Short transcript of a conversation on Ben Greenfield's YouTube video discussing evolutionary perspectives on progeny and a personal report linking creatine use to hair loss. The speakers note an anecdote of substantial hair loss after creatine and a claim that about 20% of people may experience hair loss related to creatine/genetic predisposition.
About 20% (as stated by Ben Greenfield).
You know, from, from a, if you want to really, you know, get a little bit esoteric and step back and look at this from an ancestral and evolutionary standpoint, it is true that if you have children, you have in a way fabricated some sense of immortality or life extension in the progeny that you've created to come after you that would theoretically give your body a biological message that it doesn't have to cling it so many years because you know you're living on through your children.
I experimented with creatine and had like half my hair fall out. So I know people say it doesn't do that, but it definitely like it was not a good experience for me hair wise.
Yep, you can look that up like if you upload your data to Self decode or Genetic Genie, you can see if you have the genetics that cause hair loss. And I think it's about 20% of people can experience that.
