In this episode, we discuss what DHT actually is and why it should be in the trash by the age of 16. DHT is a hormone that does one thing good up until you're 16, and after that turns you into a complete fucking subhuman.

00:00:00.000 What's going on guys, today we're going to do a deep dive into dihydrotestosterone,
00:00:04.280 considering the amount of misconceptions and just blatantly wrong claims that I've seen about DHT.
00:00:09.360 So we're going to break it down into two parts, what DHT actually does for you during your 0.98
00:00:13.940 developmental stages, and why it should belong in the fucking gutter after the age of about 16. 0.94
00:00:19.660 So DHT is converted from testosterone through the 5AR or 5-alpha reductase enzyme. Keep in mind, 0.98
00:00:25.840 the only time that DHT should be flowing throughout your system is while you're going through puberty.
00:00:30.760 It serves you no benefit after this point. The main benefit of DHT during development is going to be
00:00:36.360 penile growth for men. Male penile growth stops at around the age of 16, so this is where DHT starts 0.97
00:00:42.440 to be a looksman. There's another common misconception that facial hair is influenced by DHT, but this is 0.90
00:00:48.060 a huge exaggeration. And even if that were true, body hair and facial hair are completely repulsive,
00:00:54.120 so get that shit the fuck away from me. So we've basically got a hormone that does one thing 1.00
00:00:59.300 that's good up until you're 16, and after that turns you into a complete fucking subhuman. 0.98
00:01:04.720 So how exactly is DHT going to turn you from that youthful chad into a complete doomer cell? 0.99
00:01:10.280 Let's break it down real quick. So the first looksman that's going to come from DHT is going
00:01:14.460 to be hair loss, that infamous Norwood Reaper or hair follicle miniaturization. Before we continue,
00:01:20.340 I would like to quote St. Hamoudi, hair is life, and if you have no hair, you have no life. 0.99
00:01:25.080 Hair loss is largely unrelated to stupid shit that you see peddled by these carnivore gurus like 0.99
00:01:30.260 folate deficiencies and other deficiencies. It's just DHT. That's the plain straight up truth. 1.00
00:01:36.940 The vast majority of men are going to have hereditary androgenic alopecia, but everyone's
00:01:41.440 hair follicles are going to be a little bit more or less sensitive to androgens. So the androgens in
00:01:46.300 your scalp are going to bind to the receptors in your hair follicles and cause them to stop growing.
00:01:51.360 So now this change isn't going to happen overnight, but slowly the antigen phase is going to cause the
00:01:55.920 hair follicle to go dormant. So the strongest hormone that's going to shorten the antigen
00:02:00.280 phase is going to be dihydrotestosterone. So that's why it is crucial that you know about it.
00:02:05.360 DHT really is the hormone of incels, and you'll hear a lot of random shit about, you know, 0.94
00:02:10.200 mothers, hereditary genes or something like that. Whereas it's completely random, 0.93
00:02:14.260 it could skip generations, and you really will never know until it's too late.
00:02:18.320 That's why you have to take preventative measures. So really, as soon as you turn 16,
00:02:23.440 you should be doing everything in your power to get your hands on some fucking dutasteride. 1.00
00:02:27.760 Now let's really bury DHT into the ground and talk about how it completely ruins your fucking skin. 0.99
00:02:33.580 So DHT is going to upregulate the sebaceous glands, which cause your skin to produce more sebum, 0.99
00:02:39.040 and that's going to lead to acne, right? That's because DHT binds to the androgen receptors in your skin.
00:02:43.760 And when DHT is bound to these receptors within the skin, it causes the sebaceous glands to actually
00:02:49.320 get bigger, more acne, more subhumanity. And you still don't believe me about DHT? Well,
00:02:54.720 let's keep going. So now there's going to be two types of DHT, DHT type 1 and DHT type 2.
00:03:00.560 Finasteride only protects you against DHT type 2. That's the DHT that's going to affect your hair
00:03:05.720 follicles. But DHT type 1 is the one that did exactly what I just told you about your
00:03:11.100 upregulation of your sebaceous glands. Not to mention that it turns your skin into a saggy piece
00:03:16.920 of shit, right? So DHT is going to have a massive impact on your elastin. So inhibiting it is going 1.00
00:03:23.740 to be really good for your anti-aging protocol. And they have done studies on cultured human fibroblasts
00:03:29.460 where DHT treatment lowers the amount of elastin. This does suggest that DHT inhibits elastin production.
00:03:35.600 The black pill about the DHT and elastin thing is once it's gone, you're not getting it back. So
00:03:40.480 all you can do is prevent further subhumanity from DHT. So now when you're young, almost everyone is
00:03:46.020 going to have perfect collagen, perfect hairline, whatever. But it's important that you maintain
00:03:50.820 that so you can continue the mog well into your 20s, well into your 30s. This is what's going to
00:03:55.960 eventually set you apart as a looks maxer. Just imagine for a second the halo effect. If you're the
00:04:01.140 only mogger at 35 years old, who's got a perfect Norwood zero hairline and skin that doesn't look 1.00
00:04:06.360 like diabolical dog shit. And before some moron talks about DHT's effect on muscle growth, let's 1.00
00:04:12.060 completely bury that cope into the ground. DHT is completely dog shit for muscle building. 1.00
00:04:17.420 The thing that you need to realize about dihydrotestosterone is it gets metabolized 0.99
00:04:21.540 within muscle tissue into a completely weaker hormone called 3 alpha A. Now this has zero binding
00:04:28.620 affinity for the AR, which renders it completely useless to have any DHT in terms of muscle
00:04:34.520 building. So now the final thing is, is DHT going to influence bone structure? And the answer is no,
00:04:40.020 not at all. So they've done studies on twins where one of them was deficient in 5 alpha reductase enzymes
00:04:46.280 and there was actually no difference on development, which indicates that DHT has really no impact on
00:04:52.040 bone structure, on frame, all these common misconceptions, just totally wrong, totally made up. 0.99
00:04:58.300 Because you see a lot of just stupid memes and shit about these DHT bone moggers. You know, 1.00
00:05:03.680 so that cope kind of just got made up. It's not really based in science. So now for the good part,
00:05:08.160 how do we actually inhibit DHT? Now there's going to be two 5 alpha reductase enzyme inhibitors that
00:05:14.480 you've probably heard about. There's going to be your finasteride. There's going to be your
00:05:17.940 dutasteride. So which one should you actually go with? With 2.5 milligrams of dutasteride,
00:05:22.860 you're going to block type 1 DHT as well as type 2 DHT, which means that 97% of the DHT within your
00:05:29.880 body is going to be reduced. Whereas finasteride is only going to block type 2 DHT and only about
00:05:35.320 70% of total DHT. So the option is pretty clear on which one you should go with. Common dosing
00:05:41.260 protocols and common prescriptions for dutasteride is only 0.5 milligrams though. So Clav, why are you
00:05:46.620 saying 2.5? Well, that's because studies indicate that 0.5 milligrams of DHT, even though it's about
00:05:52.000 five times stronger than fin, is still only going to block about 85% of DHT. Now this is going to be
00:05:57.440 enough to stop recession in 99% of people, but should you take the extra step to prevent that
00:06:03.240 small chance that you have any norwinning at all? Absolutely. There's no downside to taking 2.5
00:06:09.240 milligrams of dutasteride instead of 0.5. So the main recap of this video is that after 16 years old,
00:06:16.160 you really have to get rid of DHT if you want to even call yourself a luxmaxer, right? 0.98
00:06:21.360 This stuff is complete garbage. It serves you no benefit. So get it the hell out of your body. 0.98
00:06:27.180 So essentially, fuck the 5AR enzyme. But thank you guys so much for watching. Leave a comment, 0.99
00:06:33.320 subscribe, all that fucking bullshit. But you know, take care. 1.00
00:06:36.720 Thanks so much for watching.
