today we are going to talk about how to

prevent hair loss

but not just how to prevent hair loss

but when you grow your hair to make sure

that it’s it’s full and prevent the loss

of hair focusing on this one very

important common problem

and this involves a type of testosterone

a very strong type of a testosterone

called

DHT several common medications out there

for hair loss their mechanism is to

block an enzyme so you can lower the

amount of DHT that interacts with your

hair because when this very powerful

form of testosterone interacts with the

receptor okay in your scalp your hair

just does not grow that well if it does

grow it’s going to be very miniature or

tiny so I wanted to create a video only

on this one topic of how to restore the

receptor for DHT because really the

problem is that this receptor is turned

up and that makes DHT more sensitive and

it is a genetic issue for a lot of

people but there are things that you can

do about it okay because one of the

problems people have when they’re doing

the medication is that it blocks DHT too

much and then they end up having side

effects like decrease libido erectile

dysfunction depression things like that

but for this problem it has everything

to do with the receptor for DHT in your

scalp it is a genetic sensitivity

problem so how do we regulate it and

turn it down a little bit so it’s not

overactive now now there are a lot of

herbs out there that you can get and try

salt Palmetto and some of these work for

some people and some sometimes they

don’t work I want to talk more about

some additional things that you can do

that involve epigenetics which is

basically above genes okay it’s things

that you can do and take and eat that

can keep these genetic variations in

check and keep them working to your

advantage so there are five main factors

that we’re going to focus on today

so what is the first factor that can

worsen this problem how do we deal with

it well it’s called hypoxia what is

hypoxia that is a condition where you

have a lack of oxygen okay into your

scalp now what can cause a lack of

oxygen three things one anemia

two inflammation and three a lack of

exercise so of course you have to look

at the situation to see if you have a

problem with any of these three do you

exercise on a regular basis if you don’t

it might be a good idea to do it do you

potentially have anemia okay if you do

um the two types of anemia that people

have would be an iron anemia or a B12

Anemia iron and b12 both come from red

meat if you are a vegetarian or a vegan

chances are you may be deficient in

these two unless you take them in the

right form but there’s other causes of

anemia as well and these also relate to

genetics in which case if you look at

your genes the recommendation would be

beef liver or liver grass-fed liver

tablets something like that but the one

you would really need to take would be

called methylcobolamine not the

cyanocobalamine okay so that’s just a

tip with that other reasons for anemia

is you don’t have enough stomach acid

for some reason and how do you know if

you don’t have enough stomach acid well

you’re going to have more indigestion

you might have acid reflux things like

that that would be indication that you

need just to take betaine hydrochloride

to acidify stomach and that could help

you exercise anemia and then

inflammation okay

A lot of people are consuming the wrong

foods and they’re inflamed their whole

body is inflamed the most commonly

consumed food that raises the

inflammation in your body

has to do with omega-6 fatty acids I I

harp on this over and over and over

again you just want to get those

unsaturated oils out of the diets I’m

talking about the soy the corn oil the

canola oil the cottonseed oil the

safflower oil get them out of the diet

because they’re just no good instead

replace them with omega-3 fatty acids

cod liver oil would be very beneficial

the other natural anti-inflammatory that

would help you with inflammation

as well as hair loss is vitamin D if

you’re going to take vitamin D don’t

ever take less than 10 000 I use okay

there’s many reasons for this but most

people are deficient and they usually

have a lot of barriers to absorb vitamin

D and so taking more is one solution now

number two vitamin D okay vitamin D

directly can help turn down the

sensitivity of that receptor and a

vitamin D deficiency could create more

problems with DHT affecting your hair so

again this is just a double reason to

take vitamin D to reduce inflammation

and also just to help you directly with

this receptor I would recommend a

minimum of 10 000 IUS but you may want

to take twenty thousand IUS there are

people that just do this alone and all

of a sudden they noticed their hair is

coming back it is virtually impossible

to get your vitamin D from food and many

people just don’t get it from the Sun

anymore so they take it as a supplement

and the third thing is an amino acid

called a lysine okay a lysine a lot of

people take L-lysine for growing their

hair back and it’s very effective remedy

why does it work well it works on the

receptor okay it helps regulate the

receptor for that ght so there’s a

couple of things to do you can take it

as a supplement or you can just eat the

food that is high in L-lysine and that

would be it’s kind of a crossover to

what I just said animal products Meats

red meat things like that it could be

other proteins as well like chicken Fish

seafood eggs

but L-lysine is low in nuts grains beans

seeds Okay so if you’re eating a lot of

those things and not any animal products

then maybe you want to switch over or at

the very least start taking that amino

acid a lysine on an empty stomach

because it competes with other amino

acids and number four deficiency of

insulin can worsen this problem

so we need to increase insulin to help

you with this receptor problem to help

regulate the sensitivity of the receptor

now this may oppose all the different

videos I’ve talked about where insulin

is bad you should lower your insulin etc

etc and let me just clarify because I

just put a video out on this topic they

talked about the problem with insulin is

not insulin it’s insulin resistance that

develops because you’re raising insulin

so high the body starts to block it and

you end up with a insulin deficiency

okay and so when I say raise insulin

what I’m saying is to do it by fixing

insulin resistance and that way you’ll

get the appropriate amount of insulin

into that receptor insulin is an

anabolic hormone and actually makes

things grow and when we’re dealing with

the synthesis of hair we need more

insulin to the roots of your head and

insulin resistance is one big problem

that’s not only behind hair loss but a

lot of other issues so how do we

increase insulin by fixing insulin

resistance how do we do that am I going

a low carb diet and we do intermittent

fasting okay this is why metformin

actually helps with hair growth because

metformin works on the insulin receptor

and it actually improves this resistance

problem increasing more insulin to make

the connection so the whole circuit can

work right and number five correcting

the right amount of

estrogen okay women who are pregnant

then have their baby notice hair loss

right after pregnancy mainly because

they get this severe drop in estrogen

also when they have their cycle when

they have their period their hair starts

falling out

that’s the lowest point of the menstrual

cycle right when they have their period

and also when women go through menopause

they have a lower amount of estrogen

right and they get hair loss so how do

we increase estrogen well it depends

what’s causing it but you could start

consuming phytoestrogens like flaxseed

that can help balance estrogen sprouted

legumes could help in a certain way if

you’re going through menopause and you

want to increase estrogen you want to

actually support the adrenal glands okay

they have two of them and the way you do

that is maybe you take an adaptogen

called ashwagandha and you also want to

make sure that you have enough

cholesterol in the diet you know like

egg yolks and butter because that’s the

precursors to make all these hormones

including estrogen and other sex

hormones anyway I wanted to cover

something very specific to hair loss

which is very common this over

sensitivity to this receptor for DHT so

you have some other things to look at to

get your hair back and there’s actually

a lot more to talk about regarding hair

that go into other things if you haven’t

seen my other video on hair loss that is

very important I put that up right here
