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 Vallejo, California Geographic Area

Vallejo (play /vÉoËnleɪ.oÊo/ or /vÉoËnleɪhoÊo/; Spanish: [baËnÊbexo]) is the largest city in Solano County, California, United States. The population was 115,942 at the 2010 census. It is located in and is the tenth most populous city in the San Francisco Bay Area on the northeastern shore of San Pablo Bay. Vallejo is named for General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo.

Vallejo is home to the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom theme park (formerly Marine World and Marine World Africa USA) ; the now-defunct Mare Island Naval Shipyard; the regional office for Region 5 of the United States Forest Service; the California Maritime Academy (part of the California State University system); the Vallejo Center campus of Solano Community College; and Touro University California, a graduate school offering programs in osteopathic medicine, education, pharmacy, physician assistant studies, and public health. Ferry service runs from a terminal on Mare Island Strait to San Francisco, through Vallejo Transit's BayLink division.

Vallejo has twice served as the capital of the state of California: once in 1852 and again in 1853, both periods being brief. Some of the first Europeans drawn to the Vallejo area were attracted by the sulfur springs; in the year 1902 the area was named Blue Rock Springs. In 2008, Vallejo became the largest California city until then to file for bankruptcy.

According to United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 49.5 square miles (128 km2). Land area is 30.7 square miles (80 km2), and 18.9 square miles (49 km2) of it (38.09%) is water. The Napa River flows until it changes into the Mare Island Strait in Vallejo which then flows into the San Pablo Bay.

Vallejo is located in the northern part of the East Bay region of the Bay Area in Central California. Vallejo is accessible by Interstate 80 between San Francisco and Sacramento, and is the location for the northern half of the Carquinez Bridge. It is also accessible by Interstate 780 from neighboring Benicia to the east, and by Route 37 from Sonoma to the west. Route 29 (former U.S. Route 40) begins in the city near the Carquinez Bridge and travels north through the heart of the city and beyond into Napa County, entering neighboring American Canyon and eventually Napa.

Several faults have been mapped in the vicinity of Vallejo. The San Andreas Fault and Hayward Faults are the most active faults, even though the San Andreas is at some distance. Locally, the Sulphur Springs Valley Thrust Fault and Southhampton Fault are found. No quaternary seismic activity along these minor faults has been observed with the possible exception of a slight offset revealed by trenching. The Sulphur Mountain and Green Valley faults have been associated with the Concord Fault to the south. The Concord Fault is considered active. Historically there have been local cinnabar mines in the Vallejo area. The Hastings Mine and St. John's Mine contribute ongoing water contamination for mercury; furthermore, mine shaft development has depleted much of this area's spring water. Both Rindler Creek and Blue Rock Springs Creek have been affected.

There are a variety of flora and fauna in the Vallejo area. The Suisun Shrew (Sorex ornatus sinuosus), a mammal found only in salt marshes, has local habitat. Also according to city's 1989 Environmental Assessment, the Tiburon Indian paintbrush, (Castilleja neglecta) is found in the Vallejo area.

Vallejo was once home of the Coastal Miwok as well as Suisunes and other Patwin Native American tribes. The Columbus Parkway EIR documents three confirmed Native American sites located in the rock outcrops in the hills above Blue Rock Springs Park. The California Archaeological Inventory has indicated that the three Indian sites are located on Sulphur Springs Mountain.

The city of Vallejo was once part of the 84,000-acre (340 km2) Rancho Suscol Mexican land grant of 1843 by Governor Manuel Micheltorena to General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo. The city was named for this original Mexican military officer and title holder, he helped to settle and oversee the north bay region. General Vallejo was responsible for military peace in the region until 1846, when independence-minded Californians rose up against the Mexican government of California in 1846 in the Bear Flag Revolt, followed subsequently by the annexation of the California Republic to the United States. General Vallejo, though a Mexican and Mexican army officer, generally acquiesced in the annexation of California to the United States, recognizing the greater resources of the United States and benefits that would bring to California. He was a proponent of reconciliation and statehood after the Bear Flag Revolt, and has a U.S. Navy submarine, the USS Mariano G. Vallejo (SSBN-658), named after him.

In 1850, Vallejo proposed plans for a new city, to be called Eureka, with the capitol, university, botanical garden and other features. After a state wide referendum, his proposal was accepted, although a new name was decided upon: Vallejo. In 1851, a commission appointed by the Senate found a site on a hill that overlooked the bay and could see San Francisco on a clear day, and it was approved for its symbolic strategic value. In 1851, Vallejo was the official state capitol, with the government prepared to meet for the first time the following year. In 1852, the legislature convened for the first time. Unfortunately, Vallejo didn't follow through with building a capitol for them to meet in. After being forced to meet in a leaky building, sitting on barrels, they motioned to move sessions to Sacramento, and served there for the remainder of the session after only 11 days. In 1853, it was again the meeting place for the legislature, solely for the purpose of moving the capitol officially to Benicia, which occurred on February 4, 1853, after only a month. Benicia is named after Vallejo's wife, Francisca Benicia Carrillo. After legislature left, the government established a naval shipyard on Mare Island, which helped the town overcome the loss. The yard functioned for over a hundred years, finally closing in 1996.

Although the town is named after General Vallejo, the man regarded as the true founder of Vallejo is John B. Frisbie. After his daughter Epifania married Frisbie, General Vallejo granted him power of attorney for the land grant. It was Frisbie who hired E.H. Rowe, the man who designed the city layout and who named the east-west streets after states and the north-south streets after California counties.

In the early 1900s, Vallejo was home to a Class D minor-league baseball team, referred to in local newspapers sometimes as the "Giants" and other times simply as "The Vallejos." Pacific Coast League star and future Chicago White Sox center fielder Ping Bodie played for Vallejo during the 1908 season, in which the team reached the California state title game. The team was disbanded in the early 1920s.

Downtown Vallejo retains many of its historic Victorian and Craftsman homes.

The Zodiac Killer was a serial killer who was active in Northern California during the 1960s. He claimed to have killed 37, but the actual number is unknown. Both the Vallejo Police Department and San Francisco Police Department investigated the murders but were never able to solve the case. The case was marked inactive in April 2004 but was reopened in March 2007. The Vallejo Police Department website has a menu tab for providing Zodiac Crime Tips. The case also remains open in additional jurisdictions.

As early as the 1940s and before, Vallejo is known to have had a well-formed gay community, which was a short drive or boat ride away from San Francisco. At one time Vallejo boasted eight gay bars. After a migration of gays and lesbians from San Francisco in the decade 2000-2009, openly gay members of the community encountered what they described as a backlash against them. The school district was threatened by the ACLU to be sued for harassment of a 17-year-old lesbian by school administrators. The school settled the lawsuit with the student. The school agreed to pay her $25,000, adopt a more stringent non-discrimination policy and include a curriculum that positively portrayed gay and lesbian people. Some candidates for public office were alarmed by the formation of a "faith community" coalition organized by a group of local churches, formed under the name "Vallejo Faith Organization." The coalition sought to represent the values and interest of people of faith in local politics and to help facilitate the church's involvement in bettering the community of Vallejo. A few of these churches have partnered with a group known as the "New Apostolic Reformation," or NAR, to declare Vallejo as a "City of God."

In 2009, Osby Davis answered a question in an interview with New York Times columnist (Scott James, who writes fiction under the pen name Kemble Scott) by saying that according to Davis's personal belief and understanding of the Bible gay people would not get into heaven.

Osby Davis claimed his comments were taken out of context. The New York Times released the interview with Davis. The parts the New York Times did not originally report were portions where Davis compared the LGBT community to thieves, murderers, liars, drug addicts and child molesters. Many within the community saw his comments as divisive and bigoted and demanded that he step down. Many other residents of Vallejo agreed with his comments and offered their full support. Many who opposed his comments felt this showed the supposed intolerance of the LGBT community in Valejo by the so-called "faith" community. In the next election in November 2011, Osby Davis was re-elected mayor of Vallejo.

Two openly gay men have been elected to Vallejo's city council.

The incumbent mayor was former city council member Anthony Intintoli; as of December 2007, the current mayor is Osby Davis. The mayoral race had Davis and Gary Cloutier tied on election day before the last few votes counted put Cloutier slightly ahead. But the results of a recount declared Davis the winner instead, two days after Cloutier had already been sworn in. The two candidates would have been firsts for Vallejo: Davis is the first black mayor elected in Vallejo; Cloutier would have been the first openly gay mayor.

On May 6, 2008, the City Council voted 7-0 to file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy, at the time becoming the largest California city to do so. Stephanie Gomes, Vallejo City Councilwoman, largely blames exorbitant salaries and benefits for Vallejo firefighters and police officers. Reportedly, salaries and benefits for public safety workers account for at least 80 percent of Vallejo's general fund budget. (Stockton filed for bankruptcy in June 2012.)

On November 1, 2011, a federal judge released Vallejo from bankruptcy after nearly three years. The city is now taking measures to find more revenue, and has already gotten new employee contracts, lowered pension plans for firefighters, increased the amount city staffers add to their health insurance and eliminated minimum staffing requirements for the fire department. The legal fees included in bankruptcy cost the city $8 million.

A detailed analysis of Vallejo's financial downfall is featured in Michael Lewis' book Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World.

According to the City's 2009 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, the top employers in the city are:

West Vallejo is the oldest and most historic section of the city, and stretches from Interstate 80 and Sonoma Blvd. to Mare Island and the Vallejo waterfront. In old town Vallejo, East-West streets are named after states, North-South streets are named after counties, and alleys between East-West streets are named after old, defunct car companies. The order of East-West streets appears at first to be random but actually follows the commissioning order of USN battleships. Names are sometimes truncated. For example, there is a Carolina Street (not a North and a South) and a York Street (omitting the "New").

The downtown and waterfront areas, located in West Vallejo near Mare Island were undergoing extensive transformation and development as many people from San Francisco move to the Victorian homes downtown. After the unfortunate bankruptcy, things ground to a halt. However, a large parking structure to accommodate the ferry and bus system was recently completed and is expected to redraw attention to Vallejo's old town on the west side.

The city's three historic neighborhoods are in West Vallejo:

This subdivision, originally named the "Georgetown" was renamed the "Bay Terrace" in 1920. It is a district composed of 126 individual buildings, designed by architect George W. Kelham (a student of Frederick Law Olmsted, architect of Golden Gate Park, Central Park and the "Emerald Necklace" in Boston) and constructed by the United States Housing Corporation in 1918 as the permanent component of Project 581, to provide housing for Mare Island Naval Shipyard workers during World War I.

This project was one of only two on the Pacific Coast. The district has a remarkably high degree of integrity. Most of the original residential buildings remain; almost 2/3 of them have survived in their original condition. The residential buildings are detached single-family houses, semi-detached two-family houses and semi-detached two-flat houses, distributed fairly evenly along the street. A sense of individuality among the houses was achieved by using fifteen variations on six basic plans, while visually harmonious streetscapes were created through the use of the Colonial Revival style. This distinctive architectural style of the housing visually distinguished the boundaries of the Bay Terrace district from the surrounding neighborhood. Although the subdivision is not currently on the National Register of Historic Places, it does meet the "significant" requirements under criteria A and C for evaluation.

The newest neighborhoods of Vallejo are located in the northeast section of the city, east of Interstate 80 and include the Northgate neighborhood near Blue Rock Springs Park and Hiddenbrooke with its own golf course in the mountains between Vallejo and Fairfield.

East Vallejo is the largest and most populated, containing newer neighborhoods of the city, which has undergone considerable growth since the late 1940s. East Vallejo begins on the east side of Interstate 80 and includes the "manor neighorhoods" such as Tennessee and Steffan Manor, Silverview, Skyview Terrace, Granada Hills, Greenmont, Somerset Highlands (the most easternly part of Georgia Street; Columbus Parkway is the southern border of East Vallejo. The Woods are all the streets in East Vallejo with the "wood" in them: redwood, rollingwood, oakwood, located on the south east side of the city between I-80 and the eastern-most city limits.

North Vallejo includes Country Club Crest (or "The Crest"), a neighborhood located north of Highway 37. The Crest is famously known for the neighborhoods of national rap artists Mac Dre and Mac Mall, as it is mentioned frequently in both of their lyrics. "Rancho" is a neighborhood located on the northwest side of the city near American Canyon. North Vallejo's boundaries include Interstate 80 on the east and Highway 37 on the South.

South Vallejo is located south of York and Marin Streets and is sometimes known as "Hillside", the "Su side", or "Beverly Hills". South Vallejo is famous for being the birthplace of the famous Vallejo rap group The Click, as well as E-40's record label Sick Wid It Records.

The southeast area of Vallejo includes Glen Cove, a neighborhood located where Interstates 80 and 780 meet, near Benicia. It boasts views of the Carquinez Strait, including the newly built westbound Carquinez Bridge. Most of the home construction in this area was completed in the 1980s but includes some of the most expensive housing in the city. Glen Cove is home to Waterfront Park or Sogorea Te as Native Americans call it.

South Vallejo also has another historic area "Sandy Beach", the first area in Vallejo to be settled. Although this area is located in South Vallejo, Sandy Beach is actually unincorporated Solano County. The houses here, located on the shore at the mouth of the Napa River, were formerly fishing shacks originally built in the 1800s. It is rumored that Jack London used to play poker at the age of 16 in the shack on the pier directly across the water. Of course, any such house would have been torn down and replaced by a house by now.

The oldest known house in Vallejo, the Winslow House, built in 1860 by a merchant marine, George Greenwood, of Maine, and in 1891 was purchased by Isaac Winslow, remains in its existing historic condition on Winslow Avenue. The property was originally 700 acres and is now 3/4 an acre. It is also the home of the oldest Pepper Tree in California (non-native).

South Vallejo has other historic buildings, including a rare 1869 historic mansion, the only one of its kind left in Vallejo. The Starr Mansion, named after its builder, Abraham Dubois Starr, sits on top of a hill and offers panoramic views of the city of Vallejo, the waterways of the Napa River, Mare Island and the picturesque hills to the east. The beautiful, unique architecture is Second Empire Italianate and thought of as Vallejo's diamond. Now a bed and breakfast that lodges and caters to tourists and business visitors, the mansion is filled with furniture and accessories of the period. The two adjoining parlors have matching Italian marble fireplaces and breath-taking unique gold leaf light fixtures original to the structure.

Mare Island, former home to the oldest Naval Base west of the Mississippi and decommissioned in 1996, has the newest homes in the city as well as some of the oldest. Touro University California is located on the south side of Mare Island. As one of the nation aos oldest decommissioned shipyard and naval bases, Mare Island has a rich history and contains many National Historic Landmark buildings, including a 19th century industrial brick warehouse, the Coal Shed Artists Studios, Officers Mansions, designated historic landscapes Alden Park and Chapel Park, the oldest golf course west of the Mississippi, and Saint Peters Chapel, a nondenominational church built in 1901 that boasts the largest collection of actual Louis Comfort Tiffany stain-glass windows on the west coast.

Vallejo has six sister cities:
