    GlossaryGenetic Factors

    inherited DNA traits influencing physical characteristics and health

    Genetic factors refer to the inherited traits and variations in DNA that influence an individual's physical characteristics, health, and susceptibility to certain conditions. For example, genetic factors can determine hair color, texture, and the likelihood of developing conditions like alopecia, where hair loss occurs due to genetic predispositions.

      A clean diet, including cutting sugar, gluten, and dairy, improved hair health and reduced shedding for a user on oral minoxidil and finasteride, but reverting to an old diet worsened hair condition. While diet impacts hair health, genetic factors and treatments like topical ketoconazole and hydrocortisone are also important for managing hair loss.

      Finasteride can cause side effects like erectile dysfunction and decreased libido, possibly due to increased estradiol from testosterone aromatization, especially in those with higher body fat. Side effects vary widely and may also be influenced by genetic factors or neurosteroid inhibition.

      community abusing caffeine boosts DHT levels!

      in Research/Science  1 upvotes 1 year ago
      Caffeine intake may increase DHT levels, but its impact on hair loss is minimal compared to genetic factors. Excessive caffeine can cause health issues, and its effects on hair loss are not directly applicable to humans based on rat studies.
