So, guys, Derek, more plates, more dates, more dates.com.

Today we are going to be revisiting the Mark Gordon podcast again with Joe Rogan

because there was another part that was brought up about post-finasteride syndrome

and I guess I missed it in the first one because it was at a totally separate part of the podcast.

But basically Joe is talking about how his friend was suicidal from taking finasteride potentially.

And then Mark Gordon says how it's being banned in a bunch of countries because of this side effect potentially.

So we're going to get into it.

And this is where we're going to start.

By the way, my friend who got very very

depressed and suicidal was taking fanasteride and didn't realize it until years later he got

on SSRIs cured him came out then he got off finasteride and then he realized that that was one of

the side effects.

So yeah, can depression from, this goes back to the first video where I talked about DHD deprivation, but more notably neuro steroid deprivation.

This is going to be a long video.

If I dig into that, if you want to hear the mechanism behind all of that,

go to the first one and watch it. But basically I outline how 5 alpha reductase inhibition can

not only chop down a significant amount of your DHD or all of it, depending on how strong

of a 5AR inhibitor you use, but upstream in the steroidogenesis cascade, you can inhibit

the production of certain neurosteroids that are responsible for preventing anxiety, depression, getting you into a

parasympathetic state, you know, getting to sleep, pro libido, you know, actually making

your dick work.

Like there's a lot of shit that is regulated upstream that goes commonly overlooked.
