so today we're gonna talk about receding hairline what to do about it okay like
one day you're like what you're looking at me or going what is happening to my
hair I'm losing my hair two reasons one is that you have higher levels of
something called 5-alpha reductase this is an enzyme this enzyme converts
testosterone into a more powerful form of testosterone called DHT and this can
definitely burn out the hair follicles and also on top as well
okay second reason is higher androgens that aren't necessarily caused by this
increase in this enzyme but your androgens are just higher okay androgens
are male hormones but females have antigens but not in the quantities that
males have if a female has too much androgens she's going to get facial hair
acne because of the enlargement of the sebaceous gland or the oil gland and
large learnings what's that going to do it's gonna drop the voice a deeper voice
axillary hairs armpit hair and a female this is called polycystic ovarian
syndrome or disorder okay so how do we reduce 5 alpha reductase this enzyme
what you do is you take a natural 5 alpha reductase inhibitor zinc is at the
top of the list and if you think about it zinc is also really important in your
immune system okay so if you have alopecia for example which is an
autoimmune condition this would be very very important in which case you would
want to also add vitamin D in large quantities okay number two omega-3
fatty acids number three vitamin b2 all three of these can inhibit this enzyme
and lessen the amount of DHT being produced all right next one androgens how
do we normalize androgens in a female as in how do we improve polycystic ovarian
syndrome well guess what the one of the biggest causes to this is high levels of
insulin okay high levels of insulin which cause insulin resistance end up
causing too many energy so you guessed it get on keto and intermittent
fasting but these two actions will help greatly normalize insulin
which will then help normalize androgens and if you're a guy and you have too
much androgen especially in the form of DHT okay do these right here as well as
these right here all right see you in the next video so if you want to get notified
