Symptoms of Low Testosterone

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 are experiencing any of the following symptoms, it could be time to think about TRT from Better Life:

Symptoms Of Low Testosterone Fort Mill, SC

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 Fort Mill, 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.

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.

“Thank you to all our guests and our dedicated staff for a great five-year run at Kingsley Town Center. We have enjoyed being a part of the community and hope to see many of you over the next nine days to share our love of Mexican street food and bid farewell,” chef/owner Scott Wallen said in a news release.

Wallen added, “This doesn’t necessarily signal the end of Taco Molino. It’s a concept that Burke Hospitality owner Tom Sasser and I love, and we are open to finding a new location for it in the future.”

Tacos, burrito bowls and salads are on the modern Mexican food menu, along with chicken tinga nachos, street corn and fundido cheese enchiladas.

Burke Hospitality, which has managed Taco Molino, is working to relocate the staff there to their other restaurants and has provided letters of recommendation to those looking for change. Burke owns Mimosa Grill and Horace’s Nashville Hot Fried Chicken, plus One Catering.

[CLOSURES: We’re sorry to see them go: Here are the Charlotte restaurants we’ve lost in 2024.]

FORT MILL — Millions of viewers nationwide were tuning in Sunday mornings to an evangelistic church production.

And millions more were making the trip to the same property to enjoy what was coined "Christian Disneyland." At the time, it had a patronage that was only exceeded by the mousy theme parks.

It was all happening in Fort Mill.

In the 1980s, evangelist Jim Bakker and his wife, Tammy Faye Bakker, established Heritage USA in Fort Mill, where they recorded their weekly "Praise the Lord" program. They also used 2,300 acres for a theme park featuring water rides.

The facilities included the 501-room Heritage Grand Hotel, an indoor shopping complex, a skating rink, an amphitheater and a 400-unit campground.

That hotel was where some of Bakker's financial woes began. From 1984 to 1987, Bakker sold “lifetime memberships” to donors willing to plop down $1,000 in return for a three-night stay every year, at any time, in Fort Mill. Although he introduced the concept as a fundraiser for the hotel on his televangelist TV program and said it would be a miracle if it met its goals, he sold thousands of memberships, far exceeding the demand that could be met at the hotel.

The Bakker empire endured several run-ins with tax authorities, but when a sex scandal involving Bakker erupted in 1986, he resigned in disgrace. Americans went rabid for the scandal. Tabloid newspapers frequently wrote about his transgressions and Playboy magazine had an interview and photo spread with Jessica Hahn, a church secretary who said she was in an abusive sexual relationship with him.

Eventually, the theme park components of the property were torn down. Bakker served a prison term for income tax evasion.

And adding insult to injury, Hurricane Hugo forced the park's hotel to shut down a few days prior to its anticipated closure. Power loss and damages from the September 1989 storm prompted the early shuttering. The water park itself had already closed weeks earlier.

Fast forward to 2024, and there's a 21-story reminder of the Heritage USA's past in Fort Mill.

Before its organizational collapse in the late 1980s, Heritage had completed the foundation and exterior of a hotel and timeshare tower on its property. Much of the interior wasn't finished, and it was inherited in 2004 by Morningstar Fellowship Church when it bought the land, which still included a sanctuary and other facilities.

(Morningstar is not to be confused with Morningside USA, which is Bakker's current ministry home.)

After 15 years of vacancy and deterioration, Morningstar president Rick Joyner said he assumed the structure would have to be torn down.

"One of my board members kept pressing me, saying there's nothing wrong with the building," Joyner said in a 2022 YouTube broadcast. "Then I learned, it has never been condemned. The engineering was fine, it was in great shape, it was built way beyond code. Then the question was, is it possible to restore it?"

That led Morningstar to enter a development plan in 2006 with York County to turn the building into an assisted living facility, Joyner said. But from there, conflicts arose.

York County said the agreement required Morningstar to produce a bond for the construction within six months. Joyner disputes whether the county put a firm date on the bond acquisition.

With the deadline missed, the county put the tower property in default. That meant it was impossible for Morningstar to do anything with the building, Joyner said.

After mediation sessions failed, Morningstar filed a lawsuit against the county in 2013, alleging a breach of the development agreement. A judge dismissed the case, but Morningstar has since filed another suit against the county, claiming a violation of religious freedom.

As of Nov. 22, the county and the church announced the slate has been wiped clean.

The entities agreed to settle the lawsuits and create a new schedule for refurbishing the decaying building. Morningstar has 18 months to submit a building permit to the county. If not, the structure must be torn down.

"Morningstar is excited about this historic step forward and plans to provide more information to the general public in the very near future," the church said in a statement to The Post and Courier.

A popular Fort Mill restaurant and pub just closed. Here’s what people are saying.

Killingtons Restaurant & Pub closed its Fort Mill location but will remain in business at its Huntersville, North Carolina, spot.The Baxter restaurant posted on its Facebook page Sunday night that its six-year run in Fort Mill is over.“We had a very difficult decision to make but when it comes down to it, we have to close,” the restaurant stated. “Today...

Killingtons Restaurant & Pub closed its Fort Mill location but will remain in business at its Huntersville, North Carolina, spot.

The Baxter restaurant posted on its Facebook page Sunday night that its six-year run in Fort Mill is over.

“We had a very difficult decision to make but when it comes down to it, we have to close,” the restaurant stated. “Today was our last day, but we are grateful for all the amazing people that we got to work with and be friends with in this community.”

The message invited customers to visit the Huntersville site, where gift cards from the Baxter site will still work.

Online comments following the announcement largely focused on employees who will now have to find other employment during the holiday season.

“Unbelievable,” Stanley Williams posted in a Fort Mill Eats food group on Facebook. “Killington’s was our favorite restaurant. They had so many wonderful employees, and the food/service was always great. I am heartbroken for the employees.”

Several other restaurants, some near the Killingtons site, posted job opportunities in the same online group. Others posted they’ll miss the food or atmosphere.

“So sad, I’m hoping the employees are able to find something nearby,” Shelley McCraven Lassiter commented. “I feel like a lot of the waitstaff are like family because we ate there so much.”

In early 2018, owners Greg and Shannon Roderick announced plans to open their second Killingtons site at 940 Market St. in Baxter. It opened about six months later, replacing Beef ‘O’ Brady’s after that restaurant’s 14-year run in one of Baxter’s most prominent eatery spaces.

Killingtons brought an “American fusion” menu with bacon encrusted meatloaf, barbecue salmon and Gold Rush chicken wings. The gastropub menu paired with handcrafted cocktails.

The Killingtons closing isn’t the only restaurant change in Baxter. This summer, owners of Jekyll & Hyde Taphouse & Grill bought the former Lucky Duck restaurant space at 993 Market Street. That’s the same restaurant where Six Pence Pub operated for a dozen years prior to Lucky Duck.

Jekyll & Hyde, a taphouse, grill, brewery and distillery, has three other Charlotte-area locations.

Baxter is a dining destination in the Fort Mill area with spots like Fish Market, Ilios Crafted Greek and Grapevine Wine. There are several more dessert, bakery, chocolate or beer garden stops.
