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 over the age of 40 and have noticed increased irritability and low sex drive, the world is not ending; chances are, you have low testosterone. Fortunately, advances in male health medicine mean you don't have to settle for a lackluster life with low T.

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.
Better Life Carolinas provides the most advanced, non-invasive ED treatments available, like testosterone replacement therapy in Mooresville, NC. Our TRT treatments have the potential to correct underlying changes in your body instead of just treating symptoms. We feel this approach is a more realistic option rather than taking a pill every time you need to perform. Check out the reviews on our website - Better Life patients with ED couldn't be happier with our treatments.
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 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.
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.
The days of "living with it" are over. Today, we're able to treat most symptoms of low testosterone with non-surgical, pain-free solutions like TRT in Mooresville. There's never been a better time to reclaim your life and face the issues preventing you from being the best you.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (WBTV) - WBTV is On Your Side working to Get Answers for neighbors in Mooresville who contacted WBTV for help.
They say a massive sinkhole in the middle of the Reid’s Cove Community is a major safety hazard that they are concerned is not being addressed by the builder.
“We moved in one of the first houses in December 2022 and the hill always had a little bit of erosion just from rainwater that they said they were going to fix as they completed the houses,” Kelli Carter told WBTV.
Carter says builder Taylor Morrison Homes never fixed it, and it got worse.
“A few months ago, they kind of smoothed over all of that erosion and filled in any of the holes and put in a couple of drains, and that’s around when we noticed a really large hole opening in the middle of the hill,” Carter said.
Carter says she and other neighbors reached out to Taylor Morrison Homes and the HOA management group Evergreen Lifestyles Management.
“They’ll put dirt into the hole and pack it back down, and then it keeps opening back up,” she said. “So, we’re concerned as a neighborhood that they are trying to fill the hole in as kind of a band-aid situation until they hand the neighborhood over to us to run the HOA, and we’re going to be looking at a very expensive solution.”
One of their biggest concerns is safety. They say there are a lot of children who live at the top of the hill, and they’ve been spotted running down to play near the sinkhole.
“It’s dangerous,” neighbor David Grose said. “It’s dangerous that they don’t have a fence up here, especially at the top. It’s dangerous for little kids.”
Grose says it’s also affecting surrounding areas of the neighborhood.
“I think it’s weakened the sidewalk and the road,” he said. “It is a concern. I mean it’s a concern of value of homes and resale.”
Grose says it’s also leading to flooding in his nearby backyard.
They want the builder to take action and fast.
“This isn’t a place where you guys can just come in and build a neighborhood and abandon it for us to deal with the problems of the corners that you’ve cut, and we want them addressed, and we would like the communication of what’s being done to address them,” Carter said.
WBTV contacted Taylor Morrison Homes and Evergreen Lifestyles Management for comment and is awaiting a response.
WBTV also contacted the town of Mooresville and a spokesperson said they are looking into it.

More restaurants will be joining the lineup of places to eat at Merino Mill, a popular destination in the Lake Norman area that includes several food spots, market space and art studios.
Picasso, a taqueria, and Copenhagen Wine & Beer Garden are slated to open next year alongside the Mooresville hub’s other eateries: Alino Pizzeria, The Barcelona Burger & Beer Garden and Defined Coffee.
The new taqueria has been in the works for years, owner Michal Bay told CharlotteFive.
“Picasso was a very unusual artist, and we’re not going to be a usual restaurant,” Bay said. “We are doing our homework.”
Bay traveled to several places in and out of the U.S. to pull inspiration for the restaurant, including Mexico, New York, Miami, Chicago and San Francisco.
Similar to the other restaurants at Merino Mill, Bay plans to have a menu focused on a handful of signature dishes, featuring tacos with Mexican and Mediterranean flavors.
“If you don’t keep it simple, you can’t keep it fresh,” he explained.
Picasso will be located next to The Barcelona Burger & Beer Garden, with long tables and benches and an open kitchen where you can see food being prepared.
Plans are still underway for Copenhagen, but guests will be able to enjoy wine, beer and small plates.

Merino Mill was originally home to the original Moor Turkish Towel Company Mill, which closed back in 1999. About a decade later, Bay bought and restored the building and transformed it into a thriving hub for eating, shopping and more.
“It’s a really unique place … so now we have turned this, within 14 years, it’s such a pleasant and fun place for people to stay,” Bay said.
The taqueria is expected to open sometime in February 2024, and Copenhagen is anticipated to open sometime in the summer.

Mooresville's mayor, town manager, planning director, and clerk are leaving their positions.
MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Major changes are coming to leadership in the town of Mooresville.
Most Mooresville residents are aware Mayor Miles Atkins is not seeking re-election. However, WCNC Charlottehas confirmed several top leaders among town staff are also leaving.
"It’s just a sign of the times, if you look at other local governments, probably you got some of the same things happening," at-large commissioner Bobby Comptonsaid.
Mayor Atkins told WCNC Charlotte he’s eyeing opportunities to serve in 2024 but didn’t say in what capacity.
Compton is running against former town commissioner and state senator Chris Carneyfor mayor. If Compton loses, he’ll no longer be on the board.
Mooresville town manager Randy Hemann has accepted a new role as town manager of Oak Ridge, Tennessee and starts there Nov. 1.
Plus, Mooresville's planning director and clerk are leaving, but it's unclear what their next steps are.
Compton argues the changes aren’t cause for concern.
"The lifespan, on average, of a town or city manager in North Carolina is three to five years," Compton said. He added that the town has had three planning directors during his 12-year tenure as commissioner and the clerk is, "moving on to bigger and better things."
Despite the switch ups, Compton said new leaders will still be guided by the same principles outlined in the town’s rulebook known as the unified development ordinance.
"We still have the UDO, the unified development ordinance, that every city and town in North Carolina has had to do," Compton said. "So, we’ll take a look at that, we’re working on that now."
You can stream WCNC Charlotte on Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV, just download the free app.
Planning staff members have proposed several changes to the UDO since it was adopted last year. The board is tasked with reviewing and approving or denying them.
A spokesperson told WCNC Charlotte the town will soon post positions for the Director of Planning and Clerk. The Board of Commissionersis searching for an interim Town Manager.
This November, Mooresville voters will decide between Compton and Carney for mayor. Town commissioners for wards one and two are also on the ballot.
WCNC Charlotte reached out to mayoral candidate Chris Carney for this story but did not hear back by time of publication.
