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 fall into any of these categories, you should begin to think about ways to change your life, like diet, exercise, and TRT.

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.

 Benefits Of Using TRT Rock Hill, SC

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 Rock Hill, 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:

 Benefits Of Using TRT Rock Hill, SC

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.

 Testosterone Replacement Therapy Rock Hill, SC

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.

A long-awaited speakeasy in downtown Rock Hill will open next week.

Visit York County announced Elsie’s at Kounter will open Dec. 13. The 135 E. Main St. spot downtown is part of the Kounter restaurant and food group started by Rock Hill native Rob Masone.

The 900-square-foot speakeasy named for Masone’s grandmother will seat almost 50 people and have a counter bar with more than a dozen seats. It’ll have a street-front bodega, an entry “hidden” by a concealed door in the cheese shop and a secret code word for entrance (it’ll be on social media or at the restaurant next door).

Elsie’s will have a to-go charcuterie and second-level private event space, the latter opening in the spring. Elsie’s transforms 3,000 square feet of space previously used by an investment banking company.

“We’ve focused on creating a truly unexpected experience,” Masone said in Thursday’s announcement.

Elsie’s will have 50 annual memberships. Members will have personalized decanters displayed on a wall, private access at certain times and invitations to special events.

Elsie’s will have cocktails and non-alcoholic options. Small-bite sweets will be served, too.

Masone announced plans for a new speakeasy last year. It’s the latest project for the former South Carolina Chef Ambassador. Masone opened Kounter in late 2020 at the site of the 1961 Friendship Nine sit-in. One of Rock Hill’s prominent civil rights landmarks, the restaurant still recognizes the time when Black Friendship College students were denied service and arrested after they refused to leave.

Masone has won multiple regional awards during his run in Rock Hill, while operating a food truck, catering and event businesses. He’s been part of several events promoting restaurant week or tourism efforts for eateries across York County.

Masone also temporarily closed Kounter after Hurricane Helene while his team went to North Carolina to feed line workers there to restore power.

Three teams from the Greater Rock Hill area are just one step away from playing for state championships in football. They will play Friday night for Upper State regional championships.

A season that started 3 1/2 months ago in 95-degree heat has advanced to the state semifinals, with temperatures likely near freezing by the end of Friday’s games.

Here’s a look at what to expect:

Gaffney (10-1) at Northwestern (12-0), Class 5A/Division 2 Upper State final, 7:30 p.m. — How about a traditional Upstate rivalry to settle the region’s football championship? These teams have met 17 times over the past two decades, with Northwestern winning 10 times, including 49-24 last season, when QB Finley Polk threw for 228 yards.

Gaffney has played on the edge this season. The Indians have won three times in overtime, and six of their games have been decided by a touchdown or less. QB Jayvon Gilmore has thrown for 2.086 yards, but Gaffney doesn’t have a running back with more than 414 yards this season. Then again, RB Jaiden McDowell carried for 101 yards last season against Northwestern, and he’s back this year.

Polk is just 55 yards away from reaching 3,000 for the season, with Jayden Nichols (61 catches, 871 yards, 10 touchdowns) and Kameron Vance (52 catches, 794 yards, 12 touchdowns) as his chief targets. And RB Zymier Gordon-Miles has passed the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the season.

South Pointe (11-2) at Westside (12-0), Class 4A Upper State final, 7:30 p.m. — So football fans across the state know about South Pointe RB Mason Pickett-Hicks, who ran for 485 yards last Friday and has 2,425 rushing yards for the season. And many of them know about QB Cam McMillon, who has thrown for more than 2,500 yards despite missing time with an injury. But the Stallion defense has been outstanding, averaging 12 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks a contest.

Then again, Anderson’s Westside is the defending 4A state champion, and the Rams have won 26 in a row. Their air game is outstanding, with QB Cutter Woods (a South Carolina commit) throwing for nearly 2,900 yards, with 36 touchdowns to just three interceptions. Defensively, Westside allowed an average of 19 points a game in the regular season, but the Rams have cut that to 5.3 per contest in the playoffs.

Lewisville (12-1) at Abbeville (11-1), Class 1A Upper State final, 7:30 p.m. — Lewisville has rolled over its playoff competition, but things get very difficult this week. Abbeville has surrendered points this season, so Lewisville QB Zach Rogers, RB Jordan Strong and company will want to keep the ball as much as possible. The Lions’ defense, which has scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery return in each of the last three playoff games, faces a big test.

The host Panthers have won eight state championships in the last 14 years and are 126-10-1 since 2015, all of that under 21-year head coach Jamie Nickels. They are led by quarterback/defensive back Damarcus Leach, a South Carolina commit, who will play defense in college but scored four touchdowns last week on offense..

The last time these teams met? Abbeville piled up an 85-22 victory in the 2019 1A playoffs. The Panthers then moved up to 2A but have dropped back to 1A this season.

Westminster Catawba Christian School senior guard Brycen Redmon, one of the top-ranked players in South Carolina, has a knack for scoring.

Only a few games into the season, the 6-foot-1 athletic guard from Fort Mill has been a scoring machine, including two 30-point performances.

He can score in multiple ways and his quickness has been a problem for defenders staying in front of him every game this season.

Redmon is proud of his strong start to his senior season, but helping his team win in any way that he can is his focus.

So far that’s meant battling through a minor fracture in his elbow, getting poked in the eye in a game last week and battling the flu during Saturday’s game against Victory Christian in the Charlotte Hoops Challenge at Harding High School.

Still, Redmon is averaging 28 points, six rebounds and three assists per game for Westminster Catawba (3-5), which had its first 20-win season under coach Ed Addie in 2023-24 and is out to repeat that this year.

Redmon said he’s determined to make the team go.

“Whatever it takes,” Redmon said. “If that’s getting 50 points; if that’s getting 10 assists, if that’s getting 10 rebounds, whatever I can do to help my team win.”

Redmon’s mentality was put to the test during Westminster Catawba’s 89-67 loss to Victory Christian Center at the Charlotte Hoops Challenge.

Redmon struggled in the loss and was limited to 18 minutes because of foul trouble and illness. Despite not being on the court, he continued to do whatever it took to support his squad.

“My coach has a saying, ‘The sun doesn’t shine on the same dog every day.’ And today wasn’t really my day,” Redmon said. “I still have to be a great teammate and support the team and keep up the energy while on the bench.”

After the game, he explained what his team struggles with the most.

“We didn’t do a bad job scoring the ball, but we gave up more points than we should have gave up,” he said.

Redmon is willing to become a better defender if that’s what it takes to help the team.

He wants to work on defense and get better as Westminster Catawba goes “back in the lab” Monday to prepare for Tuesday’s conference opener at Sweet 16 No. 4 Concord Academy.

“I love the game,” he said. “If there’s four better scorers and I’m just averaging five points and 12 assists, it’s whatever it takes to get my team the win.”

Columbia mayor offering ‘resolution of disapproval’ after USC left out of playoff rankings

When the latest College Football Playoff rankings were released on Tuesday, the University of South Carolina found itself on the outside looking in, with the Gamecocks ranked No. 14. That’s just short of what will eventually be a 12-team playoff field.

That apparently didn’t sit well with Columbia Mayor Daniel Rickenmann.

Rickenmann, who is in his first term as mayor after a long run on Columbia City Council, said on social media Thursday afternoon that he plans to offer a city resolution expressing displeasure with the recent rankings that project the Gamecocks just outside the playoff field, despite a six-game winning streak and victories against high-profile opponents such as Clemson and Texas A&M.

“The Gamecocks should be in the college football playoffs,” Rickenmann wrote on Facebook. “The CFP committee’s recent ranking is a mistake. For this reason, I’m introducing a resolution of disapproval at the next city council meeting. The Gamecocks deserve a spot in the playoffs and we’ve been excited because of their hard work this entire season.”

Such a resolution, if approved, would be non-binding as it relates to the College Football Playoff committee, which has been tasked with selecting the field for this year’s inaugural 12-team playoff in college football’s highest division. Still, it would put on record the capital city’s feelings of the recent rankings.

“Columbia is proud of our flagship university and its positive impact on our state,” Rickenmann wrote. “This team deserves recognition and the committee made its decision behind closed doors without a clear process. Throughout the season, the Gamecocks have consistently exceeded expectations and fought through adversity.

“Clearly strength of schedule, losses to unranked teams, and margin of victory were not taken into account. The committee’s decision will result in lost benefit to our community which will be detrimental to Columbia.”

Rickenmann, who went to USC, has long been quick to support the school’s athletics programs. The city has hosted championship parades for the Gamecocks women’s basketball teams after they have won national titles. The mayor also gave ESPN’s Lee Corso a key to the city of Columbia when the network’s College GameDay show was in town for the USC-LSU game in September.
