So, guys, Derek, moreplacemoredates.com.

Today we're going to be talking about adrenal steroids

and can they still contribute to hair loss?

Even if you're castrated, can you still get male pattern baldness?

That's what we're going to be digging into in this one.

So some of the hardcore hair loss prevention methods can go as far as shutting down the endogenous HPTA, you know, what most people call it, it's really

an HPG axis, which we all know is essentially what determines your body signaling to produce

testosterone and subsequently DHT by extension after interaction of 5 alpha reductase.

So if you shut yourself down, your endocrine function is just like downregulated to fuck to the point that you're not even producing

testosterone anymore how could you possibly still have anything going on what a lot of people don't

realize is the adrenals produce steroids on their own which then have downstream cascades that can lead to testosterone and

dhc still. How significant is this, though? Not overly significant on paper and serum, which is

interesting. Like I did show in the past where I've taken a milligram of dutastoride for a year

straight on a daily basis and it fucking crushed my dht

levels to that of a prepubescent female probably even less than that to be honest there's probably

less dhg than a fucking baby to be on to be honest that's how low it was it was undetectable but

the adrenals can still produce trace androgens and by extension through a backdoor

pathway that is on a something that can't be accounted for with 5 alpha reductase inhibition

can still result in scalp dhc levels, which is something that's not necessarily going to show up

in a blood test either, which is something

we're going to be digging into now.

So this is the steroid genesis of DHT via classical alternative and backdoor pathways.
