355. Acne and Hair Loss with Testosterone: Blocking DHT


Listen Later

Welcome to a deep dive into the enigmatic world of DHT, or dihydrotestosterone. Many you have heard from me the numerous benefits of testosterone, from its role in boosting energy to its undeniable ability to elevate mood. Testosterone has been hailed for its potential to improve life in an array of captivating ways. However, like all things, it comes with its complexities.

One of the pressing questions we often encounter is the relationship between testosterone and some unwelcome side effects like acne and hair loss. It's worth noting that not all women on testosterone experience these challenges. So, what makes some more susceptible than others? In this episode, I aim to shed light on this very question.

While I'll explore the benefits and potential challenges of testosterone, I'll also delve into how an increase in this hormone might lead to issues like cystic acne breakouts and hair thinning in some women. But fear not, I won't just be highlighting the concerns about testosterone therapy, I'm here to arm you with strategies and knowledge. From understanding how to block DHT's more adverse effects to nurturing your skin and hair's innate health, I aim to guide you through this intricate landscape, allowing you to make informed decisions on your health journey.

Join me in this episode as I break down the science, dispel myths, and journey together through the maze of testosterone, DHT, and their impact on our bodies.
