 Symptoms Of Low Testosterone Shelby, 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.

 Benefits Of Using TRT Shelby, 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.

Some of the most common benefits that our patients cite include:

 Benefits Of Using TRT Shelby, 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 Shelby, 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

Interview with comedian Stan Shelby

Wow, another year has zoomed by. Given all the craziness of the news, I thought I’d make my final column of 2023 a profile about comedy, as we all need to laugh, especially in these challenging times.Back in early August, I briefly met comic Stan Shelby over at the Old Trolley Theatre, where local comedian Keith “Big Daddy” Dee was hosting its regular comedy show. I had written a column about Dee, who told me Stan was his key mentor in developing his craft.Regan: How did you get into comedy?...

Wow, another year has zoomed by. Given all the craziness of the news, I thought I’d make my final column of 2023 a profile about comedy, as we all need to laugh, especially in these challenging times.

Back in early August, I briefly met comic Stan Shelby over at the Old Trolley Theatre, where local comedian Keith “Big Daddy” Dee was hosting its regular comedy show. I had written a column about Dee, who told me Stan was his key mentor in developing his craft.

Regan: How did you get into comedy?

Shelby: I started in 2007. I went to an open mic. There were none in Charleston then, so I went to the Comedy House in Columbia. It was as bad as anybody’s first time could be. I tried two jokes, and both fell flat. My brother made the trip. I felt terrible for him as I thought I was going to go up there and kill it. After my first open mic, I thought I would get a comedy special.

R: Where did you learn about comedy and how to perform?

S: The first big change for me was when I took a comedy class at the Funny Farm Comedy Club in Atlanta. I drove to Atlanta every Monday and then back to Charleston for eight weeks. After that, I met Tony Kemp. He is like the godfather of comedy in Charleston – he’s a legend. I started hosting shows for him, and he’d give me pointers, and I would observe the pros that would come to perform at his shows. Tony is the first person I heard say the name Shaun Jones. I lived in Atlanta and went to a show Shaun was headlining, and I was like, “Wow!” Shaun has been an incredible mentor and one of my absolute best friends.

R: Who do you most admire as a comic? What about a favorite comic actor and comedy movie?

S: A guy named Cory “Zooman” Miller, Shaun Jones and J.B. Smoove. My favorite comic is Richard Pryor, but I think the best stand-up special was “Delirious” by Eddie Murphy. That had so many things happening and, 30 years later, it’s still the best special of all time. Now, people are giving out specials like Halloween candy.

R: Do you ever try to emulate another comic’s style?

S: No, but I went through many phases trying to find my voice. With the help of Shaun Jones, about five years ago, I found my voice. Then everything clicked. Now, my joke writing is easier; I know what I want to talk about, and I can go back to some of my old jokes and how to present them properly. When you find your voice, it’s a game changer. This upcoming year, there are things I want to add to my set.

R: What is the funniest joke you have ever heard or told?

S: I was doing a show with Zooman in Kuwait. He made a joke about an old couple going out for the first time and the guy’s reaction after the date when telling his friends about the date. It was so funny. I got out of my chair, walked about 10 steps, and then went back to my seat. I was doing a show with Shaun Jones, and after my set, I sat in the audience. A guy literally pushed his friend and girlfriend next to him after every joke he was laughing so hard. When I saw that, I was like, that is what I want right there. I do have a joke that I didn’t realize how good it was until I told it, and there was a guy in the front row bent over, literally holding his stomach laughing, and so that’s when I knew the effect that a joke can have on someone, and it was my joke.

R: Where do you perform? Do you have dreams of making it big? Where else would you like to perform?

S: I have performed in the Middle East, Canada, and Los Angeles and will perform in New York City in February. But, making it big? Nah. I am happy and blessed. This past year, I hosted America’s Funniest Veterans and Military Spouses comedy competition by Best Medicine Brigade. It was awesome bringing laughter to vets; the finale was in L.A. I was also on the Nurses Night Out comedy tour with Greg G. Williams. Between these two tours, I was always very busy traveling.

R: What’s next?

The comedy competition is over, but I am still on the Nurses Night Out comedy tour. I am just trying to help Greg G. Williams grow his brand. We already have a lot of dates for 2024. We are going to be in Atlanta, which is where I met him when we both started. I get to perform in a lot of cities and states I have never been to before. I want to help the Charleston Comedy Scene in any way I can. Charleston has come a long way since I started. Keith Dee has been doing incredible things for a while. Josh Bates is opening a comedy club called Wits End in North Charleston; he used to run the comedy at the Sparrow in Park Circle. It’s cool that Charleston will actually have a comedy club. Robin Phoenix BMB is doing amazing things in comedy and for vets. The Best Medicine Brigade has really blown up in the past year. In some form or fashion, I am connected to everyone and very happy for their success. Follow me online @comedianstanshelby on all social media platforms.

Defending champion Bencic ousts Charleston native Shelby Rogers in hard-fought match

Off the tennis court, Charleston native Shelby Rogers had one of the best weeks of her young life.

Last Friday, Rogers’ boyfriend, John Slavik, proposed at a spot near the Battery in downtown Charleston.

On the court, Rogers followed up the proposal with back-to-back three-set marathon victories in the opening two rounds of the Credit One Charleston Open on Daniel Island.

A third come-from-behind, three-set victory just wasn’t going to be possible as defending champion Belinda Bencic outlasted Rogers, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 on April 6 to advance to the quarterfinals of the Charleston Open.

Bencic will face No. 7 seed Ekatrina Alexandrova in the quarterfinals Friday afternoon.

“It’s just been a great week for me,” said Rogers, who is ranked No. 44 in the world. “A lot of emotions, obviously on and off the court. Every time I come back, I am able to create so many new and special memories.

“I think the time with my family and my friends is always so special for me here, and that’s what I remember the most because I don’t always get to see them while I’m traveling all year.”

Charleston Open

Her stay on Daniel Island was much longer this week than last year, when she lost in the opening round of the tournament.

“I’m glad I got to spend a lot more time on the court than I did last year,” Rogers said. “I’m super happy about that.”

Down early in the first set, Rogers battled back like she’d done in the previous two matches and took the first set, winning five straight games.

“I had to fight back,” she said. “I thought I problem-solved through a lot of stuff out there today. I think I broke her for the first time ever in all the times we’ve played.”

She had a chance to win the second set, but Bencic made the shots when they mattered most. In the third, Bencic raised her game to another level.

“I thought she just raised her level, especially there right at the beginning of the third,” Rogers said. “When she’s got freedom in the score, she’s pretty confident, and one of the best at timing the ball on the court, moves forward, plays super aggressive.”

Ralph Sullivan's story begins in Gaffney, South Carolina in 1921. He's just added a new chapter to it.

SHELBY, N.C. — Ralph P. Sullivan's life story is like a thick book, with many chapters to it. It's largely thanks to the long life he's led thus far.

On Tuesday, a new chapter for Sullivan opened up as he celebrated his 102nd birthday. Loved ones joined him at the Brookdale Assisted Living Center in Shelby, North Carolina for the festivities.

With applause and singing of the traditional "Happy Birthday" tune, Sullivan and his family took time to reflect on his story. Mary Farrow, his daughter, told WCNC Charlotte photojournalist Donald Fountain that it's been a life well-lived.

"He has more than a cat's nine lives," she said. "We never had any idea he would live this long and I'm so glad he did."

Sullivan's story began just across the state line in Gaffney, South Carolina, in 1921. Farrow said her father wrote a book about his life, which included reflections on his childhood. He didn't have a mother growing up, but he and his father were as thick as thieves. Farrow said re-reading her father's memoirs gave her an even greater appreciation of the relationship Sullivan had with her grandfather.

"He put in his book he had the best daddy in the world," Farrow said. "Well, I think I have the best daddy in the world too."

Sullivan would go on to serve in the U.S. Army Infantry during World War II, receiving a Bronze Star for his service as a captain. When he came back home, he'd start working in a textile plant as a plant manager, although he would be forced into an early retirement after a colon cancer diagnosis in 1970. He would also earn his degree from Clemson University, remaining a loyal Tiger fan to this day.

He also faced a health scare in 2013. But despite being given just seven days to live, he walked out of the hospital and went back home. Now at 102 years young, Sullivan now enjoys the simple things in life: watching Clemson football games, listening to religious music, following the stock market, and tending to his rose garden.

With all those years under his belt, Sullivan shared a simple piece of advice for the next generation: "Be a better person in all respects."
