Few things are guaranteed in life, but there is one thing that you can count on for sure: as time goes on, your body is going to age. While most men in their late teens through their twenties might feel invincible, it's only a matter of time before age starts to play a role in everyday life. Injuries take longer to recover from, hangovers take longer to dissipate, aches and pains become a normal part of life, and intimate time with your partner can be compromised. If you have experienced any of the symptoms above, don't worry - it's completely normal to slow down as you get older.
The question is, what are you going to do about the aging process? For years, men were told to just "live with it". The time to fight back is here, and there has never been a better opportunity to live your best life than now. Nobody understands the effects that aging can have on men but our team of professionals at Better Life do. That is why we invest all of our time developing innovative, effective men's health solutions: to give men a chance to change their future and live like they did while they were in their prime. If you're ready to take a stand against ED and live a more energetic, youthful life, know that you're not alone. At Better Life Carolinas, we are here to help by providing the most scientifically advanced treatments on the market today.
When it comes to men's health, the topic of sex can still feel taboo, especially when there are performance issues involved. At Better Life Carolinas, we have heard just about every story you can imagine regarding erectile dysfunction or ED. So if you're embarrassed and angry about your performance in the bedroom, we understand how you're feeling. In the past, men had to take strange drugs or sign off on expensive surgeries to help correct their ED, adding to their feelings of shame and hopelessness.
The good news? If you're a man dealing with ED, you don't have to settle for antiquated treatments like those referenced above. There's a new product on the block: a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment that is the first of it's kind. It's called GAINSWave®, and you can bet your bottom dollar that it isn't like anything else you have tried before.
Unlike most ED treatments, this unique approach does not require drugs or surgery. Instead, it relies on high-frequency acoustic waves to open the penis's existing blood vessels, encouraging the growth of new blood vessels while eliminating micro-plaque. To put it simply, GAINSWave® increases blood flow and gives you a chance to reclaim your libido and live life like a man in his prime.
GAINSWave® isn't a sketchy, quick-fix pill found behind the glass at a gas station. It is a comprehensive erectile dysfunction treatment with an incredible 76% success rate. With virtually no side effects, it's no wonder that men throughout the Carolinas and across the United States trust GAINSWave® to solve their ED and Peyronie's disease problems.
It might sound like GAINSWave® is too good to be true, but the fact is this kind of erectile dysfunction treatment in Monroe, NC uses scientifically-backed, time-tested technologies and applications to improve male sexual performance. Technically referred to as Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (LI-ESWT), our GAINSWave® procedure goes right to the crux of the issue. Low-intensity sound waves break up plaque formation in your penis while stimulating new blood vessel growth. These new blood vessels help get more blood to your penis, ultimately improving your ability to perform. This incredible treatment not only increases blood flow - it also causes new nerve tissues to grow, making your penis more sensitive and easily stimulated.
It all happens through a process called neurogenesis, which increases penis sensitivity. What sets GAINSWave® apart from others is the use of low-intensity sound waves to achieve increased blood flow and sensitivity. Because this procedure is completely non-invasive, you won't ever have to worry about expensive insurance claims or unsightly scarring. All you have to worry about is enjoying life like you used to, without having to undergo surgery or putting harmful substances in your body.
Here are some quick facts about Better Life Carolinas GAINSWave® treatments:
If you have ever wondered why GAINSWave® treatments are so popular with men, the answer is simple. Prescription drugs meant to help ED often come with side effects that can diminish your peace of mind and day-to-day life. While some men swear by the "little blue pill," many guys aren't aware of the hidden risks associated with drugs like Viagra. The following ailments can happen both in the short term and long term
If you are having problems with erectile dysfunction, you should understand why it's happening. The primary cause of ED is associated with a lack of blood flow to the penis, making erections difficult to get and maintain. Rather than relying on a prescription pill for a quick fix, many men are using GAINSWave® treatment in Monroe, NC for a natural solution with no ill side effects. ED doesn't have to be your "new normal," and neither does suffering from strange side effects from popping too many "little blue pills."
The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on the world. Over the last year, millions of Americans have had to change their lifestyles and alter daily routines to better protect themselves and their loved ones from the virus. While COVID-19 causes a litany of negative side effects, new research shows that men who contract the virus can triple their risk of developing erectile dysfunction. Because the human body is unfamiliar with this kind of virus, it responds by sending a large immune response. During this process, the body uses massive amounts of chemicals to eliminate the virus, causing horrible collateral damage in the form of cell destruction and inflammation.
Contracting COVID-19 and suffering from ED at the same time might sound like a death sentence. However, if you are a man experiencing ED during or after contracting the COVID-19 virus, don't lose hope.
Clinical trials have shown that shockwave therapy, better known as GAINSWave®, has been shown to lower inflammation and boost vascularity by creating angiogenesis and improving endothelial function. Simply put, GAINSWave® treatments can help reverse symptoms of ED brought on by COVID-19. To learn more about how GAINSWave® can help you get back to a normal sex life after developing COVID-19, we recommend contacting our office today.
Though Peyronie's Disease affects about 9% of men, it is a little-known disease that can cause physical and aesthetic issues. It is characterized by fibrous scar tissue, which forms underneath the surface of a man's penis. When this disease is left untreated or treated improperly, it can be very difficult for men to have a normal erection. This is because Peyronie's Disease can cause painful curvatures in the penis, making it nearly impossible for afflicted men to have sexual intercourse at all.
The cause of Peyronie's Disease is currently unknown. However, most cases stem from physical trauma like acute injuries after vigorous sex. Other causes include prostate surgery, autoimmune disorders, and family history. Unfortunately, traditional treatment options range from a "wait and see" approach to prescription drugs and even surgery.
Most guys will tell you that their penis is the most important part of their body. While that is not totally true from a physiological perspective, we get where they're coming from - after all, a man's penis plays a big role in his personal life and overall wellbeing. When a man has problems achieving and maintaining an erection, his quality of life can suffer dramatically, resulting in lower self-esteem and even depression. If you are a man and suffering from ED or Peyronie's Disease, you can rest easy knowing help is only a phone call away.
In addition to GAINSWave® treatments, Better Life Carolinas also offers the Priapus Shot or P-Shot® for short. Originally used to treat wounds and sports injuries, our P-Shot® is an all-natural treatment that fortifies your body through cellular repair and rejuvenation. P-Shot® treatments have shown very promising results for men who have suffered from prostate cancer, enlarged prostates, the side effects of surgery, drug side effects from prescription pain killers, and even diabetes.
Benefits of Better Life Carolinas' P-Shot® include:
You might be asking yourself, "How does the P-Shot® work?"
This ED solution works by using platelet-rich plasma or PRP from your own body. The proteins and growth factors released by the large number of platelets activate your stem cells, which begins cellular regeneration and repair wherever the PRP are used in your body. Tissue repair in your penis is further aided by the formation of new blood vessels and collagen production.
In many cases, men who use the P-Shot® to correct erectile dysfunction or the effects of Peyronie's Disease can resume sexual activity a few hours after the treatment is applied.

MONROE, N.C. (WBTV) - Dozens of couples eagerly planning their dream weddings at the Champagne Manor in Monroe have been forced to start over after the venue abruptly announced its closure.
Those who had weddings booked there have only been told that the venue closed after financial issues and that a refund of their money is in the works.
The Champagne Manor, known for its “distinguished European style” and picturesque grounds, has been a popular wedding destination.
Couples like Clara Vengoechea and her fiancé, Will Adams, were captivated by its charm. They booked the venue more than a year ago, aiming for a stress-free, long engagement. However, their plans unraveled last week when they received a late-night email from the venue’s owner, Jason Lottman.
“He wasn’t home when I read it,” Vengoechea said about her fiancé. “He walked through the door like, right after I read it. And I was like, ‘we’re not getting married.’…I was mostly just in shock.”
In the email, Lottman explained that financial struggles led to the foreclosure of the property earlier this year, forcing him to close the venue and cancel all weddings.
For Clara and Will, who had invested over $30,000 into their May wedding, the news was devastating.
“It really sucks because our parents helped us a lot to pay for this wedding,” Clara shared. “I know my mom worked so hard to be able to save that money. It’s something that she’s been saving for and it sucks.”
The couple is not alone.
Other affected couples have formed a network, sharing stories of canceled weddings and lost deposits. Many are now considering legal action to recover their funds. Court documents reveal that Lottman and his company have faced multiple lawsuits in recent years, including allegations of breach of contract.
Vengoechea and Adams say that in hindsight, there were red flags. According to them, Lottman had made many promises that he never delivered on.
For instance, when they booked the venue – Lottman promised them that by the time their wedding happened, there would be new cabins built on property to house guests and a new ballroom for the reception. Neither of those promises ever happened.
“We kind of saw a lot of the red flags and things after we had, you know, already given him some money,” Adams said. “and then you feel like you’re locked in a little bit.”
For now, the couples are scrambling to find new venues and vendors on short notice. The emotional and financial toll is immense, with many fearing they may never see their money again.
“This is always going to kind of taint the experience,” Vengoechea said. “This shouldn’t have happened.”
Lottman did not respond to a request for comment from WBTV. According to Vengoechea, Adams and other couple impacted, Lottman has not been in touch with any of them since the original email. And while Lottman wrote that he plans to refund the couples, none of them had seen and money sent back yet.

Kaegan Chambers put the game in his own hands early, and it worked well for state title game-bound Monroe.
On the second drive of the Redhawks’ 41-15 drubbing of Brevard in the North Carolina 2A regional final, the athletic dual-threat quarterback scrambled for an 81-yard touchdown. Chambers juked several defenders before hitting paydirt, giving Monroe an advantage from which it wouldn’t look back.
Chambers, who has five Division I offers including the Charlotte 49ers, impressed with both his arm and legs throughout the Redhawks’ dominant win Friday night in Union County.
“It felt like they were going to pack the box and try to stop our (running) backs, and that would just leave me open on the edges,” Chambers said. “And once I’m gone, they can’t catch me. Just trying to put my team in a position to win. This is my last time playing here, unfortunately, but we went out with a bang. That’s all we wanted.
“We’ve been talking about this since the summer and spring of last season. We didn’t want to feel the same hurting we felt last season, going to Bunker Hill and falling short (in a 29-28 loss before the state quarterfinals). We just wanted to get our seniors and underclassmen on board, and we wanted to go do this thing.”
Monroe is now set to play Northeastern — which earned a 24-14 win over Whiteville on Friday night in Elizabeth City — in next week’s 2A state championship game.
Chambers had already posted more than 200 rushing yards early in the second quarter.
Monroe didn’t stop following its quarterback’s initial long rushing touchdown that came on second down and long. Chambers exploded for a 73-yard burst, bolting down the sideline to set up a short touchdown carry from senior running back Zion Lindsey.
Possessions from Brevard, whose blue-clad fans were well-represented on the road in Union County, weren’t lasting long. But while Monroe had taken a commanding lead early, penalties continued to give the Blue Devils chances.
Even Chambers had several big runs called back, but the standout senior quarterback made more than enough highlights that mattered. A 56-yard touchdown rush — punctuated by a two-point conversion from nine yards out — gave Monroe a 21-0 lead.
“Kaegan was that guy where we knew we had a secret weapon,” Monroe head coach Johnny Sowell said. “We know he can throw the ball. We know he can run it. And that was a matchup that we knew was going to be tough for a lot of people.”
With the Redhawks already ahead by four touchdowns, a strong Brevard kick return set it up in plus territory late in the first half. Junior quarterback Christian Conley fired a pass to senior tight end Judson Weaver for a big fourth down conversion — but the Blue Devils ended up turning it over on downs after a great stop by the Monroe defense.
Chambers kept going throughout the second half, hustling for another touchdown rush early in the third quarter before tossing one to junior receiver Bryson Simpkins.
Brevard added a touchdown during the final seconds of regulation: Junior running back Karter Macfie punched it in and made it 41-15.
“People have doubted us every week. Second round when we played Burns, they say we haven’t played any physical teams. We came out there, hit them in the mouth. Third round, West Stokes, they say we couldn’t handle their big line. Came out there, hit them in the mouth as well. Fourth round, they had Shelby beating us. They said we couldn’t stop their athletes or just couldn’t compete with them.
“Went and took over their place. And then this week, they said we weren’t able to stop their run. They had us losing; ‘We’re gonna flop like we do every year.’ So we just keep proving everybody wrong. We’ve just got one more, and there’s nothing else that they can say.” — Monroe senior Jordan Young, the Michigan-bound wide receiver and cornerback
Monroe will play Northeastern next week for the NCHSAA 2A state championship, set for 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Kenan Memorial Stadium in Chapel Hill.

SHELBY — Championships tend to mean more at Shelby, the Golden Lions’ 19 titles among the most in North Carolina. Such also makes anything short of the goal that much tougher to swallow.
Shelby’s hope of adding to its trophy case ended Friday in the NCHSAA 2A West semifinal round, falling to unbeaten Monroe, 41-23. The loss ended the Golden Lions’ 40-game home playoff winning streak which dated back to 2009.
“I appreciate our guys, they put in a lot of work, sacrificed a lot to get to this point and it hurts,” said Shelby football coach Mike Wilbanks. “We had a lot of fun together. That’s why it’s so hard when it ends; we enjoyed the grind. But it came to an end to a really good football team.”

LEAGUE CHAMPS:How Shelby football pushed through a topsy-turvy week to claim another league title
After Immanuel Collins returned a kickoff for a Shelby touchdown midway through the second quarter, Monroe reeled off 28 consecutive points. Quarterback Kaegan Chambers led the charge, completing a 31-yard touchdown pass to Michigan signee Jordan Young to help tie the game 21-all, before his 47-yard TD run just before halftime gave the Redhawks their first lead at 28-21.
Monroe added to its lead to start the third, Zion Lindsey’s 30-yard TD run — his second of the night — putting his team up 35-21. Chambers put a cap on a virtuoso effort in the fourth, threading the needle to find senior wideout Jamari Clark for his fourth TD of the night.
The Monroe quarterback also had a 70-yard TD run in the first half.
Shelby started well, though, going 67 yards on 11 plays culminating in a Jaylen Tate 1-yard TD run. After a Lindsey TD run pulled Monroe even, Shelby responded with another lengthy drive, driving 69 yards in 12 plays and ending with an 8-yard TD pass from quarterback Lan Farmer to Tate.
The Golden Lion offense struggled to find a spark after that drive, stymied by a stout Monroe defense.
“I thought early on and we got a stop here or there, maybe a pick or fumble, maybe we could do some things,” Wilbanks said. “But once we got down two scores, it was just too tough for us to overcome.”
Shelby’s two points in the second half came on a safety in the fourth quarter.
Friday ended on a sour note for Shelby, but there is a silver lining for it heading into 2025 and the NCHSAA’s new 8-class system. The Golden Lions return a wealth of talent on both sides of the football, especially offensively as they’ll bring back Farmer, Tate and much of a young, yet talented receiving corps.
“When you look at offense and defense, we started a bunch of freshmen and sophomores, particularly at wide receiver where we are losing only one senior,” Wilbanks said. “We feel good about ourselves moving forward, but right now this loss certainly hurts a lot.”
