Turn a transsexual and expect your hair to be regrowth :whistle:

Estrogen, the female hormone, is what causes the production of DHT. Therefore hair loss can only be stopped by the reduction of estrogen.

The reason the body will over produce DHT is due to excess estrogen.

Some studies suggest even baldness, may be associated to high fat diets that stimulate the overproduction testosterone wich converts to ESTROGEN

Good article about estrogen

DHT often sited as the bad guy in hair loss is only part of the picture. In fact, testosterone actually can assist or enhance hair growth on top of the head provided the estrogen levels are management. In the ideal situation, Testosterone is in the highest concentration, followed by DHT, which might make up close to ¼ to 1/3 the total androgen load, and estrogen will make up the lowest portion of concentration. However, when estrogen increases too high, the testosterone receptors are blocked by the estrogen, and testosterone will be crowded out.

Heya duuuude

This is one area where my research and knowledge is quite limited, I just kinda know enough to know that healthy, strong T levels (but not excessive) and healthy, low E levels (but not excessively low) seems to be the absolute optimum for a man (including a man with hair loss).

I'll have more of a look into this later (I'm spent for now.. lol) but I am with you in pinpointing estrogen as largely a bad thing for men.

Curcumin and Resveratrol is an internal male pattern baldness treatment that has worked on people, and the hormonal shift it triggers increases T, decreases E and slightly decreases 5ar.

I did want to include something in my regimen for reducing estrogen but I'm not really sure it's necessary tbh. Reducing insulin and cortisol, improving my thyroid, ashwagandha, all that kind of stuff should improve my T production, which will in turn reduce E

I believe curcumin also inhibits the "bad" estrogen

Hey man, what's your regimen as of now
