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
