5 / 1000+ resultscommunity What makes them say exercise doesn't increase hair loss?
Exercise has minimal impact on hair loss, with weight lifting slightly increasing DHT and cardio potentially decreasing it. Finasteride and dutasteride are effective treatments for managing hair loss, even for those who exercise regularly.
community How much does diet affect hair loss?
The conversation suggests that changing diet and lifestyle has little to no effect on male pattern baldness (MPB), which is largely determined by genetics. Some individuals noted personal improvements in hair condition with healthier diets, but the consensus is that diet alone cannot prevent or reverse MPB.
community Creatine, my hair loss, and my DHT levels. An anecdote with lab values.
Increased hair loss after starting a 10g daily creatine regimen, possibly linked to elevated DHT levels despite dutasteride use. Stopping creatine reduced shedding, but the exact cause is uncertain, with discussions on exercise and lifestyle impacts.
community Topical spironolactone — how many ml do you apply?
The conversation discusses the use of topical spironolactone for hair loss, with the original poster applying 8 ml daily but learning that 2 ml is recommended. It also touches on hair transplants and the role of DHT sensitivity in hair loss, emphasizing individual differences in treatment outcomes.
community Bloodwork reports just came in
A 21-year-old male suffering from male pattern baldness is using topical finasteride and minoxidil, and oral minoxidil. His bloodwork shows normal DHT levels and slightly high testosterone, leading to discussions about the role of DHT sensitivity in hair loss, the potential impact of finasteride on his DHT levels, and the suggestion to proceed with oral finasteride due to his high testosterone.
