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 Peapack, 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 Peapack, 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 Peapack, 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!

The Women’s Association of Morristown Medical Center has announced its 17th Mansion in May Designer Showhouse and Gardens at Blairsden, the largest estate ever built in the beautiful Somerset Hills, located in Peapack-Gladstone. Blairsden, once the magnificent country home of New York financier, C. Ledyard Blair, will once again open its doors to the public as the Mansion in May for 2014.
Mansion in May is the signature fundraiser for the Women’s Association of Morristown Medical Center, having generated more than $8 million for Morristown Medical Center since 1974. The association announced their “One Big House, Two Great Causes for Kids” campaign as proceeds from Mansion in May 2014 at Blairsden will benefit an expanded Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and a new Autism Center at the Goryeb Children’s Hospital located at the Morristown Medical Center. These expanded facilities will help provide all children who come to the facility, the best care they can receive anywhere in the country.
Designed and constructed between 1898 and 1903, Blairsden, a 62,000-square-foot Louis XIV Chateau-style mansion, was the masterpiece of the renowned architecture firm of Carrere and Hastings, who also designed the New York Public Library, the Frick mansion in New York City, the U.S. Senate and House office buildings and several large mansions in Newport, Rhode Island.
C. Ledyard Blair, entrepreneur, sportsman and commodore of the New York Yacht Club, was the grandson of self-made multimillionaire, philanthropist and Princeton University benefactor, John Insley Blair, who made his fortune in mining and building much of American’s rail system. Blairsden, which sits atop 30 acres of opulent terraced gardens with magnificent views of New Jersey’s horse country, was built as a grand country retreat for C. Ledyard Blair and his family. It was the quintessential estate for entertaining guests and became a favorite destination of New York City’s elite during the Gilded Age.
Revisiting the elegance of yesteryear, Blairsden will be brought to life again through the design inspirations of over 40 of the metropolitan areas leading interior designers. Mansion in May will be open to the public May 1-31, 2014 and will be available for private tours and private events. Advanced tickets will be available online and at select local retail locations in early 2014.

— Recent accusations against Mayor William Horton about his connection to Matheny Medical Center and whether or not he instructed a zoning officer to illegally remove controversial signs from residential property have prompted the borough's council to seek advice from an outside consultant.
In a 38-page hand-delivered letter dated March 11, Peapack-Gladstone resident Ruth Williams — who said she was writing on behalf of herself and other "undisclosed clients" — accused the mayor of instructing the town's zoning officer to take down signs situated on her and her fellow Highland Avenue neighbors' private properties on Dec. 4.
Those signs read "Matheny, Please Withdraw Your Lawsuit" — referring to the medical center's $2 million lawsuit against the borough's land use board for rejecting its expansion plans onto Highland Avenue in 2011.
In her letter, Williams says she and her fellow neighbors had hoped people attending a Dec. 5 and 6 concert at the medical center would see the signs and "inform attendees of these events as to the ongoing litigation," she wrote.
But on Dec. 4, James Fania, the borough's zoning officer, was seen removing signs from multiple properties on the street, and "refused" to answer questions regarding who instructed him to remove the signs, she wrote.
Fania told residents that their signs were in violation of a land-use ordinance, but Williams asserted the signs were all placed on private property — out of of the designated right-of-way location.
Williams accuses Horton — whose wife sits on the board at Matheny — of having deep-seated roots to the medical center, and that his connections may have resulted in his directing Fania to remove the signs.
She also alleges Horton's connection to Matheny violates ethics law.
But in his own 15-page letter dated March 24, the mayor — calling her "a snake" — said her accusations had no merit and were "sheer nonsense."
Horton — who himself has recused himself to matters relating to Matheny — said he now considered himself "no longer bound by that recusal insofar as I deem it necessary to defend myself and my wife against the false, misleading and malicious allegations set forth in Ms. Williams' brief," he wrote.
Horton states Williams' letter was merely a 38-page intimidation tactic and attack on the borough council.
"It is well known, and fully disclosed, that my wife and I are enthusiastic supporters of Matheny and its mission, and care deeply for its patients, who are in many instances severely compromised both physically and mentally," he wrote. "In marked contrast, it is clear to me and no doubt to many other residents of this borough that Ms. Williams loathes Matheny and its mission, and has sought at every turn possible to inflict damage on that nationally acclaimed institution."
Horton goes on to state that he gave no instructions "of any kind" to remove signs on Highland Avenue. "While I was certainly aware of the signs, having attended Full Circle at Matheny with my wife, there were many family members, caregivers and employees present at Full Circle who were upset that the signs were posted up and down Highland Avenue," he said.
Horton, himself, is a Highland Avenue resident.
"While I considered the placing of the signs obnoxious and, on Ms. Williams' part, unprofessional, I took no action."
Horton goes on to outline portions of Williams' letter as "intentional infliction of emotional harm and damage to reputation." He also says that as a lawyer herself, Williams is bound by the Rules of Professional Conduct, which govern all attorneys.
"My wife and I will be conferring with counsel to discuss civil litigation for, among other causes of action, libel, slander, intentional infliction of emotional harm and intentional infliction of damage to reputation," he wrote. "I anticipate that such litigation will name, as defendants, Ms. Williams, her undisclosed "clients" and any others who assisted her in any aspect of her brief, and seek both compensatory and punitive damages."
At its March 26 meeting, the council attempted to decide whether to submit the matter to the state Department of Community Affairs, or conduct an investigation through an independent counsel, according to The Bernardsville News.
A motion to refer the matter to the DCA was defeated in a 3-3 vote, but a proposal to hire a special counsel to provide direction passed in a 6-0 vote, The Bernardsville News reported.
The hiring of a special counsel is scheduled to be on the agenda for the council's April 9 meeting at 7:30 p.m.

PEAPACK-GLADSTONE – The redevelopment of the estate that once belonged to the king of Morocco is, in the developer's words, "something unlike anything else that has ever been in Central Jersey.”
After delays caused by the pandemic, construction has begun on the hotel and spa near Ninety Acres restaurant on the historic Natirar estate, now being developed as Pendry Natirar, a luxury resort and residential community.
Plus, two of the 24 new luxury homes, with starting prices in the low $3 millions, to be built on the property are almost ready to be occupied.
In May 2020, developers said the entire project would be completed in 2021.
Natirar partnered with Pendry Hotels & Resorts, a luxury hospitality brand from Montage International, on the resort that’s amid 90 acres of greenery. Montage International is a luxury hospitality management company.
The remaining 400 acres of the estate adjacent to the North Branch of the Raritan River are a Somerset County park. Somerset County bought the 491-acre estate in 2003 for $22 million and leased 90 acres, including the mansion and adjacent buildings, to Bob Wojtowicz, Natirar founder and Warren Township resident. The rest of the property is parkland open to the public.
The hotel and spa will open in fall 2022 and will include 66 guestrooms and suites. Spa Pendry will include a fitness center, swimming pool, salon, retail boutique and 12 treatment rooms.
The new construction will attach to the circa-1912 Tudor-style mansion iconic to the property, which is also used as a private and corporate event venue.
Although the hotel and spa will be attached to the mansion on the west side, it’s not meant to recreate the ambiance of the mansion, said Wojtowicz.
“The architects and designers have always said to me since day one that it’s not the idea to try to copy the 109-year-old mansion that’s already there,” said Wojtowicz.
“We are purposely not designing something that will look like the brother or sister of the mansion, it is meant to be look like the cousin of the mansion. There is still some tweaking going on with the design team on the ultimate final look. It will look like it belongs next to the mansion but it won’t look like we put an addition on the mansion,” he continued.
The mansion was also expanded on the east side four years ago when it was renovated. At that time, 10,000 square feet – including a ballroom, conservatory and kitchen – were added.
The second floor of the mansion will be used for private and corporate events.
During construction, events will mostly continue at the mansion, although for a few months during the first quarter of 2022 the venue portion will be completely shut down. A landscape privacy wall, as well as an original brick wall, block construction to event guests.
“We definitely think having the guest rooms on the property will be very complementary for social events and corporate retreats,” said Wojtowicz. “We have a lot of people coming to weddings and visiting from out of town. Even if they’re local, a lot of people will want to stay so that they don’t have to travel after the event.”
Adjacent to the hotel and spa will be an activity center with an outdoor pool, another fitness center, personal training studios, game room, lounge, bar and cafe and children's center.
Plus there will be an outdoor recreation center offering activities to take full advantage of the estate, including hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, horseback riding and shooting.
In the meantime, the first two homes on private, gated street at Pendry Residences Natirar, Abby Road, are almost ready for their new owners to move in by August or September.
Construction is also underway on several more of the homes. By next spring, half are expected to be completed.
About a third of the homes are already sold. They range in size from the 2,900-plus-square-foot Farm Villas to the Estate Villas, which are up to 4,000 square feet and offer semi-custom home building.
The Estate Villas offer views of the countryside and the Farm Villas offer views of Natirar's 12-acre farm and some views of the countryside. The Farm Villas will also offer private access to the farm.
Now that the real estate market is booming, Pendry Natirar hotel construction is underway and two of the homes have been completed, interest has been stronger than ever, said Wojtowicz, especially among empty-nesters living locally.
“I think for a lot of people, with what’s going on in the real estate market, it’s an opportunity for them to think about selling their larger home and finding something that’s more suited to the way their life will be like going forward,” he said.
“What Pendry and Montage do at all of their resorts is create seamless, carefree living. You can enjoy all of the amenities of the property and you can leave your home for a week, a month or six months and everything will be looked after while you’re away. It’s a curated lifestyle that a lot of people are looking for,” he continued.
Development:Construction begins on luxury homes at Natirar estate
Pendry Residences Natirar have also collaborated with Delos, a wellness real estate technology company. The homes integrate Delos’ DARWIN Premier technology to create and maintain indoor environmental conditions to enhance health, well-being and performance by offering elements such as circadian lighting, water filtration and air quality monitoring.
Right now, only the Estate Villas have been released for sale. They have been primarily offered to friends and family within the local and New York City areas.
Ninety Acres, an upscale farm-to-table restaurant located on a 12-acre farm, was the first building to be developed on the property in 2009. The farm sources the restaurant’s organic vegetables, herbs, berries, lamb, pork and egg-laying chickens.

The restaurant did well during COVID-19, despite the challenges that all restaurants faced during the pandemic, said Wojtowicz.
“Once we were able to dine outside, we had a great season because we have a great property and great views,” he said. “We have a beautiful outdoor dining space in the back of the restaurant with a view of the farm.”
Ninety Acres is continuing to socially distance tables by six feet when possible. Due to the restaurant and cooking school's 10,000-square-foot space, Wojtowicz said it has been able to operate fairly closely to how it did prior to the pandemic.
