Symptoms Of Low Testosterone Mooresville, 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 Mooresville, 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.

Publix to debut another Charlotte area store as part of grocer’s expansion plan

Publix Super Market is expanding again in the Charlotte region, with plans to open its 23rd store this month.

The more than 48,000-square-foot grocery store will debut at 7 a.m. Oct. 23 at 1254 Coddle Creek Highway in Mooresville, Publix said Monday in a news release. The store will hire about 140 full- and part-time employees.

The Lakeland, Florida, grocery chain joins a heated $10.2 billion competition in the Charlotte market, according to sales tracking firm Chain Store Guide.

Publix will anchor the 15-acre Harris Farms Shopping Center, which also includes 11,800-square-foot space for retail and three outparcels, according to developer Cambridge Properties’ website. McDonald’s has leased one of the outparcels, site plans show.

A dentist and a nail salon also signed leases in the retail village, The Charlotte Observer previously reported.

The retail shopping center is part of a 136-acre mixed-use development. Plans also include 165 single-family homes, 168 town homes and 382 apartment units, according to Cambridge. The first phases of single-family and townhome residences will be available mid-2025.

The Mooresville store is Publix’s latest expansion after last year’s store opening in North Creek Village at 15010 Village Crossing Road in Huntersville.

Publix opened its first North Carolina store in Ballantyne in early 2014. The Florida-based grocer, is planning to open at least five more stores:

▪ A 55,000-square-foot store with a drive-thru and a proposed private drive at 11525 Carmel Commons is expected to open early next year.

▪ Construction for The Arboretum store at Providence and Pineville-Matthews roads will start by the end of this year or early next year.

▪ A 28,000-square-foot store at the 10 Tryon building on the northwest corner of Tryon and Ninth streets in uptown.

▪ Clear Creek Crossings development on the corner of Albemarle and Rocky River Church roads

▪ A 68,000-square-foot store at the corner of Sharon and Colony roads in South Park.

There are 745 grocery stores in the region, up from 722 in 2020, according to Chain Store Guide.

Publix competes with Walmart and other North Carolina chains including Matthews-based Harris Teeter, Salisbury-based Food Lion, Asheville-based Earth Fare and Winston-Salem based Lowes Foods.

Other grocery stores’ plans include:

▪ Sprouts Farmers Market will open a 21,000-square-foot store next summer at the One NoDa Park development on the corner of 36th and Tryon streets, The Charlotte Observer reported. It will be the third location for the Phoenix-based grocer, which opened a store in Steele Creek last fall and has a store in Ballantyne.

▪ Matthews Board of Commissioners recently approved changes to a grocery store plan with signage in an illustration that looks similar to Trader Joe’s. Town officials and the developer, as well as Trader Joe’s, would not confirm which grocer plans to move into the 13,5000-square-foot stand-alone building at Matthews Gateway on East John Street.

▪ In May, Mecklenburg County commissioners approved $1.5 million for California-based grocer Spangler’s to build a 8,000-square-foot store at Kohler and Statesville avenues, north of uptown.

▪ Rochester, N.Y.-based Wegmans will make its Charlotte debut in 2026 with a 110,000-square-foot grocery store on the east side of Ballantyne in south Charlotte.

▪ The West Boulevard Coalition will open Charlotte’s first cooperative grocery store, Three Sisters Market, next year. The full-service grocery store will debut in an area that’s been without a traditional supermarket for over 30 years.

Mooresville town leaders say 'natural background levels' of radiation found in coal ash sample taken from residential area

The test results come amidst a WCNC Charlotte investigation into coal ash levels near a daycare.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. — As WCNC Charlotte continues to report on risky levels of carcinogens and radioactive material embedded in coal ash underneath a Mooresville day care, town leaders say soil samples in a residential area were found to have levels of radium deemed acceptable by the federal Environmental Protection Agency.

A Friday news release from the town government shares the four soil samples came from Reed Creek Park area, located between I-77 and US-21. The samples were collected by town staff on Aug. 14, 2024, with results returned more than a month later.

The town said it reviewed the results with the EPA, which showed the levels for radium 226 and radium 228 were within the natural background levels. Those levels are less than five picocuries per gram (pCi/g). The picocuries per gram measurement reflects the concentration of radioactive material according to the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality.

WCNC Charlotte reviewed the results, which showed the highest reading from one sample of radium 226 was at 1.931 pCi/g. The lowest was at 0.552 pCi/g. For radium 228, the highest reading was at 3.096 pCi/g, while the lowest was at 0.508 pCi/g.

The town's news release said the testing was prompted by a letter sent to the EPA by Earthjustice and Southern Environmental Law Center.

"The Town’s goal is to give the public a level of comfort that Town properties are safe to be used and enjoyed by all citizens. The Town will continue to investigate any allegations of contamination on Town properties with appropriate local, State, and Federal agencies to ensure all requirements are met," a statement in the news release read. "We continue to work in partnership with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the regulating agencies of coal ash, and Iredell County Health Department to disseminate information."

The testing of the Reed Creek Park area comes amidst a WCNC Charlotte investigation into coal ash discovered beneath a Mooresillve Tutor Time day care location. Testing by experts who worked with WCNC Charlotte found that the levels of carcinogens and radioactivity there were deemed "unacceptable". One expert said the elevated levels of arsenic and radium he analyzed were "a cocktail of toxic elements". Arsenic levels were, on average, 69 times higher than North Carolina's own soil remediation goals and about 13 times higher than average levels found in natural soil.

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for Iredell County at just after 11 a.m. on Friday due to heavy rains associated with Tropical Storm Helene.

The National Weather Service recorded wind gusts of as much as 39 mph at the Statesville Airport around 7 a.m., with sustained winds of 22 mph.

Those winds toppled trees and brought down powerlines, including a tree that fell on a home on Lakeland Road in Mooresville. A woman was briefly trapped inside the home, the homeowner said, but escaped with only cuts and bruises.

Mooresville Fire-Rescue posted on its Facebook page that it had responded to more than 80 calls related to Hurricane Helene.

Poweroutage.us reported that 16,291 Energy United and Duke Energy customers were without power as of noon on Friday. The city of Statesville had as many as 3,000 people lose power early on Friday, but power had mostly been restored by 9 a.m.

Across the region

Catawba County and Burke County officials are pleading with the public to stay home even as Tropical Storm Helene depart western North Carolina.

Catawba County Public Information Officer Amy McCauley said the county is asking people to stay off the roads unless evacuating.

There were multiple reports of downed trees and power lines, power outages and standing water in Catawba County Friday morning, McCauley said. There was flooding in the Lookout Shoals area and damage to homes and vehicles, she said.

Morganton Public Safety Chief Jason Whisnant said trees are falling and trapping people in houses in Burke County. He said roads are beginning to flood.

“It is not safe to travel right now, at all,” Whisnant said.

On Bost Road near VFW Road in Morganton, a tree fell on a van. The driver was not injured, Whisnant said, but the tree brought down power lines.

“Please stay home right now,” said Wes Taylor, chief of the Burke County Rescue Squad. “We’re dealing with enough calls for service with trees down, water rescues. We don’t need more motor vehicle accidents or onlookers. Please stay home, we are pleading with you.”

The shelter at Oak Hill United Methodist Church is inaccessible from city limits, Whisnant said. The city is opening a second shelter temporarily at the Collett Street Recreation Center.

He said public safety officers have been transporting people there and are continuing to do so. Call 828-437-1211 for help.

Rainfall from Tropical Storm Helene

Statesville received almost 4 inches of rain on Friday, according to waterdata.us.gov.

The National Weather Service said portions of western McDowell County received around 9 inches of rain from Tropical Storm Helene.

Western Burke County received 6 inches of rain Thursday night.

The eastern parts of those counties received around 4-5 inches of rain.

Mike Rehnberg with the National Weather Service said that amount is on top of the 2.5-3 inches the counties received Wednesday.

Around 9 a.m. Friday, Rehnberg said Catawba County received 2.5-3 inches overnight. He said the forecast called for more rain but probably less than an inch.

Alexander and Caldwell counties received 2-3 inches of rain.

Rehnberg said most of the higher winds were moving through the area at 9:30 a.m. The peak winds at that time were around 25 to 30 mph, with gusts around 45 mph.

Veterans gather for POW/MIA flag raising in Mooresville ahead of Veterans Day

Air Force veteran Jim Kiger led the way down Main Street in Mooresville on Monday as veterans gathered for the 10th year to remember prisoners of war and soldiers declared as missing in action."To remind everybody the celebration of Veterans Week is really a memorial to those that can't be here," Kiger said.

Air Force veteran Jim Kiger led the way down Main Street in Mooresville on Monday as veterans gathered for the 10th year to remember prisoners of war and soldiers declared as missing in action.

"To remind everybody the celebration of Veterans Week is really a memorial to those that can't be here," Kiger said. "Every one of these veterans you see standing out here, they have a friend who didn't come home.

"We're a living memorial to the men and women that were lost."

Veterans Day is set for Monday, Nov. 11. The federal holiday is meant to honor veterans. Kiger and others who spoke on Monday said it is also important to honor those who could not be with them.

The procession, numbering about two dozen, began at Richard's Coffee Shop as veterans, family members, and others walked to the Mooresville Town Hall to place a wreath beside the flag pole and raise the POW/MIA flag.

Town of Mooresville commissioner and Mayor Pro-Tem Eddie Dingler offered his remarks after the wreath was placed and the flags were raised.

"Today we come together to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. As we walked in solidarity down Main Street, we remembered our prisoners of war and those that are still missing in action," Dingler said. "We reflected on the bravery of their families and the courage that each of our service members showed in the face of war. As you leave here today, continue to think about their fight for our freedom and pay tribute to their legacies and resilience."

While many of the veterans marching on Monday had hats and jackets noting their service during the Vietnam War, Army veteran Ralph Dagenhart said that every generation of service members knows the same dangers of combat.

"Every generation it appears we're in some type of conflict in which we lose men and women in war. We need to remember they gave the ultimate sacrifice," Dagenhart said. "In my unit, in Vietnam the year I was there, we lost 19 guys. It may not sound like a big number, but if you lose one, that's one too many."
