🧬 Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome — when the body can’t respond to testosterone. In this short video, I explain how a defect in the androgen receptor leads to a patient who is genetically 46,XY but develops female external genitalia. High-yield points: ✔️ 46,XY genotype ✔️ Testes present but undescended ✔️ Female external genitalia blind vagina ✔️ No uterus or fallopian tubes ✔️ ↑ testosterone, ↑ LH, ↑ estrogen ✔️ Key cause: androgen receptor mutation 🎯 From my USMLE Step 1 Rapid Revision Cour

comment “PCOS” for my guides 🌿 Spearmint tea has been shown to gently lower circulating androgens, which is why it can be so effective for acne, hair loss, and other androgen-driven PCOS symptoms. This is not a quick fix. It is slow, regulatory support. 🐟 Omega-3s work on a different axis entirely. They reduce inflammatory signalling and blunt the conversion of testosterone into DHT, one of the key drivers behind cystic acne and blocked pores. Less inflammation. Less androgen activity at the s

How your PCOS hormones are talking to you!! Remember, there are multiple hormone imbalances driving PCOS symptoms. Here is what I do to balance two major PCOS hormone imbalances: 1) High androgens. These are your male hormones like testosterone. When they’re too high, you might notice large pores, hirsutism and unwanted hair growth, acne and hair loss. Spearmint tea and omega-3’s can help rebalance androgen levels 2) insulin resistance. This is when we cannot manage our blood sugar properly lead

Clascoterone is the newest topical anti-androgen therapy for hair loss that works by blocking DHT directly at the hair follicle, without affecting your body’s hormones. Unlike oral anti-androgens, it acts locally on the scalp, making it a safer, targeted option for androgenetic alopecia in both men and women when prescribed correctly. This science-backed treatment addresses the root cause of hair thinning and can be effectively combined with therapies like minoxidil, PRP, GFC, or exosomes for en

Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia) is not random hair fall — it is a genetically programmed, hormone-mediated process. Let’s decode it scientifically 👇 Hair follicles on the scalp have androgen receptors. In genetically predisposed individuals, these receptors are hypersensitive to DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) — a potent metabolite of testosterone formed by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. Here’s what actually happens: • Testosterone ⟶ (via 5-alpha reductase) ⟶ DHT • DHT binds strongly to

Facial hair in PCOS is caused by high levels of androgen hormones (such as testosterone and DHT). So, what supplements do we know help to lower androgen levels? 1) 2 cups of spearmint tea daily OR get a capsule version if you don't enjoy the tea or simply find capsules more convenient 2) Zinc (25mg) combined with saw palmetto (300mg) These 3 are a fantastic combination to help improve hirsutism. Now, as always, for best results these should always be part of a larger holistic PCOS plan, suppleme

In PCOS, insulin resistance directly contributes to hyperandrogenism, which can lead to symptoms such as hirsutism (excessive hair growth). This occurs because elevated insulin levels stimulate increased androgen production, particularly testosterone. Why Does This Happen? 👀 The process occurs through several interconnected mechanisms 👇🏼 1: Insulin resistance leads to chronically elevated insulin levels (hyperinsulinemia) 2: High insulin levels: Increase 5-alpha reductase activity 3: This wir

Because DHT is the main driver of hair follicle miniaturization. And unlike finasteride, dutasteride blocks both Type I and Type II 5-alpha reductase, leading to much more complete DHT suppression. Clinically, this means: • Stronger hair preservation • Slower follicle aging • Reduced androgen-driven scalp inflammation DHT also drives: • Tissue-specific inflammation • Excessive cellular turnover • Androgen-sensitive aging pathways Hormones are a network, not a switch.

Androgen insensitivity syndrome is a condition that affects sexual development before birth and during puberty. People with this condition are genetically male, with one X chromosome and one Y chromosome in each cell. Because their bodies are unable to respond to certain male sex hormones (called androgens), they may have mostly female external sex characteristics or signs of both male and female sexual development. https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/androgen-insensitivity-syndrome/ This
