Can diet alone reverse my hair loss? I am 21 years old today and don’t like what is happening to me

Nearly 99% of men with hair loss find that it is caused by genetic factors and your testosterone. Diet does not change this so diet will not solve your problem. For many men your age, finasteride taken daily, will reverse, slow or stop the hair loss. This requires a doctors prescription.  Go for it!

I am not claiming that diet is not important to your overall health. I believe that diet impacts many things in our overall health; however, as a doctor I really do not know much beyond the treatment of deficiencies in the body’s hormones or vitamins, or the treatment of diseases, etc.. There is a great deal of new literature that shows more and more that we are what we eat and many people, for example, who have specific diseases and strategically alter their diets can reverse or subdue these diseases. Many diseases that impact our bodies are the result of thing that maybe we should not eat. This is a new science and we are learning more and more just how we eat becomes what we are and how healthy we can be.
