California Hormone Replacement Therapy Services

Hormone Imbalance is a significant medical issue that many people don't consider as thoughtfully as they should. Do you feel that your body and mind are slowing down as you grow older, and do you want to do something about it?

The Conscious Evolution Institute can quickly and discreetly provide you with Physician-Monitored Hormone Replacement Therapy Solutions. We offer a number of plans and programs which have been proven to help improve the lives and wellness of millions across the United States and the World.

Testosterone Therapy in California

As we grow older, our hormone levels start to decline naturally as a result of age. Starting around the age of thirty, men can start to suffer from a decline in physical and sexual health resulting directly from Low-T. If you are experiencing a lack of sex drive or symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction, this could be the tip of the iceberg of a number of different medical problems which can have a significantly negative impact on your health and longevity.

Testosterone Deficiency can even impact female health! Especially in the areas of sexual and cardiovascular health.

HGH Replacement in California

Like Testosterone, Growth Hormone Levels also start to decline with age, to the great detriment of our health. HGH sustains the cellular metabolism of the body, feeding us energy and allowing our bodies to rebuild and rehabilitate. As HGH Levels drop, our body goes into physiological decline because it simply can't keep up with the demands of day-to-day life.

Bio-Identical Growth Hormone Injections can restore healthy adult HGH concentrations, giving the body the raw resources needed to amplify health and wellness and preserve the human body from the effects of premature aging.

Sermorelin Injections in California

Sermorelin is an alternative to Human Growth Hormone, which fulfills the same goal of mitigating the effects of Growth Hormone Deficiency. Rather than replace HGH directly, Sermorelin Acetate stimulates the body to produce more of this precious hormone, while the body still has the ability to regulate HGH Release to make sure that the body gets the optimal level of Growth Hormone.

California HCG Diet

For men and women that are looking for a way to effectively and quickly lose weight, the Conscious Evolution Institute offers HCG Injection Therapy, which, when combined with an effective and specifically-designed diet, encourages the body to rapidly burn fat while sustaining energy and limiting the sensation of hunger, making dieting much more manageable.

Major Metropolitan Areas of California

Los Angeles

Los Angeles California, also known as Tinseltown, the City of Angels, or simply L.A., is the largest metropolitan area in the state of California. The city is known for having a near-insurpassable level of glitz and glamor, and the city is probably most widely known around the world for Hollywood, the center of the global film world, where actors and directors come together to produce films with the largest budgets the world has ever seen.

The L.A. Metro is home to a number of different professional sports teams, such as the L.A. Lakers, the L.A. Clippers, and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Los Angeles is also home to the Dodgers, who moved to California from Brooklyn, New York in 1957.

San Francisco

San Francisco is widely considered one of the most unique cities in the United States, and is the second largest city in the state of California. In terms of raw diversity, there is probably no place in the United States more diverse than San Francisco, except for Queens New York. The culture of San Francisco is highly politically active and people aren't afraid to voice their concerns under any circumstances.

The city is also home to a number of pro sports teams including the San Francisco 49ers and the Giants. The Oakland Raiders, Golden State Warriors, and Oakland As play just across the San Francisco Bay. The most famous place in San Francisco is, by far, the Golden Gate Bridge, which connects San Francisco to the Golden Gate Recreational Area to the north of the city.

San Diego

San Diego is the third largest metro in the state of California, and is the furthest south of all of the major cities in the state, immediately bordering Mexico to the south. Immediately south of San Diego is Tijuana, Mexico, and beyond that is Baja California.

San Diego's economy is driven heavily by its United States Military Presence and its busy deep-water harbor. San Diego is actually the only city on the west coast which has a shipyard which builds military ships and submarines. San Diego is home to two professional sports teams, the San Diego Padres and the Chargers.

Riverside

Riverside is the largest inland metro area in California, and the fourth largest in the state. Although Riverside itself is relatively small in comparison to the other, larger cities of the state, Riverside is the key city in a highly populated region known as the Inland Empire. Other major cities include San Bernadino and Ontario, California.

Unlike most major metros in the state and the country, the Inland Empire represents a large number of cities that grew close and simultaneously, and Riverside also belongs to a census area known as the Greater Los Angeles Area, one of the largest in the country with more than 7 million people.

Sacramento

Sacramento is the fifth largest metro area in the state of California and is located inland about 85 miles northeast of San Francisco. The city is also the capital of California. Like San Francisco, Sacramento is hailed as a highly diverse city, and is frequently recognized as one of the most well-integrated cities in the United States.

Sacramento is home to a single professional sports team, the Sacramento Kings. The city also has a highly active rock culture, contributing artists such as Cake and the Deftones to the national scene. The city also has a large theatrical scene, including the Sacramento Ballet, the B-Street Theater, and the Sacramento Shakespeare Festival.

All About Concord, California Geographic Area

Concord (play /ËnkÉaÅokÉord/ KONG-kÉord; formerly Todos Santos) is the largest city in Contra Costa County, California, USA. At the 2010 census, the city had a population of 122,067. Founded in 1869 as the community of Todos Santos by Salvio Pacheco, the name was changed to Concord within months. The city is a major regional suburban East Bay center within the San Francisco Bay Area, and is 31 miles (50 km) east of San Francisco.

Concord is located at 37 °58 a²41 a³N 122 °01 a²52 a³W / 37.97806 °N 122.03111 °W / 37.97806; -122.03111. It is 29 miles (47 km) northeast of San Francisco, 22 miles (35 km) northeast from Oakland, 65 miles (105 km) southwest of Sacramento, and 51 miles (82 km) north of San Jose.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 30.5 square miles (79 km2), all of it land.

The focal point of downtown Concord is Todos Santos Plaza, which encompasses an entire city block and is known for its farmers market, free summer concerts, and large number of surrounding restaurants. Much of the area immediately around downtown has recently been redeveloped, with new high-density apartment and condominium projects to take advantage of the proximity to public transportation and the vibrant area surrounding the park. Despite this, some crime and homelessness remain issues in the downtown area.

To the north and east of downtown is the older residential area of Concord, with many homes dating back to before World War II. In the far northern edge of town is a primarily industrial area, dominated by the Tesoro Golden Eagle refinery (which is actually not located within city limits). The southeastern area of the city, centered along Clayton Road, is primarily residential and was mostly developed in the 1960s and 1970s. In the southwest area of the city is the primarily Latino neighborhood known as Four Corners, centered around the intersection of Monument Boulevard and Oak Grove Road.

Concord is bordered on the west by Pleasant Hill and the unincorporated community of Pacheco, on the south by Walnut Creek, on the southeast by Clayton, on the northeast by Pittsburg and the unincorporated community of Bay Point, and on the north by the unincorporated community of Clyde. Though it shares no border with Concord, Martinez (the county seat) is located almost immediately adjacent to Concord on the northwest.

Official data from the National Weather Service cooperative station in Concord shows average January temperatures are a maximum of 57.2 °F and a minimum of 41.6 °F. Average July temperatures are a maximum of 87.8 °F and a minimum of 58.2 °F. There are an average of 45.0 days with highs of 90 °F (32 °C) or higher and 3.8 days with lows of 32 °F (0 °C) or lower. The highest recorded temperature was 110 °F on July 23, 2006. The lowest record temperature was 24 °F on December 23, 1998.

Average annual precipitation is 18.31 inches, falling on an average of 57 days annually. The wettest year was 1995 with 26.62 inches and driest year was 2007 with 10.57 inches. The most rainfall in one month was 11.79 inches in December 2005, which included the 24-hour maximum rainfall of 3.95 inches on December 31.

The valleys north of Mount Diablo were inhabited by the Miwok people, who hunted elk and fished in the numerous streams flowing from the mountain into the San Francisco Bay. In 1772, Spanish explorers began to cross the area, but did not settle there. In 1834 the Mexican land grant Rancho Monte del Diablo at the base of Mount Diablo was granted to Salvio Pacheco (for whom the nearby town of Pacheco is named).

Concord was founded under the name of Todos Santos ("all saints"; a name still borne by the central city plaza and park between Willow Pass Road and Salvio Street), on the initiative of Pacheco in 1869. It achieved prominence in the 19th century as a result of most residents of Pacheco relocating to Concord to avoid the devastation of fire and flood which crippled Pacheco's formerly booming economy. Concord was incorporated on February 5, 1905.

The area around Concord in the surrounding Ygnacio and Clayton Valleys was a large agricultural area. Crops that were grown included grapes, walnuts, wheat, hay, and even tomatoes. The area to the east (site of the Concord Naval Weapons Station) was the site of a few enormous wheat ranches over 5,000 acres (20 km2), and was almost a sea of wheat all the way to the marshes bordering Suisun Bay. During Prohibition, many vineyards were removed and replaced with walnut orchards. The town of Cowell now incorporated into Concord, produced cement.

The first Concord post office opened in 1872.

The munitions on board a Navy cargo ship exploded while being loaded during World War II, resulting in the largest number of casualties among African Americans in any one incident during that war. On the evening of July 17, 1944 a massive explosion instantly killed 320 sailors, merchant seamen and civilians working at the pier. The blast was felt 30 miles away. A subsequent refusal by 258 black sailors to load any more ammunition was the beginning of the Navy's largest-ever mutiny trial in which 50 men were found guilty. Future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall sat in on most of the proceedings and declared that he saw a prejudiced court.

On the evening of December 23, 1985, two days before Christmas, a twin-engine Beechcraft Baron, executed a missed instrument approach procedure from an approach to runway 19R of Buchanan Airport. The airport had been closed a few hours earlier due to thick fog. F.A.A. regulations require a "missed approach" be declared if the pilot cannot visually see the runway from .25 miles (about .40 kilometers) from the end of the runway in instrument conditions (when the pilot cannot see the ground). The pilot, a student flying with an instructor, continued the approach a few hundred feet over the runway in the hope of finding a hole in the fog (it is common to find the fog a little thinner farther from the water). After failing to see the runway, he began the missed approach, which included a left turn over what would have been empty ground had it been done at the proper place. However he was about a mile farther down the runway and the turn now carried him into the Sunvalley Mall. The plane struck the roof of the building, killing the pilot and two passengers and seriously injuring 84 Christmas shoppers in the crowded mall below, mainly by spraying them with burning fuel. Four of the victims on the ground later died from their injuries. The accident brought increased local opposition to the airport, and caused Pacific Southwest Airlines to delay scheduled passenger service that had been planned for the new year.

To the north of the city of Concord is the Concord Naval Weapons Station, which was established in 1942. The station functioned as a World War II armament storage depot, supplying ships at Port Chicago. The Concord NWS supported war efforts during the Vietnam War and through the end of the Gulf War, processing and shipping out thousands of tons of material to Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

The station consists of two areas: the Inland Area (5,170 acres (21 km2)) which is within the Concord city limits, and Tidal Area (7,630 acres (31 km2)). Because of changes in military operations, parts of the Inland Area began to be mothballed and by 1999, the station had only a minimal contingent of military personnel. In 2007 the U.S. Federal Government announced that the inland portion of the Naval station will be closed. The Tidal area of the base is not scheduled for closure. The city is working on a reuse plan that may include developing the land while keeping a large portion for open-space and parks projects. The city has had many meetings on this subject and will continue to do so. Any plan for reuse is subject to approval by the Navy.

Until 1995 the city was the eastern terminus of the Concord line of Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) commuter train system; the line has since been extended eastward to Pittsburg/Bay Point.
