Episode notes

Phenasteride is generally relegated to stopping hair loss and leading to a ten % increase in hair count over a series of two years, at which point its efficacy plateaus. There's only a small centage of people who see a change like this while taking phenasteride. This was one patient selected to represent results of the best of the best responses out of a thousand people. And we know that pattern hair loss is mediated by dh tea and genetics; yet here's somebody doing a diet greatly improving pattern hair loss. Why is that happening? I'm in to stop sharing because i don't have too much to talk about in terms of what's on screen for the next five minutes

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). You can see his clients' testimonials and find his work at perfecthairhealth.com.
