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 Severe copper deficiency, and also zinc deficiency. Looking for testimonials.
A 36-year-old man with androgenetic alopecia suspects copper and zinc deficiencies may be accelerating hair loss and is supplementing copper to address this. He is also monitoring blood sugar levels due to previous prediabetes concerns and plans to test for insulin resistance.
community Sugar and hairloss
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.
community Are carbohydrates needed for hair growth
A 47-year-old male experienced significant hair loss after losing 37 kg in 6 months on a low-carb diet and started taking biotin, zinc, iron, selenium, and spectral dcn-n. Replies suggest that while carbs are not directly needed for hair growth, they help regulate hormones and nutrient absorption, and rapid weight loss can also contribute to hair loss.
community Interesting article links major MPB theories to western diet (and life-style)
