Bryan Johnson says current hair-loss treatments only slow decline, not cure it. He points to future gene therapy as a real solution, but warns that baldness damages self-esteem and sexual function now. The psychological toll is real enough to start caring for your hair today.
What is hair loss anyway? It's really quite annoying that it's such a big problem. I wish I didn't have to pay attention to it as much as I do. The technology is not that great yet. Like, you're basically trying to slow the process. You're trying to improve follicle strength, you're trying to prevent future damage. But it's not like something like a gene therapy where with two injections, 3 or 4X, the production of that critical biochemical in my body. If you take through the issues of bf, like a man would really struggle with psychologically being bald, not being able to have erections, those are two of your top five things. You know, I hope that the things I talk about publicly help break the stigma around it so that people feel hope they can do something about it. They don't have to hide it. It's challenging and it's heavy to deal with it.
