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 West Bradenton, 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 West Bradenton, 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 West Bradenton, 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!

BRADENTON, FL — Detwiler’s Farm Market is expanding with its sixth location in Sarasota and Manatee counties with plans for a new store to open in West Bradenton by the fall of this year.
The grocer signed a lease for the 49,000-square-foot anchor space in the Marketplace West shopping center at the corner of 53rd Avenue and 34th Street, according to a news release from the company.
The shopping plaza, owned by Benderson Development, will be renamed Detwiler’s Marketplace.
The brand, which is family owned and operated, got its start in 2002 as a roadside produce stand. Today, the Detwiler’s chain currently has three brick-and-mortar locations in Sarasota, as well as stores in Venice and Palmetto.
The store on Palmer Boulevard in Sarasota remains closed because of damages caused by Hurricane Ian, according to the company website.
Now, the company has set its sights on its newest location.
“Another 49,000-square-foot Detwiler’s is coming to the Bradenton area,” Sam Detwiler said in a video. “So super stoked. We got a lot of cool stuff. We’re working on floor plans.”
His father, Henry Detwiler, Sr., said, “We’re also excited about being able to bring the Farm Market here to West Bradenton. We know we already have served some of you, but we hope to be able to do a better job.”
The father and son teased to this Detwiler’s location having some new offerings.
“Lots of produce, lots of meat, seafood. I grew up a butcher, so I’m always excited about what we do in meat, but also, then, have sole lots and lots of producer,” Henry said. “I think this time, maybe, we’re gonna do a little bit better job with our deli and bakery. We want that to be big and nice.”
Sam added, “We have a few things maybe up our sleeves at this store; maybe some new departments coming; some things we kind of want to add to our Farm Market experience. I don’t want to release it yet because it may not happen.”
The company previously hoped to expand with a sixth store several years ago, but their plans were set back because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sam added. “I think our company is ready for another step and we’re super stoked that we’re able to reach a deal. We can’t wait to shape that Winn Dixie front to a new Detwiler’s barn.”

A bloom of the toxic algae known as red tide continues on the Southwest Florida coast this week as spring break season gets underway on area beaches.
Reports of dead fish and respiratory irritation came in from Pinellas, Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee and Collier counties over the last seven days, a red tide update from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said.
Red tide is caused by Karenia brevis, a single-celled organism that is found in the Gulf of Mexico. High concentrations of K. brevis cells, called blooms, release toxins that can kill fish and other marine life and cause respiratory issues for people.
Patchy drifts of red tide algae have remained present along Florida’s west coast since October.
Conditions at local beaches vary day to day and week to week depending on the location and strength of the algae, as well as wind and tidal conditions.
Several online resources can help you check if your favorite beach is being impacted by red tide.
NOAA’s Red Tide Respiratory Forecast is updated several times a day with the level of red tide risk at specific beaches along the Gulf Coast, from Pinellas County through Collier County. Visit habforecast.gcoos.org.
Mote Marine Laboratory’s Beach Conditions Report is updated frequently by lifeguards and includes reports of red tide conditions, including respiratory irritation and dead fish, as well as other hazards on local beaches. Visit visitbeaches.org.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission issues weekly red tide reports with conditions by county and maintains a map of red tide sampling around the state. Visit myfwc.com/research/redtide/statewide.
University of South Florida’s Red Tide Prediction and Tracking center provides short-term forecasts of red tide’s movement around Tampa Bay and the west coast of Florida. Visit ocgweb.marine.usf.edu/hab_tracking.
Tampa Bay area: Red tide conditions worsened along Pinellas County’s shoreline this week, where bloom concentrations were detected at multiple beaches from Redington Beach south to Mullet Key. Levels were lowest near northern beaches around Clearwater and Dunedin, but respiratory irritation was reported along the entire coast.
Manatee County and Anna Maria Island: Very low and low levels of K. brevis were detected around Anna Maria Island in state water samples collected on Monday — a decrease from last week. However, breathing irritation and dead fish were still being reported at beaches around the island on Thursday.
Sarasota County: Along Sarasota County’s coast, red tide levels ranged from very low to medium this week. Many dead fish and moderate to intense breathing irritation were reported by lifeguards at several beaches, including Lido Beach and Siesta Key.
Southwest Florida: Red tide algae was also found at varying levels offshore of Charlotte, Lee, Collier and Monroe counties this week. Southern Lee and northern Collier had the worst, with high concentrations found on both coasts.
University of South Florida’s short-term red tide forecast predicts that red tide’s presence on the coast will continue over the weekend. Manatee County and Anna Maria Island are expected to have the lowest levels of red tide, while medium to high levels could persist in Pinellas, Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee and Collier counties.
NOAA warns of a moderate to high risk of respiratory irritation over the next 36 hours in Pinellas, Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee and Collier. Possible respiratory irritation is anticipated when the wind is blowing onshore in Manatee and Monroe counties.

The Bradenton Herald regularly reports on local restaurants that don’t pass inspection by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation or otherwise raise concern due to food safety and cleanliness issues.
But over the past several years, readers have frequently asked which restaurants have done well during inspectors’ visits, too.
Passing inspection without flaw is no easy feat. Florida bases its inspection standards on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Food Code, which contains many, many possible violations. These Bradenton-area restaurants did more than pass their regular state inspection — they aced it.

If you enjoy Major-League Baseball, you’re in the perfect place. The Tampa Bay area is one of the prime spots for spring training.
Most MLB teams will report to sites in Florida and Arizona around Valentine’s Day and full-squad workouts begin shortly thereafter. The Tampa Bay area, a key spring-training hub for decades, features eight teams within an hour’s drive of Westchase.
For the uninitiated, here’s a primer:
What is spring training?
It’s the annual training ground for MLB teams in warm-weather sites — about two weeks of practices before a month’s work of exhibition games in March. In the opening weeks, the big-league workouts could include 70 to 80 players, but the rosters will eventually be whittled down to 26 for Opening Day. The rest of the players will be assigned to minor-league teams.
What can I see at spring workouts?
Most workouts begin daily at 10 a.m. There’s the non-exciting stuff like stretching and running, but you’ll also spot pitchers throwing bullpen sessions and hitters taking batting practice. You’ll see a concentration on fundamentals, such as pitchers learning to cover first base and hitters practicing their bunting. You might get lucky and take in a full-squad scrimmage, which is like a practice game.
Why should I go to spring workouts?
Well, admission is FREE. It’s a chance to bask in the sunshine and enjoy a cool outdoor activity. Best of all, you could score autographs and photos with some big-name players (and unknown players as well). The best part of spring training is the casual atmosphere. Players and coaches are usually relaxed and accessible. Hard-core fans relish the opportunity to interact with their baseball heroes in a setting that is much different than the all-business regular season.
How can I get those autographs and photos?
You’ll quickly learn the protocol. You won’t be the only one with this idea. Just assemble near the area where the players are leaving the workout. It’s always best to have your own pen and paper or baseball card where the player can sign. Use common sense. Players appreciate patience and good manners. They also respond better if you address them by name instead of shouting out, “Hey, No. 20! Can you sign my cap?’’
Where do I go?
Here are the Tampa Bay area’s spring-training sites:
What else do I need?
It’s probably wise to bring some sunscreen and bottled water (although most spring-training sites have food and drink for sale, along with a flurry of memorabilia and merchandise).
Want to meet a future Hall of Famer? Want to check out a hotshot rookie player before he makes it big? Want to get your baseball cards signed or make some unforgettable memories with your family?
Head to spring training.
It’s a Tampa Bay tradition.

LAKEWOOD RANCH − Scott Paravicini is going home for a second time.
Paravicini was named the head football coach at Lakewood Ranch High on Friday, according to Mustangs director of athletics Kent Ringquist.
A former player at Lakewood Ranch, Paravicini also served as an assistant coach for the Mustangs for three seasons, two under Mick Koczersut and one under Christopher Culton.
WEST MOVES TO TIGERSPalmetto hires former Lakewood Ranch coach Rashad West as its football coach
CLARK GOES TO BULLSParrish Community High hires former Southeast High assistant as new football coach
MANATEE ASSISTANT NOW A SAILORSailors hire Manatee High defensive coordinator Phillips as new coach
“Obviously, it wasn’t something I had on my radar because I didn’t think it would be open,” Paravicini said. “When it opened, I thought logistically out of any place that is going to come open in Manatee County, this is the one that makes the most sense.”
Paravicini comes to Lakewood Ranch from Bradenton Christian School, where he was the head coach for one season and an assistant coach for three seasons under Greg Williford.
“Today was the first day I got a chance to talk to the team and that was something that I stressed to them,” Paravicini said. “I’m 11 years - that sounds like a long time to me now - removed from graduation from Lakewood Ranch, it’s really not that long.”
The Panthers went 2-7 in Paracivini’s lone season as coach. In addition to football, he coached the girls and boys weightlifting teams at Bradenton Christian School.
“I can’t say enough good things about BCS,” Paravicini said. “The opportunity they gave me: I got to coordinate. I got to be a head football coach. I got to start the weightlifting programs. We had some real success with the girls weightlifting team. They gave me an opportunity to do a lot of things. I was able to accomplish some things as far as developing a weightlifting program.
“I’m very grateful for my time there.”
Lakewood Ranch went 6-4 last year and narrowly missed the playoffs as an at-large team via the Florida High School Athletic Association power points system.
Being a 4 Suburban school, Paravicini will have a few more players to work with than with the smaller Panthers.
“You can’t take anything away from the kids at BCS because they work hard,” Paravicini said. “I am excited to have time to work a full practice on stuff defensively and offensively instead of having to split their time based on the number of kids.”
A linebacker for the Mustangs, Paravicini went on to play collegiately at Warner University in Lake Wales.
“Yesterday (Thursday) was, in terms of my professional life, it was definitely one of the toughest days in that realm,” said Paravicini, who has a tentative start date of teaching at Lakewood Ranch after spring break. “There were definitely a lot of tears and a lot of conversations that were tough to have. It was a tough day.”
Paravicini is the fourth new coach in the area and second to move from one area school to another. Rashad West went from Lakewood Ranch to Palmetto High.
Other new coaches are Dylan Clark at Parrish Community and Josh Phillips at Sarasota High.
Now, Bradenton Christian has an opening for a football coach. Panthers director of athletics Cole Hudson issued the following statement:
Bradenton Christian School would like to thank Scott Paravicini for his time and efforts as our head football and weightlifting coach. Coach Paravicini accomplished great things for both programs in hisfour years at BCS. We wish Coach Paravicini the best in his future endeavors.
A search committee will be assembled to conduct the hiring of our next head varsity football coach. Weanticipate officially opening the position here shortly, as we will cast a wide net to hire the bestcandidate to lead our student/athletes and football program to a Championship level.
We currently have open teaching positions on campus.https://www.bcspanthers.org/about-us/employment-opportunities
If interested, please send an updated resume and letter of interest to Director of Athletics Cole [email protected]
