I am fortunate enough to welcome Rob English for a second time to Health & Care. The Oscars this year brought Alopecia Areata to the forefront of the conversation and Rob English is at the forefront of the topic of hair growth. He is a published researcher, has published 5 peer-reviewed studies, and is paid to edit medical research on the subject of hair growth and the topics surrounding it. He is the founder of www.perfecthairhealth.com where he focuses on evidence-based options for slowing, stopping, and even reversing hair loss. Like me, he is big on self-care and his beautiful head of hair that was once balding is part of the proof that his techniques work. He reversed his androgenic alopecia and tells his story in Episode 8 of Health & Care.
I appreciate how Rob is versed in alternative treatments like low-level laser therapy, self-massage, light therapy, Biotin, baldness supplements, platelet-rich plasma for hair loss, growth factors, stem cells, and a plethora of other therapies. and conventional hair-loss treatment options like hair transplants, Minoxidil, Propecia (Finasteride) Rogaine, etc.
