  1. “There is evidence suggesting that regular aerobics and weight training can reduce the free testosterone level in the blood in such people and thus have a beneficial effect in pattern hair loss.[19,20] But, only weight training without aerobics can often increase serum free testosterone levels and susceptibility to hair loss.[21–24]” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2956962/#!po=30.0000 if this article is anything to go by it seems that weight training in isolation is potentially more conducive to hair loss than weight training alongside aerobic activity.

  2. I noticed that the stress (or something else? ) caused by strenuous weight lifting causes graying of the hair (for sure) and falling out, on those who are prone to these conditions (such as myself)

  3. I notice an increase when when I stop weight training. Also I notice an increase when I do fast running around lactate threshold or faster, which sucks because I feel so much healthier running fast one per week.

  4. I hope you answer my question,i feel To much itchy in my crown area when I lifting weightS,excatly in that area my hairs got thin
    I think there is a connection
    What u think?

  5. If it's true that muscle-building exercises exacerbate hair loss, then can you prevent hair loss by only doing aerobic exercises? I hope I don't have to make a choice between building muscles and preventing hair loss. What should people do if they want thick hair and a strong body?

  6. I have a question that takes this topic a stage further. For a person who has the hair loss gene and who is also taking steroids, will taking finasteride still be as effective?
    I would intuitively think that it would since it blocks the receptor for DHT. So even though the subject will have higher levels of testosterone and therefore more DHT, it should still be prevented from binding to the aforementioned receptor.
    That’s my thought at least. What do you think?

  7. You really need to give the hair transplant industry and the many victims of it FULL TRANSPARENCY about your ethics. I cannot believe that after your involvement with the Global Hair loss Summit that such fraudulent behavour continues once again from the supposedly 'ethically' elite. To quote Spencer Kobren, 'the minute that money is removed from this industry then the better this industry will be.' I'd love to hear Joe Tillman's comment on this too!

  8. I have a couple questions on finasteride, they say it takes months to notice visual improvement but how long does it take for the medication to stop your hair from falling? Will the first few weeks of medication be enough to take some load of dht off the follicles? Thanks

  9. Hi i wanted to ask you doctor if taking a combination of finasteride (1mg pills) as well as using a minoxidil solution on the crown at the same time, could using these affect my progress in the gym? i have been working out for 7-8 years and am very serious about lifting. i wanted to know if using these products/prescriptions could they affect my hormone levels in a way that would cause me to become weaker/softer and lose progress, or should they have zero affect on working out. I response would mean the world to me 🙂

  10. Given that genome sequencing and genetic testing is available, perhaps you could make a video on whether you can be tested for androgenic alopecia or not.

  11. What difference it makes taking 6-month finasteride + Minoxidil and performing HT after that or other way around doing HT first and taking FIN+MIN. Which one do you recommend? for better result. Will i damage the gain I got from the first option using FIN+MIN then Surgery? because surgery punctures the skin and damages the follicle. I have grade 5 and progressing baldness. My crown has 50% hair and in front having 20% hair and Scalp is visible equally in front and back. Currently am in FIN+MIN+PRP treatment for the last 2 months.

  12. Hi doctors, I know that this has briefly been mentioned in bits of your other videos, but could you potentially dedicate an entire short segment on stress and it's effects on hair loss, specifically in AA? Also, it would be really beneficial to know if stress reduction (and practical methods to do so) could actually slow/halt hair loss in AA.

  13. Hey Doctors, how you doing? I recently discovered this channel and I have to say it's one of the most informative, useful and engaging that I've ever seen on Youtube. Not many people in the world have the possibilities to have advice from two world wide hair loss expert physicians, and FOR FREE!!! I'd like to thank you for all your help to those who suffer this curse that is alopecia. Thanks to you we all have this information we can really trust to not make mistakes in treament that might lead to afections in our health. I would lik to offer you this: I'm from Latin America, and we don't have access to a channel this quality in spanish. I propose you to caption some of these videos for free to allow this information you provide gets to people who don't speak english and can benefit from this info too. I'm really looking forward to your response. And again, thank you very much.

  14. Thanks for the video. Just a few questions-
    Do you think there is any correlation between hair loss and consuming supplements like whey protein and creatine monohydrate?
    Do we need to wash our hair everyday if we are applying minoxidil everyday?
    Is there any side effects if minoxidil gets applied to hair while applying to scalp?

  15. By looking at the DHT inhibition curve of finasteride, 1/8th of a 1mg pill (~0.12 mg) still reduces the DHT to 53% whereas 1 mg inhibits it to 68%, does that mean 0.12 mg can still be an effective dose and help people with mild to moderate hairloss?

  16. Please can you do a video on finasteride and mental health, as depression is now an advertised warning on the label. What do your patients say, do some have to come off it due to depression?
