finasteride and training

Hi,

First of all, thanks for putting out all the great content. Will the training vlogs return?

I’m a 25 year old male and unfortunately I’ve been suffering from male pattern hair loss. It’s starting to become more noticeable and I was looking at treatment options. I read about the possible effectiveness of finasteride, but also a lot of horror stories (irreversible impotence). I read up on some of the research and it seems safe but I don’t think I have enough knowledge to interpret it correctly. I have two questions:

  1. Do you think it’s safe to use?
  2. Is it possible that reduced DHT levels will impact training outcomes?
  1. All medications have the potential for adverse effects. In general, however, it is not considered to be a “high-risk” medication and seems to be well tolerated by patients.

  2. I do not think you should be concerned with this.
