Texas Hormone Replacement Therapy Services

Are you interested in Hormone Replacement Therapy Solutions, but don't know where to turn? The Conscious Evolution Institute is your best source for quality Physician-Monitored Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy Services in the United States. We provide fast and effective service to get you the exact Hormone Treatments that you need to balance your health and improve your well-being!

Bio-Identical HGH Injections in Texas

Human Growth Hormone Deficiency is a significant medical condition which can severely restrict your ability to live a long and happy life. If you are over the age of thirty and are suffering from symptoms such as fatigue, poor sleep, depression, and unexplained changes in body composition, you may be a candidate for Bio-Identical HGH Injections.

These injections restore normal and optimal Hormone Balance for patients suffering from Age-Related Growth Hormone Deficiency, potentially allowing them to live longer and healthier lives.

Sermorelin Therapy in Texas

The Conscious Evolution Institute also offers Sermorelin Injections as an alternative to Human Growth Hormone. Sermorelin Acetate is able to restore normal HGH levels by stimulating the pituitary gland, and both forms of treatment have their own particular advantages and disadvantages, but both forms of treatment are incredibly safe.

Low Testosterone Treatments in Texas

If you are suffering from erectile dysfunction or other sexual woes as you grow older, you may be suffering from Low-T. Both Low-T and HGH Deficiency share many symptoms and characteristics, but Low-T has a more significant impact on sexual health.

Bio-Identical Testosterone Replacement Therapy comes in many forms: Cream, Patch, Injections, and even dermal implant, and all of these methods have been proven highly effective at restoring normal Testosterone concentrations in the blood stream. Women can even benefit from the Testosterone Replacement, particularly women that are suffering from symptoms related to sexual dysfunction.

HCG Injections in Texas

Are you overweight or obese? Have you tried everything to lose the weight but have been unable to stick with an effective diet? HCG Therapy may be the perfect choice for you. HCG Injections, combined with caloric restriction, have been clinically shown to encourage weight loss safely and quickly.

HCG encourages your body to burn adipose fat over muscle tissue, and also inhibits the psychological impact of hormones such as Ghrelin, which directly stimulate the feeling of hunger in your mind. HCG Shots prevent the feelings of fatigue associated with caloric restriction, allowing you to live your day-to-day life like normal, while encouraging your body to quickly shed excess bodyfat.

Largest Metro Populations in Texas

Dallas

Dallas-Fort Worth is the largest metropolitan area in the state of Texas, and Dallas is one of the most important economic powerhouses of the United States. Behind Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City, the area employs more people than any other place in the United States. Dallas also has a large number of Fortune 500 companies.

The Dallas metro is unique, because it is the largest metropolitan city without any form of sea access, which has necessitated it to have a large and broad transportation system based on rail, trucking, and air traffic. Dallas is the home of the MLB Texas Rangers, NBA Mavericks, and NFL Cowboys.

Houston

Houston is the largest city in the state of Texas, and represents the second largest metropolitan population. Like Dallas, Houston is another city with a huge business presence, and is home to more Fortune 500 companies than any other city in the United States besides New York City.

The Port of Houston is one of the most important transportation ports in the United States, second only to the ports of New Orleans in terms of the amount of cargo transported in and out of the United States every year. Houston is home to the NBA Rockets, MLB Astros, and NFL Texans. Galveston also belongs to the Houston Metropolitan area and offers beautiful beaches and contributes to the high tourist value of the area.

San Antonio

San Antonio is the third largest metro area in Texas and the fastest growing area of the state of Texas. San Antonio is much different than Houston or Dallas, because the vast majority of the metro population live within the city limits of San Antonio, with very few people located outside of the city.

The city of San Antonio has a large population of military residents, and is the home of a number of military bases, including Randolph Air Force Base, Lackland Air Force Base, and Fort Sam Houston. The city is home to one major professional sports team: the San Antonio Spurs.

Austin

Austin, Texas, is the fourth largest metro area in Texas and is the capital of the state. The city is widely known as one of the most important cultural centers in Texas, and perhaps even the United States. Austin is most well known for the South by Southwest festival (SXSW), which is a city-wide music festival which hosts many of the most interesting and unique musical acts in the country, in addition to showcasing other forms of art, such as film.

El Paso

El Paso is the fifth largest metro area in Texas, and is located on the far-western tip of the state. The city is located on the border of the United States with Mexico, and is contiguous with Juarez on the other side of the border. El Paso is unique in the United States and even the Western Hemisphere because of its huge bilingual workforce which includes individuals from two countries.

Like San Antonio, El Paso has a large military population. El Paso is home to Fort Bliss and Biggs Army Airfield. Fort Bliss is the largest military training facility in the United States.

All About Abilene, Texas Geographic Area

Abilene (play /ËnR¦bÉoliËan/ AB-Éo-leen) is a city in Taylor and Jones counties in west central Texas. The population was 117,063 according to the 2010 census making it the twenty-fifth most populous city in the state of Texas. It is the principal city of the Abilene Metropolitan Statistical Area, which had a 2006 estimated population of 158,063. It is the county seat of Taylor County. Dyess Air Force Base is located on the west side of the city.

Abilene is located off Interstate 20, between exits 279 on its western edge and 292 on the east. Abilene is 150 miles (240 km) west of Fort Worth, Texas. The city is looped by I-20 to the north, US 83/84 on the west, and Loop 322 to the east. A railroad divides the city down the center into north and south. The historic downtown area is on the north side of the railroad.

The fastest-growing sections of the city are growing to the southwest, along Southwest Drive, the Winters Freeway, and the Buffalo Gap Road corridor; the southeast, along Loop 322, Oldham Lane, Industrial Drive, and Maple Street; and in the northeast near the intersection of SH 351 and I-20. Many developments have begun in these three areas within the last few years. There are three lakes in the city, Lytle Lake on the western edge of Abilene Regional Airport, Kirby Lake on the southeast corner of the US 83/84 & Loop 322 interchange, and Lake Fort Phantom Hill in Jones County in north Abilene.

Established by cattlemen as a stock shipping point on the Texas and Pacific Railway in 1881, the city was named after Abilene, Kansas, the original endpoint for the Chisholm Trail. The T&P had bypassed the town of Buffalo Gap, the county seat at the time. Eventually, a landowner north of Buffalo Gap, Clabe Merchant, known as the father of Abilene, chose the name for the new town. According to a Dallas newspaper, about eight hundred people had already begun camping at the townsite, before the lots were sold. The town was laid out by Colonel J. Stoddard Johnson, and the auction of lots began early on March 15, 1881. By the end of the first day, 139 lots were sold for a total of $23,810, and another 178 lots were sold the next day for $27,550.

In 1882, the town was incorporated, and Abilenians began to set their sights on bringing the county seat to Abilene and, in a three-to-one vote, won the election. In 1888, the Progressive Committee was formed to attract businesses to the area, which later became the Board of Trade in 1890. By 1900, 3,411 people lived in Abilene, and in that decade, the Board of Trade changed its name to the 25,000 Club in the hope of reaching 25,000 people by the next census. However this committee failed when the population only hit 9,204 in 1910. Replacing it was the Young Men's Booster Club, which became the Abilene Chamber of Commerce in 1914.

The cornerstone was laid for the first of three future universities in Abilene, called Simmons College, in 1891, which later became Hardin-Simmons University. Childers Classical Institute followed in 1906, currently Abilene Christian University, Abilene's largest of the three. In 1923, McMurry College was founded and later became McMurry University. Much more recently, Abilene succeeded in bringing Cisco Junior College and Texas State Technical College branches to Abilene, with the Cisco Junior College headquarters being located in Abilene.

In 1940, Abilene raised the money to purchase land for a U.S. Army base, southwest of town, named Camp Barkeley, which was at the time, twice the size of Abilene with 60,000 men. When the base closed, many worried that Abilene could become a ghost town, but in the post-World War II boom, many servicemen returned to start businesses in Abilene. In the early-1950s, residents raised $893,261 to purchase 3,400 acres (14 km2) of land for an Air Force base. Today, Dyess Air Force Base is the city's largest employer, with 6,076 employees.[dead link][dead link] By 1960, Abilene's population nearly doubled in 10 years from 45,570 in 1950 to 90,638. In the same year, a second high school was added, Cooper High School. In 1966, the Abilene Zoo was created near Abilene Regional Airport. The following year, one of the most important bond elections in the city's history passed for the funding of the construction of the Abilene Civic Center and the Taylor County Coliseum, as well as major improvements to Abilene Regional Airport. In 1969, the Woodson elementary and high school for black students closed as the schools are integrated.

In 1982, Abilene became the first city in Texas to create a downtown reinvestment zone. Texas State Technical College opened an Abilene branch three years later. The 2,250-bed French Robertson Prison Unit was built in 1989. A half-cent sales tax earmarked for economic development was created after the decline in the petroleum business in the 1980s. A branch of Cisco Junior College was located in the city in 1990.

The Grace Museum and Paramount Theatre revitalizations, along with Artwalk in 1992 sparked a decade of downtown restoration. In 2004, Frontier Texas!, a multi-media museum highlighting the history of the area from 1780 to 1880 was constructed, and a new $8 million, 38-acre (150,000 m2) Cisco Junior College campus was built at Loop 322 and Industrial Boulevard. Simultaneously, subdivisions and businesses started locating along the freeway, on the same side as the CJC campus, showing a slow but progressive trend for Abilene growth on the Loop. Abilene has become the commercial, retail, medical, and transportation hub of a 19-county area more commonly known as "The Big Country," but also known as the "Texas Midwest". By the end of 2005, commercial and residential development had reached record levels in and around the city.

Abilene has two school districts within the city limits, the Abilene Independent School District (AISD) and Wylie Independent School District (WISD). The local high schools are Abilene High School and Cooper High School of AISD and Wylie High School of WISD. A new building on the Hardin-Simmons University campus serves AISD high school students as a magnet school, called Holland Medical High School, as well as HSU students as the Holland School of Sciences and Mathematics. The Holland Medical High School is affiliated with Hendrick Medical Center, which is across Ambler Avenue from the university campus. Abilene also has a new high school that opened in the fall of 2009, the Academy of Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Science (A.T.E.M.S.). It is a S.T.E.M. school, which focuses on computer science, engineering science, and mathematics. The school only accepts about 100 students each year, provides students with their own laptop computers,(having a 1-1 ratio of students to computers) and is located inside the Abilene campus of Texas State Technical College.

AISD has begun taking steps towards creating magnet schools for the school district. The district is considering locating a specialized math and science classroom at McMurry University, taught by both a university professor and AISD teacher, on the campus. A plan for the future calls for the creation of a magnet school system specializing in four areas: math, science, technology, and fine arts. The four areas will be divided among each of the four middle schools in the district. Regular curriculum will still be taught, but extra emphasis and equipment would be given based on the specific field of the school, such as extra labs for a science school, and an instrument lab for a fine arts school. Also, Bond Proposition 2 for the 2008 AISD bond election proposed a new Professional and Technology magnet school to be located at Lincoln Middle School, one of the oldest schools in the city, after a major renovation project.

The city is also home to several higher education units, including three religiously affiliated private universities: Abilene Christian University (ACU), Hardin-Simmons University (HSU), and McMurry University (McM), as well as the Abilene campus of Cisco College (CC), a West Texas campus of Texas State Technical College (TSTC), and American Commercial College (ACC).
