- Alternative Health
Are you losing your hair? Don’t wig out because Join the Docs have you covered….well, some of you anyway! Welcome to a particularly hairy, or rather hairless, episode of Join the Docs, where your favourite relatively hairy duo, the ever-charming and knowledgeable Nigel “King of the Comb-over” Guest, alongside his witty and inquisitive co-host Jonathan “Hairgel Hero” Sackierembark on an adventure into the wild and woolly world of hair loss.
Prepare to be entertained as the Docs untangle the knotty issue of why your once-lush mane might be thinning, or why it’s in a full retreat. They'll comb through the list of causes, starting with the notorious male pattern baldness, which has men checking their hairlines more often than their watches. Newsflash! Alopecia is not an Irish entertainer but a hair thief…..and women are not immune. Actually, being immune is part of the issue.
Nigel, recounts a hair-raising tale from his hairdresser about the dreaded hair splinters – yes, they're a thing, and yes, they're as unpleasant as they sound. This gets the docs talking about the more mysterious world of pilonidal cysts, which will have you squirming in your seat. Because hair can also spear your sit-upon and turn your rear end into a volcano; the pulsating pilonidal pit of despair!
As they brush past the surface, they'll highlight the fascinating cultural and ethnic differences, emphasising the varying patterns of male hair loss across the globe. And, it’s not just about the hair on your head…
So, what causes baldness? Our hosts shed some light on the genetic side of hair loss, exploring why Uncle Joe can rock a full Elvis doo while you're left squeaky clean (or with a ‘never ending forehead’). They'll dissect the DNA strands that could be the culprits behind your receding hairline, and they'll do it with more puns and laughter than ever before; they just can’t help themselves.
Worried about your own hairline? Nigel and Jonathan look over the latest and greatest in treatment options, from the tried-and-true to the cutting-edge, giving you hope that your follicular future might yet be wavy, shiny and bright.
So, grab your headphones, settle in, and let your hair down (if you've got enough left) for this episode of Join the Docs, where the topic of hair loss gets a full-bodied treatment with a side of chuckles. Whether it's male pattern baldness in women, hair splinters, or the genetic factors in different races, we've got you covered. And don't forget, if you're experiencing hair loss, it's always a good idea to seek medical help.
