Addressing hair loss by focusing on posture, blood flow, and craniofacial development. Methods include improving posture, cardiovascular activity, scalp massages, healthy diet, meditation, using minoxidil, and addressing craniofacial issues.
community Has anyone seen any benefit upgrading from fin to dut?
Users discuss switching from finasteride to dutasteride for hair loss treatment. Some report better results with dutasteride, including hair regrowth and stabilization.
community 1 year on Finasteride . Liking progress so far
A user shared their positive progress with denser hair after one year on finasteride, considering adding oral minoxidil. They experienced no side effects and gained confidence.
community Blood DHT Levels – before and after creatine
The impact of creatine on DHT levels, and whether it could cause accelerated male pattern baldness (MPB). The user taking a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor found that their DHT levels actually reduced despite taking creatine for nine weeks. Replies suggested looking into testosterone levels as well and debating the safety of creatine use in relation to MPB.
community 5α-Reductase inhibitors do not impair cognition.
The conversation concludes that finasteride, a 5α-Reductase inhibitor used for hair loss, does not impair cognition either short-term or long-term. It suggests "brain fog" is not caused by the medication.
