Virginia Hormone Replacement Therapy Services

The Conscious Evolution Institute specializes in medical treatments designed to restore hormone balance in order to help you live a healthier life. Many of the medical issues that we face that are often attributed to the aging process are actually the result of changes in hormone production which hinder our ability to live the lives that we want to live.

Low-T Treatments in Virginia

Do you feel like your sexual performance isn't up to snuff lately? If you are over the age of thirty, you may be suffering from a condition known as Andropause, which limits your ability to engage in happy and healthy sexual activity. The Conscious Evolution Institute can get you back on the right track and get you back to your peak sexual condition.

Testosterone Deficiency also has a negative impact on your health and wellness, and is associated with a number of health conditions that can increase your mortality risk and negative impact your quality of life, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

HGH Therapy in Virginia

Testosterone Deficiency is not the only age-related problem that can impact the lives of men and women. Human Growth Hormone Deficiency can also powerfully degrade human health and wellness. HGH is responsible for sustaining the optimal rate of cellular metabolism, and many physicians argue that Hormone Imbalance is one of the core causes of aging.

If you are suffering from symptoms associated with HGH Deficiency, including fatigue, foggy memory, lack of focus, and changes in body composition, Physician-Monitored, Bio-Identical HGH Therapy can restore your body's natural and youthful hormone balance to improve your life.

Sermorelin Therapy in Virginia

If you are interested in alternatives to Bio-Identical Growth Hormone, you may be interested in Sermorelin Acetate Therapy. This form of treatment provides similar results to HGH Injections, but sustains the optimal function of the pituitary. The Conscious Evolution Institute can help you decide which treatment is best for your health and your budget.

HCG Services in Virginia

Another treatment that we provide at the Conscious Evolution Institute is HCG Therapy for Weight Loss. If you are having major issues losing weight, or you are just looking for an effective method to help you shave off a few pounds, HCG Injections combined with a specialized nutrition plan can help you burn off those extra pounds safely and swiftly.

Major Cities in the State of Virginia

Virginia Beach

Virginia Beach is the largest city in the state of Virginia, located where the southern portion of the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean meet. Virginia Beach also has the distinction of having the Guinness Record for the longest designed pleasure beach on earth. Virginia Beach has a highly diverse economy, with an emphasis on both tourism and military occupations. The city also has a large agriculture sector.

The entire region, which includes Newport News, Chesapeake, and Norfolk, is often referred to as America's First Region. This is because it is one of the first heavily settled areas of the United States by British settlers, and the many cities rose together in the same period.

Norfolk

Norfolk, Virginia is located to the northwest of Virginia Beach, and is the second largest city in the state. Norfolk is home to the biggest United States Navy base on the planet, and is the center of the economy for the entire Hampton Roads region. Norfolk is one of the oldest cities in the United States, founded in 1619.

Although Virginia Beach is the vacation destination of the region, Norfolk is considered the seat of culture and opportunity for the area. Over the past decades, Norfolk has undergone a tremendous period of revitalization, providing national acclaim for the city and the region. Old Dominion is the largest and most acclaimed University in the city.

Chesapeake

Chesapeake, Virginia is located inland immediately west of both Norfolk and Virginia Beach. It is the third largest city in the state both by land area and population. Over recent decades, portions of Chesapeake have been undergoing a fairly rapid increase in population, as more and more people move to the area to take advantage of new suburban communities.

Chesapeake is widely acclaimed for its demographic and ecological diversity. It is a large city with a lot to offer. The city is more urban closer to Norfolk, but there is a heavy agricultural presence further from the core of the region, and there are large amounts of protected forests and ecological areas, including a large area of the Great Dismal Swamp.

Richmond

Richmond, Virginia is the capital of Virginia, and is the fourth largest city in the state. Richmond has been a very important city in American history, serving as an industrial hub early in the early years of the United States. When the Civil War broke out in 1865, Richmond served as the capital of the Confederacy for the majority of the war.

The capital is considered one of the best cities in the country for business, and is home to a number of Fortune 500 companies. Richmond also also has a number of universities, the most significant of which are the private Richmond University and the public Virginia Commonwealth University. The most famous historical resident of Richmond was Edgar Allen Poe, and there is a museum in the city which displays artifacts from his life and the time period.

Newport News

Newport News is located to the north of Norfolk Virginia, just across the James River. The city is also on the edge of the Virginia Peninsula. Norfolk is considered the central commercial hub of the region, but Newport News is the second most important business district. Like Norfolk, Newport News has a strong military presence, and is home to the merged Langley-Eustis joint Air Force and Army base.

The city is not limited only to military influence, however. Newport News is a very important transportation hub, with its most important location being the Newport News Marine Terminal.

All About Portsmouth, Virginia Geographic Area

Portsmouth is located in the Hampton Roads metropolitan area of the U.S. Commonwealth of Virginia. As of 2010, the city had a total population of 95,535.

The Norfolk Naval Shipyard, often called the Norfolk Navy Yard, is a historic and active U.S. Navy facility that is actually located in Portsmouth rather than Norfolk; the name "Norfolk" was adopted to avoid confusion with Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where a naval shipyard already existed when the Virginia facility opened. The shipyard builds, remodels, and repairs the Navy's ships of all types.

Directly opposite Norfolk, the city of Portsmouth also has miles of waterfront land on the Elizabeth River as part of the harbor of Hampton Roads. There is a ferry boat that takes riders back and forth across the water between Downtown Norfolk and Olde Towne Portsmouth.

Portsmouth is located on the western side of the Elizabeth River directly across from the City of Norfolk. In 1620, the future site of Portsmouth was recognized as suitable shipbuilding location by John Wood, a shipbuilder, who petitioned King James I of England for a land grant. The surrounding area was soon settled as a plantation community.

Portsmouth was founded by Colonel William Crawford, a wealthy merchant and ship owner, who dedicated the four corners of High and Court streets for a church, a market, a courthouse, and a jail. It was established as a town in 1752 by an act of the Virginia General Assembly and was named for Portsmouth, England.

In 1855, the Portsmouth and Norfolk area suffered an epidemic of yellow fever which killed 1 of every three citizens. It became an independent city from Norfolk County in 1858.

In 1767, Andrew Sprowle, a shipbuilder, founded the Gosport Shipyard adjacent to Portsmouth. The Gosport Shipyard at Portsmouth was owned by the Commonwealth of Virginia after the American Revolutionary War and was sold to the new United States federal government. During the American Civil War, in 1861, Virginia joined the Confederate States of America.

Fearing that the Confederacy would take control of the shipyard at Portsmouth, the shipyard commander ordered the burning of the shipyard. The Confederate forces did in fact take over the shipyard, and did so without armed conflict through an elaborate ruse orchestrated by civilian railroad builder William Mahone (soon to become a famous Confederate officer). The Union forces withdrew to Fort Monroe across Hampton Roads, which was the only land in the area which remained under Union control.

In early 1862, the Confederate ironclad warship CSS Virginia was rebuilt using the burned-out hulk of USS Merrimack. Virginia engaged the Union ironclad USS Monitor in the famous Battle of Hampton Roads during the Union blockade of Hampton Roads. The Confederates burned the shipyard again when they left in May 1862.

Following the recapture of Norfolk and Portsmouth by the Union forces, the name of the shipyard was changed to Norfolk Naval Shipyard. The name of the shipyard was derived from its location in Norfolk County. The Norfolk Naval Shipyard today is located entirely within the city limits of Portsmouth, Virginia. The Norfolk Naval Shipyard name has been retained to minimize any confusion with the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, which itself is actually located in Kittery, Maine, across the Piscataqua River from Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Portsmouth was the county seat of Norfolk County until 1963 when the new city of Chesapeake was formed in a political consolidation with the city of South Norfolk. Portsmouth's other county neighbor, the former Nansemond County, also consolidated with a smaller city, forming the new city of Suffolk in 1974.

One of the older cities of Hampton Roads, in the early 21st century, Portsmouth was undergoing moderate urban renewal in the downtown area. However, population had been declining and there was no room for expansion, as it is surrounded by water and other cities of South Hampton Roads.

The city has a radically limited tax base. A large portion of the city is controlled by the U.S. Navy; when Navy facilities are combined with schools, churches, and other tax-exempt entities, over half of Portsmouth's assessed valuation is off the tax rolls. The APM "MAERSK" marine terminal for container ships opened in 2007 in the West Norfolk section. Virginia has funded millions of dollars in railroad and transportation improvements to serve it.

The Olde Towne section features one of the largest collections of historically significant homes between Alexandria, Virginia and Charleston, South Carolina. For example, located in Olde Towne is Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME), which was built by slaves and free men and is the second-oldest building in Portsmouth and the city's oldest black church.

The city contains a number of other historic buildings, as well, including the Pass House, which was built in 1841 by Judge James Murdaugh and occupied by Union troops from 1862 to 1865. Federal forces required Portsmouth residents to obtain a written pass to travel across the Elizabeth River and beyond. These passes were issued from the English basement and thus the name "Pass House" was derived.

Four-story 1825 English basement home furnished entirely with original family belongings. It is evident from the furnishings that the Hill family were avid collectors and lived graciously over a period of 150 years. The house remains in its original condition, with limited renovation through the years.

Established in 1832, Cedar Grove is the oldest city-owned cemetery in Portsmouth. Listed on the Virginia and national registers of historic sites, the cemetery is noted for its funerary art and the civic, business, maritime, religious and military leaders who are buried there. Historical markers placed throughout the cemetery allow for self-guided tours. The cemetery is located between Effingham Street and Fort Lane in Olde Towne Portsmouth. Entrance is through the south gate to the cemetery, located on London Boulevard.

Portsmouth is located at 36 °49 a²52 a³N 76 °20 a²44 a³W / 36.83111 °N 76.34556 °W / 36.83111; -76.34556 (36.831298, -76.345641).

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 46.6 square miles (121 km2), of which, 33.2 square miles (86 km2) of it is land and 13.5 square miles (35 km2) of it (28.87%) is water.

Portsmouth has a long history as a port town and city. The Olde Towne Business and Historical District is located in the downtown area, where a combination of preservation and redevelopment has been underway. An example is Hawthorn Hotel & Suites at The Governor Dinwiddie Hotel, which was renovated and reopened in 2005 after being closed for more than 10 years. It has been recognized by Historic Hotels of America, a program of the National Trust for Historical Preservation that identifies hotels that have maintained their historical integrity, architecture and ambiance and provides resources for their preservation. The historic hotel was named for Governor Robert Dinwiddie, who was the administrative head of the Colony of Virginia during the time Portsmouth was founded in 1752. It was largely through his efforts that Virginia survived the French and Indian War relatively well. (Dinwiddie County near Petersburg was also named for him).

Portsmouth is governed under the Council-Manager form of government. The current Mayor of Portsmouth, Virginia is Kenneth I. Wright, who was elected November 2, 2010 for the remainder of the unexpired term to end December 31, 2012. The City Hall Building, located at 801 Crawford Street, is the regular meeting place of the City Council of The City of Portsmouth, Virginia. The City Council is a legislative body served by six members, elected for four-year terms.

There are three public high schools in Portsmouth, Virginia, located at three corners of the city. In the northwest section of the city, off Cedar Lane, is Churchland High School. In the downtown section of the city, off London Blvd/High Street, is I.C. Norcom High School. In the southwest section of Portsmouth, on Elmhurst Lane, is Woodrow Wilson High School.

Snow falls rarely, averaging 3 inches (76 mm) per season.

From the earliest development, Portsmouth has been oriented to the water. In the 1830s, it was the first community in Hampton Roads to receive a new land transportation innovation, railroad service. The Portsmouth and Roanoke Railroad, a predecessor of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, extended to the rapids of the Roanoke River on its fall line near Weldon, North Carolina. It was to be 20 more years before its bigger neighbor, the city of Norfolk, also received a rail line, in 1858, when the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad was completed.
