Lincoln Hormone Replacement Therapy Services
Hormone Optimization and Restoration represent 21st century solutions to the way that we cope with aging and preserve health and wellness throughout the lifespan. Aging is complex, and we are years upon years away from recognizing the full range of mechanisms at play with regard to the aging process, but one thing has become increasingly clear after generations of research—Hormone Imbalance and Deficiency are key players in the aging process, and the depletion of our Hormone Levels hastens the physiological decline associated with aging.
At the Conscious Evolution Institute, we understand the role that Hormone Balance plays in health and wellness, and we specialize in Hormone Replacement Regimens that help our patients maintain their physiological well-being as they grow older, facilitating improved quality of life and, potentially, longevity. If you live in the Lincoln, Nebraska area, and are interested in the Hormone Therapies that we provide, we encourage you to give us a call at the number listed at the top of this page, or fill out the form to your right in order to arrange for a time to speak with a qualified Hormone Specialist that can answer any questions that you may have and arrange for an appointment with an HRT Doctor in Lincoln.
Lincoln Growth Hormone Injection Therapy for the Treatment of Age-Associated HGH Deficiency
Human Growth Hormone is one of the most vital hormones produced by the human body, and is released by the pituitary gland in order to regulate the body's metabolism at a cellular level. Early in life, Growth Hormone promotes the literal growth associated with childhood and puberty, but, as HGH Levels drop to levels associated with adulthood, the primary function of Human Growth Hormone is to maintain and facilitate normal and optimal function.
Beginning around 30 years of age, HGH Production falls into a state of permanent decline, which eventually prevent the body from adequately preserving and regenerating itself, leading to the chronic health decline of various organs and systems. HGH Injection Therapy can help mitigate the negative effects of this decline and help you live a healthier life.
Lincoln Sermorelin Acetate to Restore Healthy Pituitary Function
Along with Bio-Identical HGH, our Lincoln Hormone Clinic also offers Sermorelin Acetate, which has been shown to be just as effective in the treatment of Adult-Onset HGH Deficiency, if not moreso, than traditional Growth Hormone Shots. Sermorelin works by directly stimulating the brain to produce Human Growth Hormone, while also being appropriately mediated by other hormones in the body, including Somatostatins, which allow the body to produce the ideal amount of HGH that it needs, when it needs it, to meet the needs of the body. Sermorelin is cheaper than Human Growth Hormone, and allows for more natural biological rhythms, which makes it popular among many HRT Doctors and their patients.
Lincoln Testosterone Replacement Therapy for Age-Related Low-T and Andropause
Testosterone HRT is perhaps the most popular and common form of Hormone Replacement in America today, with millions of patients nationwide choosing the treatment in order to restore their sexual desire and potency. What most people don't realize is that Testosterone is not only the central component of sexual health, but it is also a key component of overall health and wellness as well. Men with Low-T are more likely to be overweight, diabetic, fatigued, and depressed, and are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular issues and complications such as hypertension, heart disease, and atherosclerosis. We can arrange for a Complete Metabolic Hormone Panel to be performed on your behalf in order to uncover your underlying Hormone Status and help you decide if Testosterone Patches, Creams, or Injections are the right choice for you.

All About Lincoln, Nebraska Geographic Area
The City of Lincoln is the capital and the second-most populous city of the US state of Nebraska, after Omaha. Lincoln is also the county seat of Lancaster County and the home of the University of Nebraska. Lincoln's 2010 Census population was 258,379.
Lincoln was founded in 1856 as the village of Lancaster, and became the county seat of the newly created Lancaster County in 1859. The capital of Nebraska Territory had been Omaha since the creation of the territory in 1854; however, most of the territory's population lived south of the Platte River. After much of the territory south of the Platte considered annexation to Kansas, the legislature voted to move the capital south of the river and as far west as possible. The village of Lancaster was chosen, in part due to the salt flats and marshes.
Omaha interests attempted to derail the move by having Lancaster renamed after the recently assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. Many of the people south of the river had been sympathetic to the Confederate cause in the recently concluded Civil War, and it was assumed that the legislature would not pass the measure if the future capital were named after Lincoln. The ploy did not work, as Lancaster was renamed Lincoln and became the state capital upon Nebraska's admission to the Union on March 1, 1867. The choice to name the capital city "Lincoln" caused quite a stir among constituents, whose sentiments were mixed regarding who should have won the Civil War.
In 2008 Lincoln had been topping the CDC list of healthiest U.S. cities.
Lincoln is located at 40 °48 a²35 a³N 96 °40 a²31 a³W / 40.80972 °N 96.67528 °W / 40.80972; -96.67528 (40.809868, na96.675345). According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 90.36 square miles (234.03 km ²), of which, 89.11 square miles (230.8 km ²) of it is land and 1.25 square miles (3.23 km ²) is water. 74.6 square miles (193 km2) of it is land and 0.7 square miles (1.8 km2) of it (0.98%) is water.
Lincoln is one of the few large cities of Nebraska not located along either the Platte River or the Missouri River. The city was originally laid out near Salt Creek and among the nearly flat saline wetlands of northern Lancaster County. The city's growth over the years has led to development of the surrounding land, much of which is composed of gently rolling hills. In recent years, Lincoln's northward growth has encroached on the habitat of the endangered Salt Creek tiger beetle.
The Lincoln metropolitan area consists of Lancaster County and Seward County, which was added to the metropolitan area in 2003. Lincoln has very little development outside its city limits and has no contiguous suburbs (the largest town that can be considered a suburb of Lincoln is Waverly.) This is due primarily to the fact that most land that would otherwise be developed as a suburban town has already been annexed by the city of Lincoln itself.
Lincoln has an extensive park system, with over 125 individual parks. The largest parks in Lincoln's park system are Wilderness Park, Pioneers Park and Pioneers Park Nature Center, Holmes Park, Oak Lake Park, Max E.

Snow tends to fall in light amounts, though blizzards are possible. Snow cover is not very reliable due to both the dryness and the frequent thaws during winter.
