Symptoms Of Low Testosterone Charlotte, 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.

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.

How Does TRT Work?

Before we dive into the many benefits of testosterone replacement therapy from Better Life, it's important that you understand how TRT works.

Testosterone was initially lab synthesized way back in 1935. Since then, it has been used in clinical settings to help address low test levels. Over the last couple of decades, testosterone has become one of the most common medications in the U.S.

TRT works by restoring healthy testosterone levels in men that suffer from low T. TRT is not too different from insulin needed by diabetics. Essentially, the body lacks a healthy production of a necessary hormone, so it needs to be "replaced" with an exogenous source - in this case, testosterone.

While most men start taking TRT after 50, more men in their 30s and 40s are having their testosterone levels checked at clinics like Better Life Carolinas. If you think you're "too young" to try testosterone replacement therapy but find yourself suffering from symptoms like ED, it wouldn't hurt to have a doctor measure your T levels.

Benefits of Using TRT

If you're looking for TRT in Charlotte, NC, it's easy to understand why. Hundreds of thousands of men have reclaimed their vigor and youth with regular testosterone replacement therapy. With Better Help to guide the way, you too can experience the many benefits of TRT.

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

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.

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

TRT FAQs

What is testosterone?

A: Testosterone is a hormone found in both men and women. Also referred to as an androgen, testosterone is a hormone that helps the formation of male body characteristics. Normal testosterone levels for men are between 300 to 1,010 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL). As men and women age, they can expect their testosterone levels to decrease naturally. However, conditions like obesity and type 2 diabetes and injuries to the testicles can affect T levels. Whether from natural causes or injury, testosterone levels can become abnormally low in some individuals, which is often when TRT is the most helpful.

Is TRT Safe?

A: Clinical trials show that TRT is both safe and effective for men with hypogonadism and abnormally low levels of testosterone. When prescribed by a doctor, TRT is very safe so long as there are no external risks present. Clinics like Better Life offer comprehensive health plans that include TRT and other revolutionary treatments to improve quality of life. These treatments are only conducted after rigorous testing to ensure treatment is necessary. However, TRT is not for everyone. Generally speaking, testosterone replacement therapy is not a good idea for people with diabetes, prostate cancer, and cardiovascular diseases.

What Forms of TRT Are Available?

A: There are several TRT options on the market today, including injections, gels, implants, pills, and patches. After your free consultation and testing, the Better Life team of doctors and specialists will speak with you about the best options for your unique needs.

Charlotte faces ‘dangerous’ wind chills & low temps from Arctic blast, weather service says

Charlotte faces “dangerous” low temperatures and wind chills from an approaching Arctic air mass, National Weather Service meteorologists said in an alert Saturday.

“Confidence is high that it will be very cold,” forecasters said earlier on the social media site X.

The NWS also is monitoring the chance of a wintry mix from a separate weather system, according to the NWS office in Greer, South Carolina.

Charlotte has a slim, 20% chance of snow showers on Tuesday and a 50% chance Tuesday night and early Wednesday, according to the NWS forecast at 4 p.m. Saturday.

The larger concern is the wind chill, predicted to be 5 to 8 degrees in Charlotte Monday night and early Tuesday and again Tuesday night and early Wednesday, NWS meteorologist Ashley Rehnberg told The Charlotte Observer.

Wind chill is what the temperature feels like, including wind.

“This prolonged cold period meets the definition of a ‘cold wave,’” NWS meteorologists said in a special weather statement early Saturday. “Its duration sets it apart from cold snaps of the kind we see multiple times each winter, and the associated impacts are expected to be more significant.”

High electricity demand could case outages, forecaster said.

“Those who require electricity for heating or medical equipment should consider backup heat or electrical sources,” according to the NWS.

Temperatures 15 to 20 degrees below normal are forecast in the Charlotte area, the mountains, N.C. foothills and Upstate South Carolina late Monday through Wednesday morning, according to the NWS.

A low of 21 degrees is forecast for Charlotte on Sunday night and early Monday; 16 degrees on Monday night and early Tuesday; 17 degrees on Tuesday night and early Wednesday; and 14 degrees on Wednesday night and early Thursday, according to the NWS.

Expected lows barely improve on Thursday and Friday nights, at a respective 21 and 22 degrees.

Frigid highs are likewise forecast after Sunday’s predicted high of 55 in Charlotte: 33 on Monday and Tuesday, 32 on Wednesday and 36 on Thursday.

Highs should edge up to 42 on Friday and 44 on Saturday, the forecast showed.

Those temperatures would represent the lowest of the winter season so far in Charlotte and elsewhere in the Carolinas, Rehnberg said.

Limit time outdoors, check on the elderly and other vulnerable people, and bundle up your pets, too, NWS urged.

A North Carolina beach destination was recently recognized as one of the most charming small towns in the country.

HGTV included Ocracoke Island, at the southern tip of the state’s Outer Banks region, on its 50 most charming small towns in America list.

“Residents of Ocracoke Island, North Carolina, like to say their town is the ‘cure for the common beach.’ The beach is accessible by ferry and sits beside Silver Lake, a scenic harbor. It’s popular for its shops and restaurants, historic British cemetery and its light station, the oldest still operating in the state,” HGTV wrote.

“Like a good scare? Take a ghost walk with a descendant of Blackbeard’s quartermaster, or catch a short boat ride to Portsmouth Island’s so-called ghost village.”

The HGTV list is the latest in a string of accolades the region has received. Last year, Southern Living named the Outer Banks as the most beautiful place in North Carolina, The Charlotte Observer reported.

CharlotteFive readers also named Ocracoke Island among their favorite beach destinations in the Carolinas last year due to its “laid back” feel and lack of crowds.

Ocracoke Island remained largely untouched by early English settlers due to dangerous sailing conditions until the late 1600s, when a port was established that connected the island to mainland communities, according to outerbanks.com.

The port quickly became successful, attracting pirates, including the infamous Blackbeard, who used the island’s geography to launch surprise attacks on passing ships. Blackbeard made the region his base of operations until his death in 1718, when the island returned to being a bustling port.

In the early 1900s, tourism began to grow due to the island’s excellent hunting and fishing, with further development in the 1950s and ‘60s when ferry service was introduced, the town’s tourism website says.

By the 1970s, Ocracoke had become a popular tourist destination, with its unique history and remote location attracting many visitors.

There are plenty of things to do on Ocracoke Island, according to visitocracokenc.com:

Ocracoke Island is only accessible by car ferry, visitocracokenc.com says. There are three ferry options:

Online reservations for ferries are currently not available, but you can call 1-800-293-3779 to book a reservation or for assistance.

The City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County will delay trash services for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday.

During the whole week of MLK Day (which is Monday, Jan. 20), all trash and recycling collection services will operate on a one-day delay starting Monday, according to City of Charlotte Solid Waste Services.

This means, for example, collections regularly scheduled on Wednesday, Jan. 22 or Thursday, Jan. 23 will also receive service the following day.

▪ Mecklenburg County solid waste centers will reopen on Tuesday, Jan. 21.

Hazardous and flammable items such as batteries, gas containers and chemicals, should not be placed in garbage and recycling carts, the city says. Instead of throwing hazardous items in the trash, take them to one of the county’s full-service centers.

More information is available on the City of Charlotte Solid Waste Services website, charlottenc.gov. For questions, call the city at 704-336-7600.

Mecklenburg County towns, including Cornelius, Davidson, Matthews, Mint Hill, Pineville and Huntersville, will operate on normal trash pickup schedules this week.

You can also place your real Christmas tree at the curb after removing all of the decorations, including lights, ornaments, tinsel and tree stands.

Artificial trees and all wreaths should be scheduled for bulky item collection. You can schedule bulky items by calling 311, visiting curbit.charlottenc.gov or using the CLT+ app.

You can find your collection day by visiting the GeoPortal. Just type in your address to be reminded of what day of the week you receive service and if you are an orange or green recycling week.

The United Way hosts an annual event where snack kits serve residents throughout the Charlotte community.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Hundreds of volunteers gathered in north Charlotte on Saturday to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy through United Way of Greater Charlotte's annual MLK Call to Service event, assembling thousands of snack kits for local nonprofits and after-school programs.

The event, hosted at Northside Charlotte, brought together people from various backgrounds to pack more than 3,000 snack kits for community distribution.

"We want to pull people together from all walks of life," said Kathryn Firmin-Sellers, Interim President and CEO of the United Way of Greater Charlotte. She emphasized that the day's service activities were meant to spark ongoing community engagement.

"We want people to engage with them and really learn about them, so that the active service we start today doesn't end today, and we can continue this service year-round," she added.

The event also served as a platform for emerging nonprofits to connect with the community. Project Outpour, one such organization, showcased its mobile shower and hygiene services for unhoused residents.

"Today's opportunity allows us to expand that reach and also creates opportunity for our community to get involved and volunteer with our neighbors," said MaShana Hughes, Chief Dignity Officer at Project Outpour.

United Way leaders emphasized the importance of individual participation in community improvement efforts.

"The one thing I want everyone to know is that they are part of the solution," Firmin-Sellers said. "They are part of and can actively help create the world we all want to see."

The event drew participants from various local organizations, including WCNC Charlotte team members, all working together to support the community's needs.
