Episode #134: At Home & In Clinic Solutions for Hair Loss & Hair Restoration
My guest this week is Dr. Alan J. Bauman, MD, ABHRS of Bauman Medical.
In this episode, Dr. Bauman and I discuss at home and in clinic solutions to hair loss and hair restoration. Did you know 80 million Americans report having hair loss issues, which ~30 million are females? “Hair loss” searches have skyrocketed…. and no surprise, the elephant in the room is real, but why? Worried about hair thinning? Hair loss? Scalp health? Curious about what supplements, biohacks or procedures actually work for hair regrowth? We cover all that and the many triggers to hair loss, plus what to do about it in episode 134. As a medical doctor and biohacking expert in hair rejuvenation, Dr. Bauman shares what he’s seeing in clinic: noticeable changes in the last few years, what works and what doesn’t for the gadgets and therapies (chemical, non-chemical, topical, oral, and peptides too of course!), including the hottest therapy in hair restoration, called TED, his clinic’s individualized approach to achieving the best possible hair regrowth for each patient, especially for PRP, and loads of realistic and effective DIY biohacking hair health, scalp health, hair loss support, and regrowth tips sprinkled throughout the entire episode.
