Utah Hormone Replacement Therapy Services
As one grows older, it becomes more and more important to take intelligent and deliberate steps to safeguard one's health. The older that we get, the more that aging and symptoms related to aging tear away at our health. Did you know that it's actually possible to alleviate many issues related to aging with Hormone Replacement Therapy?
No matter where you live, from the heart of Salt Lake City to the outstretched corners of the state, the Conscious Evolution Institute is your number one source for Hormone Restoration Services in the state of Utah. We use sophisticated methods to diagnose you remotely and accurately.
All we need from you is to meet with one of our local affiliate physicians, who can retrieve the necessary blood sample and perform the required physical to get you approved for therapy. From there, we have all we need to develop a plan specifically designed to meet your own unique needs.
Utah Human Growth Hormone Rejuvenation Treatments
Most people are woefully unaware of the potential benefits of HGH Restoration. All they know about Human Growth Hormone is that it helps kids grow and that athletes use it to try to get an edge on the competition. HGH is actually an incredibly vital hormone that keeps us feeling young and healthy.
HGH concentrations peak during puberty, and drop to optimal adult levels by the late teens. Around the age of 30, HGH Levels start to decline. This decline is very slow, and it may take years or even decades to become noticeable, but it does eventually have a major impact on health and wellness. It reduces your ability to heal from injury, makes you more susceptible to illness, causes your body to build bodyfat and lose muscle, among other symptoms.
If you feel that you may be suffering from Adult-Onset Growth Hormone Deficiency, the Conscious Evolution Institute offers two primary forms of treatment: Sermorelin Acetate Injections and HGH Injection Therapy. Sermorelin Acetate has the unique ability to facilitate your pituitary to create more natural Human Growth Hormone, and HGH Shots naturally supplement your body's waning supply. Both forms of treatment can help boost your HGH Levels to youthful and optimal concentrations.
Utah Testosterone Replacement Therapy
If you are a man, and you feel that you are losing your virility and sexual potency as you grow older, there is a very strong chance that you are a perfect candidate for the variety of Testosterone Restoration Options that we provide to citizens of Utah. If you think you may be suffering from Testosterone Deficiency, it is important that you get treatment quickly, because Low-T isn't just a sexual disorder, it also diminishes your health and vastly increases your mortality risk over time.
Men with untreated Testosterone Deficiency are more likely to experience Obesity, Cardiovascular Disease, Stroke, Atherosclerosis, and Osteoporosis, just to name a few risks. Our HRT Clinic offers a number of treatment options, including Testosterone Enanthate, Testosterone Cypionate, Testosterone Patches and Testosterone Topical Sprays.
Utah HCG for Weight Loss
Hormone Replacement Therapy can even be used as a medical treatment, in addition to simply being used as a tool for hormone restoration. One option that our HRT Medical Clinic provides is HCG Injections for Weight Loss. This proven Bio-Identical Hormone Treatment, when combined with a strict diet known as Caloric Restriction, has been scientifically established to encourage significant weight loss without leading to fatigue or severe hunger.
HCG works because it has the special ability to counteract hunger pangs, making dieting an easier and more pleasant experience. It also encourages the body to burn bodyfat rather than structural fat and muscle. Just give us a call to get started!
Major Cities in Utah
Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City is the capital city of the state of Utah, and it is also the largest metropolitan area in the state. Salt Lake City is most well-known for being the religious center of the LDS Church, and nearly half of the city belongs to the Mormon Church. The city was originally founded as a Mormon settlement by Brigham Young in 1847.
Salt Lake City was historically a mining town, but today, it's largest private source of employment is the service industry. The nickname of the city is The Crossroads of the West. The city is home to both the Utah Jazz and the MLS team Real Salt Lake.
West Valley City
West Valley City is the second most populous city in Utah, and is the largest of Salt Lake City's suburbs. The city was first incorporated in 1980, from the unincorporated communities of Redwood, Chesterfield, Granger, and Hunter. The largest employers in West Valley City are Verizon Wireless, UPS, and Discover Financial. Unlike Salt Lake City, West Valley City remains an overwhelmingly Mormon community.
Provo
Provo is located south of Salt Lake City, and is located along Utah Lake. It is the third most populous city in the state, and was another community founded by the Mormons in the 19th century. Provo is nationally recognized for a number of positive reasons. It is considered one of the healthiest and economically friendly cities in the country, as well as the most community-oriented and optimistic cities in the United States. Brigham Young University is located in Provo, Utah.
West Jordan
West Jordan is the second largest suburb of Salt Lake City and the fourth largest city in the state of Utah. The city is located along the Jordan River, and the western border of the city is the Oquirrh Mountain Range. West Jordan has a diversified economy, and some businesses based out of the city are Cyprus Credit Union, SME Steel, and Mountain America Credit Union.
Orem
Orem is the fifth most populous city in Utah, and is immediately adjacent to Provo, Utah. Like Provo, Orem is an incredibly well-regarded community, and has a nationally-recognized standard of living. It is considered one of the best places in the country to raise a family, and even refers to itself as Family City USA. The city has also been the home of an unusually large number of start-up companies, including WordPerfect, PowerQuest, and Novell.
All About West Jordan, Utah Geographic Area
West Jordan is a city in Salt Lake County, Utah, United States. West Jordan is a rapidly growing suburb of Salt Lake City and has a mixed economy. According to the 2010 Census, the city had a population of 103,712, placing it as the fourth most populous in the state. The city occupies the southwest end of the Salt Lake Valley at an elevation of 4,330 feet (1,320 m). Named after the nearby Jordan River, the limits of the city begin on the river's western bank and end in the eastern foothills of the Oquirrh Mountains, where Kennecott Copper Mine, the world's largest man-made excavation is located.
Settled in the mid-19th century, the city has developed into its own regional center. As of 2012, the city has four major retail centers; with Jordan Landing being one of the largest mixed-use planned developments in the Intermountain West. Companies headquartered in West Jordan include Mountain America Credit Union, Lynco Sales & Service, SME Steel, and Cyprus Credit Union. The city has one major hospital, Jordan Valley Medical Center, and a campus of Salt Lake Community College, which is designed to become the main campus by 2020.
City landmarks include Gardner Village, established in 1850, and South Valley Regional Airport, formerly known as "Salt Lake Airport #2." The airport serves general aviation operations as well as a base for the Utah Army National Guard for Apache and Black Hawk helicopters.
West Jordan received its name from Mormon settlers who entered the Salt Lake Valley in 1847 under the leadership of their prophet, Brigham Young. These first European-Americans thought of the area to be their Zion, or Holy Land, and thus named the river flowing west of their first settlement, Salt Lake City, the Western Jordan, a reference to the River Jordan in Israel. The name was later simplified to "Jordan River". Like its Middle Eastern namesake, the Jordan River flows from a fresh water lake (Utah Lake) to an inland salt sea (Great Salt Lake). West Jordan was founded around 1849 on the western banks of the Jordan River.
One of the first sawmills in the area was built in 1850 in the city by Archibald Gardner. Gardner was a devout Mormon whose legacy can still be seen in modern West Jordan. His collection of, now historic, mills and houses have been renovated into a specialty shopping district known as Gardner Village.
Early West Jordan relied primarily on agriculture, mills, and mining activity to form the base of its economy. The first leather tannery west of the Mississippi River was constructed in the city in 1851.
Today, West Jordan is one of the fastest growing cities in Utah. Growth has been phenomenal, beginning in the 1970s and continuing unabated since. The population grew from 4,221 in 1970 to 27,327 in 1980, 42,892 in 1990, and 68,336 in 2000, reaching 103,712 according to the 2010 Census. Sears chose the city as its first Sears Grand location, a new store concept, which opened its doors in 2003 at the Jordan Landing shopping center. Transportation issues along with school overcrowding are the city aos top concerns as it attempts to deal with rapid population growth.
Current major construction projects include the completion of Jordan Landing, a new main campus for the Salt Lake Community College, the expansion of Jordan Valley Hospital, and Midvale's current transit-oriented development on the east border in the Jordan River bed. Future plans for the city include the Mountain View Corridor freeway and the "Mid-Jordan" UTA TRAX light rail line.
Old downtown West Jordan is planned to be reconstructed as a transit-oriented development and called "Briarwood." The plans call for an expanded Main Park, a history museum, an indoor recreation center, a senior center, and a large courthouse to serve the Utah State Third District. The second phase calls for the demolition of a dilapidated commercial area, to be replaced by six-story buildings housing a performing arts center, a large library, a hotel, an education center, a conference center, retail and office space, a trail linking to Gardner Village and the Jordan River trail, and a cultural pavilion to house the planned light rail station.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 30.9 square miles (80.0 km ²), all of it land.
West Jordan is bordered on the west by the Oquirrh Mountains and on the east by the Jordan River. The western neighborhoods of Welby, Copper Hills, and Jordan Hills are rapidly-growing regions located along the lower slopes of the eastern Oquirrh Mountains. The fastest development is currently taking place between 4800 West and State Route 111, a highway that traverses the slopes of the Oquirrh Mountains.
The city lies approximately 18 miles (29 km) southwest of downtown Salt Lake City. The city is bordered on the north by Taylorsville and Kearns, on the south by South Jordan, on the east by Sandy, Murray and Midvale, on the west by Copperton, and on the extreme northwestern corner by West Valley City.
West Jordan was incorporated on January 10, 1941. Today, West Jordan has a council-manager form of government. The city council is composed of seven individuals: the mayor and six council members. The mayor presides at city council meetings. The city council appoints a city manager to act as the chief executive or administrative officer. The city council provides policy and direction for the city. The city council meets the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at 6:00 PM.
The mayor and city council members are elected to four-year terms. Four city council members are elected from four districts within the city, while the other two are elected at-large or citywide. The mayor and the two at-large council members are elected during the same election cycle, while the four city council members representing their districts are elected offset by two years, last one held in 2011. All terms begin on January 1 following their respective election.
At the 2000 census, there were 68,336 people 18,897 households, and 16,232 families residing in the city. The population density was 2,211.3 per square mile (853.9/km ²). There were 19,597 housing units at an average density of 634.2 per square mile (244.9/km ²). The racial makeup of the city was 88.76% White, 0.64% African American, 0.56% Native American, 2.04% Asian, 0.94% Pacific Islander, 4.76% from other races, and 2.31% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 10.07% of the population.
There were 18,897 households of which 57.3% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 72.0% were married couples living together, 10.0% had a female householder with no husband present, and 14.1% were non-families. 10.2% of all households were made up of individuals and 2.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 3.60 and the average family size was 3.87.
37.8% of the population were under the age of 18, 12.2% from 18 to 24, 32.1% from 25 to 44, 14.8% from 45 to 64, and 3.2% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 25 years. For every 100 females there were 100.9 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 98.8 males.
The median household income was $55,794, and the median family income was $57,818. Males had a median income of $38,141 versus $26,391 for females. The per capita income for the city was $17,221. About 4.1% of families and 5.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 6.1% of those under age 18 and 3.4% of those age 65 or over.
Most of West Jordan lies in the Jordan School District; however, due to a pair of annexations, two small sections along the northern border lie within the Granite School District. The city has 16 elementary schools (including 1 in the Granite District), 4 middle schools, and 2 high schools (West Jordan and Copper Hills). It is also the location of campuses of Salt Lake Community College and Broadview University.
Interstate 15, a twelve-lane freeway, is located east of the city limits, providing access from the north and south, while Interstate 215, an eight-lane beltway, is located northeast of the city. Bangerter Highway (State Route 154), a six-lane expressway, traverses the center of the city, just east of South Valley Regional Airport and the Jordan Landing shopping center. Due to severe traffic congestion plaguing the rapidly growing city, a ten-lane freeway in the Mountain View Corridor (SR-85) is planned to have three exits in the city (7800 S, 9000 S, and Old Bingham Hwy.) and run north-south at about 5800 West in the south and bend west to 6400 West in the north. The first phase of the project is scheduled to be complete late 2012 through early 2013.
New Bingham Highway, mostly a four-lane road, begins as 7720 South at State Street (U.S. Route 89) in Midvale, curves into 7800 South as it enters the city, and finally heads southwest to end at Copperton. Redwood Road (State Route 68), a six-lane road, runs through the eastern portion of the city. In the far western extremes of the city, State Route 111, a two-lane road, runs through the developing rural area along the foothills. Development has recently begun to expand beyond SR-111.
West Jordan is served by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) bus system, which runs every half-hour during peak hours. All of the routes running into the city connect to nearby TRAX stations in Midvale and Sandy or to downtown Salt Lake City. Service in the city was increased during the August 2007 redesign of the bus system. A TRAX light rail line also serves the area. This line begins at the Fashion Place West station in Murray and run southwest through West Jordan, with 6 stops in the city, before turning south and terminating at the Daybreak Community in South Jordan. The route was opened on August 7, 2011.
Transportation has been a major issue in city politics. The city's population has expanded rapidly from about 4,000 in 1970 to over 100,000 in 2010, outstripping the capacity of roadways and infrastructure. At city council meetings it has been common for residents, particularly those on the western edge of the city, to complain about having one-hour commutes to downtown Salt Lake City, a distance of 26 miles (42 km). The mayor has blamed this situation on the fact that the city is the most populous in the state that is not directly served by a freeway. In addition to significant road widening projects throughout the city, the Mountain View Corridor freeway is currently under construction to service the western portion of the city.
West Jordan has a sister city, as designated by Sister Cities International:
