Today, I’m going to show you how to reverse hair loss naturally, without damaging side effects. Most hair loss is androgenic, typically resulting in male pattern baldness and thinning hair in women. The hair follicle requires significant oxygen and mitochondria for optimal hair growth.
Testosterone decreases with age in both men and women and is replaced by DHT, a more powerful form of testosterone. Many hair regrowth treatments work by inhibiting DHT.
Too much DHT can decrease hair growth, reduce oxygen, increase inflammation, and increase scar tissue in the hair follicle. Drugs for hair growth that work by lowering DHT can come with side effects like decreased libido and erectile dysfunction.
Beyond age and genetics, the primary driver of DHT is insulin resistance!
To reverse hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth, you must support the environment of the hair follicle. Mechanical scalp stimulation is one of the most overlooked yet effective remedies for hair loss, with microneedling being the most effective method.
Other natural remedies for hair loss include:
•Red light/NIR light
•Rosemary oil (natural Rogaine)
•Correcting insulin resistance. This FREE mini course can show you how: https://drbrg.co/4pBHk9O
•Increase zinc (30-40 mg) and vitamin D (10,000 IU)
•Natural 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors: saw palmetto, pumpkin seed oil, EGCG, peppermint oil, zinc

| 0:00.0 | Today we're going to talk about how to reverse hair loss. |
| 0:04.0 | I'm also going to get into the number one best meal if you want to grow your hair. |
| 0:09.0 | The most common cause of hair loss is androgenic, and I'm going to explain what that is, |
| 0:15.0 | but that involves a pattern baldness, where if it's a man, they're going to actually lose |
| 0:19.0 | their hair on the top right here. In a female, it's more thinning hair through here. |
| 0:24.6 | How could someone possibly grow hair on their chin, but then lose the hair up here? |
| 0:32.6 | In fact, I have a perfect example of this right here. |
| 0:35.6 | If I take this gentleman right here, you can see, oh, let's just take this off right here. |
| 0:40.3 | He has all this hair right through here and right there, but nothing right here. |
| 0:46.3 | Today we're going to answer why that is. |
| 0:48.3 | So let's just build a little foundation. |
| 0:50.3 | This is one of your hairs right through here. We have the scalp right here. And around the hair, |
| 0:56.7 | there's something called a follicle. What is the follicle? Follicle is not the hair. It's a little |
| 1:01.9 | environment around the hair that has a tiny factory that helps the hair grow. And what's very |
| 1:09.5 | unique about this follicle is it requires a tremendous |
| 1:12.8 | amount of oxygen and also the energy factories that come along with it, which is mitochondria. |
| 1:19.4 | As we age, hormones do decrease. One hormone that decreases is testosterone, both in men and women. |
| 1:31.7 | But there's another hormone, a more powerful version of testosterone, that tends to go up as we age, and that's called Dht. And quite a few |
| 1:40.1 | different medications that help you grow your hair work by inhibiting or decreasing this type of |
| 1:48.0 | testosterone called dh t so they're dht inhibitors in your body testosterone is converted into dh t so in |
| 1:58.0 | this situation as we get older we end up with lower testosterone and a bit higher dh T. We need it. It actually |
| 2:07.9 | affects our libido, but we don't need excessive amounts of it. And if we get too much dh T, |
