Gillett Health Q&A Pt.2 | The Gillett Health Podcast #63

I really appreciate your frankness around depression and supplements. As a long time sufferer of both anxiety and depression I wish it was as simple as omega 3s lol. Really stoked to be working with Gillette. And Ketamine though still a little Wild West is a game changer for a lot of people.

"game changer" Ok I will take a pass on that then.

Would you ever consider inviting Dr. Jack Kruse on the channel? I think it would be extremely valuable to see the three of you engaging in a nuanced discussion around the topic of healthy sun exposure. It would be really refreshing actually having someone intelligent and scientifically literate, such as yourself, challenge his somewhat contrarian views. Curious to know your thoughts.

Another question for you guys to answer in a future video: what would be the mechanism or explanation as to why finasteride or dutasteride would cause insomnia or disrupt sleep patterns? Would it have to do with allopregnanolne affects on the GABA-A receptor? And between fin or dut which would more likely cause insomnia. And finally what would be some measures to attenuate or offset sleep issues caused by these drugs? Rx options, supplements, life style, etc.

bc it lowers DHT

[@IhsaanTyalor]

Have you considered the other effects of 5aR inhibition besides inhibiting the conversion of T to DHT? Specifically neurosteroids.

Do you think either oral Dutasteride is always more effective than oral Finasteride and do you think oral versions of either are better than topical versions of either? I'm thinking about someone with stomach issues such as IBS where someone has frequent bowel movements or maybe their stomach doesn't function properly enough to convert the oral versions. Are you aware of any case studies where a topical versions were more effective than oral versions?

[@Jim-oc3sp]

Where can I provide questions for you to answer in future videos?

Hi Guys question for the next one: Do you think the rumoured steroidogenesis inhibition should be a deterrent from oral minoxidil for those gym rats like myself? I saw a bb'er on KZbin mention in a Q&A that oral min is a steroidogenesis inhibitor. Id never heard this so I googled and found two studies: 1. New Target for Minoxidil in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia 2. Minoxidil may suppress androgen receptor-related functions Do you think OM would negatively impact muscle protein synthesis? was keen to hop on until I read this.

The question about PFS is one of the rare times I felt the need to turn up the volume to actually hear your softly spoken voices enough to fully understand your speaking. Funny, because when you google that acronym, nobody knows what on earth you are talking about and it has to do with pain and suffering in the human knee joint, so until the human race catches up to you with the ability to speak in "fam code" as to do with medical advice, I think you lose a lot of the effectiveness of your speaking. In other words, you are wasting your breath or should I write IOW, you are WYB??
