Show Notes:

01:00 We may slow hair graying and hair loss by decreasing chronic inflammation.

02:00 By age 50, 50% of us will have 50% of our hair gray.

02:00 Over 1 year you lose .25% of your hair follicles.

03:00 post-menopausal women have a dramatic increase in follicle loss.

03:30 Oxidative stress can influence gray hair.

04:20 UV stress can affect the hair bulb.

04:40 There is a correlation between graying of hair, facial wrinkling, and crown top baldness and myocardial infarction in men.

08:00 With age, hairs are reduced in diameter and experience follicle miniaturization.

08:55 Chronic inflammation increases damage to DNA proteins and lipids within the hair follicle environment.

10:05 Collagen may be effective in preventing premature wrinkling of the skin and hair loss.

10:55 Bone mineral density correlates with hair loss and hair graying.

11:20 Slowing senescence and purging senescent cells happen with fasting and exercise.

12:25 Minimize exposure to pollution. Avoid excessive sun exposure. Avoid nutrition deficiencies.

13:30 Insulin resistance and PCOS can exacerbate hair loss.

14:00 Sometimes graying from environmental factors may be reversed.

14:30 52% of post-menopausal women experience hair loss.

14:40 Micronized progesterone can help women preserve the integrity of skin and hair follicle.

15:20 Lack of estrogen accelerates changes in hair follicle and skin aging.

17:45 Some shampoos can accelerate graying and hair loss.

18:35 Men with high levels of DHT, consider a ketoconazole shampoo.

0:00.0	In today's show, we're going to take a deeper dive into preventing premature
0:02.7	grain and hair loss, drawing upon some recently published scientific articles
0:06.3	that talk about the histopathology or premature grain hair and also hair loss.
0:11.0	We're going to talk about senile alopecia, which is age-associated hair loss
0:15.3	and premature grain.
0:16.8	Why does this happen?
0:18.0	And what can you do about it most importantly, specifically for both men and
0:22.3	women, talk about the differences hormonally.
0:24.8	For men, there's obviously a concern with dihydrotestosterone DHT,
0:29.0	how it impacts the hair bulb and the follicle causing male pattern baldness,
0:32.9	but that's not the only factor.
0:34.9	It turns out that inflammation, accelerated biologic aging,
0:38.3	cellular senescence are all links to premature skin and hair,
0:43.0	grain and hair loss.
0:44.4	And so it's important that we understand the mechanisms here.
0:46.7	We're going to talk about some histology, some science and talk about tactics
0:51.0	and what to do because I don't know about you, but you know,
0:54.0	when you start to notice your hair thinning, it can be a little depressing.
0:56.8	That's just a marker that maybe you're aging and that doesn't make you feel good
1:01.8	and grain of the hair and specifically hair loss.
1:04.6	It's really hard on one's mindset.
1:06.6	And so there's a lot of good evidence to suggest that we can augment this.
