 Symptoms Of Low Testosterone Ballantyne, NC

Hair Loss

Testosterone has a role in many body functions, including the production of hair follicles. Many men lose hair and begin balding as they age; however, men with low testosterone can also suffer from loss of body hair. While there is an inherited component to balding, you should be wary of hair loss, especially if hair loss is not common in your bloodline.

 Benefits Of Using TRT Ballantyne, NC

Increased Body Fat

Let's be honest here: a man's sex life can be thrown into ruin when they get fat. This is especially true when a man has low T and develops symptoms like gynecomastia or large breasts. Of course, getting fatter means you're looking at a litany of new health problems like high cholesterol and diabetes. It seems like middle-aged men just accept the fact that they're going to get fat. But, it doesn't have to be that way. Men who find themselves developing more fat around their stomachs can correct their testosterone imbalance with TRT from Better Life.

Fatigue

Have you noticed that you feel sluggish, tired, or apathetic on your days off? Men with low testosterone have reported lower energy levels and extreme fatigue, even when not working full time. You might have low T if you're constantly tired despite getting eight hours of sleep or more.

Brain Fog

Many men experience changes in concentration, focus, and productivity as they age. Though it's not a serious medical condition, brain fog is usually a symptom of other medical problems, like low testosterone. Men with brain fog experience a lack of mental clarity, problems with memory, lack of focus, and poor concentration. This problem interferes with everyday tasks at work and home, but with hormone therapy, it doesn't have to be an ongoing problem in your life.

Some of the most common benefits that our patients cite include:

 Benefits Of Using TRT Ballantyne, NC

Healthier Heart

A healthy heart pumps blood throughout your body, giving organs and muscles the oxygen they need to perform. Testosterone helps red blood cell production through the bone marrow. When you have low T levels, your muscles and organs will often suffer. Low T levels have been attributed to a number of cardiovascular problems, which is cause for concern.

However, a study of 83,000 men found that males whose testosterone levels returned to normal were 36% less likely to experience a stroke 24% less likely to experience a heart attack. This promising sign shows that TRT can actually help keep your heart and blood healthy.

Stronger Bones

Testosterone plays a crucial role in bone density. Bone mineral density decreases as men get older and T levels drop. This drop in testosterone raises the risk of developing osteoporosis. Strong bones help support your organs and muscles, boosting quality of life and even athletic performance. Research shows that bone density increases with higher doses of TRT. Some clinical trials recently found that testosterone also increases hip and spinal bone density.

 Testosterone Replacement Therapy Ballantyne, NC

Increased Libido

One of the most popular reasons why men choose TRT from Better Life Age Management Wellness Center is to enjoy increased libido. Testosterone levels rise in response to sexual activity and arousal. It's well known that men with higher levels of testosterone have more sexual activity. However, older men need more testosterone for healthy erectile function and libido. TRT is often a viable solution for older men who are looking to reignite that special spark with their spouse.

Additional benefits of using TRT can include:

  • Less Body Fat
  • Better Sleep
  • More Confidence
  • Better Mood
  • More Muscle Mass
  • Improved Brain Function
  • Better Stress Management
  • Lower LDL Levels
  • Improved Blood Sugar Regulation

It’s Always Sunny in Ballantyne: A Look at Lee’s Hoagie House

Entrepreneur Robert Russo brings a Philly original to Charlotte

“A lot of people like Cheez Whiz and just dump it on,” Robert Russo tells me as our server, Sandy, delivers my cheesesteak with a side of bright yellow cheese sauce. I’ve known Robert for approximately 12 minutes, but I let him order for me because he seems like someone who knows the proper way to eat Philadelphia’s signature sandwich. “You have to drizzle it while it’s still hot, because once it settles, it’s not as good, and the bread gets soggy,” he says. “That’s the route I go.”

Robert grew up going to Lee’s Hoagie House in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania. (The original location, on Philadelphia’s Cheltenham Avenue, began serving its famous cheesesteaks in 1953.) It became a ritual to stop by the sandwich shop after his soccer games. The Blue Bell location closed two years ago, but 14 others remain open in metropolitan Philly. Now, Robert owns the first Lee’s franchise in North Carolina and only the second outside the Philadelphia area.

He never set out to be a restaurant owner. The 46-year-old is CEO of Independent Advisor Alliance, a Charlotte-based firm that works with more than 250 financial advisers in 25 states. He and his wife, Natalia, are parents to 11-year-old Chase and 9-year-old Tyler. Like their dad, both boys are avid sports fans, and Robert loves to coach their Little League and basketball teams.

Charlotte has been home since 2006, but Robert still cheers for the Philadelphia Eagles. Before his team won its first Super Bowl in 2018, he wanted to find an authentic Philly cheesesteak in Charlotte. “Hoagies and cheesesteaks were just a way of life growing up,” Robert says, “and they go hand-in-hand with cheering on your favorite team.” A Google search revealed a Lee’s Hoagie House in Lake Wylie that had opened the year before. They were willing to franchise in North Carolina, so Robert secured one for Charlotte.

Then COVID hit and delayed the project for more than two years. In early 2022, Robert signed a lease on a space in Old Lancaster Town Center in Ballantyne, steps away from his home and a few miles from his office. He interviewed close to 20 candidates before he hired General Manager Rob Hogya to lead the kitchen. Robert needed someone who shared his vision and could master those authentic Philadelphia flavors. “I run the financials,” he says. “Rob runs everything else.”

They opened in December with little fanfare and have relied on word of mouth to build their customer base. “This is more of a passion project than it is profit-focused,” Robert says. “I want both my boys to grow up coming here and working and going through that process. It’s good for them. Chase comes during football season, and we clear tables and greet people.”

Like the original, Lee’s serves hoagies, cheesesteaks, wings, burgers, and an array of sides like Cheese Bites, Onion Rings, and Old Bay Fries. Hogya spent three days in Philadelphia learning how to sling an authentic cheesesteak and selecting the ingredients he sources from local suppliers. He and Robert also agreed they’d need a special oven to bake their bread daily. “We set it to replicate the humidity levels (in Philadelphia),” Robert says. “It’s like when places bring in New York water for their bagels.”

Lee’s is an anomaly in the stick-to-the-script restaurant franchising world. It allows its franchise owners leeway to make their locations their own. The kids menu includes Chase’s Famous Hot Dog and T’s Sweet Street, named for Tyler. “You’re basically buying their recipes and access to places that will send you the ingredients,” Robert says. “Our only restriction is the amount of meat we can put on a sandwich. So we let you order them ‘The Ballantyne Way’ and double the meat.”

Unlike those narrow, counter-serve eateries in Philadelphia, the Ballantyne location has space for tables, flat-screens, and a self-serve tap wall with beer, wine, and prosecco. The walls are lined with framed jerseys of Robert’s favorite sports teams, like the 76ers, Phillies, Tennessee Volunteers (his alma mater), and Hornets (after 17 years in Charlotte, he’s a fan).

Once I’ve polished off my sandwich, Hogya drops a basket of wings on our table. They’re not on the menu yet; he’s still tinkering with the parmesan-garlic sauce. I grab one for myself (they’re amazing) and offer one to Robert, who shakes his head. “I eat here a lot,” he says with a smile, “so I have to be careful.”

A Cuban restaurant in Lake Norman is expanding with a second location in Ballantyne

A second location of Azucar, a Cuban restaurant in Lake Norman, is opening in Ballantyne Village at the end of October.

“We’re starting to grow,” co-owner Alex Gutierrez said.

His family owned restaurant focusing on modern Cuban cuisine opened in Huntersville in February 2022, and things have taken off from there. They’re also owners of Tacos & Tortilla Factory, which has been a hit since the fast-casual spot opened in Huntersville.

Both restaurants have led to happy customers wanting more.

“it’s been pretty good. Our chef is a very well knowleged chef — he’s from Cuba,” Gutierrez said of Azucar. “His vision of having this type of menu is because he believes if Cuba … was able to grow and explore culturally, they’d have this type of cuisine.”

The twists to Azucar’s modern approach include using cauliflower mash instead of rice in its Ropa Nueva take on ropa vieja and gnocchi made with yuca — one of the restaurant’s best sellers. The gnocchi, paired with rolled steak and a blue cheese sauce, is one of Gutierrez’s favorites, as well. Other popular dishes include its braised oxtail Rabo and Cuban rolls.

The restaurant’s new location, tucked between Main Street Coffee and Fiore Cocktails & Tapas in Ballantyne Village, will include a full bar. Look for mojitos, of course, along with sangrias, punchbowls and a Cuba libre.

“We just want them to try new stuff … the roots are traditional, but it’s not the same,” Gutierrez said.

Location: Ballantyne Village, 14825 Ballantyne Village Way, Suite A-150, Charlotte, NC 28277 (opening this fall)

There will be almost 14,000 square feet of indoor space, along with a 7,000-square-foot outdoor patio area with views of the Ballantyne development's main street. There will also be a second floor with bar seating, as well as a mezzanine balcony.

The Amp, an event space that will be used to hold ticketed and free events, was completed in April. They plan to open in the fall and already have plans to host the punk rock band All Time Low, along with Gym Class Heroes, on Sept. 26, 2023.
