Episode notes

There's this thing called pressure alapetia, and that can also occur as a result of types of surgeries where the head isn't stabilized. And in addition to that, injury where there's a lot of swelling to the tissue causes an increased hair cyclen shed. But it's not androgenic alAPetia. It's not stress related hair loss. It's a different type of cause. If you don't make an effort to understand your individual causes of hair loss, you're not going to see the outcomes that you want.

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.
