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.

NC kills 2,250-job incentives package in Charlotte after Allstate fails to meet goals

One of the largest economic projects in recent North Carolina history was terminated by the state Tuesday after generating no new jobs.

The North Carolina Economic Investment Committee ended its 2017 incentive agreement with the insurance giant Allstate, which had pledged to add at least 2,250 new employees to its operations center in Charlotte.

In a July 12 letter to the committee, Allstate said the surge in remote work, which began during the COVID-19 pandemic, made it challenging for the company to comply with its initial hiring commitment.

“We’ve concluded that our new workplace model is incompatible with (the grant program) rules,” wrote Eric Steffe, the company’s director of global corporate real estate. “Under our policies, the vast majority of our North Carolina employees are no longer directly associated with a physical work location and are therefore ineligible to be counted as project site or (grant) remote employees.”

At the end of last year, Steffe noted, only 213 of Allstate’s North Carolina employees elected to physically work at their existing campus in Charlotte.

The company could have received up to $17.8 million in payroll tax breaks from the state. Instead, North Carolina paid no money from its initial job development investment grant, or JDIG, while local governments have given the project cash grants worth $1.4 million.

Allstate has spent at least $34 million on expanding its Charlotte site, state records show.

Back in 2017, Allstate executives believed the initial job target of 2,250 was likely too conservative.

The company already employed more than 1,400 in the area, and according to documents obtained by The Charlotte Observer, Allstate told state officials its hiring could go “well beyond” the announced figure.

“This is one of the largest job announcements in history for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area at one time,” Gov. Roy Cooper said at the time.

Six years later, the project is officially over. There were clear signs Allstate was falling behind its job pledge; under the company’s first proposed hiring schedule, it would have added 2,250 positions by 2020.

In his letter to the state, Steffe said he felt Allstate’s employee-choice work environment could permit more aggressive hiring throughout North Carolina. He added that “without question, Allstate continues to view the State of North Carolina as a strategic market to attract talent, and an excellent place for our employees to reside.”

Allstate may be one of the larger state-backed economic projects to fall short but it’s not an outlier.

Most of the job development investment grants awarded by North Carolina don’t meet their initial announced job or investment targets, a recent News & Observer analysis found.

Since North Carolina began awarding JDIGs in 2003, early-terminated grants have outnumbered completed grants by more than 3-to-1. From 2003 to 2015, the majority of awarded JDIGs ended prematurely in every year but one.

Hope is not lost – Whataburger could still be coming to Charlotte

Whataburger fans, there is new evidence that the Texas-based burger chain is on its way to Charlotte — potentially at multiple locations — although officials involved with the plans are staying quiet for now.This week, city filings for a ...

This week, city filings for a land development construction plan at 12809 Albemarle Road mention Whataburger in the project description, noting the proposed commercial development “comprises of a drive-thru restaurant in an outparcel of a larger development, ‘Clear Creek Crossing.’” The development is slated to be anchored with a Publix grocery store.

Late Friday, the city of Charlotte provided site development plans prepared for Whataburger by BL Companies, which handles architecture, engineering and land survey work.

Those plans show a building labeled “proposed Whataburger” at the Albemarle Road site with 2,816 square feet of space.

Anita Thomas, a new unit construction project manager for Whataburger, referred questions via email to Donna Tuttle, Whataburger’s vice president of marketing and communications. Tuttle did not return an email. However, Ana Flores of the Hahn Agency, which handles media inquiries for Whataburger, said Friday evening that the company would “be in touch ASAP.”

A voicemail message and email sent Friday to Ryan Stahl of Equinox Development, listed in city filings as the contact for the Clear Creek Crossings development were not returned.

Davis Kirby and Micah Groeber of Atlantic Retail, brokers listed on the Clear Creek Crossings plan, didn’t return voicemail messages left Friday.

In September 2022, CharlotteFive reported that permits were also filed with the city for a potential Whataburger location in a former bank branch building in the Closeburn-Glenkirk neighborhood of Charlotte at 5301 South Blvd.

The property is still listed among those available at Tyvola Square on the Kimco Realty website. But it’s not uncommon for construction or renovation projects to stretch out over several years, particularly since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Voicemail and email messages left with Lee Johnson of Kimco Realty on Friday weren’t immediately returned. An automated message for Matt Hockeborn of Kimco Realty replied that he was out of office until Sept. 10.

Whataburger has been expanding its footprint more aggressively since BDT Capital purchased the company in 2019. In South Carolina, The Post and Courier reported in June that plans for four Whataburger locations were in the works.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – The Atlantic Coast Conference officially announced its new home in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Tuesday, August 29, raising the conference flag and flags of all 15 member institutions at a ceremony at the new office headquarters, Legacy Union’s Bank of America Tower in Uptown Charlotte.

On Sept. 20, 2022, the Atlantic Coast Conference Board of Directors, representing all 15 member institutions, announced that the conference office was relocating its headquarters to Charlotte in 2023.

The unanimous decision completed a comprehensive review and assessment, under the direction of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee, to ensure that the conference office was best positioned for the future and changing dynamics of intercollegiate athletics.

“I am proud to be the mayor of this wonderful city and I’m honored today to be able to raise the City of Charlotte’s flag in the ceremony. I want to say to each of you who are participating in this, on behalf of our entire community we welcome the ACC leadership, the staff, the coaches, the players, and fans,” said Mayor of Charlotte, Vi Lyles. “We’re thrilled to have the following of the ACC and host the conference headquarters in our great city of Charlotte. Thank you for choosing Charlotte, thank you for choosing North Carolina, and we look forward to many years of partnership and memories. Again, let’s have a great ACC year, and welcome to the Queen City.”

“It is a historical day for the ACC as we are welcomed to the Queen City,” said ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips, Ph.D. “This has been a journey over the last 18 months, and we are thrilled to be joining the Charlotte community. We are honored and proud to call Charlotte the home of the ACC.”

“This city (Charlotte) that we all call home is a place that has always opened its arms to the people that come here to better their community, to better their corporation or organization, or to better themselves. We always look forward to having a great addition, like the ACC, in Charlotte,” said CEO and Chairman of Lincoln Harris Johnny Harris. “Few organizations have played a greater role in elevating our region’s presence than the Atlantic Coast Conference. We are excited that our city will be called home to the ACC moving forward.”

The ACC and Charlotte have enjoyed a longstanding partnership that includes the Queen City hosting a significant number of ACC events and championships. In April 2018, the ACC and the Charlotte Sports Foundation announced a 10-year agreement that keeps the ACC Football Championship Game in Charlotte through the 2030 season. The ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament has been played in Charlotte on 13 occasions, including in 2019 at the Spectrum Center. The 2021 and 2022 ACC Baseball Championships were played at Truist Field, and the league has participated in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl since its inception in 2002.

About the Atlantic Coast Conference The Atlantic Coast Conference, now in its 71st year of competition and 15 members strong, has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. ACC members Boston College, Clemson, Duke, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Miami, North Carolina, NC State, Notre Dame, Pitt, Syracuse, Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest continue to build upon the cornerstones on which the league was founded in 1953 with a consistent balance of academics, athletics and integrity. The ACC currently sponsors 28 NCAA sports – 15 for women and 13 for men – with member institutions located in 10 states. In August 2019, ESPN and the ACC partnered to launch ACC Network (ACCN), a 24/7 national network dedicated to ACC sports and league-wide original programming.
