Hair Loss, Regrowth and Propecia
by: Mark Brassia
Four years ago I would go out to a night club and wear one of my favorite shirts and nicely pressed slacks and I would be told that I looked forty years old. It was very hard to take as I had just turned 36. I would go on to hear this kind of talk a lot around this time.
I moved to a new area and when I would go out, I would always get funny looks and reactions. I've always been an independent person so I didn't mind going out to a local establishment alone but I was always friendly and had some kind of magnetism that seemed to always attract people.
Now don't get me wrong. I'm just an average looking guy. I am tall and have always stayed in good shape and have always had a friendly and good sense of humor. Because I'm a bigger guy, people seem to make friends with me as I may make them feel comfortable. This is how it had always been since I was twenty years old. However, it wasn't happening anymore. Inside I was still the same sarcastic, humorous and friendly person but on the outside I must have appeared to look like a loner or a psycho-serial killer.
I have never went out of my way to make new friends. However, occasionally when you would just come across people I was getting negative reactions. I knew that there was nothing at all different about me except for one thing. I was still big and had a good body, I was still tan, I still had nice, clean white teeth. I still wore brand new expensive shirts. The only thing that had changed was my hair. It was thinning and looked miniaturized and it was very apparent.
I knew that this was my only draw back but I really didn't know what to do about it. I always made a good living and the thought of hair transplants was totally out of the question. I thought about just shaving it as it seemed "that look" was becoming more common. But I could just never come to do it as I always had this thought in my mind that there was a solution.
I bought a bottle of Propecia and for some reason I kept it in my medicine cabinet for about 6 months. I think that I was scared to take it. Everything that I had read seemed to imply that there were too many side effects. At the time, I hadn't began to do any real research.
So I just hung in there and decided to start scouring the internet and do as much research as possible. I went to the discussion forums and I started to listen to a radio talk show about hair loss. The more that I researched, I started to realize that I must take the Propecia right away or my hair is going to start looking worse.
Even though I was still a little nervous I finally made a decision and I just went for it. I went to a Dermatologist and requested a prescription and he agreed that my hair was miniaturized and he felt that I would be a perfect candidate for Propecia. I had read in these forums that others were experimenting with this "big three" regimen and when I decided to get the prescription for the propecia, I would also start on the other two products as well. My plan was to give myself one full year of taking the three products and I would pray that the routine would work. After ninety days I was starting to see progress. As each month went by I would tell myself that I'm at 15% and now I'm at 20% and so on. Now that I look back, I see that I was being way too conservative. When I thought that I was at 50% of the way there and on the road to recovery, I was probably really only at 20%. I still had another 80% of improvement to go. As some people would say, I hadn't even "scratched the surface"
After almost three years of this regimen I must say that I am very happy and that my results are definitely better then expected. I was a guy who had obvious hair loss to anybody that knew me or not. Now I'm a guy that still has a little frontal recession and still a little thinning in the crown and for the most part has a significant amount of hair.
I went out to a local establishment recently and a 27 year old guy talked to me for about an hour and he told me that he was 27 and that I'm "what 32,33?" I said try 39. He said "really, wow you actually look about 32 and you seem like a 32 year old" Of course the first thing that comes to your mind is that he was just trying to be nice and just complementing me. But I really believe that he was sincere as I have been getting a lot of this kind of treatment for the past year.
I can go out now and I have that magnetism again where people want to know me or talk to me instead of looking at me like I'm some crazy man. I still wear the nice shirts, I still work out and my body still looks as good as it did when I was 36, my teeth are still nice and white and I still look tan. The only thing that is different is my hair. It doesn't look thin and miniaturized anymore. It looks like a normal full head of hair.
I truly believe that the way your hair looks tells a lot about a person's age. The hair is the frame for your face and I must say I know that my hair looks 10 times better today then it did back when I was 36. You would think that since I have androgenic alopecia that my hair would look thinner and worse each year.
Actually the reverse has happened for me and time is actually on my side instead of against me because I have reversed the progression of my hair loss. Instead of having a higher level of DHT in my scalp miniaturizing my existing hair follicles, I take finasteride, better known as Propecia. Finasteride has been proven to block Type II 5 alpha reductace, the enzhyme that converts testosterone to DHT.
Although Propecia is the main player of The Big Three, there are still two other products that I feel must be taken. The three products taken together seem to work in a synergistic manner. Propecia does its thing, minoxidil has its role and nizoral also plays a key part. However, one plus one plus one equals four as far as the overall effect of the treatments. Nizoral makes Minoxidil more effective and Mixoxidil works better when taking propecia.
I have been taking the Big Three now for almost three years and I must say the regimen has really changed my life.

Is Hair Loss Preventable?
by: Roberto Sedyias
If your Dad is bald, there's a pretty good chance you will be too. Many accept this as just a fact of life, but some don't. For decades now, men have tried to find a cure for hair loss, or baldness. In some cases it is pure vanity but for some, premature hair loss makes them look years older than they are and they try to hang onto their thatch for as long as possible. They aren't alone in this search, hereditary baldness also affects women. This was a very touchy subject at one time, and women resorted to wigs and hair pieces to hide their thinning locks, but nowadays is much more accepted and recognized.
Looking at other member of your family can often determine the age and the pattern with which you will suffer hair loss. This genetic pattern in passed down and the chances of you bucking the trend are remote. The male pattern usually starts with a receding hairline, followed by a small bald patch on the crown. In complete baldness these will eventually join up and the head will be totally devoid of hair. Some only suffer the receding and general thinning, still keeping a reasonable amount of hair. If there is only a small amount of hair remaining, many men choose to shave their heads as this looks better than a few tufts and a bald patch. Women's hair tends to thin all over, and the scalp may become visible. There are many products on the market that claim to stop hair loss in it's tracks, and make amazing claims. The sad fact is many of these are complete scams and a big waste of time and money. There are now prescription medications available, but many will see little or no results.
Non hereditary hair loss is a whole different ball game. If you start losing your hair there is a reason for it. Far and away the most common reason for this time of hair loss is Alopecia. There are many theories for why you should suddenly have small, ball patches that are tender to the touch. It can be hereditary, it could be caused by stress or lifestyle, but there is still no scientific proof as to the actual cause. It is widely thought to be a malfunction in the autoimmune system, so the body attacks its own hair follicles resulting in hair growth being stunted or stopped altogether. Thankfully there are now a wide range of creams and applications which can stop the Alopecia progressing. Your doctor will advise you on the one(s) that are best for you, and often a combination of medications will be prescribed.
Lifestyle can play a major part in the health of our hair. Many few people now walk around with a natural shine to their hair, this could be due to smoking, alcohol consumption, poor diet or something as seemingly innocent as hair products. Perming, dying, hair spray, gels, mousses, styling aids and extensions can all severely damage our hair in the long run. It is no coincidence that in every drug store there is an array of supplements purely for hair and nails. These are the two areas that first show signs of an unhealthy lifestyle.
Make the most of your crowning glory, no one really knows how long they will have it for, so it makes a lot of sense to take care of our hair while it is at its best.

Going Natural With Hair Loss Remedies
by: Eric V. Allen
Since the introduction of Rogaine in the early 1980's, androgenic mediated hair loss, or 'male pattern baldness' has been considered a treatable condition through the use of pharmaceutical preparations. The perception that over-the-counter and prescription drugs are the only means to successfully treat this type of hair loss is perpetuated by the lack of well-funded and publicized studies on the efficacy of natural treatments. However, as the understanding of the biological mechanism of male pattern baldness has become clear through a great body of research, the reality of an effective natural treatment regimen is at hand. After a review of the available natural products, some suggestions will be made for creating your own regimen for treating hair loss naturally.
The overall cause of male pattern baldness is now well-known: this type of hair loss seen in about a third of the male population is mediated by the androgenic metabolite of testosterone known as dihydrotestosterone or DHT. The production of this now-infamous hormone increases later in life for many men, along with changes with the receptors for this hormone at the hair follicles.
In general, the pertinent hair follicles shrink with continued exposure to the androgenic hormone, some forming only small, villus hairs, while others eventually die completely. Some sources claim these follicles are still getting an adequate blood supply, while others note a waxy buildup or scar-like tissue surrounding the follicles, preventing adequate nutrient delivery. Thus, the localized cause of hair loss, at the follicle level, is still being researched. This does not mean there has been success in discovery of natural hair loss remedies!
Whether using a pharmaceutical, natural, or combination regimen to re-grow hair, genetically-related hair loss should be addressed on two fronts: reducing the production and effects of DHT, and stimulating the hair follicles themselves back into action.
Prescription drugs such as Finasteride and Dutasteride are available which lower blood levels of DHT, and have been used to improve hair loss conditions. There are now several well-known natural, plant-based products which either reduce testosterone's conversion to DHT (via the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme system), block the binding of DHT to receptor sites, or both. Most common, and most important are Saw Palmetto Berry extract and Stinging Nettle Root extract. These to herbs work in combination to both block the conversion of testosterone to DHT and prevent it's binding to receptor sites in the scalp. Other herbs employed with similar functions include pygeum africanum and pumpkin seed oil, both used to bring into balance the testosterone/DHT ratio; lastly, the plant sterol Beta-Sitosterol is often used successfully to treat prostate enlargement, which has similar causes to male pattern baldness - whether it will support hair growth is not yet known, but it likely won't hurt!. Finally, getting an adequate supply of Zinc is also important in maintaining this hormonal balance. The entire androgen hormone regulation system is fairly complex; just remember these items: Saw Palmetto, Nettle Root (not leaf!), Pygeum, Zinc, and Beta-Sitosterol. By the way, if using a prostate formula for these nutrients, they should be taken in gel cap form - they are better absorbed this way than in plain powder, and hence more effective.
In addition to these herbs, which are also commonly used around the world for blocking the creation and effects of DHT, Procyanidins, or Polyphenols, have been shown to inhibit DHT systemically, AND can stimulate hair growth when applied topically. These anti-oxidant compounds first became renown with the discovery of the amazing action of grape seed extract and it's powerful ability as a free-radical scavenger. More recently, Japanese researchers went through the effort of testing HUNDREDS of compounds in the laboratory for their effect on the stimulation of hair growth, and they found the compounds of grape seed extract grew hair at a greater rate than the pharmaceutical preparation Minixodil. With further testing, using variations of the polyphenols, they discovered those found in apple skin polyphenols to be even more effective, nearly twice effective as Rogaine. Further, with the addition of Forskolin, another herbal extract, the effect was even greater. Exciting news! The interesting thing is that these compounds actually stimulated the hair follicles to become active, whereas it seems Rogaine works by lowering blood pressure in the scalp, thereby increasing blood flow to the follicles. And these compounds did not produce an initial 'shedding' as Rogaine has been known to do.
In addition to the polyphenols, certain essential oils alone and in combination can be effective at hair growth stimulation. In a Scottish study on alopecia areata patients, a blend of Lavender, Thyme, Cedarwood and Rosemary oils based in Jojoba and Grapeseed was found to significantly enhance the regrowth of hair compared to an application of just the base oils alone. Many essential oils, including lavender and rosemary, contain 'ketones', molecules that have been found to cause the skin to regenerate. Further, these oils could be enhanced with the addition of Rosehip Seed oil, which contains compounds similar to Retin-A, a pharmaceutical which has been used in combination with Rogaine for faster effects.
Given all this wonderful information, how does one combine them into an effective regimen? The best thing to do is keep it simple - the more simple it is, the more likely it is you'll stay with it for the several months it will take to see significant effects. So, for the systemic DHT suppression and inhibition, look at formulas either designed specifically for hair, or those for the support of the Prostate gland - they will contain almost the exact same ingredients. Look for a high-quality supplement, with standardized Saw Palmetto extract, Nettle Root extract, and Pygeum extract. Do not take the un-extracted herbs, they will not likely be strong enough in doses you are willing to consume. Saw Palmetto can be consumed in doses between 160 and 320mg daily, Nettle Root a bit more, and Pygeum significantly less. They should be in a gel cap, preferably in Pumpkin seed oil. Take a separate Beta Sitosterol supplement, around 400mg daily, if it is not included already. This is typically found in dry capsules, and there have not been reports of the importance of consuming this in an oil-based capsule, though you can take it with fatty food if you want to be sure (this may help the absorption). Add an oral supplement of Green Tea extract, Grape Seed extract, or Apple Polyphenol extract if you like, along with a good multivitamin.
For the topical application, one can find natural hair care products on the internet using apple polyphenols, or you can make your own for less cost. Apple polyphenols are just now becoming available in bulk and in capsules. You can create your own topical blend by mixing these into water or an alcohol/water solution at 1-3% by weight (1 ounce of water weighs about 30 grams, so 1 gram of apple polyphenols in one ounce of water will produce about a 3% solution - more is not better here, as there was a drop-off in effectiveness with higher concentrations in the laboratory). An herbal extract of Forskolin can also be added to enhance the effects. Finally, this can all be made in Nettle Root tea as the base, adding a DHT inhibitor to the blend. Try applying 2 - 3 times daily.
For the essential oils, the recipe used in the scientific study was as follows: 3 drops of essential oil of thyme, 3 drops of essential oil of lavender, 3 drops of essential oil of rosemary 3 drops of essential oil of cedarwood based in 1/8 cup of grapeseed oil and 1/8 cup of jojoba oil. Apply during the day some time, massaging into the scalp, and leaving in for 20 minutes to an hour, then wash out, or apply before going to bed. This will give enough time for the oils to penetrate the skin and have their effect. If you wish to further enhance this blend, you may squeeze some of the gel caps of Saw Palmetto et. al. into the oil, which can reduce the effects of DHT topically, in addition to the systemic effect of the oral supplements.
So there it is, the roundup of the more well-known and tested natural remedies for male pattern baldness. While Rogaine for growth stimulation, and Finasteride or Dutasteride for DHT inhibition are completely reasonable ways to go, their costs are high and the effects of their long term use are not well known. And then there are some folks that would prefer to stay away from chemically manufactured medicines altogether - hopefully this bit of information will help. There is much more research available on the internet, though hopefully this is enough information to get you confidently started.

Since the introduction of Rogaine in the early 1980's, androgenic mediated hair loss, or 'male pattern baldness' has been considered a treatable condition through the use of pharmaceutical preparations. The perception that over-the-counter and prescription drugs are the only means to successfully treat this type of hair loss is perpetuated by the lack of well-funded and publicized studies on the efficacy of natural treatments. However, as the understanding of the biological mechanism of male pattern baldness has become clear through a great body of research, the reality of an effective natural treatment regimen is at hand. After a review of the available natural products, some suggestions will be made for creating your own regimen for treating hair loss naturally.
The overall cause of male pattern baldness is now well-known: this type of hair loss seen in about a third of the male population is mediated by the androgenic metabolite of testosterone known as dihydrotestosterone or DHT. The production of this now-infamous hormone increases later in life for many men, along with changes with the receptors for this hormone at the hair follicles.
In general, the pertinent hair follicles shrink with continued exposure to the androgenic hormone, some forming only small, villus hairs, while others eventually die completely. Some sources claim these follicles are still getting an adequate blood supply, while others note a waxy buildup or scar-like tissue surrounding the follicles, preventing adequate nutrient delivery. Thus, the localized cause of hair loss, at the follicle level, is still being researched. This does not mean there has been success in discovery of natural hair loss remedies!
Whether using a pharmaceutical, natural, or combination regimen to re-grow hair, genetically-related hair loss should be addressed on two fronts: reducing the production and effects of DHT, and stimulating the hair follicles themselves back into action.
Prescription drugs such as Finasteride and Dutasteride are available which lower blood levels of DHT, and have been used to improve hair loss conditions. There are now several well-known natural, plant-based products which either reduce testosterone's conversion to DHT (via the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme system), block the binding of DHT to receptor sites, or both. Most common, and most important are Saw Palmetto Berry extract and Stinging Nettle Root extract. These to herbs work in combination to both block the conversion of testosterone to DHT and prevent it's binding to receptor sites in the scalp. Other herbs employed with similar functions include pygeum africanum and pumpkin seed oil, both used to bring into balance the testosterone/DHT ratio; lastly, the plant sterol Beta-Sitosterol is often used successfully to treat prostate enlargement, which has similar causes to male pattern baldness - whether it will support hair growth is not yet known, but it likely won't hurt!. Finally, getting an adequate supply of Zinc is also important in maintaining this hormonal balance. The entire androgen hormone regulation system is fairly complex; just remember these items: Saw Palmetto, Nettle Root (not leaf!), Pygeum, Zinc, and Beta-Sitosterol. By the way, if using a prostate formula for these nutrients, they should be taken in gel cap form - they are better absorbed this way than in plain powder, and hence more effective.
In addition to these herbs, which are also commonly used around the world for blocking the creation and effects of DHT, Procyanidins, or Polyphenols, have been shown to inhibit DHT systemically, AND can stimulate hair growth when applied topically. These anti-oxidant compounds first became renown with the discovery of the amazing action of grape seed extract and it's powerful ability as a free-radical scavenger. More recently, Japanese researchers went through the effort of testing HUNDREDS of compounds in the laboratory for their effect on the stimulation of hair growth, and they found the compounds of grape seed extract grew hair at a greater rate than the pharmaceutical preparation Minixodil. With further testing, using variations of the polyphenols, they discovered those found in apple skin polyphenols to be even more effective, nearly twice effective as Rogaine. Further, with the addition of Forskolin, another herbal extract, the effect was even greater. Exciting news! The interesting thing is that these compounds actually stimulated the hair follicles to become active, whereas it seems Rogaine works by lowering blood pressure in the scalp, thereby increasing blood flow to the follicles. And these compounds did not produce an initial 'shedding' as Rogaine has been known to do.
In addition to the polyphenols, certain essential oils alone and in combination can be effective at hair growth stimulation. In a Scottish study on alopecia areata patients, a blend of Lavender, Thyme, Cedarwood and Rosemary oils based in Jojoba and Grapeseed was found to significantly enhance the regrowth of hair compared to an application of just the base oils alone. Many essential oils, including lavender and rosemary, contain 'ketones', molecules that have been found to cause the skin to regenerate. Further, these oils could be enhanced with the addition of Rosehip Seed oil, which contains compounds similar to Retin-A, a pharmaceutical which has been used in combination with Rogaine for faster effects.
Given all this wonderful information, how does one combine them into an effective regimen? The best thing to do is keep it simple - the more simple it is, the more likely it is you'll stay with it for the several months it will take to see significant effects. So, for the systemic DHT suppression and inhibition, look at formulas either designed specifically for hair, or those for the support of the Prostate gland - they will contain almost the exact same ingredients. Look for a high-quality supplement, with standardized Saw Palmetto extract, Nettle Root extract, and Pygeum extract. Do not take the un-extracted herbs, they will not likely be strong enough in doses you are willing to consume. Saw Palmetto can be consumed in doses between 160 and 320mg daily, Nettle Root a bit more, and Pygeum significantly less. They should be in a gel cap, preferably in Pumpkin seed oil. Take a separate Beta Sitosterol supplement, around 400mg daily, if it is not included already. This is typically found in dry capsules, and there have not been reports of the importance of consuming this in an oil-based capsule, though you can take it with fatty food if you want to be sure (this may help the absorption). Add an oral supplement of Green Tea extract, Grape Seed extract, or Apple Polyphenol extract if you like, along with a good multivitamin.
For the topical application, one can find natural hair care products on the internet using apple polyphenols, or you can make your own for less cost. Apple polyphenols are just now becoming available in bulk and in capsules. You can create your own topical blend by mixing these into water or an alcohol/water solution at 1-3% by weight (1 ounce of water weighs about 30 grams, so 1 gram of apple polyphenols in one ounce of water will produce about a 3% solution - more is not better here, as there was a drop-off in effectiveness with higher concentrations in the laboratory). An herbal extract of Forskolin can also be added to enhance the effects. Finally, this can all be made in Nettle Root tea as the base, adding a DHT inhibitor to the blend. Try applying 2 - 3 times daily.
For the essential oils, the recipe used in the scientific study was as follows: 3 drops of essential oil of thyme, 3 drops of essential oil of lavender, 3 drops of essential oil of rosemary 3 drops of essential oil of cedarwood based in 1/8 cup of grapeseed oil and 1/8 cup of jojoba oil. Apply during the day some time, massaging into the scalp, and leaving in for 20 minutes to an hour, then wash out, or apply before going to bed. This will give enough time for the oils to penetrate the skin and have their effect. If you wish to further enhance this blend, you may squeeze some of the gel caps of Saw Palmetto et. al. into the oil, which can reduce the effects of DHT topically, in addition to the systemic effect of the oral supplements.
So there it is, the roundup of the more well-known and tested natural remedies for male pattern baldness.

Coping With Hair Loss
by: Kadence Buchanan
Hair loss is a problem that affects a large number of males and also a number of females. It can be a devastating problem to cope with which can have some very negiative effects on your self esteem. With that in mind, we'll discuss some hair loss solutions in this article to help you with your problem.
One of the most commonly employed methods of keeping hair loss to a minimum is the use of prescription drugs. Two of the most commonly prescribed drugs, and consequently, the only two that have been approved by the FDA to deal with hair loss are Rogaine and Propecia. Rogaine is a topical treatment that you apply to the scalp, aiding the growth of hair and helping to slow hair loss. Propecia is a pill that is designed to help keep your hair count high as well; often, doctors recommend that both products be employed for the most efficient hair loss prevention solution.
Another option for coping with hair loss is hair restoration surgery. In this practice, surgeons remove strips of hair from the back and the sides of the head and place them on the top of the head, allowing for permanent growing hair in your affected area. Surgery can be quite expensive but the results are long-lasting and very natural looking. It's your own hair - it grows just as it would if it was still on the back of your head. For those who don't have the finances to get hair replacement surgery, nonsurgical replacement options are often considered. There are many types of wigs and toupees available which can accent your natural look for a short-term solution to hiding your hair loss problem.
It's important to note that one shouldn't get overly optimistic about any types of hair loss cures advertised on the internet or elsewhere; only two solutions, Rogaine and Propecia, have ever been approved by the FDA. If some wonder-cure for hair loss were to come out, it would definitely make the front page of the newspapers. Unregulated websites may offer quick solutions, but as unfortunate as it may be, they are likely pulling a con.

Hair Transplant - Is A Hair Transplant Right For You?
by: Vienna Miller
What Is A Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure where hair on one part of your head that is not prone to balding (like the sides and back) is taken and transplanted into a balding area.
Generally, most of this transplanted hair will continue to grow for the lifetime of the patient. Hair transplants are thus a popular way to address the problem of premature balding and hair loss.
Patients like the fact that they don't have to mess with questionable hair loss treatments or products for the rest of their lives.
Hair Transplants are becoming much more popular in the image-obsessed culture we live in today. People are realizing that image makes a difference in everything from personal confidence and happiness to the type of salary you earn and even to what kind of mate you can attract.
What Does A Hair Transplant Look Like?
New advances in hair transplants are made every year. Hair transplants today don't need to have the 'pluggy' look they did 10 or 20 years ago. Today they can look so completely natural, no one will be able to tell you had one.
Depending on which doctor you choose you can address the thinning areas on your crown or front hairline. You doctor may also be able to steer you towards proven hair loss products that can cut down on hair loss after your surgery. This will help you so you stave off the natural progression of age-related hair loss.
Is A Hair Transplant Right For You?
Everyone is unique and a hair transplant may not be for everyone as each person's situation is unique. If you're considering a hair transplant, you must choose your surgeon or clinic carefully as there are a wide variety of options for those wanting a hair transplant.
If you are considering a hair transplant, talk to your doctor. You'll also want to educate yourself on hair transplants, methods, costs and options before making a final decision.

Can PCOS And Hair Loss Really Be Related?
by: Elias Coombes
A lot of women that experience hair loss from one degree to another may actually have an affliction named PCOS. The medical term for PCOS is polycystic ovary syndrome and afflicts a lot of women between the ages of 12 through 45.
There are a lot of treatment plans for PCOS but if left unchecked could be the causation of hair thinning. The major immediate remedy for PCOS is to identify a means to bring down the weight of the person.
So much emphasis is made on proper eating habits these days that it seems to go without heed. However in cases of obesity this may be the culprit for hair loss.
The symptoms of PCOS include weight gain, irregular periods, fertility problems and thinning of hair.
Knowing that there are a lot of reasons why women experience this hair malady sometimes it's best to eliminate the obvious. The process of elimination is a good strategy to identify the cause of hair loss that can prove or disprove a disease.
The thought of even having this type of disease never crosses the mind of women because they can't associate their weight with the loss of their hair. Yet this can be a real issue and having a treatment plan to regulate body weight can be a solution for this.
Getting back on track with a healthy diet plan can benefit both the body and the hair at the same time. It's never too late to start with some type of diet plan that can start with regular exercise.
Of course you should check with your regular physician and have yourself diagnosed but insuring that your body receives the proper nutrients can only help you in the long run.
PCOS and hair loss can be a temporary condition if you have it diagnosed and go on a preventive treatment plan that will help you.
It's probably no secret to you, if you're here reading this, that PCOS is a type of endocrine disorder that can strike you at nearly any point in your life. It's also probably known to you already what PCOS is and what is believed to cause it--an inability to deal with glucose and an insulin intolerance in your body.
All of these things combined can cause a condition in your body where the ovaries begin to work less and to create symptoms that are difficult for you to handle over a long period of time.
Among the things that your PCOS can cause are:
*Infertility
*Excessive hair growth
*Cramping and Pain
*Multiple ovarian cysts
One of the most important parts of PCOS and helping to control it is your diet. PCOS diets need to be well controlled and to eliminate many different things from the diet that may be causative agents of some of the problems. Given that insulin intolerance is one of the major parts of PCOS, a PCOS diet may be able to help you to lose some of those symptoms.
PCOS is in fact one of the most common endocrine disorders and the onset of it typically brings you symptoms that are given by more than one or two abnormal cysts which begin to grow on the ovaries.
You will find that a PCOS diet may actually help you with some of these symptoms. Symptoms are plentiful in PCOS and many of these can be controlled by a PCOS diet.
PCOS diet requirements are typically going to be geared at helping you to lose weight, but more, they will also seek to eliminate the chances of further problems that you may see from your insulin resistance, such as early adult onset diabetes. Lowering your fat intake and avoiding carbohydrates particularly processed foods is one of the best ways to help yourself by implementing a PCOS diet.
Carbohydrates tend to be less easily uptaken by the body when one is insulin resistant. It is better for you to steer clear and to eat instead more natural foods with higher fiber. Fresh fruits and vegetables will be best for those who are insulin resistant. Nuts, berries, fresh vegetables and fewer processed foods are the order of the day.
Avoiding sugar or highly sugared or processed foods will also be in your best interests in your PCOS diet. Avoidance of the fruit juices that may be more sugary than fresh fruit, and also staying away from items with high fructose corn syrup or corn sugar is also something you will want to do as much as possible.
A PCOS diet is a more natural and healthful diet. Protein foods are the best way to go for your condition and may help you to lose the weight that is sometimes difficult to lose for the PCOS sufferer. Your PCOS diet, in combination with exercise will go a long way toward helping you to avoid the complications that can take place in PCOS.
Just by watching an hour of TV, or flipping through your favorite magazine you know of the thousands of weight loss "plans" or diets that are around today. For women with PCOS, it may be a bit misleading or confusing.... we know we're supposed to watch our carbs, only eat "good carbs" as this is what best controls our insulin resistance, therefore controlling our PCOS. But the question is, which diet or plan do we choose?
Below are the most common eating plans used by women with PCOS. I say eating plan because I don't consider them "diets". We are not starving ourselves, eating the wrong things for a short amount of time to lose weight, etc. This is a life long choice for us. If we want to control our PCOS and its symptoms, we need to chose an eating plan and stick to it, indefinitely.
Glycemic Index
The glycemic index (GI) is a system used to classify foods with carbohydrates on how fast they raise our blood-sugar levels. There are 3 general categories:
High GI Foods (GI value 70%2B)
These cause a fast rise in blood-glucose levels
Medium GI Foods (GI value 55-69) These cause a medium rise in blood-glucose
Low GI Carb Foods (GI value 54 or less) These cause a slow rise in blood-sugar
This is considered the best option for women with PCOS. A low-GI plan is a balanced diet based with medium and low GI carbs, plus healthy protein and fats (including plenty of healthy whole grains as well as fruits and vegetables. A great plan to follow is Weight Watchers, as they base their meals on the Glycemic index principal.
South Beach Diet
The SBD consists of lean proteins, healthy fats and oils, nuts, seeds, and fresh vegetables and fruits and is a favorable diet for PCOS. The theory is if you cut back on carbs, and eat a higher percentage of protein that your body will have less insulin responses to carbs. It consists of three phases, where you slowly add more carbs back into your meals. The point of the first phase is to get rid of cravings that PCOS'ers have for carbs by eliminating them completely. Then, as good carbs are added into back, you are less likely to lose control and binge. The types of carbs allowed on the SBD are those that score low on the glycemic index.
The Zone Diet
The Zone Diet is about balancing your hormones to control hunger on fewer calories but still getting the nutrients your body needs for long-term health. The Zone is a moderate-carbohydrate, moderate-protein, moderate fat diet that has approximately one gram of fat for every two grams of protein and three grams of carbs. These dietary ratios are based off of the dietary recommendations from the Joslin Diabetes Research Center at Harvard Medical School for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
The Zone's meals include:
Low-fat protein
Low glycemic-load carbs (mostly fruits and vegetables)
Heart-healthy monounsaturated fats
Warning !!!!
Another common "low carb" plan is The Atkins diet. This is NOT recommended for women with PCOS, in fact it should be avoided completely. The Atkins diet has been associated with a large number of heart related conditions and even death. It focuses on completely removing carbs, and eating high fat, unhealthy proteins (such as hamburger, bacon, etc) which is why we need to stay FAR away.
Women with PCOS already have a higher risk of heart disease, high cholesterol/blood pressure and stroke, so adding a diet high in fatty proteins would only increase our risk. Plus, starving your body of the carbs it needs to survive only increases the risk even more.
Millions of women around the world are unable to conceive due to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS, a complex reproductive disease or infertility problem. PCOS may or may not involve cysts in the ovaries, but always involves insulin resistance that causes the ovaries to absorb too much sugar and produce testosterone.
In the case of PCOS the body secretes far too much androgen, the male hormone, which counteracts the ovaries' ability to make enough progesterone necessary for a normal cycle. The estrogen level is OK; but the level of the luteinizing hormone (LH) is actually higher than usual. The luteinizing hormone is actually working overtime in an attempt to kick-start the cycle. Due to the high androgen levels interfering with the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), progesterone is not triggered. In other words your follicles don't develop... instead they turn into pea-sized cysts on your ovaries. The ovaries can then enlarge.
Because the male hormone levels are out of whack you may develop:
facial hair
hair on other parts of your body
a balding issue
acne
obesity
irregular periods
Researchers at the Royal Alfred Hospital, Macquarie University, and the University of Sydney in Australia recently ran a clinical trial to see whether a low glycemic index (low-GI) diet might help women with PCOS achieve pregnancy more quickly.
The Australian researchers gave the women in their study two very simple options:
1. Follow a diet of 'ordinary foods' eaten in carefully prescribed quantities, or
2. Eat any foods they liked, as long as they were low on the glycemic index. Low glycemic index (low-GI) foods release sugars slowly into the bloodstream.
The purpose of both diets was to treat insulin resistance, not full-fledged Type 2 diabetes. Many women who have untreated PCOS, however, eventually develop Type 2 diabetes.
At the end of a year, half of the women who started their diets had managed to stay on plan or to 'graduate' from their diets after losing 7 per cent of their total body weight. Among the women who followed a strict, calorie-restricted plan, 63% had resumed having normal menstrual periods, a strong indication their fertility had returned. Among women who ate whatever foods they liked from a low-GI list, however, 95% had resumed having normal menstrual periods.
In PCOS, fertility returns when insulin resistance is reversed. The results of this study suggest that Type 2 diabetics, as well, may do better when they resolve to eat:
low-fat meats
fish
fruits and
vegetables
...rather than counting carbs and calories in highly processed foods.
Insulin resistance and PCOS go hand in hand. Women with insulin resistance are either at risk for, or have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.

A lot of women that experience hair loss from one degree to another may actually have an affliction named PCOS. The medical term for PCOS is polycystic ovary syndrome and afflicts a lot of women between the ages of 12 through 45.
There are a lot of treatment plans for PCOS but if left unchecked could be the causation of hair thinning. The major immediate remedy for PCOS is to identify a means to bring down the weight of the person.
So much emphasis is made on proper eating habits these days that it seems to go without heed. However in cases of obesity this may be the culprit for hair loss.
The symptoms of PCOS include weight gain, irregular periods, fertility problems and thinning of hair.
Knowing that there are a lot of reasons why women experience this hair malady sometimes it's best to eliminate the obvious. The process of elimination is a good strategy to identify the cause of hair loss that can prove or disprove a disease.
The thought of even having this type of disease never crosses the mind of women because they can't associate their weight with the loss of their hair. Yet this can be a real issue and having a treatment plan to regulate body weight can be a solution for this.
Getting back on track with a healthy diet plan can benefit both the body and the hair at the same time. It's never too late to start with some type of diet plan that can start with regular exercise.
Of course you should check with your regular physician and have yourself diagnosed but insuring that your body receives the proper nutrients can only help you in the long run.
PCOS and hair loss can be a temporary condition if you have it diagnosed and go on a preventive treatment plan that will help you.
It's probably no secret to you, if you're here reading this, that PCOS is a type of endocrine disorder that can strike you at nearly any point in your life. It's also probably known to you already what PCOS is and what is believed to cause it--an inability to deal with glucose and an insulin intolerance in your body.
All of these things combined can cause a condition in your body where the ovaries begin to work less and to create symptoms that are difficult for you to handle over a long period of time.
Among the things that your PCOS can cause are:
*Infertility
*Excessive hair growth
*Cramping and Pain
*Multiple ovarian cysts
One of the most important parts of PCOS and helping to control it is your diet. PCOS diets need to be well controlled and to eliminate many different things from the diet that may be causative agents of some of the problems. Given that insulin intolerance is one of the major parts of PCOS, a PCOS diet may be able to help you to lose some of those symptoms.
PCOS is in fact one of the most common endocrine disorders and the onset of it typically brings you symptoms that are given by more than one or two abnormal cysts which begin to grow on the ovaries.
You will find that a PCOS diet may actually help you with some of these symptoms. Symptoms are plentiful in PCOS and many of these can be controlled by a PCOS diet.
PCOS diet requirements are typically going to be geared at helping you to lose weight, but more, they will also seek to eliminate the chances of further problems that you may see from your insulin resistance, such as early adult onset diabetes. Lowering your fat intake and avoiding carbohydrates particularly processed foods is one of the best ways to help yourself by implementing a PCOS diet.
Carbohydrates tend to be less easily uptaken by the body when one is insulin resistant. It is better for you to steer clear and to eat instead more natural foods with higher fiber. Fresh fruits and vegetables will be best for those who are insulin resistant. Nuts, berries, fresh vegetables and fewer processed foods are the order of the day.
Avoiding sugar or highly sugared or processed foods will also be in your best interests in your PCOS diet. Avoidance of the fruit juices that may be more sugary than fresh fruit, and also staying away from items with high fructose corn syrup or corn sugar is also something you will want to do as much as possible.

Hair Loss In Women - The Role of DHT & Sebum
by: Mike Jones
Hair Loss In Women - The Role of DHT & Sebum - According to some estimates, Hair loss in women affects one in four women in the U.S.A. alone.
It can be very distressing for a woman, not least because it is so misunderstood and often fails to elicit sympathy from those closest to her. Hair loss in women is usually not so severe as hair loss in men.
Although the numbers of men and women experience hair loss or thinning hair is roughly equal, the degree of thinning is usually less for women.
Male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness are terms used to describe the hair loss and both conditions are known as androgenetic alopecia.
This term means hair loss caused by sensitivity to male hormones which exist in both men and women. DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is one of the main enemies in the Hair loss in women war.
DHT is a combination of testosterone and androgen receptors mixed with sebum and dirt particles. DHT has a disastrous effect on the hair follicle so it begins to shut down and the hair eventually falls out. (Sebum is a fatty substance secreted from the sebaceous glands most of which open into hair follicles.)
Sebum buildup in the follicles attacks the hair bulb, the rounded area at the end of a hair strand which is rooted in the follicle. Sebum causes the hair bulb to shrink so the hair is not as well rooted.
After the hair falls out the new hair strand growing in that follicle is weaker and thinner and the process is repeated until the hair follicle is so damaged it dies.
Many products on the market therefore try and address this problem by effectively cleaning out the Sebum and dirt from the hair follicles.
Women often notice their own hair loss much sooner than it becomes visible to others. By the general feel, texture, and body of their hair, they realize it is getting thin.
Often, just behind the hairline, they notice a roundish shaped area that gets very thin. This rings alarm bells and those women then search out the best treatment.
