For some men, getting older can be an exciting time where years of hard work culminate into a fun, fruitful transition into retirement. It's a time to cross off bucket-list items and live life to the fullest, without the stress kids or business getting in the way. However, aging is a scary prospect for other men, filled with exhaustion, depression, and inability to perform in the bedroom.

If you're ready to live a more energetic, youthful life, know that it's never too late or too early to do so. But, how do you know you are a candidate for testosterone replacement therapy? Like most things in life, your body will do its part in letting you know.
Over the years, researchers have discovered that the prevalence of low testosterone in men increases from about 20% of men older than 60 to 50% of men older than 80.
To make matters worse, about 40% of men with high cholesterol and blood pressure levels also have low T. Additionally, about 50% of obese men experience low testosterone. If you fall into any of these categories, you should begin to think about ways to change your life, like diet, exercise, and TRT.
If erectile dysfunction has put a cold blanket over the spark between you and your partner, it's time to make a change. About half of men between 35 and 65 deal with erectile dysfunction and its frustrations daily. Fortunately, at Better Life, we have effective solutions to get you back to a place where spontaneity is welcomed and peak performance is common.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you're looking for TRT in Clover, SC, 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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.

YORK CO., S.C. (WBTV) - With power out for more than three days for many, some school districts in our area were closed on Monday, including Rock Hill Schools, Clover Schools and York District One.
Along SC Hwy 161 in York County, just over the North Carolina line, power crews lined the road as they worked to put up six new power poles that linemen say fell like dominoes during Helene.
“You change the tension on one pole, and it gets to be too much, and it falls and then the next one and the next one, and the next one,” described Shannon Littleton, a foreman for this York Electric Cooperative crew.

It’s a scene that was far too common in our area and beyond.
“This is unprecedented for the state of South Carolina,” said Porter Gable, Vice President of Communications and Outreach for York Electric Cooperative. “We haven’t seen damage like this since Hugo. Specifically, in our area we had 20,000 meters without power during Hurricane Hugo. That was our entire system. Now we’ve grown over 70,000 meters and 34,000 meters were without power because of Hurricane Helene.”
But York Electric Cooperative lineman got right to work once winds allowed.
“We’ve been working about 18 hours and 19 hours a day since Friday,” said Littleton. When asked how he is feeling more than three days in Littleton added, “I’m tired. I used to not get as tired, but I’ve been doing this a good little while now. But this isn’t just about us. It’s about our families at home.”
Littleton said he also lost power at his home, and it was restored two days after the storm. “It’s tough to go to work and go home in the dark, but we gotta do, what we gotta do.”
Not too far from SC Hwy 161, more people in the town of Clover were starting to see power come back online. Before the start of Monday, 7,000 families in the district were still without power.
“Over in Bethany. They are going on 60+ hours with no power,” said Charity Upchurch, a Clover resident. We caught up with Charity and her son Caleb while they were walking the track at a closed Clover Middle.
“Luckily, the community really comes together and helps people,” said Charity. “There’s a lot of resources that are going on in the town of Clover, and people are able to reach out on social media and say, ‘Hey, I need [this or that] and they’re able to get it through connections online.”
Meanwhile, power crews are working as quickly as they can.
“We had more than 70 broken poles across our service territory. On average, it takes two to four hours to repair a broken pole,” said Gable. “So, if you think about a crew doing three of those in one day, that’s a very full day’s work.”
“It gets overwhelming,” added Littleton. You just gotta take it one day at a time, one meter at a time, one wire, one pole -- ‘til we get it all back on.”
York Electric Cooperative says the hope is to have much of the power restored in York County by the end of the day today.

They said there are one-offs through the county that may take a little longer for crews to get to each of those areas, but the goal is to have all power restored by Saturday at 11 p.m. The co-op says it also works with Duke Energy to distribute some of its power from transmission lines so that the restoration effort is a partnership.
They also have crews from Alabama, Florida, and Oklahoma assisting in the effort.

“It’s a tremendous thing to work for an electric cooperative,” said Gable. “We’re in this together. We’re going home to a dark house. We’re taking a shower, sometimes a cold shower or sometimes a shower at the co-op. This is our community, and this is our home, and our thoughts and prayers are with the people in North Carolina.”
