Addressing root cause of male pattern baldness: a well known approach?

[2020]

2020, you always have tunnel vision. Okay, you have low SHBG. Ask yourself why.
Can't answer? Then shush and listen.

I didn't say I have a low SHBG.... I said it would be wise to keep it high though.

Study examining the japanese case (sorry, need access for article): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14527633

right right... low SHBG = insulin problems. I know that. Question now: what would be the best way to raise it without changing diet?

Overlook:

no one here will change their diet purely for male pattern baldness.... I'd rather go bald actually. Don't reduce this forum to IH where they talk about which potatoes are better for hair ffs why are they so crazy?

You can't. Hormonal balance is tightly regulated in the organism. The best you can do is either raise or decrease metabolic rates, or correct imbalances.

Probably trying to forcefully increase your metabolic rate with the same treatment i have been advocating since the start of the thread... pregnenolone, T replacement, cortisol replacement, Thyroid hormone replacement. For starters, the only way to increase resting metabolism is to get the thyroid to allow for a higher metabolic rate, despite the pituitary telling it to "lay low". As i said before, just trying increase your SHBG to useful levels would be a disaster and create a metabolic imbalance.

Are you kidding? Paying thousands of dollars for a transplant which is simply groctesque and barely covers what you lost, or taking dangerous meds like finasteride is better than adopting a healthier diet? I know people who would gladly kill if it stopped their balding.

That said, i don't plan to discuss diet in detail in this thread and forum. There are specific forums for that.

all right so since SHBG is low what could be the most common causes for it?

ugh is that really the best way? Taking T3 pills for the rest of your life? That can't be good

did I suggest transplants and DHT blockers? I said I'd rather just give up and go bald gracefully rather than going on crazy diets(which never work for MPB) for the rest of my life...

no one has ever ever ever in the history of mankind stopped their MPB by changing diet.

looooooool

hes told you 10 million times yet you still ask the same question.

dude, just stick to your pgd2 inhibition or finastride.

insulin is not the only thing that controls SHBG levels and even so how would I fix it without going on a diet?

use a pgd2 inhibitor?? lool

you cant do it without modifying your diet, try adding green tea. theres studies stating it raises sbhg.

what are you talking about?

so we're back on bad diet causes MPB? no...

okay green tea I'll go look for studies, what else?

finasteride increased it in women...

alcoholism = hypo-androgenism

that explains why rock stars never lose hair

yeah but I don't want to block 5AR... your body will eventually adjust to it so that's a bad long term solution

loool i thought diet cant impact hair loss...

finasteride is a good way to address the 5alpareductase imbalances, but the dosages/treatment frequency is overkill.

yeah we're talking about ALCOHOL here.... now show me a study where the same is achieved on a gluten free diet or something

5AR is fine.

we need to find a way to inhibit DHT in a way like equol or SHBG that way your body could not build a tolerance to it so MPB would be effectively cured...

alcohol is part of the diet.
