It depends on why you're losing hair, and perhaps the types of exercise you're doing: cardio vs. weightlifting vs. high-intensity interval training. EXAMPLE 1: someone who is crash dieting, deficient in protein, and losing hair due to hypothyroidism will likely exacerbate their hair shedding if they run on a treadmill for 60+ minutes daily. EXAMPLE 2: someone who is generally healthy and losing hair due to androgenic alopecia might not experience any excessive hair shedding from cardio workouts. In fact, a 2021 study suggests the opposite might be true. In this video, we'll dive into a 2021 study exploring the relationship between exercise habits and the progression of pattern hair loss. It's a cross-section survey study from China, and it found significant relationships between certain types of hair loss and the speed at which androgenic alopecia progressed. While the abstract is English, the rest of the study is not. So, I paid to have it translated. You can access the translated version (for free) below. I first became aware of this study from Dr. Jeff Donovan's video lecture about the top hair loss studies from 2021. I thought the study was interesting, so I decided to make a video diving deeper into the topic. To be absolutely clear: exercise is NOT a frontline therapeutic for androgenic alopecia. Moreover, this study's findings don't perfectly align with all other data exploring the exercise-hair loss connection. Nonetheless, I still think this is a study worth talking about. At a very minimum, we should be finding ways to exercise for overall health (regardless of hair). Original study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34382...
