Tim   

Hey, I’m doing good, brother. Thanks for having me on. I’m excited to share today.

Stu

Yeah, [00:01:30] me too. We’ve got lots of questions to get stuck into. But first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I’d love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

Tim

Yeah, absolutely man. So I grew up over in Eastern Oregon. So I’m over here in the states on a small cattle and hay farm. So that was a really good way to grow up. I feel like my parents and the people around there are good decent people and I learned a lot of common [00:02:00] sense. I was out in nature a lot. We had Hereford cattle. We did grass and alfalfa hay. And I had a great childhood, man, growing up outside as a kid. You don’t need a whole lot of toys. Nature is the playground. It’s pretty awesome.

his week, I'm excited to welcome Rob English to the podcast. Rob is a researcher, medical editor, and the founder of Perfect Hair Health, a website dedicated to showcasing evidence-based methods for hair regrowth with or without drugs.  Rob's interest in hair loss began in 2007,  right after he was diagnosed with androgenic alopecia. Since then, he spent thousands of hours researching hair loss – its causes, treatments, and misconceptions. He has distilled complex hair loss science into dozens of reader-friendly articles. He also published four peer-reviewed papers on androgenic alopecia: one on its pathology, one on an experimental therapy, one on methodological challenges faced while conducting biopsy research, and one systematic review.

Question about the episode

  • What factors cause hair loss?
  • Are natural therapies worth exploring?
  • What are the most common myths associated with healthy hair?

Rob is a researcher, medical editor, and the founder of Perfect Hair Health, a website dedicated to showcasing evidence-based methods for hair regrowth with or without drugs. [00:01:00] Rob's interest in hair loss began in 2007 right after he was diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia. Since then he's spent thousands of hours researching hair loss, its causes, treatments, and misconceptions. In this episode, we discuss the fundamental causes of hair loss, the common misconceptions, and the most effective treatment options. Over to Rob.

Stu

Hey guys, this is Stu from 180  Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Rob English to the podcast. Rob, how are you mate?

Rob

I'm doing great. Thanks for having me.

Stu

No. Well, look, thank you so much for agreeing to come on and having a chat. I know that we've got lots questions that people will be very, very intrigued to hear your take on, but first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

Rob

Sure. So I'm Rob English. I am a medical editor and I'm [00:02:00] a peer-reviewed researcher who specializes in hair loss disorders. So that can be anything from common hair loss disorders like androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium all the way toward less common hair loss types like alopecia areata, autoimmune forms of hair loss, scarring alopecias. And I'm also the founder of a website called Perfect Hair Health, which showcases evidence-based approaches for hair regrowth with the drug model, without the drug model. It doesn't really matter which path somebody takes. For me what matters [00:02:30] is their access to good information that they're not making any decisions that are rooted in their exposure to, I guess what I would describe asymmetrical information or cognitive dissonance.

And I'm also on the editorial board of a journal called Dermatology and Therapy. So that gives me insights into the peer review process. I could see what's coming down the pipeline in terms of different hair loss research, which interventional approaches are gaining more traction, and it also gives me this opportunity to converse with a bunch of different people in the hair loss community that are active researchers and have dedicated their careers to these things.

So it's a really fun experience overall. I guess what makes me a little unique compared to other people is that I'm on the editorial board of a dermatology journal. I have all of these peer-reviewed publications and I am not a technically trained academic. I didn't study anything related to hair loss in college. My interest in hair loss research, which later became my career, happened after college. [00:03:30]

And it all happened because of self-interest because back when I was 16 years old, I started to notice that my hair was thinning a little bit. 17 years old, went to a doctor who specializes in hair loss disorders. It was a transplant surgeon. They did this scalp exam on me and they told me that I was dealing with male-pattern hair loss and androgenetic alopecia.
And that it's this chronic and progressive hair loss disorder and that if you don't seek treatment for it, it just gets worse and that I'd likely be bald by 30, 35 years old [00:04:00] unless I did something about it. So obviously that was a warning signal that I probably need to focus a little bit more on my hair than other people because I was the only one at the time that I knew of even dealing with hair loss at such a young age. So it also kind of felt, I guess, emotionally isolating. So I got a prescription for this drug called finasteride. I was told to start using minoxidil twice daily. I opted into a clinical trial inside a clinic for low level laser therapy,

[00:04:30] which was super expensive at the time, but I was freaking out and wanted to do something.
And then I went home and like most people who are facing a very similar situation, I started to Google some of the things that I was trying and some of the drugs that I wanted to use and I ran into a bunch of bad information and misinformation about this heightened side effect risk of these drugs, which scared me away from trying things like finasteride and then led me down [00:05:00] this path where I was really desperate to find solutions outside of the drug model, or at least outside of hormonally modifying models that targeted hormones like DHT.
So that was really the basis of what got me into trialing different products, topicals, supplements, devices, treatments. And with each failure point, I became more and more interested in hair loss research until eventually when I went to college, I had access to all these medical journals, I could

[00:05:30] actually use the university library system to read full papers rather than just titles and abstracts, and that's really where my interest in hair loss research kind of exploded. So I felt like I kind of became this closet nerd for anything related to hair loss disorders.
And when I finally saw some success outside of the drug model, I started a website, Perfect Hair Health, to talk about some of those models and the evidence supporting them and some of the hypotheses. And then a few years later, I decided to start publishing papers about them.

[00:06:00] So the first paper was about a hypothetical pathogenesis model, which discussed some potentially underutilized treatment targets or interventional targets for androgenetic alopecia. The second paper was related to a potential intervention. The third paper was related to conflicting histological reports across investigation groups with the relationship between scarring and inflammation and prostaglandin activity of androgenetic alopecia patients. The fourth has been a literature review and we have a fifth and peer review right [00:06:30] now that is focused on microneedling and it's use in hair loss disorder. So wound healing. And that's a big interest of mine.

And so that's kind of what I do and how I fell into this type of work and what I do in a day to day. I manage a very small research team right now dedicated toward pumping out different manuscripts related to hypotheses, letter to editors, literature reviews, and I get to engage on a regular basis with hair loss investigation groups. So it's a lot of fun for me and I like talking about it.

Stu                                    

No. Well at the pleasure's all mine. Now I would imagine that the majority of our audience will have heard of you, but first up for those that haven't. I wondered... I'd love it if you could just tell me a little bit about yourself, please.

Steven

 Oh, gosh. No, that'd take the entire 45 minutes. So I'm a world famous heart surgeon that just over 20 years ago, saw a gentleman reverse inoperable coronary artery disease by changing his diet and taking some supplements from a health food store. And it was the most amazing thing I ever saw. Didn't believe it could happen, but saw it with my own eyes. So I actually experimented on myself and my patients. I resigned my prestigious chairmanship of heart surgery at Loma Linda University and open clinics where I teach people how to eat. And now 80% of my practice is autoimmune diseases that have defied treatment. And so whatever anybody comes in with. So we usually have a good time. Now we'll go-

- What type of diet do you believe to be the most beneficial for our heart?
 
 

This week I’m excited to welcome Dr. Stephen Hussey back to the show. Dr. Hussey is a Chiropractor, Functional Medicine Practitioner, and Online Health Coach. He’s the author of  a new book called Understanding the Heart: Uncommon Insights into Our Most Commonly Diseased Organ.

Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Dr. Steven Hussey back to the podcast. Dr. Hussey, how are you?

Dr Stephen Hussey

(01:22)

I’m doing great. How are you?

Stu

(01:23)

Yeah, really good. really good. I’m very excited about the conversation today. I think our listeners are going to get a huge amount out of this as well. But first up for all of those that perhaps didn’t listen to our first conversation and are not familiar with you, I’d love it if you can just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

Dr Stephen Hussey

(01:43)

Yeah. So I live in the States. I am a Chiropractor and Functional Medicine Doctor. And I do mostly neuromusculoskeletal stuff in my clinical practice, but I also do a lot of nutrition and I have a master’s in nutrition and functional medicine. And I do a lot of metabolic health and things like that. And as a child I had a lot of inflammatory conditions I would say. Everything from IBS to chronic hives, to asthma, to terrible allergies and things ultimately ended up with type 1 diabetes, autoimmune, my body attack my pancreas and I no longer make insulin.

Dr Stephen Hussey

(02:27)

And that kind of sent me on this path to health. Over time, I started to find out that the way I lived my life had an impact on how I could manage type 1 diabetes. I’d also been told by many physicians that having that I was predisposed to heart disease two to four times increased risk. And so that spurred this, I guess, passion for figuring out how to mitigate heart disease the best I could and also how to manage type 1 the best I could.

Dr Stephen Hussey

(02:58)

And so I’ve just been this, I don’t know, I get a little obsessed with finding those things and obsessed with researching. Because I got a chiropractic education and a master’s in nutrition and I still didn’t feel satisfied and I just wanted to know more and dig in deep. And so that’s what I’ve been doing and I recently wrote this book. I wrote a book before but this is my second book called Understanding the Heart. And it’s just everything that I’ve come to learn about the heart and I’m pretty excited about it.

Questions asked in the episode
 
  • How might we know if our pain is normal or if we should see a medical professional?
  • What strategies do you recommend for managing chronic pain?
  • When should we use ice for pain as some say this strategy is outdated?

https://180nutrition.com.au/

This week, I'm excited to welcome Dr. Amy Baxter to the podcast. Dr. Baxter is a double-boarded pediatric emergency physician, and now CEO of Pain Care Labs with a mission to eliminate unnecessary pain. She invented and patented VibraCool, vibrating cryotherapy to treat tendonitis and decrease opioid use, and her Buzzy device has been used to control needle pain for over 32 million needle procedures.

In this episode, we discuss the topic of pain management using tools and techniques, including vibration, heat, cold and mindset. Over to Dr. Baxter. Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition, and I'm delighted to welcome Dr. Amy Baxter to the podcast. Dr. Baxter, how are you?

Amy

01:41

I am doing wonderfully this afternoon for me and morning for you.

Stu

01:45

Yes. Yeah. Connecting via the internet once again. Thank you so much for sharing some of your time today. But, first up, for all those that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

Amy

01:58

Sure. I am a pediatric emergency doctor by training. I did most of my clinical work in any areas of suffering. So I did a child abuse fellowship, I did pediatrics, I did research in nausea, I invented the BARF scale for children with cancer to be able to say, "That barfing face, that's the one I feel like." Now I am a full-time CEO of a medical device company that blocks out sharp pain.

Stu

02:27

Wow, fantastic. Well, interesting topic then because pain is very personal, it's very unique to the individual.

I guess first question then when talking about pain, many of us will be subject to pain throughout our days, weeks, lives, whether it be headache, sports injury, leading to perhaps more serious complications where pain is involved. How might we know if our pain is normal, i.e., "Oh, it's just a headache," or we should see a medical professional?

So if I go back, oh, about 10 years, I could start there and say that I found myself with some peculiar symptoms, shaking and fatigue and getting very burnt out and went into the doctor and had some tests done. And I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. So 2010, 45 years old, and that's when I got to work on questioning, what can I do about this? I don't want to jump into pharmaceuticals. I want to see what I can do with lifestyle. And lo and behold, I tested 12 months later and I had reversed it. So what I was doing was working and that of course felt phenomenal. And I had an aha moment. And then I went on to teach workshops and coach folks and transitioned from going towards psychotherapy into holistic health education, which I had been really studying for most of my life.

I published a book on it in 2019, Wave Goodbye to Type 2 Diabetes. It was endorsed by Dr. Christian Northrup. And then here we are today and talk about I'm opening Ditch the Sugar Academy and working with folks one-on-one and really focusing in on sugar addiction.
