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 Miami Gardens, 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 Miami Gardens, 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 Miami Gardens, 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.

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!

At least 105 people are displaced after a fire engulfed dozens of units at a two-story apartment building in Miami Gardens Saturday morning.
No deaths have been reported.
More than 45 fire rescue units responded to a three-alarm blaze reported at 395 NW 177th St. around 10:30 a.m. Saturday.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Chief Raied “Ray” Jadallah said the crew had some “significant challenges with this fire.”
“First and foremost, we had numerous occupants that were still in their apartments with the raging fire,” he said. “Coupled with the fact that you can see around us, the wind was pushing relatively quick.
“So we had many personnel attempting to cut the roof, begin extinguishment of the fire from underneath the rooftop. We had personnel that were utilized to begin search and rescue efforts.”
The New World Condominium was built in 1968 and had 75 units. They were all damaged by the fire.
“Of those 75, we projected that approximately half were destroyed as a result of partial collapse of the roof coupled with water, smoke and fire damage,” Jadallah said.
Right now, officials are estimating that 105 people have been displaced, but that number could escalate.
“We believe many occupants are still at work and being notified. We are projecting about 150 to 200 [occupants will be impacted], but right now we are at 105 occupants,” Jadallah said Saturday afternoon.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava called the fire a “terrible tragedy” at a press conference set up near the New World apartments. “All of those affected have been rescued,” she said, “but unfortunately this is a very serious fire and it is not totally under control.”
Levine Cava said officials, including the county’s Homeless Trust, The Red Cross, police and fire departments, will work together to provide support to the residents whose apartments are damaged.
“Everyone here is gathered to support those affected,” she said. “All united to everything that we can in this time of need for these families who are suffering right now and not sure how they will be able to get back in [to their homes].”
Said Miami Gardens Mayor Rodney Harris: “A tragedy has taken place here in our city once again. But we are so excited that the community has come together to make sure that these people that are displaced right now will have all the resources they will possibly need to make their lives just a little bit easy.”
Ryan Logan, regional disaster officer for the American Red Cross in South Florida, said his team was notified around 11:30 a.m. that their team would be pressed for assistance.
“Our primary focus is to work with each individual resident to assess exactly what their needs are based off the incident,” Logan said. “We will work with each of those families to make sure we meet those needs whether it is food, clothing, shelter, prescription medications, etc.
“Our first step right now is making sure we can get them into some sort of safe, sanitary, secure location for the next 24 hours and then we will follow-up to start working on those longer term needs,” Logan said.
A search of Miami-Dade County records showed no code violations for 395 NW 177th St., but also didn’t show the 1968 building’s recertification, which should have occurred in 2008.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – An 11-story building in Miami Gardens that once housed up to 300 patients as the old Parkway West Regional Hospital, is finally coming down.
After being vacant for more than 20 years, the graffiti-riddled structure that’s been an eyesore just off the Golden Glades Interchange in Miami Gardens will soon disappear, thanks to a controlled demolition.
Miami-Dade County leaders expressed their excitement for the building to be demolished.
“It’s been a long time coming,” said Miami-Dade Commission Chairman Oliver Gilbert.
Alec Greenberg, of the BG Group, told Local 10 News that the hard hats and heavy machinery are already in place.
“We began by abating all of the asbestos in the structure and removing all of the interior finishes and we recently obtained our demolition permit from the city as well,” he said.
The process will start with this high-reach excavator that will carve away chunks of the building at a time, starting with the top and working its way down piece by piece and floor by floor until the structure is no more.
A special ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on-site Tuesday by city and county leaders, which symbolized the start of something new that will grow a half million square feet of convention hall space and a hotel.
The new site is expected to be made into a convention center with a hotel and wedding venue.
“(It’s) a destination for people to get married for people to have fun,” said an architect.
Miami Gardens Mayor Rodney Harris was asked by Local 10 News reporter Terrell Forney “What took so long?”
“I think we had to find the right people. We wanted to make sure they developed something special here,” Harris replied.
Architects are still finalizing the design, but visitors and residents will begin to notice a difference in a matter of days.
“This is going to be a unique facility and we’re looking forward to it coming up, prospering, and making our city one of the greatest cities in America,” said Harris.

Harbor Group International (HGI) is back on the prowl in South Florida, scooping up yet another multifamily asset after a string of purchases last year.

In June, the seller, Resia, formerly known as AHS Residential, completed the development at 2301 Northwest 167th Street, which faces the Palmetto Expressway. The community features five residential buildings, as well as an amenity center, across 14 acres.
“As the Miami MSA continues to experience strong in-migration, both outside of and within Florida, we see opportunity in submarkets such as Miami Gardens as residents seek well-located housing at an affordable price point,” Richard Litton, president of HGI, said in a statement.
Resia, an affiliate of Brazilian homebuilding company MRV, had bought the site for $9.5 million in 2019 and secured a $52.5 million construction loan from Bank of America in 2021, per property records. The property is now 75 percent leased and 69.5 percent occupied.
The sale netted Resia $47.6 million in net proceeds and $26.7 million in gross profit, according to MRV, which, as a publicly traded company, also disclosed the sale price. A representative for HGI declined to comment about the price.
HGI assumed Resia’s $64.9 million loan that Wells Fargo issued last year. The trade — which Cushman & Wakefield’s Robert Given and Troy Ballard brokered — equates to $269,000 per apartment.
The acquisition brings HGI’s Miami-Dade County portfolio to eight properties, comprising nearly 2,000 units. Last year, it paid over $400 million for Parkline Miami, a 816-unit complex in Downtown Miami, in one of South Florida’s largest deals of 2022. In another 2022 notable deal, it bought a 372-unit property in Brickell for $185 million.

MIAMI - Residents of a Miami Gardens of the New World Condo Apartments on NW177th Street, who lost everything when a fire heavily damaged it over the weekend, are upset and confused after learning they were no longer insured.
"Our insurance company canceled our insurance, as most people know because the 40-year certification was not done," according to the property manager.
She said the board chose not to go with it because it was too expensive to do the 40-year recertification. And the Board chose not to approve a special assessment.
After learning about this during a meeting with the property manager and the Red Cross, residents were very upset because their rent had just been raised.
"Six months ago, it was raised 6 months ago. I don't know that lady, I never met her, this is my first time meeting her," said one upset resident who heard from the property manager for the first time.
Others said they paid fees so they were confused as to why there was no insurance at the New World Condominiums Apartments at 395 N.W. 177th St.
"Once we pay the HOA fees, insurance is included in the HOA fees and we didn't have any insurance, we are not responsible for that. She is responsible for that, the gate has not been working, the garbage has not been picked up," said one angry resident.
Nearly 200 people are displaced,
Among them are Zorodzai Rukwasi and her husband Wesnerson Augustin and their son.
Rukwasi told CBS4's Peter D'Oench "The frustrating thing is we lost all our deposits and we were hoping to get them back and find something to start from but we are on zero. It is scary and today earlier it started kicking in that we are homeless. I don't know what we are going to do. We lost everything. Not only are we homeless but we lost everything."
Augustin said, "We were hoping to have somewhere to go from today but we have nowhere to go. And we are worried."
Miami Dade Fire Rescue was called to the apartment complex fire around 10:30 a.m. Saturday. Thick smoke billowed from the building as flames quickly spread across the second floor. Firefighters battled the blaze, but the windy conditions enhanced it, leading to a collapse of a majority of the roof.
At least 75 units were damaged, about half of them destroyed.
The Red Cross is providing assistance to those in need at the Betty T. Ferguson Recreation Center.
So far the Red Cross is housing 75 people and two pets and will do indefinitely.
Stephanie Wesseling, a Development Communications Manager with the Red Cross, said "We are going to be open for as long as someone needs a place to stay. That is a promise to residents who are displaced."
"Your heart goes out to them?" She was asked.
"Yes, absolutely," she said. "This is such a heart-wrenching disaster to experience. One thing people don't realize is that the Red Cross responds to 60,000 disasters a year."
Those not staying in their shelter can still go to the rec center for services, whether it's food, medical or mental health.
A spokeswoman for Miami-Dade Fire Rescue told CBS4 that due to the extent of the damage, the cause of the blaze was undetermined.
Peter D'Oench is a reporter for CBS4 News. He came to CBS4 from WKRN in Nashville.

MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - Help is coming to the families that have been displaced after they lost everything in a huge condo building fire on Saturday.
The assistance is coming to a Red Cross shelter in Miami Gardens from nonprofits, individuals and some pretty big companies.
“Like Santa Claus all over again,” said Reggie Knight, as he carried a bag of soccer balls.
Knight is not coming from the North Pole but Miami Gardens to lend a helping hand to neighbors that were burned out by a massive fire.
Walmart provided clothes and soccer balls for the families.
Denice Brown is with the non-partisan group Faith in Florida. She collected and distributed donations to some of her Miami Gardens neighbors.
“They’ve been ready for us since early today. We actually started bringing supplies. We’ve been back and fourth bringing supplies since 10 a.m.,” said Brown.
Rita Eizmendi-Garcia is one of those affected by the fire. She is staying with her husband and 7-year-old dog Perry at the Betty T. Ferguson community center set up by the Red Cross.
She said she is grateful for the help but anxious to get back to the New World Condominium Apartments at 395 NW 177 St., to see if there is anything left to salvage.
“It’s painful. It’s not just the material things like a TV. It’s the family photo albums, the birth of your son, items of sentimental value that are irreplaceable. They haven’t let us inside,” said Garcia.
Many who live at the condos and lost all or nearly everything, learned Monday that the building never got its 40-year recertification and hasn’t had insurance since November 2021.
A total of 39 people and four pets spent Monday night at the shelter, but there are other critical needs being met.
“You can come here for a warm meal, you can see our nurse, get medication refill, you can talk to our health counselor if you need help to process that traumatic experience,” said Stephanie Wesseling.
Knight said he’s helping out his friend Denise Haines of Faith in Florida.
He’s just happy he’s in a position to help.
“I know how it goes, I know how it goes. I’m OK, so I’m going to make sure everybody else is OK,” said Knight.
The Miami Dolphins provided lunch to everyone at the shelter.
The City of Miami Gardens councilwoman Shannan “Lady” Ighodaro will host the Seat 3 Fire Relief Donation Drive Powered by S.H.E.A.R., Inc. on Friday to assist those left homeless by the fire. Details are as follows:
The event is from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.Bunche Park15600 Bunche Park Dr. W.Miami Gardens, FL 33054For more information, contact [email protected] or(305) 622-8000 ext. 2708.
