So up guys, Derek, more plates more dates.com. Today we're going to be talking about shedding

versus energetic alopecia. So what you need to understand about hair loss is, well, there's a lot of

things that obviously that come with that topic. But when it comes to hair loss, hair falling out of your

head, there's two types of hair loss. One is

male pattern baldness, which is, you know, the acceleration of hair permanently being lost

via androgen miniaturization of the hair follicle, which is what most guys are experiencing.

But then there's shedding. And shedding is often misinterpreted or, you know, like misconstrued as permanent loss.

And it can cause a lot of people to make wild changes in their prevention protocols and think

that something's not working and then drop it before it actually gets better.

And like there's a lot of things that your perception of what's going on gets extremely

skewed when you think shedding is permanent loss.

So we need to understand about shedding.

Basically how hair responds is there's a life cycle.

And this life cycle is fairly long.

And basically your hair goes through a growth cycle and this life cycle is fairly long and basically your hair goes

through a growth phase and you know eventually it's going to complete the life cycle and fall out of

your head and everyone has their own life cycle and typically you're going to have a seasonal shed is

the first thing you have to realize and this is something I had no clue about. And every summer, seemingly around the same time,

I would just lose a bunch of hair. And I assumed three years in a row, I thought it was my

protocol that was just like not working anymore. I'd freak out and I'd start like swapping stuff in

and out. I'd start like doing all these wild changes to what I was using, what I was taking, what I was

like my supplements, my, my, you know, my TRT, I would start messing with that.
