Confidence Killed At The Wrong Time

Everyone's focusing on the hair, it's just a symptom.

He said my hears falling out, I'm quitting uni,

I understand this intelegant young man is indicating that university is making his hair fall out because it is a stressful environment for him and so he should leave that environment for a more enriching one and the hair will grow back.

Get some labs first and foremost.

Vit D
TSH
Prolactin

What are optimal ranges?

That doesnt mean there are physical issues that are lacking in his body that would buffer the stress. Its not the stress itsef but the fact his body cant deal with it. Bear in mind stress isnt JUST emotional or physical, its not just acute, it can also be accumulated from missing nutritional or metabolic things. A silent stress if you will

What are optimal ranges?

Generally agreed upon here on the forums

VitD - somewhere around 50-55 +\- 5 or so
TSH - 1ish or less
Prolactin - 4-8ish for a male depending on the person


EDIT: just as an extra part to my ramble as a data point. Ive been working at this almost 2 years, my tsh has been up down and up again, my vit d had fallen and I just recently got prolactin numbers hat were pretty high(docs refused to test). Point is ive adhered to this like glue constantly trying to improve so everything isnt going to be dead nuts perfect in 1 snapshot of blood work

I didn't say that there wasn't the possibility of something like in today's world, it's highly likely.

There is a reason he mentioned university and didn't write he's hair is falling out could it be my diet or my vitamin d or something.

Spiritual stress is known to be where it begins and cascades down into the physical.

I'm blaming the environment and not the man himself.

I've had a lot of success with fixing baldness. Baldness is due to excessive estrogen/PUFA irritating your adrenals to produce a lot of adrenal androgens which fry your hair follicles and prostate. The way to fix it is to:

1) increase cortisol/decrease prolactin/decrease serotonin (which will reduce adrenal androgens) with lots of caffeinated coffee (10-15 cups a day), and NoFap + sensory deprivation (this is why homeless people and people in developing countries have less baldness I think). Even getting aroused without ejaculating will increase DHEA, so you really have to avoid porn. It's toxic for everybody in every way.

2) reduce the effects of PUFA by taking high quality Vitamin E and aspirin daily, maybe zinc if you're deficient, and maintain a high quality diet with low PUFA. In the initial phases of fixing baldness, although Peat recommends regular milk intake, a high calcium diet would be detrimental and will accelerate baldness.

3) reduce blood phosphorus by bag-breathing, carefully avoiding high phosphorous foods, increasing fructose intake which excretes phosphorus, increasing salt + Vitamin K + baking soda intake to increase the effects of CO2 in your body which excretes phosphorus, and taking moderate doses of niacinamide with enough sugar/b6 which will also accelerate phosphorus removal. It's very important to avoid fat oxidation because glucose oxidation is the fundamental source of CO2 in your body. Also excess estrogen + free fatty acids will strongly reduce endogenous niacin production.

It's really a very complex thing, but the fundamental cause is excess PUFA/estrogen. However, to fix it at the fundamental level by reducing PUFA will take years, so in the short-term, the way to fix it is to decrease phosphorus, reduce prostaglandins, and most surprisingly, increase cortisol production to reduce adrenal androgen production via relatively healthy ways such as caffeine, NoFap, and sensory deprivation (the fact that high cortisol reduces adrenal androgens is also probably why many attractive people have mental health issues...)

I hope that helps.

Isnt increasing cortisol gonna increase the adrenal androgens as well?

Bro who gives a **** about hair lmao

So since someone took the liberty of being offended by this post on behalf of OP (towards which the comment wasn't aimed, by the way - I was just expressing my stance) let me add this. It's much easier to regrow confidence than regrow the hair. If you don't get out of this anxious mindset you will have a bad time even if you have a full head of hair. Eventually you just have to stop caring, and any hair gains that you manage to get through Peating or other ways must just be an added bonus.

Bingo! Such is on point.

Increasing ACTH will increase adrenal androgens but increasing cortisol without increasing ACTH will reduce adrenal androgens because cortisol completes the negative feedback loop for ACTH. That's why only healthy stress is good, like caffeine and NoFap.

Try Caffeine, Progesterone, and Taurine.

Just focus on making your body healthier and stronger.

Listen to these guys, really.

I don't understand why men are so fragile about their hair. There are so many bald guys nowadays you would still fit right in. Some women have even said they have a thing for bald guys. I say just shave it. It doesn't look good when a man holds on to what little hair he has because he won't let go.
