Hair loss is one of the most misunderstood medical issues in America, and according to Fort Lauderdale hair transplant surgeon Dr. Brett Bolton, the truth is far more straightforward than most people realize. For men, he says 99.999% of hair loss is purely genetic male-pattern hair loss — not stress, diet, or lifestyle. If a man is thinning, he inherited it. Period. The gene can come from either side of the family and may skip several generations. Women face a more complex picture. Dr. Bolton explains that hormonal shifts, thyroid issues, pituitary disorders, collagen vascular conditions, and other systemic factors can all trigger loss. A trained eye can immediately determine whether a woman is developing male-pattern recession — a genetic pattern typically visible at the hairline.

Dr. Otis Brawley of Johns Hopkins shares his insight about cancer screening, focusing on prostate cancer. Dr. Brawley explains that while prostate cancer is common and serious, evidence supporting routine PSA screening is limited and inconsistent, leading major organizations to recommend shared decision-making between doctors and patients rather than universal screening. Men of Northwestern Sub-Saharan African ancestry have higher risk, but outcomes are equal across groups when high-quality care is provided, highlighting that disparities stem mainly from access to care, not biology.
