community Claim: Insulin resistance increases the enzyme that creates DHT and affects the liver's ability to control hormones

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 11 months ago

Insulin resistance may increase DHT production, contributing to hair loss, and addressing it through diet, nutrients, and natural DHT blockers like saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil could help reverse hair loss. Some users prefer medications like finasteride for more effective results.

community Does high sugar/insulin resistance or generally bad diet prevent fin/dut from working?

A poor diet high in sugar and insulin resistance may reduce the effectiveness of finasteride in treating hair loss. Improving diet could potentially enhance treatment results.

community Adipocyte lipolysis activates epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration through fatty acid metabolic signaling

23 upvotes 11 months ago

Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.

community Insulins impact on androgen levels

16 upvotes 4 years ago

Controlling insulin levels through intermittent fasting and a low glycemic diet may improve hair quality by reducing androgens. It's important to maintain proper nutrition, including electrolytes and protein, during fasting.

community 22M High Estrogen after blood test

1 upvotes 7 months ago

A 22-year-old male with high estrogen levels is considering finasteride for hair loss but is concerned about potential side effects due to his hormone levels and family history of diabetes. Users suggest consulting a doctor, possibly an endocrinologist, and considering lifestyle changes like diet and exercise to address visceral fat and insulin resistance before starting treatment.

community Hair Loss & Lipids: Why you have sebderm, folliculitis, LPP, inflammation, etc...

131 upvotes 1 year ago

Excess sebum rich in cholesterol and triglycerides can lead to hair loss through inflammation, with treatments like Ciclopirox shampoo, Benzoyl Peroxide shampoo, and Clindamycin gel recommended for managing conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis. Pioglitazone is suggested for Lichen Planopilaris, while Omega-3s and reducing processed foods may improve sebum quality, though genetic factors play a significant role.
