sup Chums how y'all living hope

everything is Nova and you're all having

a preme week so anyone who has watched

my content knows that my channel is a

hair loss Channel and that I am a hair

YouTuber or more specifically I am a

hair loss Witcher occasionally though I

have been accused by some of focusing

way too much on finasteride I've even

been accused of being a finasteride

shill every now and then and that I

should rename my channel fin Cafe now as

effective and safe as finasterid be some

think that I should expand my horizons

and focus on treatment modalities

outside of finasteride and other 5 a

Inhibitors now let me be perfectly clear

here there is nothing particularly

special to me about faside other than

the fact that it actually works since it

is one of the very few clinically proven

treatments to work it would be

nonsensical for me not to advocate for

it on this channel which is meant to be

a resource for Effective hair loss

treatments which of course finasteride

qualifies as a hair loss ch that doesn't

promote finasteride it would be like a

strength channel that doesn't promote

barbell training however one should not

confuse my enthusiasm for finasteride

with closed mindedness no on the

contrary I absolutely welcome new

Innovations in treating hair loss and I

made many videos on upcoming hair loss

treatments in the pipeline many of which

I've spoken enthusiastically about on

this channel truth be told though I

don't posit myself as some sort of hair

loss Guru and I never have I'm not a

doctor or dermatologist my educational

background is actually in kinesiology

which is the science of human movement

but my passion for the science of hair

loss it comes from my many years of

experience fighting against the slaped

curse and the knowledge that I share

with you fellow hair loss witchers it

comes from my competency in properly

interpreting hair loss research which is

something I taught myself after having

been misled by so much misinformation

and fear mongering in the past simply

put the objective of my channel is to

make sure that you have access to the

information I wish I had access to when

I first started losing my hair I want to

be the hair loss resource I wish existed

when I was a young man so that the young

men of today don't have to go through

all the [ __ ] I went through when I

found out I was losing my hair because

hair loss sufferers deserve better than

that back then if you were to go online

and look up information about hair loss

basically all you would ever see were

hysterical form post from people telling

you that finasteride is a drug that will

completely destroy life in every way you

can imagine often times these exact same

people would swear that there are

natural and safe ways to regrow your

hair like hanging upside down while

massaging your scalp or using various

snake oils like Rosemary saw paletto or

biotin or even eating broccoli I

unfortunately fell victim to this

fear-mongering and pseudoscience back

when I was young and impressionable and

it cost me my hairline which I had to

spend $15,000 trying to restore to just

the semblance of what it once looked

like I know that all that could have

been avoided if I had just trusted the

science over the online anecdotes and

stayed on finasteride rather than

panicking whenever I read some bogus

Horror Story on the hair loss forums

when I learned how to become

scientifically literate enough to

properly interpret hair loss research

though I realized just how absolutely

full of [ __ ] these fearmongers really

were that is when I decided that enough

was enough The Narrative behind hair

loss needed to change once and for all

the scientific reality behind hair loss

had been drowned out by these loud

obnoxious conspiracy theorist incel neck

bearded dorks for way too long hair loss

sufferers desperately needed a voice

that would amplify the scientific

reality about hair loss treatments so

that people could make medical decisions

based on actual scientific data rather

than unverified online anecdotes and if

that voice had to be me then so [ __ ]

be it and so here we are today many

years later and I am happy to tell all

of you hair switchers that we are

winning there are still finasteride

fearmongers online of course but they no

longer dominate the online narrative

like they used to these days they're

largely just considered to be a joke and

whenever they come online to post their

lame so stories that all follow the same

generic template or they post some rat

studies from Dr trash or Dr irck about

the

neurosteroids they usually get laughed

out of the room completely 10 years ago

it was unimaginable that any any of

these finasteride haters would get this

kind of push back but today they do and

often times the push back I see comes

from people who use many of the same

talking points I established in my own

videos which of course is a great honor

to me because it tells me that my

content is working and my objectives

have been successful but we shouldn't

think for a moment that finasteride or

even dutasteride is the final frontier

of hair loss research it turns out that

there is something possibly even better

than finast and dutasteride that has

been right under our very noses this

whole time like I said earlier my

educational background is in kology and

exercise science so my background in

human movement combined with my passion

for fighting hair loss has led me to

wonder is it possible that there may be

some overlap between these two subjects

training human movement especially when

it comes to weightbearing compound

movements is already known to stimulate

many changes to the human organism all

of them are very positive so is it

possible that human physiology and human

kinetics could possibly be combined to

benefit hair growth well we already know

pretty well that exercise has anti-aging

and many longevity benefits that is why

we have an eccentric sent a millionaire

like Brian Johnson who spends most of

his time in his days exercising fasting

and dieing to the point that he now has

the body of a 20-some year old yet with

all the known benefits of exercise on

our health why has there been so little

attention paid to one of the biggest

detriment to our health at least our

mental health I'm of course talking

about the slaphead curse of androgenic

alopecia tell us you turned on or turned

off

shock nine what happened he kind of

looks a bit old and he's Bary like me

Dad and

no

okay to put this all into perspective on

one hand we have disease androgenic

alopecia which we know is caused by the

trash hormone DHT and on the other hand

we have an intervention in the form of

exercise that can also affect our

hormones in various ways so how do these

two seemingly unrelated subjects

interact with each other and if they do

interact could we possibly utilize this

interaction to our advantage to help

stop and reverse hair loss well as usual

Chums it is time to go balls deep into

the influence of exercise on hair loss

so that we can unra this mystery once

and for all as most of my viewers

already know here at the Hair Cafe

Institute of scientific research and

integrity we have a dedicated team of

salarian scientist researchers who work

around the clock night and day to delve

into all the medical archives available

on the internet on the subject of hair

loss in the past we have used this elite

team of hair loss researchers to delve

deeply into hair loss lore and to

uncover and share with you many classic

hair loss articles by some of the

superheroes of the Hair Cafe Cinematic

Universe I'm of course talking about

many protagonists like Dorothy Osborne

and Julian imperato McGinley as well as

some of the evil villains like Dr Albert

cigman who did his experiments on

prisoners as well as post finasterid

syndrome apologists like Dr trash and Dr

earwig but if we want to really uncover

the hidden enigmas of hair loss in human

movement science we're going to have to

go back even further in time than that

we'll have to go back at least a

generation before the time of any of

these hair loss researchers so that we

could find the first article that ever

looked at the link between physical

activity and hair loss after many many

hours of scouring every scientific

journal resource I could possibly find I

finally found it it's this article right

here which is a series of case reports

published in 1895 by a gentleman named

Dr James Bailey the article was entitled

quote unexpected regrowth of hair in

Circus strong men unquote in the article

James Bailey made an interesting

observation that circus performers who

performed Feats of Strength that loaded

the axial skeleton like squats deadlifts

calf races and circus dumbbell presses

they would experience a sensation or

even a reversal of their hair loss so

here are some of the examples he showed

in his article as you can see there is

very little evidence of antic alcia in

any of these cases and keep in mind this

is many many years before things like

faside and Med oxidal existed so the

tools to explain the hair growth

phenomenon among circus strong men it

didn't exist yet back then so this was

of course completely observational data

keep in mind that in 1895 this was long

before we even knew what DHT was or had

the tools to measure things like

hormones but nevertheless This research

is notable as it is the first recorded

correlation between certain

weightbearing exercises and hair

regrowth Dr Bailey made note of the fact

that other circus performers who were

physically gifted like acrobats tight

RPP Walkers and jugglers did not

experience the hair regrowth phenomenon

despite their athleticism so he

attributed the hair regrowth benefit to

the specific movements that strong men

engage in specifically axial loaded

weightbearing strength movements

including squats deadlifts presses and

calf raises of course I don't need to

tell you Chums that correlation does not

equal causation So based on this data

alone we could just write this off as

being coincidental or being due to other

factors honestly even though this paper

is very interesting to me I wouldn't

have drawn anything conclusive from it

other than it just being an interesting

observation that was made in the 19th

century I probably never even would have

known about this particular research or

reported about it here if it weren't for

the fact that I just came across this

paper which was just published last

month that puts the original observation

by James Bailey into an entirely

different perspective it made me realize

that we really do need to take his

observations very seriously this recent

paper is titled quote muscul follicular

stimulation of the w&t wind pathway and

a cyp1 182 knockout rat model of anic

alpia clarifying the dihydrotestosterone

Paradox and rate limiting recovery

factors unquote this article was from

good Korea which is a nation that takes

hair loss very very seriously of course

that's why trends like Korean beauty

standards have been blowing up globally

for the past couple of years needless to

say I was very excited to find this

article but unfortunately like many

other recently published articles on

hair loss it is behind a mammoth pay

costing 134,000 Korean one which is

equivalent to about

$99 and this doesn't even buy the

article it just allows you to rent it

for 48 hours but being that I am a hair

loss Witcher trained at the school the

wolf at K Moren I was able to contact

the Publishers of the article personally

and I use the axi sign on all of them in

order to convince them to give me the

article completely for free so the hair

loss knowledge they've so greedily

sealed away from the public now belongs

to me and as a extension it now also

belongs to all of you because knowledge

should always be free right jumes so

here is the full article now I know what

you're all thinking right now oh what's

this supposed to be Kevin yet another

rut study I see you always say that rut

studies are bogus when you criticize

antien asteroid research yet here you

are posting a study about rodents and

expecting us to take it seriously you

have no intellectual consistency in how

you present your research and you're so

biased so haha well hold on for a minute

Chums if we are looking at cuttingedge

state-of-the-art hair loss research

sometimes we do have to look at rat

studies because preliminary research

begins with rodents even the research on

finasteride initially started off as

just rodent research but today it is a

clinically proven product that has been

tested in tens of thousands of human

subjects rat studies from today can turn

into clinical research studies involving

thousands of human subjects in less than

a decade so let's not throw out the rats

with the bathwater here just yet besides

this study actually resurrects Dr

Bailey's old hypothesis in the

introduction the researchers say quote

anecdotal reports of hair regrowth in

men undergoing strength training

exercises date back over a century yet

until now no one has examined any

connection between certain forms of

exercise despite the fact that exercise

is known to upregulate thousands of Gene

Loy as well as activate growth

stimulating Pathways while at the same

time inhibiting inflammatory factors and

reducing free radical oxygen species it

is scarcely credible that a link between

the micro environment of the dermal Papa

and physical activity would not exist

unquote the methods of this study like

many rat studies are highly complex so I

won't go over every single detail but

what makes the methodology especially

interesting here is that the

investigators didn't just submit the

rats to traditional rodent-based

exercises like an exercise wheel they

actually devised an ingenious scheme to

isolate the exercise to the rats upper

bodies and to their lower bodies as you

can see in these figures here so what

were the results of all this well as

expected weight training exercise in

general had multiple beneficial effects

for the hair as you can see weight-based

exercise activated growth factors such

as vgef igf1 Alpha Prime as well as

activated both the shh the Sonic

Hedgehog pathway and the all important

wind pathway all these are crucial for

hair regrowth meanwhile negative growth

factors that destroy the hair follicles

and our Downstream effects of DHT like

TGF beta 1 were inhibited so resistance

training remarkably has similar

biochemical effects on the hair as

taking finasteride or dutasteride but on

a more practical level the rats who

underwent lower body muscular strength

training had much faster hair regrowth

than the rats who just did aerobic

training in their exercise wheel or did

upper body weight training exercises so

even though the investigators found that

exercise in general enhanced growth

factors they were initially at a loss to

explain the fact that it is specifically

lower body strength training that

stopped hair loss and promoted growth

more than any other form of exercise so

they next did a series of experiments

looking at physiological parameters like

BL flow and also the upregulation of

anent receptors as well as follicular

DHT levels this is all summarized in

these tables and graphs that you can see

very clearly here okay moving on the

bottom line is that the good Koreans

found evidence that lower body exercise

had several specific effects on hair

growth and the hair cycle here are the

main effects that they found number one

there was upregulation of

11,872 specific genes and down

regulation of

13,566 other specific genes admittedly

the function of all these genes is

pretty obscure but all the genes were

found to be specific number two

upregulation of angine receptors in the

muscles of the lower body occurred this

is also seen with the upper body

exercises but given that the muscle mass

of the lower body was greater than the

upper body there was more overall

upregulation in the lower body this

resulted in decreased serum DHT levels

due to increased angine receptor binding

in the muscles and decreased DHT binding

in the scalp number three post exercise

edema occurred and it led to the

shunting of blute flow from the scalp to

the muscles resulting in reduced brute

flow to the scalp well you may think

that lowered BL flow is a bad thing but

actually the opposite is true it is well

known that low oxygen levels in the

scalp actually are a stimulus to hair

growth that is how the drug dioxidine

Works hypoxic environments contrary to

popular belief are optal for hair

regrowth and more muscular edema means

more blood in the muscles and therefore

less blood in the scalp and thus less

oxygen number four finally it is well

known that stabilizing and moving heavy

weights with a lower body results in

oscillating forces that can vibrate and

spread to the scalp this is what the

researchers call the quote mechanical

follicular feedback loop unquote this

predominantly occurs when performing

movements like the high bar squat since

with the high bar squat the barbell is

placed on top of the trapezius the

trapezius it is basically just this

large diamond shaped muscle in the back

that connects to the base of the skull

which in turn connects to the connective

tissue of the skull including the Gallia

ainoa barbells they have something

called a whip you might have heard of it

what a whip is it's basically the flex

that you notice when you're loading up a

barbar that can cause it to feel like it

almost bounces when you do certain

movements like squats this extra

momentum can help assist the lifter

through movements performed with a great

deal of velocity like Olympic movements

and it requires a great deal of skill to

master but almost all barbells even ones

designed for slower powerlifting

movements will have some degree of

barbell whip when you're performing a

barbell squat with enough weight like at

least 125 kg this will cause the bar to

bounce on the trapezius as you perform a

squat with a full range of motion these

oscillating forces combined with the

heavy resistance on the trapezius will

vibrate and the vibrations will be

transmitted up the kinetic chain that

connects the trapezius to the connective

tissue of the scalp this oscillating

force will help break up scalp

calcification as well as prevent scalp

fibrosis which are the end stages of

antic alopecia what's especially notable

is that this effect of reversing scalp

calcification and fibrosis does not

occur with upper body movements so this

suggests that it's not just resistance

training which is important important

for hair growth but also bar placement

and exercise selection movements where

the load is placed closer to the scalp

produce Superior outcomes to other forms

of resistance training so if you're

doing squats at the gym for instance

it's probably better to place the bar in

the high bar Olympic squat position

rather than the low bar ego lift

position of Mark Ripple tits that's why

Olympic weightlifters who train with

high bar back squats and front squats

like fos Deus and Dimitri kokov have

full heads of hair while most

powerlifters end up looking like bald

preg sumo wrestlers so I wouldn't say

this is a full-blown replacement for

finasteride at least not yet but this is

still pretty convincing research from

our friends in good Korea clearly The

Next Step here is human studies but at

the very least I do think leg training

should be seen as a potentially

effective adjunctive therapy for

fighting hair loss skipping leg day and

developing a muscular upper body will

make you look like an absolute buffoon

so it's not like we necessarily needed

another reason to train our legs but the

fact remains that leg training may be

yet another tool that we can use to

defeat the slaphead curse and that is a

blessing because it gives us even more

motivation to hit the gym hard which of

course has a long list of health

benefits so hopefully for those who

watch this video and don't do barbell

training yet this will inspire you to

take up barbell training after all the

only thing more attractive and sexy to a

woman than a full head of hair is a

chiseled muscular physique brought on

through years of dedication of pumping

cold hard iron don't believe me we'll

just take a good look at Jason Blaha

here I rest my case thank you for

watching hair loss witchers God bless
