A solo deep dive into everything you need to know about hair loss, androgenetic alopecia (AGA), and the real science behind treatment options. Instead of interviews, this episode is a straight, no-nonsense breakdown of what works, what doesn’t, and how to navigate an industry flooded with snake oil and marketing hype. From DHT blockers and minoxidil to PRP, laser therapy, and hair transplants, I cover the core science, FDA-approved treatments, emerging options, and the mindset needed to tackle this long-term journey.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why DHT is the central driver of male pattern baldness and why blocking it is step one.
• The science behind finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole—the “big three” worth starting with.
• How to avoid getting misled by ineffective natural remedies and snake-oil marketing.
• The role of emerging treatments like dutasteride, low-level laser therapy, and microneedling.
• What to know before considering PRP or a hair transplant, and why timing matters more than hype.
• Why proactive, early intervention makes the biggest difference in long-term results.
