Early balding, metabolic syndrome and diet

[gutted]

sure but why he didn't go bald?

its probably to do with his healthy gut/body bacteria, or hes blessed somehow in the genetics department.

remember there are some people in the population that produce equol.

What i'm trying to focus on here is balding in your twenties, with the assumption that the cause of such early balding is an excessive production of DHT following the acquisition of metabolic syndrome.
Basically, i'm trying to understand whether producing too much DHT isn't genetic, but an acquired "condition".
If it was so, it would mean balding in your twenties is a true disease, or the symptom of an underlying disease.

The recent study about tocotrienol effect on hair growth showed major efficacy without blocking DHT (and actually increasing testosterone). Not only such tocotrienols exhibited an hormone-balancing effect, but they also seemed to relieve the "fatty liver syndrome", which is supposedly a necessary Metabolic Syndrome-linked cause to low SHBG levels, which in turn would cause over-availability of free Testosterone for DHT conversion.
While the cause of hair regrowth due to tocotrienol is attributed to "antioxidant" action of the vitamin complex i believe it could be the hormone regulatory action instead. "Fixing" or "improving" the "fatty liver syndrome" could improve SHBG levels and thus reduce DHT levels. This effect could be transitory, though.

A normal diet shift could be not enough to heal the condition, like it isn't enough to heal people of type 2 diabetes, however an extremely low carb diet has proven to be able to heal type 2 diabetes sufferers and could help people with metabolic syndrome just in the same way. I guess the only thing left for me to do about this is to test it on myself in the following years. Fish oil supplements, the Toco-8 supplement and a permanent harsh low carb diet shift.

thats exactly what it is.

Since when is producing too much DHT the issue? Isn't it more so the oversensitivity to DHT?

Well, with lower DHT levels the oversensitivity becomes less of a factor.

Your DHT levels, whether from diet or genes, aren't the problem. The problem is follicular sensitivity to DHT. That's what causes miniaturization, and lifestyle changes unfortunately won't anything much to help that.

Injecting steroids it's a life choice that alters your hormones and it does change much your hair loss status. Look at all the body builders !

Unless they all decided to get buffed once they started losing their hair

well i guess that is probably what modern science has established so far, but in my opinon, flawed.
