Louisiana Low-T Treatments

Testosterone Deficiency is the most talked about form of Male Hormone Deficiency today, but most men still don't have a clear understanding of the impact that Low-T can have on a man's life. Everyone understands that Testosterone facilitates sexual activity, but far fewer people understand the long-term implications of Andropause (the clinical name for Age-Related Testosterone Deficiency).

Testosterone helps sustain the male body in peak shape and condition, and once Testosterone starts to lose its influence on the body, a number of symptoms can begin to manifest, including weight gain, anxiety, weakening muscles, increased cholesterol and triglycerides, slow metabolism, low libido, and sexual dysfunction.

The good news is that Testosterone Deficiency can be effectively treated with Testosterone Replacement Therapy! The Conscious Evolution Institute offers a number of forms of therapy, including Testosterone Topical Gels, Testosterone Injections, and Testosterone Patches.

Louisiana HGH Deficiency Treatments

Another form of Hormone Deficiency that effects both men and women is known as Age-Related HGH Deficiency (also known as somatopause). Human Growth Hormone is one of the most important hormones released by the human body, and after puberty, its primary purpose is to sustain optimal cellular metabolism.

So that means that HGH keeps us in peak condition. But around the age of thirty, our HGH Levels start to fade, which has a tremendous impact on our physiological condition over time. Growth Hormone Production drops at around 1-2% each year, at first unnoticeable, but eventually, undeniable.

Symptoms of HGH Deficiency include unhealthy changes in body composition, fatigue, loss of exercise capacity, depression, mood swings, memory and cognitive issues, reduced resistance to illness, and increased healing time from injury. Luckily, there are effective treatments for HGH Deficiency. The Conscious Evolution Institute offers both Sermorelin Acetate Therapy and HGH Injection Therapy, both are clinically proven to restore optimal Hormone Balance.

Louisiana HCG Injections

We also offer highly effective weight loss treatments, including HCG Weight Loss Therapy. Bio-Identical HCG is a medical treatment which has the ability to vastly improve the odds that your weight loss efforts are met with success.

When injected, HCG has a very unique effect upon the body. It encourages weight loss in three ways: It suppresses the sensation of hunger associated with a low-calorie diet, it directs the body to burn adipose fat tissue, and fat metabolism prevents the patient from struggling with fatigue.

If you are interested in HCG Therapy, we can help you lose 5 or more pounds each and every week!
