In this episode of The Common Sense MD, Dr. Tom Rogers tackles a concern millions face but rarely talk about openly: hair loss—especially in men. Drawing from his experience both as a physician and as an observer (even from the back pew at church!), Dr. Rogers dives deep into the true causes behind thinning hair and bald spots.
He debunks the myth that genetics are the only culprit, explaining how hormones, stress, thyroid issues, nutritional deficiencies, and even certain medications can contribute to hair loss. Dr. Rogers shares practical prevention tips, including lifestyle changes, supplements, prescription medications like finasteride and minoxidil, and the latest treatments such as red light therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
Dr. Rogers also reveals his personal routine for maintaining a healthy head of hair and discusses why early intervention is key. Whether you're hoping to keep your locks longer or supporting someone dealing with hair loss, this episode covers the facts, the science, and the solutions with Dr. Rogers’ trademark common sense approach.
Hope this helps some of you!
