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 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 Interesting new publication suggesting that MPB should be assessed as a early warning sign for type-2 diabetes.

15 upvotes 8 years ago

Male pattern baldness (MPB) may be an early warning sign for type 2 diabetes due to its association with insulin resistance. Treatments discussed include testosterone therapy and finasteride, which affects hormone levels related to hair loss and insulin sensitivity.

community Whey Protein can cause hairloss in men with AGA as per a doctor

64 upvotes 9 months ago

Whey protein may slightly increase hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) due to elevated IGF-1 and testosterone levels, but the effect is minimal compared to treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Many users argue that whey protein's impact on hair loss is negligible and that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is more important.

community Sugar and hairloss

10 upvotes 5 years ago

Cutting sugar may not significantly impact hair loss, as DHT and androgen receptors are the main issues. Effective treatments include finasteride, dutasteride, RU58841, and minoxidil, often combined with microneedling.
