Episode notes

There's a real interplay between tellegen effluvium and male pattern hair loss. The actions of an androgenic alapeta and d h t poptosis and the stem cells and hair folical could be accelerated. And it's very likely that this is the reason why pattern harloss, in my opinion, is accelerating in the developed world. But consumers just go to the office, they get a prescription for phenasteride. Maybe they see success. A growing number of people non responsive respondes to this drug, at least anecdotally from my experience tracking people over a number of years.

Rob English is a medical editor who specializes in hair loss disorders. He sits on the editorial board of Dermatology and Therapy, and he's the founder of perfecthairhealth.com – a website dedicated to showcasing evidence-based protocols for hair regrowth, with or without drugs. His fascination with hair loss began in 2007 – right after he was diagnosed with androgenic alopecia. Today, he spends his time managing a small team of researchers and teaching other hair loss sufferers how to avoid his treatment mistakes. By employing an approach that prioritizes education over product purchases and one-on-one support over "one-size-fits-all" solutions, he has helped thousands of men and women improve their hair loss – and on their terms (most often without drugs).
