A lot of people completely dismiss the possibility of Male Pattern Baldness being altered by lifestyle/ diet. This may fall upon mostly deaf ears on this forum.

I have a background in Biology and have done a lot of research on environmental influences and male pattern baldness. DHT doesn't directly cause hairloss but its is required for male pattern baldness to develop. . DHT plays a role in the way calcium circulates and is used in the body, and effects the blood flow. Eating Junk diets all our lives in our childhoods/ teens makes are capillary networks more susceptible One thing are ancestors did a lot was long term water/ dry fasting. For those that don't know, fasting completely changes the way the body functions and repairs damaged cells, removes toxins, The body uses all of its energy to heal and repair, Nowadays most people eat every single time, the body never can truly heal from the damaging effects.

Some people Are just born resistant to Hair loss with a stronger capillary system perhaps, more repair genes maybe.

The thing I don't understand is why - out of four brothers born in the 40s - one was bald and the other three weren't. It happened in my family and all the brothers were raised and fed in the same way. Junk food wasn't invented then.

Sibilings can have very different genetics , its as simple as that. Some people just are more genetically resistant.

Given that epigenetics is definitely a thing then what you postulate sounds very plausible. The thing people get confused by is thinking they can just switch these genes off/on by changing the diet and thus curing male pattern baldness when the reality is their genes are probably set in stone at this point. If diet were to play a role I still think it would be minor given the amount of bald people that have existed in history, way back when the food wasn't plagued with sugar and other toxins, although who knows what our ancestors looked like before the dawn of civilisation/agriculture. Also, I don't think male pattern baldness is necessarily an impact of unfavourable gene expression, its just one of those evolutionary quirks although that is just an opinion from someone far less qualified than yourself.

But yeah most people don't realise the very act of eating is bad for you. Everything in biology is a compromise and its about finding the balance between hunger and sustenance to achieve optimal health. Also there is a myth that humans are supposed to eat a diet consisting 70% of carbs. They don't realise that before agriculture surviving on vegetables and fruits just wasn't practical. There is a reason the wooly mammoth became extinct because high fat, moderate protein and low carb diets were a must and its how humans are supposed to eat IMO.

I have absolutely no doubt that lifestyle can accelerate or decelerate hair loss at a minimum.

I'm not sure how large the possible amplitude of change is, nor can I answer "which lifestyle".

My thinking is a high fat, high vegetables, low insulin, low calorie, with intermittent fasting might be best but I cannot demonstrate it sufficiently so as to advice it to people.

Do you think I have a shot with any of those girls in your avatar?

Diet will always play a role, its no coincidence that younger people are seing their hair go, especially in the US. sh*t diet just expresses genes we have at an earlier time.

I just wish we had some idea what magnitude lifestyle/diet affects hairloss. Could it just be marginally, maybe delaying by a few months? Or could it completely change the progress of your hairloss, delaying by years or more?

I've heard this calcification theory a few times. If there is some truth to it I think vitamin K should be the number one thing to try and get in your diet. It helps take calcium from your blood or buildup around the body and bring to your bones/teeth.

Anything that can affect your hormones could have an impact.
