Hi Georgia,

In the field of upregulating and downregulating genes, upgrading your body system program, you should studie Joe Dispenza work and meditations.

Hi Kuba, I’m from China, Zhangguang101 is well known for promoting hair growth for a certain period in China, but it is then discovered to contain minoxidil inside, most Chinese medicine doesn’t help much in hairloss, at least in the short term, because chinese medecine is hard to explain with science, may be there will be something can really help improve hairloss in the future for chinese medicine, but for now, Zhangguang 101 would be nothing different from minoxidil.

Hey Danish,

I saw your email about this as well. I tend to follow a paleo-based diet (plus white rice), but in general, diet’s connection to hair loss is mainly surrounding hair shedding disorder (telogen effluvium and chronic telogen effluvium). There’s not a ton of evidence linking nutrition to AGA (though there are, theoretically, a few pathways where this might be plausible). So rest assured if you’re eating a nutrient replete diet, avoiding a calorie deficit, and minimizing your exposure to inflammatory / allergenic foods – you’re doing what you can from a dietary perspective to improve things.

Best,
Rob

I´m following your research with a lot of interest. You’re doing an amazing job there! I´m thinking of buying your book soon (I want to read all the articles in your blog first).

It seems like my hair is miniaturizing (I started having thinner hair on the sides and the back of the scalp & slowly the hair on the top is also getting thinner – not the typical pattern for women, I know) and I am terrified of passing this on to my kids if I´ll ever have any. I do not have any female baldness history in my family (but are bald men, including my dad), but still got this (due to epigenetics then?). I´m just wondering whether my kids would have a higher predisposition to develop baldness because in my case the gene went “on” due to “x” reasons. I know there are a lot of genes involved, but taking the mice example, I would in principle not pass it if I managed to turn the baldness genes “off”. 🙂 I know it’s not that simple but I´m wondering how you see this.

Thanks so much for your views and keep up with the GREAT work!

I’m a woman in her mid-30s and I’ve just been diagnosed with female pattern hair loss. My scalp biopsy reports shows “possibly lichen plano pyloris” and “suggestion of early concentric fibrosis around the hair follicles”. The final diagnosis on the report is “mild perifollicutlis present with possible early fibrosis”.

My dermatologist is pretty positive its actually early AGA which he has put down to my genes. All the hairs from my sample were terminal hairs with no predominance of telagen or vellus hair. No marked loss of hair follicles yet. So maybe I’m wrong but how did come to this conclusion?

I went to a functional doctor who ran tests and found me to be low in iron, vitamin D and B12. My oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone are all low and CRP serum levels are elevated. I wish it was just a case of telogen effluvium but the derm believes otherwise.

As for the genetic side of things, my mom’s side of the family do not bald but my grandfather and 2 uncles are completely bald

He hasn’t discussed why he’s come to this diagnosis but I recognise a lot of the terms on my report that you use on your site such as inflammation, fibrosis,etc.

He wants to put me on minodoxil. I still have a good head of hair but its gradually losing density and I’m afraid of the side effects of such a treatment.

Your techniques sound promising and safe/without side effects and I would love to try it but with the current recession in my country and the negative Rates of Exchange impact I’ll have to wait quite a while before I can afford to order your book.

I read your article regarding the balding gene and I want to share my family’s story to share with you how weird and complicated this whole hair loss thing has been for me.

As I mentioned before, my paternal grandfather and both my dad’s brothers are completely bald. My dad was blessed with a great head of hair most of his life but slowly developed typical male pattern baldness symptoms (mostly at the crown) in his late 50s. He took it in his stride thinking it was inevitable from his genes. A few years later he got sick and developed fibrosis of the lungs and was in a coma for a month. We watched in horror as all his remaining hair fell out while he lay there unconscious. But surprisingly a year later after his recovery he had regrown all his hair including on all his bald spots. He sadly passed away last year with a head full of silver hair. We never understood how he magically recovered from the hair loss which we all put down to “genes”.

I’m hoping for a miracle as I struggle with my own hair loss which I don’t even know how to treat as I don’t know what type of hair loss I actually have based on the above.

But I’d like to know your own thoughts regarding my own situation and my dad? Also how is it possible that a man who was clearly balding like his brothers and father could “reverse” the baldness by doing nothing? The only thing I can think of was that he was on a lot of anti-biotics to fight the infection in his lungs. Would this have helped in some way?

Also a second question, I suspect that if I have AGA, that the contraceptive pill may have triggered it. What is your thoughts on this? I’m using something a Pill which contains gestodene. Its known as a “light contraceptive pill” in my country. But the hair loss has been so gradual I can’t really tell when it may have started.

Thanks for reading my comments.

Hey Rachel,

Have you tested for any of the following?

-Hypothyroidism
-Hyperparathyroidism
-SIBO
-PCOS
-Nutrient levels (namely vitamin A, D, B-12, zinc, copper, and iron)

Particularly for young women, these conditions are concomitantly associated with the onset of hair thinning. When they’re properly treated, most of the women with whom I’ve worked have reported an arrest (or reversal) of hair loss.

Best,
Rob

I was looking through the article and have found many interesting information in it and would like to seek your advice.

I am an Asian Female and have notice falling hairs since I was 13 years old. Till now, I am 27 years old and the situation have gotten really worse where I think my hairs are not growing anymore. Before I resign myself to the harsh reality and due to DNA (My mom started to lose hair at a young age too), is there anything that I can do to regain back my hair? Or to slower the process?

Thank you so much.
