Gut Check Project

Hair Loss—The Hidden Trade-Offs

40 min • 25 april 2025

Think hair loss has nothing to do with gut health? Think again. In this off-the-cuff, insight-packed episode, Dr. Ken Brown and co-host Eric Rieger dive deep (and hilariously) into the world of male pattern baldness, Propecia, and the surprising role of hormones, enzymes, and even heavy metals in hair health.


🧠 They unpack:


  • Why blocking DHT might solve one problem but create five more
  • What COVID ICU patients and baldness have in common
  • How stress, sleep, and mouth breathing sabotage your hairline
  • Natural (and weirdly effective) alternatives like scalp rolling, rosemary oil, and even pumpkin seed oil
  • The wild rabbit holes of enzyme functions, erectile dysfunction, and heavy metal toxicity
  • And the million-dollar question: Can you keep your hair and your manhood?


If you’re worried about your hair, your hormones, or your health overall—this episode is a must. Smart, unexpected, and full of laugh-out-loud moments, it’s The Gut Check Project at its best.


💥 Listen now and rethink what’s really behind that receding hairline.
