@InTheMorning anavar and dht gel

@yerrag beyond albumin I would suggest estrone, prolactin and dht

@yerrag have you gotten blood tests recently?

@yerrag I don't really believe most bald men have high dht. They most likely have higher estrogen, cortisol, adrenaline and prolactin.

Propecia takes destroys 5AR. I took and my DHT was pretty low for a long time. Hair has never grown back. Even when it was at the bottom of the range.

One thing to note. Most men didn't go bald until later in life. I read a stat where the mean DHT in 1981 was 98ng/dl. That's currently higher than the top of the range in 2024

@PrinceTrebata agreed. It's the ultimate androgenic hormone

DHT is considerably lower than it was in the 80's. Men averaged around 98 ng/dl in the 80's. Today the ranges is from 30-90 ng/dl.

I swear half the people on these forums have never paid any attention what Ray said and then complain

You need to see women without makeup or eyeliner.

@Santosh lol

I read a very interesting quote on the ray peat forum in one of the most recent threads:

"Here you go. Garrett Smith prefers sunflower oil , #ggenereux claims that coconut oil is no good because it delivers vit A all around your system and now biochemist Karen Hurd calls it coconut fad . Who would think...

Mitochondria converts saturated fat into unsaturated fat through the beta oxidation cycle , 6 step process, within which you create free-radical damage , that is radical oxidative species which damage your DNA within cells . Now you know why you have aging , gray hair , cancer ...
We alter our DNA because we have these free radicals because we had to turn bad fat (saturated) into a good fat (unsaturated)..."

As far as I know, it's very rare for saturated fat to convert into unsaturated fats. I've only read one study where they needed technology to convert it.

Does anyone with a better understanding of biochemistry know if it's common for this conversion?

@Hando-Jin I don't even know where to begin on this!

@thyroidchor27 Ray say the average healthy male produces around 7mgs a day of testosterone. To be safe, 7mgs shouldn't shut down the gonadal axis.

@xand you're a young sprout. Find out what foods irritate your gut and avoid them just like wheat. I'm sure you'll be fine

@hwisdom no you probably don't produce a lot of dht

RPF states the weather in Dallas has knocked down it's site. Dallas is where the datacenter is. Something tells me this isn't the case

@lanadelesoteric Peat said weight lifting is fine. He suggested nothing too strenuous nor lifting in a set for more than 30 seconds

@Samyo I don't buy this. I was in Spain half a year ago and the native population of men under 50 had plenty of hair

@Insomniac telling people 5 years to better health is a blank check to say whatever you want. Most people will be skeptical within a few months. After a year, I assume the majority of people would give up.

I'd tend to agree that it's healthier than keto or veganism. Eating beans all the time would be miserable for most people

@epstein-jeffery it doesn't pass the sniff test.

"If you don't get sick, you're not properly detoxing." Ok guy.

"It can take up to 3-5 years to detox and feel better." That's peak delusion.
