic wishing to use Route 46 eastbound will be directed to use I-80 eastbound
Route 46 westbound detour:
• Traffic on Route 46 westbound will be directed to turn right on CR 519/Hope Bridgeville Road
• Follow Hope Bridgeville though the town of Hope
• Take the ramp to I-80 westbound
The precise timing of the work is subject to change due to weather or other factors. Motorists are encouraged to check NJDOT's traffic information website www.511nj.org for real-time travel information and for NJDOT news follow us on Twitter @NJDOT_info and on the NJDOT Facebook page.
The following County Routes are closed at this time (July 16, 2023, 1 p.m.):
Warren County residents are reminded that the situation is changing throughout the day. Once again, if you must drive, caution is advised but stay home if possible and check the route of your destination. In addition to flooding, there may be debris and trees impacting conditions.
Phillipsburg Councilman Lee Clark said, "It becomes increasingly necessary for municipalities to invest in climate resilient infrastructure as the severity of rainfall events are rising. Municipalities across New Jersey are experiencing higher levels of rain and dangerous flooding episodes each year, presenting a number of challenges and costs for residents. Phillipsburg, like many other municipalities across New Jersey, is combating increased flooding. With recent rain storms, we were fortunate to have been able to swiftly respond to the needs of our residents in addressing power outages, handling road closures, and carrying out emergency services thanks to our preparation and hardworking first responders. It's crucial for municipal leaders to work with both state and federal leaders to secure the necessary funding to implement these infrastructure projects. By working together and lending a helping hand, we can rise above the floods."
This is a developing story, with updates breaking from the Governor, Phil Murphy.

The National Weather Service continued its busy assessment of damage Monday from the weekend’s tornado outbreak, confirming a sixth twister struck Lower Bucks County April 1 like a joke from Mother Nature gone awry as a warm, sunny evening suddenly turned threatening and dark, sending thousands of residents to their basements.
On Monday evening, the National Weather Service confirmed there was one death related to a tornado that reached 140 mph in the Bridgeville-Ellendale area of Delaware around 6 p.m. Saturday. Winds were forceful enough to have blown six parked semitrailers along a driveway, and a two-story house collapsed after it slid off its foundation. Debris was recorded to have flown hundreds of yards due to the funnel cloud.
No further information was immediately available about the fatality. The ferocious tornado carved a 14.3 mile path. The only other tornado-related fatality in Delaware occurred in 1983, according to the weather service. The strongest tornado on record in Delaware struck on April 28, 1961, in New Castle.
But that was the first of a series of tornados that landed throughout the region on Saturday.
Investigators said the Bucks tornado emerged from a line of strong storms that moved through the county, snapping and uprooting trees. The cyclone emerged about 6:46 p.m. in Wrightstown Township near Swamp , continuing to tear down trees on the Bucks County Community College campus.
It blew off a roof facade of a strip mall in Newtown, with a continuous path of damage that ended near Newtown Cemetery.
Investigators had no further information on that tornado on Monday.
But another tornado roughed up multiple Burlington County towns rimming the Delaware River around the same time, packing 100 mph winds in a continuous path of destruction six miles long and 600 yards wide, while toppling hundreds of trees, downing power lines, and ripping roof shingles off homes.
The National Weather Service released the strength and path of that tornado, one of four others Saturday night that touched down from Delaware to the Shore, though no injuries were reported.
“I have never heard a wind like that, ever,” recalled Kristin Parry, of Riverton Road in Cinnaminson. “It was followed by a big boom, like a shotgun, and a loud snapping. It all happened so fast.”
Two large pine trees toppled on her front lawn, luckily away from the house, but tearing down power lines and contributing to power outages that left the area dark.

The tornado registered as an EF1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, meaning winds were in the range of 86 to 110 mph as it tore through Cinnaminson, Delran, and Moorestown. But high winds also ripped through Palmyra and Riverton. One is the lowest rating on the scale, which goes to five for tornadoes with winds over 200 mph.
That tornado and the others were the result of a strong line of thunderstorms that moved through western Burlington County about 7 p.m. Saturday.
The tornado touched down in Cinnaminson near Riverton Road and Woodside Lane, blew through neighboring Delran, and chugged through parts of Moorestown before it was over.
Mature trees throughout the communities were snapped like twigs and uprooted. The strongest wind damage occurred near Wynwood Drive and Locust Lane, where most of one roof of a single-family home was ripped off.
The tornado continued across U.S. Route 130, eventually growing to its greatest width of 634 yards as it crossed Haines Mill Road in Delran. It moved into Moorestown through the mostly wooded Esther Yanai Preserve but continued on causing damage to roof shingles to a home on Augusta Drive and snapping a utility pole on Centeron Road.
But damage continued in Palmyra and Riverton from an associated downburst that had peak winds of 90 to 100 mph.
The National Weather Service assessed other tornadoes that touched down in other parts of New Jersey, including Jackson, Ocean County, and Howell Township and Sea Girt in Monmouth County. A tornado was confirmed near Bridgeville, Del.
The tornado in Jackson reached 130 mph winds over a 2.1-mile path that was 200 yards wide about 7:24 p.m. Saturday. It plowed east, downing power lines, demolishing fences, flipping Dumpsters, and crushing small buildings. As it strengthened, it struck a new warehouse development, causing a metal roofing system to collapse. Dozens of trees were uprooted.

The jackpot remains the third largest in Mega Millions history and the fourth largest for a United States lottery (see charts below).
“Players are excited about the chance to win such a life-changing amount of money, so we’re certain that today and tomorrow will be busy days for our retailers," New Jersey Lottery Executive Director James Carey said in a release on Monday.
The numbers drawn on Friday, July 22, 2022 were: 14 - 40 - 60 - 64 - 66 and Megaball 16. The Megaplier was 3x. Friday's jackpot was $660 million.
While no one won it all, there were four million-dollar prize winners. Three tickets sold in New Jersey, New York and Delaware all matched the five white balls and had the Megaplier to win $3 million. In addition, a ticket sold in Virginia won $1 million.
The New Jersey $3 million ticket was sold at the Wawa on Oakshade Road in Vincentown. New York's winner was sold at Smokes 4 Less on Main Street in Fishkill and the Delaware winner at a Royal Farms in Bridgeville.
The $1 million Virginia ticket was purchased online at valottery.com by a Chesapeake resident.
The Mega Millions has not been won since April 15 when a ticket sold in Tennessee won $20 million – it was the second time in two drawings the jackpot was won.
Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot is at $119 million with a cash option of $69.2 million for Saturday night's drawing, according to the Powerball website.
Mega Millions drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. The cost is $2 per ticket, but you can add the Megaplier for $1, which will increase the amount of your potential prize up to five times the original prize (except for the jackpot).
Each player selects five numbers from 1 to 70 for the white balls and one number from 1 to 25 for the Mega Ball. However, you can also have the lottery machine generate a random Quick Pick for you.
Prizes vary from $2 for the matching the Mega Ball to $1 million for matching all five white balls (except in California) to the jackpot for matching all six balls. You can check all the prize payouts on the Mega Millions site here.
