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. However, for some men, aging is a horrible prospect, filled with chronic fatigue, irritability, and inability to perform in the bedroom.

Now, you have the tools to do so - backed by science and applied by our team of TRT and HRT experts with more than 13 years of experience.
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 Dumont, FL.
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 Dumont, FL, 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 Dumont, FL, 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!

PNC is shuttering another 30 branches across its footprint, according to a new round of regulatory filings.
While three are in Pennsylvania, those pending closures are in the eastern part of the commonwealth and the 10-county Pittsburgh metro isn’t affected this time.
It takes disclosed locations PNC is cutting so far this year to 126. That easily beats 105 during the first half of 2022. Moreover, the 30 will close on May 19, so it's possible that additional pruning could happen before June 30. PNC has not said how many branches it expects to close in 2023, nationally or locally. And it continues to add branches, though these are outpaced by cuts.
Pittsburgh-based PNC Financial Services Group Inc. (NYSE:PNC) is the nation’s sixth-largest bank by assets and No. 1 in southwestern Pennsylvania by deposit market share.
Like most banks, it has been revising branch locations due to evolving customer preferences and overlap from acquisitions for more than a decade.
At present, PNC has around 2,600 branches nationwide. About 100 are in the Pittsburgh region.
Home turf has not been untouched in 2023. PNC shuttered three South Hills branches and consolidated them into a newly built office at 3701 Saw Mill Run Blvd. in January. It is also closing two branches — one at Duquesne University within Pittsburgh, the other at 100 Grant St. in Vandergrift — on March 17.
The 30 closures impact nine states. New Jersey has 11 on the chopping block, and 10 of those are in-store branches. Two of the Pennsylvania sites are located within supermarkets.
The other affected states are Florida, Missouri, Illinois, Texas, Ohio, Alabama and Michigan.
PNC, which confirmed the filings, provided the following statement:
“PNC recognizes that branches continue to play an important role for many customers when it comes to conducting certain transactions and holding important in-person financial conversations with our banking experts, which is why we routinely evaluate our branch network, together with our other available methods of banking, to determine if we are most effectively meeting our customers’ needs. After a careful review of our business model, PNC’s strategic goals and the potential impact to our customers, the decision was made to close the locations listed. We remain committed to delivering on our purpose to move all forward financially, and we are confident that we can meet or exceed our customers’ needs at nearby branch locations, alongside other available methods of banking."
PNC told the Business Times last July that it would close 135 in-store branches in waves during 2023, chiefly in New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. This started in January. The majority, or 127, are inside Giant Foods and Stop & Shop stores. Another eight will close within ShopRite grocery stores in certain areas of Pennsylvania. None of these are in the Pittsburgh region. Since filings list a mix of in-store and regular branches, PNC has a way to go toward its goal.
Here are the 30 locations PNC is closing next, according to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The OCC said the applications were filed by PNC on Feb. 17. Astericks indicate in-store branches.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Fighting Illini fifth-year senior golfers Adrien Dumont de Chassart and Tommy Kuhl have each been named to the 2023 Ben Hogan Award Watch List, as announced Friday (Jan. 27) by the Hogan Trophy Award Foundation, the Friends of Golf (FOG) and the Golf Coaches Associa...
FORT WORTH, Texas -- Fighting Illini fifth-year senior golfers Adrien Dumont de Chassart and Tommy Kuhl have each been named to the 2023 Ben Hogan Award Watch List, as announced Friday (Jan. 27) by the Hogan Trophy Award Foundation, the Friends of Golf (FOG) and the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).
The Illini duo is among 37 collegiate golfers named to the watch list for the prestigious award, and Illinois is one of just nine schools to have multiple golfers on the watch list, joining Florida, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Pepperdine, Tennessee, Texas, Texas Tech and Vanderbilt.
Dumont de Chassart, the reigning two-time Big Ten Player of the Year, continued his stellar play to open the 2022-23 season in the fall. The native of Villers la Ville, Belgium, opened the year with a tie for second at the OFCC/Fighting Illini Invitational (Sept. 16-18), followed by a tie for third at the Folds of Honor Collegiate (Sept. 26-28). He closed out the early season with a tie for 14th at the Dayton Flyer Invitational (Oct. 17-18), and an 11-place finish at the Isleworth Collegiate (Oct. 23-25). Dumont de Chassart has also risen up the PGA Tour University rankings, ascending from an initial ranking of No. 7 to sit at No. 5 in the most recent release.
Kuhl has also continued a hot streak that dates back to last season when he closed as the Illini's top finisher at the NCAA New Haven Regional and narrowly missed an individual berth to the NCAA Championship. This fall, Kuhl, a 2022 All-Big Ten first team honoree from Morton, Ill., opened the year with three-consecutive top five finishes; he recorded a solo fifth at Olympia Fields, followed by a tie for fifth at the Folds of Honor and a share of fourth at the Dayton Flyer Invite, both Illinois team wins. He closed the Illini's fall slate with a tie for 15th at Isleworth. Kuhl is currently 30th in the PGA Tour University rankings.
Through 12 fall rounds, each of the veteran golfers has posted eight rounds of par or better, and sit in a tie for the team lead with a season stoke average of 70.9. In October, both were also named to the Haskins Award watch list. Kuhl is currently ranked No. 10 nationally, just ahead of Dumont de Chassart at No. 13 in the latest Golfstat NCAA player rankings released Nov. 15.
The Ben Hogan Award presented by PNC Bank annually awards the top men's NCAA Division I, II or III, NAIA or NJCAA college golfer based on all collegiate, amateur and professional events over the previous 12 months. The Ben Hogan Award Selection Committee, which votes during each stage of the process, is comprised of 30 leaders in collegiate, amateur and professional golf.
This year's list of 10 semifinalists, which could include individuals not on the watch list, will be unveiled Friday, April 14. That group will be pared down to three finalists on Thursday, May 4. The finalists will attend a black-tie dinner Monday, May 22, at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, where the winner will be crowned.

WINDERMERE, Fla. – Fighting Illini fifth-year senior Adrien Dumont de Chassart carded a top-10 score to pace the No. 9 Fighting Illini in Sunday's opening round of the Isleworth Collegiate at Isleworth Golf and Country Club.
Dumont de Chassart was the lone Illini to shoot under par on Day 1 of the three-day event. Starting off No. 10 today, he carded an opening 70 (-2) to sit in a tie for 10th place, overcoming a pair off mid-round bogeys on 16 and 18 that turned his 3-under start through his first six holes in a 1-under at the turn. On the front, however, he posted eight straight pars before closing with a birdie on No. 9 to move to 2-under, four strokes off the pace of Round 1 leader Alex Vogelsong of Auburn.
Overall, however, the Illini did not put forth their best effort and will look to respond over the remaining 36 holes.
"Today was not our best," head coach Mike Small said. "Throughout the season, teams have days like this. We'll learn a lot about ourselves these next couple of days, and see what our bounce-back mentality level looks like."
Behind Dumont de Chassart, fellow fifth-year seniors Matthis Besard and Tommy Kuhl are tied for 23rd and tied for 28th, respectively. Besard carded a 73 (+1) to sit one stroke ahead of Kuhl.
Junior Piercen Hunt, who claimed his first collegiate victory last year at the 2021 Isleworth Collegiate, had an up-and-down day with four birdies, five bogey and a pair of double-bogeys contributing to an opening round of 77 (+5). He is tied for 50th, three shots ahead of sophomore Jackson Buchanan (80), who is tied for 67th in the 78-player field.
As a team, the Illini are tied for 10th with an opening round tally of 294 (+6). No. 3 Auburn sits alone atop the leaderboard at 15-under with a 13 stroke cushion over No. 11 Florida in second place at 286 (-2). Co-host UCF is third at even-par 288, followed by No. 28 LSU (289) and No. 42 Purdue (291) to round out the top five of the team standings with two rounds remaining.
Round 2 is set to tee off Monday morning with tee times beginning at 8 a.m. ET/7 a.m. CT. The Illini, paired with the Minnesota and No. 31 North Florida, will once again start on No. 10 beginning at 8:25 a.m. ET/7:25 a.m. CT. Live scoring is available throughout the tournament at Golfstat.com.

OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. – The No. 11 Fighting Illini men's golf team made a strong push to challenge for the team title during Sunday's final round at Olympia Fields Country Club. However, despite a pair of top-five individual finishes from fifth-year seniors Adrien Dumont de Chassart (T-2nd) and Tommy Kuhl (5th), the Orange and Blue were unable to fully overcome a late-second-round swoon, finishing in a tie for second behind 15th-ranked Stanford.
"Well, it's a tough finish to a solid tournament," head coach Mike Small said. "To come in and finish second in this field is a solid week. But we were really in position to win this thing and I think we lost our momentum yesterday afternoon. The way we finished yesterday, giving up eight or nine shots to fall behind, was a big deficit to overcome. We cut into it, and had the lead with nine holes to go; we were playing pretty well, but the same thing happened as yesterday and we just couldn't close it out."
As a team, the Illini stormed out of the gate to open Sunday's final round, with the five-man lineup combining to shoot 3-under on the front nine, and 5-under through the first 11 holes. The result was the Illini momentarily regaining the lead as the final pairings made the turn.
From that point on, however, the team was 10-over, allowing Stanford to close out the 12-stroke win with a 54-hole total of 831 (-9). No. 3-ranked Florida closed with the second-lowest round of the day to tie the Illini at 843 (+3) for the tournament. No. 5 Arizona State slid one stroke back of the Illini and Gators to place fourth, while (RV) Alabama finished at 850 (+10) for a distant fifth-place finish.
"We got beat at our own game this week," added Small. "We pride ourselves on playing solid golf and not making unforced errors, and Stanford did that today. Us and Arizona State faltered toward the end, and the tough golf course got us. We need to figure out, individually and as a team, how we can sustain ourselves through some adversity, through some nervousness, and close out these tournaments.
"The first round was as good as it gets, and today for the first 11 or 12 holes, it was as good as anybody in the country. The potential is there, but we need to clean things up and be able to play all 54 holes."
Dumont de Chassart, who led after Rounds 1 and 2, slid one spot down the individual leaderboard with a closing 72 for a three-round total of 204 (-6). Florida's Ricky Castillo jumped two spots, carding three-consecutive rounds of 68, to tie Dumont de Chassart for second. Neither, however, was able to catch the Cardinal's Michael Thorbjornsen who closed with a 66 to jump from sixth to claim the one-shot win.
"For a player to shoot 66 to come back and beat Adrien ... I know you can't play defense; sometimes someone just comes and beats you," Small said. "I know that Adrien's got a few wins still to come. He's going to win a few times this year, in my opinion. But you can't play defense, so hats off to Michael Thorbjornsen from Stanford. Overall though, two top five individual finishes is good. We just need to continue to work on that depth throughout the lineup."
Kuhl's fifth-place finish marked the best of his career at the OFCC, while his 206 (-4) established a career-best 54-hole tally for the Morton, Ill., native.
Behind Kuhl, Matthis Besard was the only Illini to close tied for 26th in his debut with the Illini. Besard, who opened with a 69 on Friday, bounced back from shooting 6-over in Round 2 with a closing round of even-par 70 to finish at 215 (+5). Junior Piercen Hunt tied for 43rd in the 78-player field at 219 (+9), while sophomore Jackson Buchanan tied for 50th at 221 (+11). Seniors Jerry Ji (226) and Nico Lang (229) were also in action, competing as individuals, and finished tied for 68th and ties for 72nd, respectively.
UP NEXT The Illini travel to Grand Haven, Mich., to compete in the Folds of Honor Collegiate hosted by Michigan State and the GCAA at American Dunes Golf Club, Sept. 26-28.
