Any Peaty explanation why dermarolling works?
dermarolling is regeneration. All the growth factors pop right up and induce growth. Its almost necessary if anyone wants to regrow their hair

Any Peaty explanation why dermarolling works?
I once lived a homeless life for 2-3 days, when I first arrived in the US in NYC. First day was difficult, felt very stressed. The 2nd and 3rd day, something happened, it's like the stress became a part of me. Could it be that maybe the body normalizes the adrenaline / stress response, and you also reach a point where you just stop giving too much *****, and that in itself, promotes gaba.
My theory is that homeless people are not chronically stressed. In fact, the people whose purpose is to rise through the corporate ladder, are the most stressed.
yes, homeless people are not stressed
You were stressed, because you were figuring ***t out. That was corporate ladder type stress you experienced, and I bet you got tons of ***t do e in that timeframe
I have a similar story to tell, 3 days homeless, found job, took uni courses and found apartment in 72 hours.
Stress hormones are really effective
The stress you feel when you are actively trying to make your life better (or have pretty much no choice) feels different from the stress you feel routinely about the job you despise, the hair you want to keep, your gf and so on
Doing nothing is also really stressful in a weird kind of way
I think this is what his post comes down too
so maybe corporate ladder isn’t the right analogy
i think it would be really healthy to frequently turn your whole life around. Routine is death
We often talk about how much energy the hair follicle needs in order to produce hair. One thing I've been wondering recently is the fact that many bald guys are super hairy. If hair growth was so labor-intensive for the body, why would these bald guys be covered in hair? I think it would be hard to say that one hair follicle uses more energy than another...
So maybe it is just a blood flow issue where the follicles/tissues just aren't receiving enough of whatever they need to grow because the follicles on the top of the head are harder to reach because of whatever reason.
What explains high body hair but a body composition that is the exact opposite of estrogenic?Aromatase stimulates body hair. Taking aromatase inhibitors like Letrozole greatly reduced my upper body hair.

I think an androgenic and maybe protective response to estrogen does.
I don’t think it’s the estrogen itself
Good one.If you don't care about balding, that's your right. And we have the right to care about it and discuss it. And by the way, the evidence is overwhelmingly clear: baldness doesn't happen for no reason. It's associated with hypothyroidism, elevated aldosterone, elevated prolactin, and pathological changes to the scalp (microinflammation, chronic neuromuscular tension and fibrosis). If it was ''natural'' or purely ''genetic'' it wouldn't be associated with anything, and we would be able to say that the follicles are ''programmed to miniaturize''. But those who have spent sometime researching the topic know that idea is pure horseshit.
Personally, I don't see it as a vain pursuit. If baldness was indeed genetic inevitability and was totally independent of other health problems, yeah I'd probably say meh, and shave my head. But that is not so, it is a very clear sign of things going wrong, and I think it's a very rewarding and fascinating topic to study, discuss and experiment with.

There is some evidence that scalp hair is much more energy intensive. I don't have all the references I've ever seen at hand, but for instance the scalp hair cycle is much, much longer than body hair, beard or eyebrows. Body hair can't grow for years and in length like scalp hair.
Moreover, the hairy and bald guys typically grow hair everywhere, and I think that is driven by chronic stress, which suppresses the thyroid, allowing the estrogen to rise and directly stimulate adrenal androgen production, which is evidenced by the elevated DHEA of stress. DHEA is preferentially converted into DHT in the skin, thereby androgenizing the tissues, transforming fine peach fuzz hair into terminal hair all over the body.
The fallacy that has been to say that DHT is what's causing the scalp hair loss, when really it's the estrogen, prolactin and cortisol, directly stopping the hair cycle (estrogen), causing shedding (prolactin = molting hormone) and inhibiting future regrowth (cortisol).
This process creates inflammation (a well known feature of chronic estrogen exposure), which in time leads to fibrosis and progressive loss of function of the hair follicle and surrounding scalp tissues from calcification, atrophy, fibrosis.
Blood flow is clearly a problem because peripheral circulation is regulated by thyroid function. As long as the stress threshold remains too high (constant EMF, psychosocial stress, light deficiency, toxins in the water, poor nutrition etc.), blood flow will remain restricted, and I think this is one the fundamental function of serotonin, which is the characteristic of long term stress state, as the opposite of thyroid hormone.
Its the estrogen imbalance. In scenarios were men shift the ratio of estrogen to testosterone so significantly they become women they grow their hair back.
That men who have gone MTF have better hair?I don't agree with you.
