You can learn more about the Biochemical Report Card here.

Dr Nettles discovered that hair loss is not a condition which can be treated, but instead is a symptom telling your body that something is not right inside.

He found the only way to effectively and permanently treat hair loss is to first diagnose all the factors causing the problem and then treat those. Only then can hair be successfully regrown.

And no matter how much we want the solution to not include having to take pills, for most people the reality is that's just not possible.   Watch this episode to see Chef Jay and Dr Ray discuss why not.

Many people believe that stopping hair loss and regrowing hair is as simple as taking a daily capsule and applying a topical and that will enable them to regrow hair.

There is unfortunately no such thing as a miracle hair regrowth treatment or magic product that can regrow your hair without you putting in some work too.

What Dr Nettles as discovered is that hair loss is actually a symptom caused in most cases by an underlying genetic defect made worse by poor nutrition and environmental factors.  While Dr Nettles program will resolve the genetic issues - only the client themselves can implement the recommendations regarding nutrition and environment.

Hair loss is not a disease but a cosmetic symptom of something deeper inside.

Why not age optimally and disease free if we can?

This week Chef Jay and dR Ray continue their discussion on how the first law of thermodynamics impacts hair loss.

Did you know that the body is made up of all 92 elements, around 50 different enzymes, 200 types of cells and 4,429 molecules / biochemicals?

While you can't block or stop biochemicals, they can act like transformers and change into other biochemicals or shapes within our bodies.

Repairing the defective enzymes that many of us inherit from our parents not only resolves imbalances in our DHT levels, but also 6 other hormones/biochemicals that cause us problems.

In this episode Chef Jay asked Dr Ray about the first law of thermodynamics and what that has to do with treatment of hair loss? 



Spoiler alert - it explains why it's not even possible to block DHT and why taking any medicine without looking at blood work is a terrible idea.

Plus you'll learn why an elephant is not a fish!

Have you ever wondered about hair fibers?  You may have heard of the market leading brand Toppik and Xfusion are the market leading brands, also there are: Febron, Infinity, Samson, Cuvva and more. Sephora and Ulta also have hair fibers too.

In this week's episode, Jay asks Dr Ray the question: what are hair fibers and what are they really good for?

There are a lot of misconceptions about transplants.  Yes, they do move hair from unaffected areas to areas where you want more hair.  But there is more to it than that.  Plus they don't stop more hair loss, or the underlying causes of hair loss.

Listen on and learn the truth about why hair restoration is not the answer to your hair loss woes.

Hair loss is a symptom of deeper underlying problems, and unless you treat and resolve those, no solution is going to effectively regrow and keep your hair long term

So it turns out treating hair loss is not that easy.

A lot of big companies have tried and failed.

Dr Nettles however started at a young age, while even a child in fact.  After seeing first his father start to bald and then older brothers, he realized that genetics must be involved and wrote a thesis paper on genetics while still in high school.

Dr Nettles is a medical doctor and ex-hair transplant surgeon who has also worked in dermatology, ophthalmology and cosmetic surgery.  He has studied biochemistry, genetics and endocrinology.  Plus he also has a masters in human behavior.

During medical school he completed all his math's and science subjects while in his first year and so turned to other areas of research to fill his time.

While many people inherit the genetics which cause their hair to thin and bald, not everyone's cause of hair loss is the same.

In fact, what Dr Nettles has found is that for most people hair loss is different.  Each of us is unique. 

The only way to really tell for sure exactly what is causing your hair loss and why is through the Biochemical Report Card blood tests.

From those results Dr Nettles can create a personalized treatment program that will treat all the underlying causes of hair loss found and then regrow your own natural hair.  Every time.

Do you know what your A1C number is?

If not, how do you know how much you can indulge?

The Biochemical Report Card will identify your numbers so that Dr Nettles can recommend the right choices to make for improved health, hair and your life!

Not only does the right nutrition assist with hair regrowth, but it also prevents diseases such as heat disease and diabetes.

The answer is in your blood.

What are your numbers?

Does Stop and Regrow work for genetic Hair Loss? The answer is YES! It works Every Time.

Genetic hair loss, also called male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia affects 80% of men and 40% of women.

It's been a long time coming, but there is now an effective treatment from Dr Nettles and Stop and Regrow. 

Watch to learn more about genetic hair loss and how we can now confirm your diagnosis through blood tests and create an effective treatment program for you.



Chef Jay & Dr Ray take a deep dive into how nutrition impacts hair and our overall health.  You are what you eat cannot be truer. If you don't bring in the right foods you cannot grow hair or remain healthy, even your immune system is made of protein. 

Think of each hair follicle as a little hair factory that wants to make hair 24 hours per day, however if it doesn't have enough of the right ingredients/supplies it cannot produce hair.

Unfortunately hair is the last thing that our body will allocate protein to if it doesn't have enough to go around.

Many people consider hair transplants, otherwise known as hair restoration, to be a viable treatment option for hair loss.

In this week's episode Chef Jay asks Dr Nettles - a former hair transplant surgeon himself the questions your hair transplant surgeon won't answer - how they really work, how long they last, how much density is possible, how much damage do they do to your existing hairs, and the age-old question: 

Does a hair transplant Stop Hair Loss?

Watch on and find out more to learn the truth!

Spoiler alert - this video contains before and after pictures of Dr Nettles himself.

Many men have experienced or heard about side effects from the most common hair loss treatment regimen Finasteride and Minoxidil, so today's question is - Does Stop and Regrow use those ingredients and does Stop and Regrow have side effects?

Stop and Regrow takes a different approach to hair regrowth.  We are not actually treating hair loss.  Hair loss is simply a cosmetic symptom of a deeper biochemical imbalance caused by multiple factors.  We first identify all those factors and then treat those.  We do not use old ineffective hair loss treatments like propecia/finasteride or minoxidil/rogaine which  operate at the cellular level.  Instead Dr Nettles program treats defects at the molecular level, restoring both healthy balance and healthy hair.

A question we get commonly from people interested in regrowing their own natural hair is about whether the Stop and Regrow hair regrowth program is permanent.

In this video Dr Ray answers the question for people who have at least a component of hereditary hair loss also called androgenetic alopecia or male/female pattern baldness.

Part of the Stop and Regrow program works by repairing enzymes with genetic defects which our bodies make on a daily basis.  This gives us the opportunity to also repair those on a daily basis to provide optimal health.  Besides keeping healthy hair, many of our clients also report more energy, better sleep, more focus, weight loss, improved libido and more.

Dr Nettles created his Biochemical Report Card to identify all the different factors which contribute to hair loss.  It's a much more comprehensive set up blood tests (over 104 tests in total  across 9 panels) than you annual physical that measures all the biomarkers which contribute to hair loss.

It is not covered by medical insurance aimed at reducing costs and reactively treating symptoms.  Stop and Regrow is a precision medicine program aimed at improving your overall health and wellbeing. 

At Stop and Regrow we believe that you can't treat anything without an accurate diagnosis.  And while we have found that most people do have a least a component of hereditary hair loss, there are multiple factors which contribute to hair loss and it's not the same for everyone.

Dr Nettles created his Biochemical Report Card suite of labs tests to identify all the different factors which contribute to hair loss and then overlays with his algorithm to create a personalized program to first stop all the underlying causes and then regrowth nice thick health hair.

No hair regrowth treatment will be effective long term if you have not first stopped ALL the underlying causes of your hair loss.
