Andropause, for fucks sake
post
Just for clarification male pattern hair loss is due to hair follicle sensitivity to DHT or dihydrotestosterone. It can happen wirh low of high testosterone. Its also why DHT blockers like finasteride and dutasteride are treatments and not testosterone replacement therapy. There is some evidence that TRT in men with low T and transgender women transitioning to men actually accelerates hair loss.
Interesting. Andropause is different in several way compared to menopause for women but it's the same, it several ways in terms of how you feel and lack of energy etc.
The most important syntpom of our time is androgenic alopecia. This is why we need to fund more research into this subject. /s
I mean I may be in that stage but honestly your body sorta goes downhill around thirty so I sorta lump it in with the rest of aging.
no, there's an actual process men go through as they age.
This article states
It is important to note that many of these symptoms may arise from a midlife crisis or as the results of a long-term unhealthy lifestyle (smoking, excess drinking, overeating, lack of exercise) and may be best addressed by lifestyle changes, therapy, or antidepressants.
'Many of these symptoms may arise'
Doesn't say there can't be an age related cause though. Thats like claiming the flu doesnt exist because other things can cause a fever and aches.
hmm, interesting. How are men letting themselves have those issues? What would you consider to be a bad lifestlye? Not working out, too much beer and bratwurst? I'm not a man so I have no idea!
ingredients that are unpronounceable
Skill issue :)
How about:
Hydrogen oxide
Hydrogen hydroxide
Hydroxylic acid
Dihydrogen monoxide
Dihydrogen oxide
Hydric acid
Hydrohydroxic acid
Hydroxic acid
Hydroxoic acid
Hydrol
ฮผ-Oxidodihydrogen
ฮบ1-Hydroxylhydrogen(0)
Not familiar with the nomenclature on the last two, came from the Wiki on "water". Point being, a lot of "unpronounceable" ingredients are perfectly normal chemicals.
The contents of an apple are less jokey and more to my point:
Important volatile compounds in apples that contribute to their scent and flavour include acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, 1-butanal, ethanol, 2-methylbutanal, 3-methylbutanal, ethyl propionate, ethyl 2-methylpropionate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl 2-methyl butyrate, hexanal, 1-butanol, 3-methylbutyl acetate, 2-methylbutyl acetate, 1-propyl butyrate, ethyl pentanoate, amyl acetate, 2-methyl-1-butanol, trans-2-hexenal, ethyl hexanoate, hexanol.
๐ I just listed loads of chemicals that sound "chemically", "unpronounceable", all natural.
And I'll fight you on "GMO'd". Dare you to go to your local produce section and find anything to eat that wasn't engineered by humans. Dare you to go into the woods and forests around your home and find anything to eat, untouched by human modification, outside of mushrooms and acorns and twigs.
Even our rice and potatoes and corn and wheat have been drastically modded. The modern use of speeding up those mods via fucking about with DNA is in it's infancy, not much to see here.
I hope this get's upvoted to the heavens! You spoke nothing but facts. Nutrition plays such a huge part. I've said it before and I'll said it here: If you can't pronounced it, you shouldn't put it in your mouth. You nailed it. What's the best nutrition plan you think people should adopt, Mediterranean, high protein low carb, keto, vegan? What nutrition plan or lifestyle are you on? You sound like you're on a specific lifestyle that works for you.
I also cycle high protein low card and I do intermittent fasting 1 to 2 times a week, that helps as well. Nice! Oddly enough, I've seen some vegans who don't look very healthy. It's a common misconception that all vegan food is healthy. Most of it is healthy, but some can get you in a lot of trouble.
Yes sir, that's what I figured. You sound very educated on an acceptable nutrition plan and one that's not. This community needs voices like yours, feel free to post here whenever you want. You're perspective will never be downvoted by me, even if we do not always have the same views! Welcome to the community!
You think natural, age-related metabolic, hormonal, pituitary, and hair-loss issues are lifestyle-related!? That is unhinged.
So, you can't even answer the question. That definitely sounds like you're on the right side of logic.
