Mindsip insights from this episode:
Balance scalp microbiome with prebiotics to promote hair growth
The scalp has its own microbiome, and using a prebiotic can shift the balance from hair-loss-related bacteria to bacteria that promote hair growth.
Manage stress to prevent hair loss from CRH hormone
The stress-related hormone CRH can induce senescence, or 'zombie cells,' in hair follicles, which is a direct mechanism for stress-associated hair loss.
Understand finasteride's nine-month libido recovery timeline
After only a brief topical use of a finasteride-like drug for hair loss, it took nine months for normal libido to return.
Achieve 40% more hair density with OS1 peptide product
In a six-month clinical trial, the OS1 peptide hair product led to an average 40% increase in hair density for over 86% of participants.
Stack OS1 peptide with minoxidil and red light therapy for enhanced hair treatment
It is safe and potentially more effective to combine, or 'stack,' the OS1 peptide product with other treatments like minoxidil and red light therapy.
Utilize coffee to protect hair follicle stem cells
Polyphenols and chlorogenic acid found in coffee can protect hair follicle stem cells, while topical caffeine can reduce DHT in the scalp.
Address copper depletion to combat post-pregnancy hair loss
A potential and often overlooked cause of post-pregnancy hair loss is the depletion of copper, which is lost when the placenta is expelled.
Target senescent cells locally to prevent unwanted hair growth
Unlike some treatments, the OS1 peptide targets senescent cells locally, so it won't cause unwanted hair growth on your face or back.
