• Lack of bile
• Estrogen spike
2. Receding hairline-An androgen problem
Causes of an androgen problem

Just for the people who reads the comment. Quit Sugar! I went from having very frizzy hair, almost afro after shower, it was very dry and my hair looked worse the longer it got. Then i quit sugar.. and just one of the many, many positives i noticed was a much better hair. Now its not frizzy at all, its not messy, it doesnt stand in 180 directions, its like i take conditioner, the best hair care products everyday without doing anything.

I see a lot of comments that bashed Dr. Berg for saying certain things about certain diets. He didn't say that everyone who did high protein or everyone that became vegetarian would lose their hair. He mentioned that people with certain body types and different cases that he's come across couldn't handle a particular diet course that they'd chosen. He says no diet is one size fits all meaning some people do better with high protein, so do better without animal products, etc. Why are individuals always so ready to jump down a person's throat when they hear something that clearly doesn't apply to them? We have two ears and one mouth. We are to listen twice as much as we speak. It's the course of wisdom. Goodness gracious.

When I'm single and no longer have that stress, my hair begins to grow back and becomes thicker. I also end up with new grey streaks in my hair every time I'm in a stressful relationship.

2 years ago a SEVERE anxiety disorder came out of nowhere (well, looking back I see exactly how it happened but at the time it seemed out of the blue). I am currently 39 years old and until that point, my hairline was unchanged. Now, I have lost about an inch on the hairline. Thankfully, I have solved my anxiety (I was on medication but it did not help and made me a zombie) through a period of INTENSE personal growth...I believe I have undergone an 'ego death'. So, cortisol WILL decimate your hairline! I am taking some supplements, working out and trying to be mentally peaceful and my hair is already feeling thicker, hopefully I will grow back at least some of what was lost.

Dr. Berg, I'm looking at your formula. Many of the ingredients I already take. I've been on Viviscal Man as well, for a year now with very little results. I feel that my hair loss and thinning was due to a stressful time in my life, as well as weightlifting and use of creatine monohydrate supplements. I also suspect Electro-magnetic radiation from things like WiFi, Smart Meters, 4G, 5G, etc. What is your take on these things? I'd be interested in knowing. Thanks!

Look Into Iodine! I use ( J.Crow's). As soon as started using it, my hair stopped falling out in chunks. Granted by the time I found out the problem my hair is really thin, but at least it stopped falling out every time I showed, brushed, or put my hands though my hair. Come to find out lots of people or Iodine defecent. I can't promise it will work for everyone, but that was what my body was missing. I honesty think it started when I did a detox. I think I literally detoxed all my reserves and thats when I really started noticing the problems, and never replenished myself. Find what your missing and fix yourelf. Good luck!

[@Food4thought1234]

@@doulidle3717 You're supposed to start off with small doses. So the first week add 1-3 drops in water every day. I read that apple cider vinger with the "mother" is best. It helps the body cleans out the toxins. You can add the vinger to taste. Then I eventually raised it to 10 drops a day. But I'm now using 5% solution. Also if you want add a Selenium tablet. It's supposed to help your body absorb everything better. Good luck! I've been doing it for a few months now.

[@Food4thought1234]

​@@doulidle3717 They recommend starting off with small doses because most people feel sick because of the detoxification, but you can add more if you like. I personally found that taking it right before bed was the easiest. (because I'm lazy) I started just taking it with a meal, then slowly just took it on an empty stomach. Or if you pee a lot when sleeping just do it in the morning. I'm sure it's better by itself, but it's up you. I want to say that after a month or less I noticed a difference. I don't really remember honestly. I remember I did notice a difference pretty quickly. I've been taking it so long that I figured I was good, so I stopped for about a week or two and I started noticing hair falling out again. So now I take it every other day/every day. I don't think there is regrowth, but my hair has more volume and just looks better. it's not limp and dead and falling out in my hands like before. (but it could be because of the new shampoo) Haha But you have to remember everyone is different. My issue may have be different from yours. I've had stomach issues for a long time. So I'm thinking my body was low on minerals and not absorbing them right. I think this helped correct my issue. Also I'm assuming that it took years for my body to get this way, so it might take just as long to fix itself. Now it's just habit for the most part and I don't think about it. But I didn't even know so many people were iodine deficient. Also a side note I just started with Blackstrap Molasses and the OMAD. I saw this on Dr. Berg other videos. And I fell freaking awesome and lost 20 pounds. But I'm writing too much. Just start off small. Do the Iodine and apple cider vinegar and see if you notice a difference. I really hope it works for you too. I'm not stressed about my hair anymore. I'm just glad it's not falling out anymore. (Last reminder) Don't be worried if you do see some hair fall out. It is normal anyway, and they say sometimes it falls out more before it stops. But don't loose heart. If you remember let me know if it worked for you.

I'm not really androgenic so it didnt affect my hair at all. My cortisol levels remain very low for some reason and I intermittent fast to keep insulin low. At 36 I have a full head of thick hair and no noticeable grey.

If you ever notice this comment, I hope you consider doing a video on folliculitis and/related to hair loss (folliculitis decalvans to be specific). Thank you

I had Graves Dx 25 years ago, was given radioactive iodine (I was stupid) and that killed my thyroid gland. What can I do now?

The doctors told me to take a potasiam supplement. But then, I relished that potasiam deficiency would not cause hair loss. Then I increased omaga 3and I found a big difference of my hair. But I got deep, deep sleep the next night because of high potasiam.

Will my hair grow back or balding reverse if my estrogen levels return to normal and stress is reduced?

[@daniby9894]

@Nick, not if you're born male. Estrogen is a female hormone, men aren't suppose to have any. You should pay more attenzione when he speaks about androgens.

[@Nicuju]

@@daniby9894 both male and female have oestrogen and testosterone. Oestrogen is supposed to lower in males while testosterone is lower in females. Testosterone can be aromatised to oestrogen. I am male and a several years ago my oestrogen levels were through the root, super high while my testosterone was normal but at the low end of the range.

collagen, biotin, keratin does make hair thicker and reduce breakage. thus contributing to more hair but I agree that we must first treat the cause first. just saying

Hey Doctor, I believe I have a thinning problem as my hair is thinning on the back of my head, the crown area. It's a little noticable but it has improved a bit over the year by reducing my meat intake and eliminating sugars. Would it be possible for someone , a doctor, to inspect my body for me and diagnose the problem?

[@dominicjelovac3978]

I have also lost around 60 pounds in a span of 8 months, maybe that also plays a factor ?

I was hoping to get new perspective, but instead it seems I' already on good road just need to stick to it in curing my gut, taking vitamins and de-stressing.

I started having hair loss at age 45 as I went through menopause. The only thing the "Specialist" told me was, 'male pattern balding" with zero advice about what to do. In fact, he told me how sick he was that day, ugh. Horrible. Thank God for Dr. Berg!!!!

[@Sameer-gc7eo]

That's what happened with me as well, the dermatologist never talked about much and never cleared so many of doubts in my 6 visits I just stopped everything 3 months ago and currently focusing on health, it's just that I still stress a lot

[@karibgold5394]

@@Sameer-gc7eo I have used minoxodil for several years now. I'm sure that's helped in regard to not losing more hair than I have. I also use nulastin and noticed slight hair regrowth!

I lost from a high carb, high protein diet. My muscle growth was unreal but my hair started to lose. I was under a lot of stress too, I had zero soy

[@H.C.Q.]

Totally agree with your handle statement. I eat a high carb/high protein diet too. Maybe that is another factor here. Thanks for the input.

Prostaglandin D2 (or PGD2) is a prostaglandin that is central to development of dermatologic inflammation, pattern hair loss, and allergic disorders, such as asthma. A newly released, 2012 study showed a cause and effect relationship between abnormally high levels of PGD2 and male pattern baldness
