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

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.
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 Tega Cay, 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.

Rochester’s Abbott’s Frozen Custard suing franchisee in South Carolina
Rochester-based Abbott’s Frozen Custard Inc. is suing a franchisee in South Carolina for allegedly violating the terms of the franchise agreement.
According to a federal lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York, Abbott’s is demanding that SC Custard LLC close their franchise and remove any indication that they are connected to the Abbott’s brand and pay Abbott’s money owed.
SC Custard has operated a franchise in Tega Cay, South Carolina, since May 2018 when they entered into a 10-year franchise agreement.
The sole members of SC Custard LLC are Todd Nettnin and Kathleen Nettnin, who live in North Carolina, according to the complaint.
Abbott’s “owns a system for opening and operating retail frozen custard stands using a unique method for the preparation, marketing, distribution, and serving of ice cream products, including frozen custard, frozen yogurt, sherbet, and related products,” according to the complaint.
Abbott’s is represented by Nixon Peabody LLP. The company, located at 4791 Lake Ave., licenses others to operate Abbott’s Frozen Custard stands using Abbott’s trademarks and proprietary methods of operation, according to the suit.
MORE FROM THE AUTHOR:
Under the franchise agreement, SC Custard agreed to pay Abbott’s 5.5% of the gross sales, plus advertising fees of 2% of the gross sales. SC Custard also agreed to provide gross sales reports to Abbott’s on a monthly basis. Abbott’s claims SC Custard “failed to comply with the franchise agreement and defaulted under several of the material terms and conditions of the franchise agreement.”
“Franchisees have knowingly maintained false books and records and submitted false reports to Abbott’s,” according to the complaint.
SC Custard has used a point-of-sale (POS) system that was not approved by Abbott’s, the suit claims.
An auditor reviewed the financial records of SC Custard and issued a report dated Sept. 17.
SC Custard underreported gross sales to Abbott’s by $7,210 in 2021, by $24,961 in 2022, by $40,070 in 2023, and by $23,672 for the first half of 2024, according to the complaint.
The lawsuit notes that SC Custard has not provided the auditor with bank statements for 2023. And SC Custard has not reported revenue to Abbott’s that is connected to sales made from SC Custard’s food truck. Those sales also are recorded on an unapproved POS system, the suit claims.
“Abbott’s has been deprived of royalties and advertising fund revenues, each of which are assessed as a percentage of the franchisees’ gross sales,” the suit claims.
The lawsuit also claims that SC Custard sells more than 50 products that Abbott’s has not approved for sale.
According to the auditor’s report, SC Custard spent $66,096 on unapproved supplies in 2021, $49,159 in 2022, $92,404 in 2023, and $21,003 for the first half of 2024.
“Franchisees’ sale of unapproved products threatens to tarnish the reputation of the Abbott’s System in the eyes of the consuming public and impair the goodwill associated with the Abbott’s brand,” the lawsuit claims.
Under the franchise agreement, SC Custard was required to purchase all custard-mixing equipment and other ingredients only from Abbott’s.
SC Custard “purchased, used, and sold more than 40 products sourced from suppliers Abbott’s never approved,” the suit claims.
Abbott’s presented SC Custard with a formal, written notice of termination of the franchise agreement on July 22.
“Abbott’s offered franchisees a ‘wind down’ option that would delay termination for a period ending no later than Sept. 6, 2024, provided that certain conditions were met and an agreement for termination was reached,” according to the suit.
SC Custard accepted the offer of the wind down option “and partially participated in an audit,” according to the complaint.
Abbott’s agreed to extend the wind down option several times. The last extension expired at 5 p.m., Oct. 18, according to the suit.
“Franchisees have failed to address the auditor’s findings or meaningfully participated in a negotiated exit from the Abbott’s system,” according to the suit.
“At the time of this lawsuit’s filing, franchisees have indicated that they will not voluntarily cease operating their franchised unit,” according to the lawsuit.
