Breakthrough Medication Defeats the Constant Urges and Thoughts Of Food… Is Now Used by Thousands Of Patients Nationwide To Lose Weight Healthy And Fast! The newly released semaglutide prescription medication for weight loss, GLP-1, offers hope for patients who have struggled unsuccessfully to lose and keep weight off. In addition, the treatments offered through the Jersey Weight Loss Clinic provide a prescription medication alternative to more extreme weight loss options, such as bariatric surgery. More information can be located here: https://jerseyweightlossclinic.com Jersey Weight Loss Clinic has extended its no-obligation phone consultation service to advise weight loss patients on the new semaglutide prescription medication. The consultation provides more information about GLP-1, prequalifies patients and allows weight loss patients to receive expert guidance for their weight loss journey with semaglutide. Nearly one in three Americans is overweight, and two out of every five adults are classified as obese. Unfortunately, losing weight can be notoriously difficult, and long-term weight loss maintenance is only successful in 20% of cases, say NIH researchers. Custom-blended GLP-1 contains semaglutide, a naturally-occurring peptide that provides physiological help for weight loss. Semaglutide imitates a natural hormone that sends a message to the brain, providing a feeling of fullness. Reducing hunger […]

Hormones are one of the most important regulatory systems that exist in your body. They act as messengers, interacting with cells and organs to stimulate them into action. As we age, hormone production changes and imbalances can occur. Hormonal imbalances may occur when there is both too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream. These imbalances can happen to both men and women and can lead to a variety of symptoms that can affect our everyday lives. Because of their essential role in the body, even the smallest hormonal imbalance can cause side effects throughout the body. Low levels of testosterone in men can mean more than just a low sex drive or erectile dysfunction. Symptoms consistent with low testosterone are: Low sex drive Erectile Dysfunction (ED) Chronic fatigue Loss of muscle mass Increased body fat (especially in the waist area) Decreased bone mass Mood changes Lower mental capacity Depression Irritability Brain Fog A hormonal imbalance can also present a variety of symptoms in women including: Fatigue Night Sweats Hot flashes Decreased sex drive Weight gain Insomnia Irritability Anxiety Depression Cold hands and feet The good news? These symptoms do not have to be left untreated. BioTE […]

Dry Eye is a common disease that affects millions of Americans every year. It happens when your eyes don’t make enough healthy tears to stay lubricated. This can make you feel uncomfortable and can lead to vision problems. Symptoms to look out for include a dry, gritty or burning sensation in the eyes, redness, watery or teary eyes and mucus that make the eyes feel “glued shut” after sleeping. Many people also report the feeling of something in the eye or eyestrain/eye fatigue. Itching and light sensitivity may also occur and it is common that symptoms are worse later in the day. Aging is the highest factor for dry eyes. As people age, the production of tears decreases. Although it occurs in women and men, post-menopausal women are affected the most. Other causes of dry eye can include: Certain illnesses and medications Hormonal changes in women after menopause and during pregnancy Poor blinking habits while looking at screens for long periods of time Dry indoor environments Wearing contact lenses At Beyer Eye Associates can diagnose Dry Eye and evaluate other potential health issues such as autoimmune diseases Ie Sjogrens Disease. Dry eye is a chronic and progressive disease if left untreated. Treatment of Dry Eye is directed at wetting the eye, reducing inflammation, improving the work and home environments, […]

(BPT) – Plenty of things can make you sweat — hot weather on a summer day, strenuous physical activity or feeling stressed out. But why do you smell worse when you’re stressed compared to after a workout or an afternoon in the sun? What you may not know is that there are three different kinds of sweat — stress, heat and activity — and they come from different glands in your body. “Compared to heat and activity sweat (salt water that comes from eccrine glands), odor from stress sweat from the apocrine glands smells worse because it contains food for the bacteria on our skin,” said Dr. Maiysha D. Jones, Principal Scientist, North America Personal Care at Procter and Gamble. “When bacteria consume the fat and proteins in stress sweat, they produce foul-smelling gases that we perceive as body odor.” So what can you do to cut down on all three types of sweat, especially the smelliest stress sweat? Here are some tips to help you stay cool in the summer heat and conquer your stress so you can be at your best, no matter what you’re doing: Keep your cool while outside in the summer sun: As the temps […]

Traditionally, weight loss programs have focused on specific diets, exercise routines or calorie-counting plans. More recently, wellness centers and coaches have introduced behavioral approaches to weight loss. Although these methods can work, they’re not universally appropriate or successful for everyone. This can frustrate busy people who don’t have time to spend in the gym every day, or who are tired of denying themselves the foods they enjoy through dieting. Most Weight Loss Programs Don’t Work… We see—almost weekly—a new diet book, fitness or workout plan that promises to be the holy grail of weight loss. But many diets prove to be unhealthy in the end, such as high-fat, low-carb plans. They’re great for losing weight quickly, but staying on these diets long-term can sometimes be detrimental to your health. Even exercise plans aren’t a one-size- fits-all strategy that’s effective. Until now… Doctors Are Prescribing A Solution To Weight Loss That’s Proven To Work…. The FDA recently approved a medication that can be used for adult patients who are obese or are overweight with at least one weight-related condition(e.g. high blood pressure, type-2 diabetes, etc.). This medication has been used by doctors to help patients lose weight very successfully. This medication […]

(BPT) – Of all the things to love about spring — coming out of winter blues, seeing trees start to bud and flowers begin to bloom — another one is how it can help us re-focus on our health. Between the ability to spend stretches of time outside again, and a renewed sense of purpose as the days start to get longer, spring is the perfect time to reassess our health goals and take stock of how we’ve been doing since the start of the new year. One of the ways you can reprioritize your health is getting vaccinated against pneumococcal pneumonia. To help you understand your risk, Pfizer is sharing important information about pneumococcal pneumonia and the importance of vaccination. Pneumococcal pneumonia is a potentially serious bacterial lung disease that can disrupt your life for weeks and can even put you in the hospital or be life-threatening. If you’re 65 or older, or 19 or older with certain underlying medical conditions, like asthma, diabetes or chronic heart disease, you’re at increased risk and vaccination is one of the ways to help protect your health. People often think that pneumococcal pneumonia can only be caught in the winter or during […]

(BPT) – Throughout her life, Kim had no explanation for the recurrent, painful kidney stones she experienced. Growing up she and her doctors dismissed these stones and associated pain for other conditions like menstrual cramps and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It wasn’t until her sister Joy passed away from the same disease that Kim received answers in the form of an official diagnosis — Kim’s kidney stones were the result of a rare, inherited disease called primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1). Kidney stones are a hallmark symptom of PH1. However, many people who experience recurrent stones in adulthood or even one kidney stone as a child do not consider or investigate a root cause, which can lead to delayed diagnoses and further complications. After watching her sister’s progressive PH1 symptoms, Kim is determined to ensure her sister’s memory lives on by sharing PH1 education and her own disease journey. Here’s some information to know about PH1, including signs and symptoms, to better understand what to look for and when to potentially suspect this rare disease. What is PH1? PH1 causes an overproduction of oxalate — an unneeded waste product that cannot be broken down further — in the liver. Normally, […]

Pet parents know there are some things that cats shouldn’t eat. What they might not realize is that many more toxins than they know about are present in their cats’ environment. Food, medication, house plants and cleaning products can be dangerous to cats, but our feline friends could access them at any moment. To prevent poisoning in cats, pet parents should learn about toxic substances and the symptoms associated with them. When you’re more aware of your cat’s surroundings, you’re better equipped to seek medical help if poisoning does occur. Here are the most common household toxins to watch out for in your home. Ingredients in human food Cats are very curious creatures. If they find food, they might want to taste it. A cat may steal bits of food from plates and open containers while their owner is in another room. Some cats have also been known to rummage through trash bins and fish out discarded table scraps. In other cases, a pet parent or guest may inadvertently offer food that’s actually poisonous to cats. Cats can develop any number of symptoms from eating toxic food. The symptoms range from mild to life-threatening, and they depend on which toxin […]

(BPT) – Finding motivation on a Monday can be tough. However, there’s no greater motivator to get up and moving like having your canine companion by your side to help you take on Monday — and every day of the week — like a pro. Active dogs and their humans take challenges head-on, and when you consider the ways in which you’ll both benefit from being active together, and getting the fine-tuned nutrition necessary to help keep active dogs strong and energized, there’s no limit to what you can accomplish together. Tennis pro Venus Williams knows prioritizing her dog’s health through exercise is important to his longevity. “My dog Harry is such a huge part of my life. My dream is for him to have the longest life possible,” said Williams. “When I go to practice, he goes to practice. If I go to the gym, Harry goes to the gym.” To help pet parents get outside and move with their four-legged friends, Williams has teamed up with Purina Pro Plan Sport to take Monday motivation to a whole new level with the “Monday Like a Pro” Challenge. Every Monday through May 21, Venus and a group of content creators […]

(BPT) – When you think of autumn, you likely picture cozy fires, hot cocoa and piles of colorful leaves. While beautiful, this season can also pose certain dangers to your four-legged friends. During the fall, the days grow shorter, which means less daylight and visibility. As you get ready for fall weather and activities, check out these four tips for keeping your dog safe from light-up gear to wireless fences for dogs. 1. Take walks during the daytime During the warmer months, you may have gotten used to taking your furry friend out for walks in the early mornings or late afternoons. However, you’ll need to adjust your walk times so drivers can clearly see you and your dog when crossing the street. It may take time for you and your pup to adjust, but it’s the easiest way to keep both of you safe. 2. Invest in light-up and reflective gear If your schedule doesn’t allow you to switch up your walk times, you’ll need gear to make you visible to motorists. For your canine companion, invest in light-up LED collars and leashes that offer solid or flashing illumination in low light. Reflective collars and vests can be used […]

(BPT) – People will do anything for their dogs. But, they may not always know how to best care for them. When it comes to furry family members, nothing is higher on the priority list than building a happy and healthy lifestyle. From finding ways to bond, to ensuring your dogs have proper grooming, exercise and social routines, pet parents have the important responsibility of helping Fido thrive. Here are five ways to help your dog live a happier, healthier life. 1. Teach your dog new tricks. Dogs thrive on structure. Ensuring your dog understands basic commands is necessary to keep you, your dog and other dogs and people safe. Beyond that, new tricks are a great way to continue to teach your pup engagement and challenge them to keep their minds active. Once you’ve mastered “sit” and “stay,” try weaving in tougher tricks like fetching, exercise courses and the ever-challenging “stop, drop and roll.” However, three-fourths of pet owners believe they wouldn’t have been able to teach their dog any commands without using treats, according to a recent survey conducted by CLIF PET™. Reward your dog along the way with easy to tear treats like plant based jerky to […]
