Hello. I am 26 years old. My hairline has been receding for about 6 years at the left and right temple areas. I still have the middle section of my hair (I’m not sure of the best way to describe it). Anyway, when I closely inspect my scalp, the entire receded area is still covered with VERY small, fine, fuzz-like hair. At a quick glance it looks bald, but upon closer inspection the hair is still there.

My question is, do I have a good chance of growing the lost hair back? I don’t know how long it takes for a follicle to completely die, but I would imagine that if that had occurred, there would be no hair visible in the area at all, right?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi and thanks for your question.

If you examine any part of your skin (except your palms and the soles of your feet) closely enough you will see tiny, almost invisible, transparent hairs. These fine hairs are known as ‘vellus hairs’.

A hormone by-product called DHT causes the tiny vellus hairs on the arms, legs, faces and other areas to grow thicker and darker during puberty. The same DHT has the reverse effect on the hairs on the head, later in life.

In order to save these tiny vellus hairs from total extinction you need to reverse the miniaturization process by reactivating the vellus hair follicles. In cases where the hairs have become almost invisible, your hopes of reactivating them are slim, but it is possible – providing you work fast; which is why starting a good hair regrowth regime before your hair loss gets too bad is always advisable.

How do you reactivate these dormant hairs?

In order to bring these hairs back to life you need to follow four important stages:

1. Reduce DHT levels going to the scalp
2. Remove DHT already present in the scalp
3. Increase blood flow in the scalp
4. Increase nutrient supply to the hairs

DHT is what causes the hair follicle miniaturization in the first place (in most cases), so that’s the first thing to deal with. Then it’s a case of getting the blood and nutrient supply to above and beyond the levels required for a terminal hair (normal thick hair) to grow healthily. Once DHT is eliminated from the equation and nutrient and blood supply are charged up, the hairs can begin to regrow.

There are a few other tricks that can help. The scalp needs to be shocked back into ‘hair growing mode’. It may have been in ‘hair loss mode’ for a while, so it needs something to spark it back into life. This is a fairly simple process that can be completed from home.

During sex or masturbation testosterone levels increase and at the point of ejaculation, some testosterone is converted into DHT. If the DHT makes it to the scalp and the scalp is sensitive to DHT, the result could be increased hair loss.

What is the solution?

There are several ways of combating this problem. You can stop masturbating or having sex (at least to the point of ejaculation), you can inhibit DHT production using saw palmetto, prescription hair loss medication or with dietary changes, or ideally, you can stop the DHT from reaching your scalp by making your body’s hormonal processing system more efficient.

My personal approach is a mixture of the latter two options. I’m not a fan of the prescription medication approach and I feel that taking saw palmetto supplements everyday for the rest of your life is not a satisfactory solution to stopping hair loss, since it relies on continued use of a supplement.

I think that for the average person a saw palmetto supplement is an adequate short-term solution. However I would advise that if you want a more complete solution you should aim to solve the problem at it’s root, by improving the efficiency of your body’s hormonal processing capabilities.

Although these treatments are clearly tackling known causes of hair loss, none of the companies producing them seem to be answering the question, “why do these causes begin taking effect in some individuals in the first place?”. What is it that changes in some people’s bodies that makes them start to lose hair?

These are surely the most important questions. For if we can solve these problems we can truly cure hair loss, not just treat it.

Currently it seems that none of the hair loss treatments available on the market address the root causes of hair loss. Perhaps this is a way to sustain long-term profits in the multi-billion dollar industry or perhaps hair loss treatment manufacturers simply don’t yet have the understanding of human biology to properly cure the root cause(s) of hair loss.

Root cause analysis

In order to properly solve any problem you have to find the ‘root’ of it. If you do not solve a problem at it’s root you are likely to be only temporarily treating one of it’s symptoms.

For example, you might achieve mediocre success in staving off hair loss by using a DHT inhibitor supplement. But really what you should be doing is bringing DHT production down naturally from within your body.

The same goes for circulation. Weak circulation in the scalp is another cause of hair loss. But doing exercises like scalp massages that temporarily boost circulation in the scalp is only a short term, temporary treatment. It’s better to improve your circulation to the extremities by solving problems in your blood vessels, your blood and other parts of your body, thus naturally boosting blood flow to your scalp at all times, rather than just while you do the exercises.

Stop Hair Loss in Six Steps, Guaranteed

Getting to the root of hair loss is the underlying theme of my whole book. I explain the six most significant causes of hair loss: DHT, poor circulation in the scalp, blocked pores in the scalp, stress, poor nutrition and poor liver efficiency. And then I explain how to make each of these areas work to your advantage: low DHT levels, strong circulation, clear pores, relaxed mind, excellent diet for hair growth and strong liver.

By eliminating each of the underlying causes of hair loss you don’t need to use temporary fixes that inhibit DHT or boost circulation – because your body is now in the correct state for hair growth, from the inside and the outside.

What causes acne?

If you look at the causes of acne, you’ll see that they are very similar to the causes of hair loss:

• hormonal changes
• poor diet – too much of the wrong types of fat and sugar
• stress
• incorrect skin care
• inefficient liver

I’d like to highlight the first and last points in the list above. All of the causes listed above are in fact interlinked, effecting each other, but I’d like to explain the points about the liver and hormonal changes further.

The liver processes hormones, fats and toxins. If the liver lacks sufficient levels of ‘coenzyme A’ (a fat metabolizing coenzyme), the body recirculates fat in the blood, which may then be secreted through the skin via the sebaceous glands. This oil (which causes greasy skin and the shiny scalp effect common in balding men) is known as ‘sebum’ and is thought to be a major cause of acne. In fact the evidence is so strong, that in a study, simply increasing coenzyme A levels in the body was shown to have a massive positive impact on acne, simply because skin sebum levels were reduced.

So we can see how by making a change in the liver, we can effect the skins surface. Clearly the liver is an important factor in both acne.

But what has sebum got to do with hair loss?

Well, if we can effect skin sebum levels by giving the liver a helping hand, you can imagine what we can do for your hair, if you just apply some more logical science along the same vein. Sebum contains DHT. DHT is by far the most significant cause of hair loss. So if you suffer from elevated sebum levels, you need to give your liver a helping hand. It’s likely that it was your liver’s inefficiency that caused your acne when you were younger. And now the same thing is a causal factor in your hair loss.

The answer is to get your liver working at optimal levels, to increase coenzyme A levels and to remove any impacted sebum from your scalp to clear the pores, allowing new hairs to grow.

However there are several other factors that effect the liver. After all, why do some people’s liver’s become less efficient in the first place, while other peoples liver’s don’t? Stress, poor diet and hormonal imbalance can overstress your liver. By fixing these problems you can have a positive impact on your liver and your hair.

There’s another twist to the story

Stress can have a massive impact on your physical health. It can effect your hormonal balance and the health of your liver. So if you are badly effected by stress, it’s likely that anything you do to improve your liver, will be a waste of time, until you properly deal with the route cause of your problem – the stress itself. Acne, like hair loss, is often worsened and even caused by stress, but the stress is strongly interlinked with hormonal balance. Both feed back on each other. In order to properly cure the acne or the hair loss both problems must be dealt with in a comprehensive manner.

In this article I explain the top 5 causes of hair loss and how you can tell whether they apply to you.

DHT

DHT, or ‘dihydrotestosterone’ is a by-product of testosterone. It’s more common in men and is what causes male pattern baldness, or ‘androgenic alopecia’. It’s called androgenic alopecia because it’s hair loss related to the androgen hormones. You’re most likely to be suffering from hair loss caused by DHT if your hair line is receding, your crown is thinning or the hairs at the front or crown of your head are becoming thinner in diameter.

If you’re male and you have the signs described above it’s likely that your hair loss is caused primarily by DHT. DHT is the most common cause of hair loss.

DHT also causes increased body and facial hair. So if you have quite a lot of body hair and facial hair, as well as thinning hair on your scalp, you may have elevated DHT levels.

The answer to this problem is to inhibit DHT production and to remove DHT from the scalp. Keep reading to the end to learn how to do this.

Stress

Stress is a top cause of hair loss. But it’s not stressful situations that cause hair loss, it’s the way in which you deal with stress that decides whether it will effect your hair. If you are a calm, relaxed person who does not worry about stressful situations too much, it’s unlikely that stress is causing your hair loss.

Stress can sap nutrients from the body that are essential for hair growth. The hair suffers because the body’s resources are saved for more vital uses in the body. As a result the hair suffers as it is not essential. Stress can also effect hormonal levels, which can have a knock on effect on the liver and DHT levels.

If you have a calm and relaxed outlook on life and you are still losing your hair, it’s likely that DHT or another cause explained in this article is responsible for your hair loss. However, if you know that you worry easily or feel anxious easily, it’s quite likely that this is causing you to lose hair.

Fortunately it’s possible to remedy this by supplementing for the nutrient loss through stress and by using effective methods of making you relax and react calmly in stressfully situations. Keep reading to learn how to do this.

Poorly performing liver

The liver plays such an important part in your appearance and a poorly performing liver will almost certainly cause hair loss. There is a direct link between the efficiency of your liver and ‘sebum’ levels on your skin. Sebum is an oil secreted through the skins pores. It can have a negative effect on hair growth as it contains DHT and it can clog the pores in the scalp, preventing hair growth.

The liver processes fats and hormones among other things. If the liver has low levels of a certain essential ‘coenzyme’ called coenzyme A, sebum levels can increase to above normal levels. Coenzyme A breaks fat down. But if coenzyme A levels are low and/or the liver is working inefficiently, the body has no choice but to secrete fats in sebum through the skin.

As we age our livers operate less and less efficiently due to imperfect diets, alcohol consumption, medicine use (e.g. paracetamol), smoking and even just breathing polluted air. So if you can get your liver working more efficiently and increase coenzyme A levels you can have not only a positive impact on hair growth but also a total revitalization of your whole body – both in the way you feel and the way you look. I’ve developed a thorough and extremely effective method of achieving this. Keep reading to find out how I did it.

Poor circulation of blood in the scalp

Hair needs a supply of nutrients in order to grow. How do these nutrients get to the hair? They are carried to the hair shaft in the blood via blood vessels in the scalp. If the volume of blood pumping through the tiny blood vessels that connect to the hair papilas is reduced, so is the supply of raw materials that are used to build hair.

Reduced blood flow to the extremities is common with aging. Smoking, pollution, diet and other factors can cause reduced blood flow to the scalp. So it’s another reason why hair tends to get thinner as we age. What’s the answer? It’s simple; increase the flow of blood into the scalp. But how do you do that? There are several simple exercises you can do to increase blood flow to the scalp (and these do help), but ideally you want to improve blood flow to the extremities by solving the problem from the inside – properly. Fortunately this is another cause of hair loss that can be fixed. Again, keep reading to find out how.

Inadequate diet

Though I am a believer in eating healthily I’m not one of those people who is obsessed with only eating salad and never eating cake or pie. I eat my fair share of junk food in all honestly, but I don’t have a problem with weight and I exercise regularly.

I don’t think diet is the most important factor in hair growth – but it is a factor. The reason I say this is because if you observe tramps (yes, homeless people), you might notice (at least I have in my area) that they often have quite good thick hair (despite being dirty and greasy). Yet tramps have terrible diets and they tend to drink like fish.

However there are cases where I think diet can have an impact on hair. These are:

• If you ever experience crash dieting;
• you do a great deal of exercise;
• you lead a very stressful life; and/or
• you don’t get enough sleep.

So, if any of the above apply to you, diet may be a factor in your hair loss. I’ve been through all of the scenarios listed above, in normal life and through my ethnographic experimentation; and I can report that in my experience they have all had a major impact on my hair in the past.

I experimented with bowl cleansing a detoxing diets that involved fasting and I noticed hair loss after fasting because I did it wrong. Fortunately this sort of hair loss is reversible and doesn’t take long to reverse. It’s also possible to complete detox programmes and weight loss programmes safely without effecting your hair, providing you understand and follow some important principles.

Getting enough sleep and reducing stress in my life were difficult hurdles to overcome because I’m so busy and I went through a long period of experiencing social anxiety in my life a few years back (which is fairly common in young men). Fortunately I found a remarkably effective way of changing my mind set using an audio programme I developed for the book. I cured my social anxiety because I knew I had to in order to stop my hair loss. This was an important step for me.

So you can see that by dealing with stress in your life and following some simple guidelines around dieting and eating, you can solve the diet related hair loss problem without having to alter your diet greatly – if tramps can have good hair without living on a diet of organic salad and steamed vegetables, so can you!

That said it’s worth making sure you get some important nutrients in your diet. I use several ‘superfoods’ that make it easy to get an abundance of nutrients in my diet without the hassle of very strict dietary guidelines.

When you combine the abundance of nutrients with the increased blood flow to the scalp, efficient liver, clear DHT free scalp and low stress levels, you can see how it’s very possible to get your hair not only maintained but growing back fast.

In conclusion

If you’ve read this article from start to finish, you’ll see that despite the daunting task stopping hair loss seems to be, it is very possible. It’s simply a case of reversing each of the causes, so that they work in your favour. Let’s take an example:

1. Hair loss cause: You have weakened circulation to the scalp
2. Solution: Fix the problem so your circulation is strong again
3. Regrow hair: Boost circulation to the scalp to higher than normal healthy levels to supply the hair with even more nutrients than a normal healthy scalp gets.

Now, you’re not only stopping hair loss by eliminating a root cause, you’re using it to grow new hair.

You can do the same with each of the causes. By not only reducing stress levels, but making yourself even more relaxed and calm than most people (using my audio programme), you turn stress from a cause of hair loss, to (lack of stress as) a cause of hair growth.

If you want to find out:

• how I remove DHT from my scalp;
• how I inhibit DHT production in my body;
• how I turbo charge circulation to my scalp;
• how I conquer stressful situations, reacting calmly when other people stress out; and
• what foods I use to feed my hair with everything it needs,

A note about edition 2

I’m currently in the process of planning edition 2, which will only be available in digital format. It’s going to include video tutorials, new audio files, more tables and check lists, as in the first edition, and will hopefully be a little more concise, for rapid digestion. Stay tuned for more information.

Years ago I noticed my hair line was receding but I didn’t examine the hairs very closely. I bought a product called Fabao 101d and rubbed the topical solution into my scalp twice a day. Some time later when I examined my scalp, where the hair line had receded I noticed many smaller, thinner, lighter coloured hairs along the hair line seemed to have grown. I was quite pleased and thought that Fabao had done the trick.

I was wrong!

It was some months later that I realized my initial analysis was incorrect. The smaller, thinner, lighter coloured hairs were not new hairs. In fact they were older hairs that were growing back thinner and wispier than the hairs they had replaced. The hairs at the front of my scalp were slowly dying causing my hair line to recede further.

This was obviously a bad thing but it did give me something. It gave me a good understanding of how my hair loss was progressing. Having studied hair loss for several years I used my knowledge to properly diagnose the hair loss. I was experiencing ‘hair follicle miniaturization’ in the classic male pattern baldness shape, caused, most likely by DHT in the scalp.

DHT in my scalp was causing my body to treat the hairs along my hair line to be treated like ‘foreign bodies’ by my scalp. Effectively my scalp was slowly rejecting these hairs instead of feeding them and eventually, they would completely die.

Having diagnosed the cause of my hair loss I was able to create an effective strategy to reverse it. Unfortunately frontal hair loss cannot be treated by Minoxidil and many other hair loss treatments are ineffective against frontal hair loss.

How to reactivate hairs that are going dormant or have become dormant

There are three things you need to do to reactivate dormant hairs and to stop the scalp from treating hairs as foreign bodies. You need to

1. remove DHT from the scalp;
2. reduce DHT production in the body to healthy levels; and
3. feed the weakened and dormant hairs so they reactivate and eventually become terminal again.

This is actually very easy and I have developed an extremely effective method for doing this. The method has three phases. First of all you remove the DHT and unblock any blocked pores in the scalp. Then you feed the hairs directly using an inexpensive topical solution that penetrates the epidermis of the scalp to feed dormant and weakened hairs via the hair shafts. You alternate between these two phases causing the scalp to concentrate on removal of DHT, dead skin cells, sebum, embedded cosmetic products and pollutants, followed by feeding the scalp with nutrients that inhibit DHT and feed hairs.

While doing this you will be following several simple procedures that increase blood flow the surface of the scalp, filling the blood vessels that feed the hair with blood. At the same time you follow my special hair growth diet that feeds the hair from the inside. Nutrients are sent to the hair via the blood so the increased nutrient intake coupled with increased blood flow to the weakened and dormant hair follicles provides the hair with an abundance of food for growth.

This alternating action of stripping out everything (including DHT, dead skin and sebum) from the scalp, followed by intense feeding and increased blood flow has an incredible effect on hair growth.

These first two alternating phases, coupled with the hair growth diet and increased blood flow to the scalp are important first steps. But you also need phase three: reducing DHT production in the body.

To learn how to do this download my hair loss ebook today and start following my step by step instructions tonight. Prepare to be very excited about growing new hair over the next few months.

The silly thing is, it’s easy to get all the nutrients your hair needs, while also following a weight loss program. Keep reading to find out how.

Areas of dieting you should avoid to prevent hair loss

Crash dieting

Crash dieting is the worst thing you can do for your hair. If you’re going to diet for weight loss reasons, steadily transition from your current diet to your new weight loss diet. If you suddenly make a massive change to your diet and then just as suddenly change again (and so forth), you could have a negative impact on your hair growth. However the effects on your hair might not show for months after you have changed your diet, because the dieting is more likely to slow your hair growth and even turn some hairs dormant – so only once the hairs have naturally shed will you notice your hair looking thinner.

Dieting is only likely to cause immediate hair loss as a result of stress caused by an extreme dietary transition.

Diets that don’t include a full range of nutrients

If you follow a silly fad diet like ‘the apple diet’ or other diets that advise you to eat only a few different foods you may become deficient in vital nutrients required for hair growth. Nutrient deficiency is fairly rare in the West, where food is readily available, but if you follow an extreme diet and you experience increased stress as a result, you might become deficient in some key nutrients.

Diets that include too much of one nutrient

Be careful about eating too much of one thing. For example Brazil nuts are sometimes cited as beneficial for the hair because they contain a mineral called ‘selenium’. Selenium can inhibit DHT, which will help prevent hair loss. However eating too many Brazil nuts could result in a selenium overdose, which in turn may cause a condition called ‘selenosis’ (cite). One of the symptoms of selenosis is hair loss.

Some key factors to consider when dieting

Don’t do anything extreme. Avoid extreme changes in your diet. Don’t take a variety of supplements in the hope you’re getting lots of great nutrients for your hair – different vitamins, minerals and fats interact with each other. You might be taking one supplement that contains a mineral that binds with a vitamin in another supplement you’re taking, making it indigestible. Try to keep supplements down to as few as possible unless you know what you’re doing – otherwise you’re chucking lots of different pills down your throat that could be doing more harm than good.

How to safely diet for weight loss while keeping your hair healthy

Providing you don’t stress your system by crash dieting and you consume a good range of nutrients in good proportions you can easily follow a weight loss diet without harming your hair. Follow these tips to keep your hair healthy while dieting:

Reduce portion sizes while maintaining a good balance

If you’re trying to reduce your calorie intake, eat at the same times and the same foods you would usually eat but just reduce the portion sizes. Don’t cut out carbohydrates for the sake of reducing calories. You need complex carbohydrates for energy. If you reduce the fuel you’ll reduce your energy, which might make you need to snack, which will not help your weight loss attempts. If you reduce your fuel intake and avoid snacks, the increased stress might have an adverse effect on your hair. The answer is to reduce your portion sizes while maintaining a good balance of carbohydrates, fats, fiber and protein.

Exercise

Exercise is possibly the most important factor in weight loss. If you can increase the amount of exercise you’re doing while maintaining your current food consumption levels you will achieve weight loss without needing to change your diet. Exercise also benefits stress levels and circulation.

Don’t miss meals

Eating regularly is important. By missing meals you’re telling your body that food is scarce so it needs to store fat reserves – as a result you won’t lose weight; you could even put weight on. It’s better to eat smaller meals, more regularly, if you find you get hungry regularly. Cut down on sugars and simple carbohydrates that spike your blood sugar levels. Choose complex carbohydrates like oatmeal and sweet potatoes that will provide slow release energy.

Cleanse your digestive system

By avoiding meats and fats in the morning and eating foods that are high in fiber you give your digestive system a break allowing it to cleanse. Try to keep meat eating down to a minimum while dieting. Try to only eat meat every other day or even just once or twice a week. Avoid beef and pork. Go for chicken and turkey. Don’t eat for two hours before you go to bed to let your body wind down. Never eat before bed because your body cleanses at night. Eating prevents cleansing and food eaten before bed will be stored as fat.

Use a hair loss supplement

Although I don’t generally advise the use of hair loss supplements (as I don’t feel they’re necessary – if you follow the instructions in my hair loss eBook you won’t need to take any hair supplements), if you worry that your hair isn’t getting the nutrients it needs, a supplement can put your mind at rest. Take a look at my hair loss treatments page for advice on different supplementation for men and women.

Get the best advice on food for hair growth

If you want to know what foods you should eat to maximize nutrients required for hair growth download my eBook today. I dedicate a chapter to showing you how to eat for hair growth. I give you easy to follow tips that don’t require eating disgusting foods or following extreme dietary practices. I lay down all the best foods that provide maximum nutrients for hair growth in simple to follow tables, charts and lists. I also show you how to cleanse your digestive system and increase the flow of nutrients to the scalp by increasing blood flow to the scalp. In the food chapter I also show you how you can use food to normalize your hormone levels and inhibit DHT levels.

In fact it’s important that you keep your scalp clean if you want to do everything you can to prevent hair loss caused by DHT. DHT is present in an oil called sebum, which is secreted through the pores in the scalp. There is often a correlation between increased sebum on the scalp and hair loss. In fact the two are related in many (but not all) hair loss cases.

It’s important for the health of your hair that you keep your scalp as free of sebum as you can. Sebum contains DHT, which attacks hair follicles as though the hairs were foreign bodies.

If sebum isn’t cleaned from the scalp daily it can build up and combine with dead skin cells and other pollutants (such as dust, air pollution and hair gel). If this build up continues (which it easily can and often does) the sebum can harden and embed into the scalp, clogging the scalps’ pores – this is what causes the shiny scalp effect, common among hair loss sufferers.

Washing your hair might not be enough

Unfortunately, if sebum and other materials are allowed to build up and embed into the scalp, shampooing is not likely to be enough to properly clean the scalp of the shiny hardened layer.

It is very important that this layer of sebum based ‘plaque’ (for want of a better word) is removed from the scalp in order to clear the pores, remove DHT and allow new hairs to emerge freely. Unfortunately this isn’t easy. But it’s a crucial first step to stopping hair loss and regrowing hair. That’s why it’s the first step in my eBook.

To find out how to remove this hardened layer of sebum based plaque from your scalp, download my hair loss eBook today. If you don’t remove the plaque from your scalp, forget about stopping your hair loss.

Testosterone is a male hormone but it is also present (in lesser amounts) in women. Generally speaking the more testosterone in the body, the more extreme the male characteristics will be. If you look at a bull and a cow, the bull is far more muscular and far more aggressive. Both bulls and cows have the same diet. The difference is the bull has far higher testosterone levels.

DHT: a by-product of testosterone

It’s clear that men tend to experience hair loss more so than women. That is because men tend to have more testosterone in their body’s. DHT is a by-product of testosterone. In general, as we age, more DHT is produced from testosterone. DHT seems to cause hair loss and also body hair growth.

Some people’s hair is more susceptible to the effects of DHT than others. Some people’s body’s tend to produce more testosterone than others. Some people will experience more of an elevation in testosterone as a result of starting a weight lifting/body building routine, while others will not experience much of a change. And some people seem to produce more DHT from testosterone than others.

So in answer to your question:

Yes, weight lifting or body building may cause an increased rate in hair loss, IF you are one of the people who is both susceptible to the negative effects of DHT and your weight lifting/body building routine results in an increase in testosterone levels.

From what I know about body building, most people who work-out hard will experience an increase in testosterone but not a massive one. In fact there are many things that cause elevated testosterone levels.

For example, a study discovered that men whose football team won a match had more elevated testosterone levels after the game than the supporters of the losing team. This study shows that the mind is a key controller of hormonal balance and this is one of the key parts of my hair loss eBook.

It shows that it is possible to control your hormonal balance if you are able to take greater control of your mind and your feelings.

In conclusion

It’s my opinion that you don’t need to worry about the effects of body building on your hair, unless you are taking supplements that are designed to increase your testosterone levels. I don’t even need to say that you shouldn’t be taking steroids if you want to be healthy.

If you’re taking steroids and you are one of the millions of people whose scalp is sensitive to DHT you will probably notice an increase in hair loss. Just don’t take them.

However if you’re not taking steroids and you’re working out pretty hard you should be OK, providing you’re following the instructions in my eBook – and so keeping your mind in the right place, keeping your body working at super efficient levels and keeping your scalp clear and free of DHT.

I work out as often as possible – about three times a week and I hit the weights quite hard. I’ve got a pretty muscular body – in fact I’m in great shape – low fat levels, good muscle tone. But I’m highly aware that with exercising and weight lifting you can do things the same way as everyone else or you can use your intelligence to get ahead of the game. And I’m fortunate enough to know about nutrition and how to gain the most benefits from food.

I hope this helps. Thanks for your question.
