Hasn't you hair improved with these sups for 9 months??Hello
No improvement at all with detumescence therapy though i was consistent with it for months.
I subscribed to Danny Roddy patreon and had a video call with him 2 months ago. I have been taking thyroid supplements since December 2021. Unfortunately supplementing thyroid has not stopped my hair loss. My average temperature is a bit higher than before but nothing significant regarding hair loss.
Danny said to me that I need to fix my gut issues. Digestion is not perfect. I have some diarrhea from time to time.
Danny is really knowledgeable and helpful but mpb seems to be almost impossible to fix.
My regimen over the past 9 months:
Aspirin 500mg daily
Vit k 5mg daily
Vit d 5,000ui daily
27,5mcg T3 daily
60mcg T4 daily
No PUFAs
A lot of calcium through dairy
Hey!Hasn't you hair improved with these sups for 9 months??
In my desperation stage, about 7 years ago, I tried a dose of Minoxidil. I can't take it. And if I understand correctly, finasteride would be even more problematic. So, until a more natural approach comes about, I'll have to endure my follicular fate.If you want real results, my routine is:
1mg daily finasteride
Minoxidil applied once a day
2mm Derma-rolling every 10 days
Alpecin Sport Caffeine shampoo daily
Safe or not, smart or not, it works for me.

Did you actually experience any of these hormonal side effects over the 8 years?I know
Good for you if you are satisfied with the results.
I was on finasteride for 8 years. It kept me hair for sure.
But I wanted to get rid of this hormonal treatment. There are too many sides which are not good in the long term.
That is why I am looking for something else.
I have tried almost everything.
Thyroid supps
Aspirin
Avoiding PUFAs
Increasing calcium intake over phosphate.
Reducing stress
Baking soda
Magnesium citrate
Vit d
Vit k2
ACV
There is nothing else in my stack unfortunately..
And I have been consistent with my regimen for months.
Yes. It was quite some time ago, but some heart and blood pressure issues; as well at the patented minoxidil under eye effect (dry and aged looking).What was so bad about minoxidil that made you stop? Did you experience side effects?
As I just posted on another thread, it's really mind boggling how hair regrowth is one of the most difficult health issues to remedy. It would seem it will be solved one day. (If the world doesn't implode first.)
I do not mouth breath, but I am a poster child for all those other things you mention. As a small runt of a kid, and spastic, I no doubt was the recipient of my dad's genes—at least with regard to being high strung and thin. I was born a preemie which I'm sure is a contributor to all those negatives you mention: high-strung and underdeveloped—prone to stress and probably a cortisol and adrenaline imbalance; scoliosis (much more common in women than men)—the cause of poor posture, poor bite alignment, forward head.Do you mouth breathe? Hows your posture? oral posture? outside of general stress keeping cortisol / adrenaline elevated and or malnutrition (usually low protein, zinc and iron) which are both fixable its almost always related to poor craniofacial development. This means poor oral posture habits from early in life later manifesting as bad posture (curved spine, forward head, stiff neck and shoulders etc) compounded by modern lifestyle habits. This causes tension in shoulders, head, neck and eventually scalp creating the hardened fibrotic / calcified tissue that limits blood flow, sped up by the DHT for its involvement in bone remodelling (hence women don't exp anywhere near the same level of hair loss as men). Minoxidil likely works short term by increasing blood flow and finasteride by increasing nitric oxide and limiting DHTs involvement in bone remodelling which means your hair loss would more mirror that of a womans (very little). Hair massages are at leats breaking up the fibrotic tissue but it needs to go alongside a good posture practice and implement proper oral posture (mewing) and chewing to reduce the chronic tension, inflammation and restore blood flow over time. Something like 95% of people have sub optimal craniofacial development hence baldness is so common, so don't feel bad if you don't look like Brad Pitt he wouldn't lose hair if he was a vegan running a marathon every weekend. Correcting posture, proper mewing and chewing, scalp massages and 100% nasal breathing outside of improving quality of life, proper nutrition and maximising sunlight exposure should go a long way..... Tho most people who practice mewing will tell you after 25 it takes years to see results as bones take longer to remodel but its clear bones especially in the skull like the maxilla are very malleable.
Hair Loss: The Real Underlying Causes Are Not Androgenetic

Mewing is powerful but be careful if your posture isn't already too tight to begin with, only focusing on mewing with bad posture can overwork the jaw muscles. Working on both together really pull the body and skull into alignment.I do believe mewing is helpful and is part of achieving good posture.. I've started it again, just last week, and I'm convinced it has already started to reform my bite. Just tonight, for the first time ever, when I bit down the rear molars connected as if they were aligned slightly different—as strange or unbelievable as that sounds.
I was not too bad. But I think finasteride had a bad impact on my mood and my libido. I feel better now though my hairloss has increased and I dont want to take finasteride again. I am looking for a multi factorial approach. Unfortunately I am not seeing results despite my regimen.Did you actually experience any of these hormonal side effects over the 8 years?
I don't think it is health issues realated in anyway.As I just posted on another thread, it's really mind boggling how hair regrowth is one of the most difficult health issues to remedy. It would seem it will be solved one day. (If the world doesn't implode first.)
