ALOPECIA (HAIR LOSS)
Hair Loss in Men
Male pattern baldness can occur in men as early as 19, while some men may not notice hair loss until their 40s or 50s. Often, men experience hair loss due to genetic factors or because they have higher levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a form of testosterone that kills hair follicles. Alopecia may start with a receding hairline, or patches of hair may begin to go missing. For those men taking weekly injectable testosterone, elevated DHT may be a consequence leading to alopecia.
Some reasons alopecia can occur in men include:
- Aging
- Testosterone Elevation
- Medications
- Genetic factors
- Autoimmune Disorders
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP)
- Platelet-rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM)
- GHK-Cu Copper Peptide
Other treatments include Minoxidil and some newly developed Janus Kinase inhibitors, like Baricitinib. However, if you have a region lacking hair follicles, such as in male pattern baldness, none of the above treatments will work. Hair plugs are recommended for these clients.

Happy Victory Monday XII (Things)🤘
************ As we begin, I just want everyone to know... Texas WILL have the advantage in the Punting game this week, so let's all prepare to give Michael Kern a few flowers next week as the new year rings in.
Since Week 11,
Kern, UT: 58.8 PFF Grade, 40.1 YP/A, 35.2 NET - Long: 44 - Inside 20: 1
Floyd, ASU: 57.4 PFF Grade, 38.3 YP/A, 34.9 NET - Long: 45 - Inside 20: 4
This Peach Bowl has the makings of a doozy for special teams player from the Punters. The difference between Floyd and Kern comes down to the coverage unit, despite Floyd having a 0.04s worse hangtime, he has 0 returned punts on 12 attempts, while Kern has given up 5 returns for 42 yards on 17 attempts.
*********** The Texas Longhorns will have break the Record for MOST Players drafted by one team in an NFL Draft. Georgia holds the record with 15 in 2022, followed by Ohio State in 2004 and LSU in 2020 with 14. Michigan had 13 players drafted in 2024.

********** With a WIN on January 1st against Arizona State in the Peach Bowl, Texas will be the first team to have won all SIX New Year Six Bowl Games
- Cotton Bowl: 12-10 Record (Last Game: 2003 Win against LSU)
- Fiesta Bowl: 1-1 Record (Last Game: 2009 Win against Ohio State)

********* The Making of a National Champion in my mind is mostly straight-forward. While only two active coaches have won National Championships, a few others have coached in it, including Dan Lanning and Steve Sarkisian as coordinators and Ryan Day as a head coach.

******** Let's compare Tre Wisner to Cam Skattebo, RB from Arizona State since Week 11
Wisner: 31 first downs, 11 breakaway runs of 15+ yards, 3.25 yards after contact per attempt (6gm)
Skattebo: 30 first downs, 8 breakaway runs of 15+ yards, 4.49 yards after contact per attempt (4gm)
Blue: 15 first downs, 5 breakaway runs of 15+ yards, 4.85 yards after contact per attempt (6gm)
Texas is 10th in America with 104.2 rush yards/game allowed
Arizona State is 28th in America with 117.5 rush yards/game allowed
Texas has allowed the 8th least amount of carries of 10+ yards on defense: (40)
Arizona State has allowed the 58th least amount of carries of 10+ yards on defense: (54)
******* Trevor Goosby is bordering on an ELITE 2025 Season for Texas
- In Week 14, Goosby was called upon mid-game to replace All-American and future first-round pick Kelvin Banks for 30 snaps at Left Tackle, Goosby allowed 0 pressures, and 0 sacks while finishing with an 87.1 PFF Pass Blocking Grade.
- Against Clemson, Goosby replaced Cam Williams for 22 total snaps at Right Tackle, allowing 0 pressures, and 0 sacks while finishing with an 82.6 PFF Pass Blocking Grade
Goosby's run-blocking grades weren't quite on par with his pass protection, however when you talk to most offensive linemen, blocking downhill in the run game is amongst their favorite things to do, because it often involves moving as a unit and gives you the upper hand. The point being, that Goosby has done a great job at the hard part, defending Nic Scourton, Shemar Stewart, and T.J. Parker in two outings off of the bench is a great beginning to a career while working on both ends of the offensive line.
****** Quinn Ewers is the 3rd highest rated QB in the #CFP in NFL Passer Rating on Deep Throws since Week 11, behind just Leavitt(ASU) and Gabriel(Oregon)
***** FIVE Things I Want in 2025 for Christmas for the Texas Longhorns
- Back-to-Back Home Basketball Wins... January 7th (Auburn) and January 11th (Tennessee)
- A 6'5 330 lb Defensive Tackle or two, in the Spring.
- A Win at Ohio State on August 30th, 2025
- John Turntine III Signs with Texas on December 3rd, 2025
- An Arch Manning Heisman Trophy on December 13th, 2025
Just 17 points away from being the most prolific kicker in Texas football history? Maybe, at least since 2000.
- Auburn needs just 17 points to tie Cameron Dicker (386) for most points.
- Auburn and Justin Tucker are the only TWO kickers with a 100% extra-point rate, among all kickers with 20+ XPA.
*** On Saturday, Quinn Ewers (8,523) surpassed Major Applewhite (8,353) for 3rd most passing yards in Longhorns history. Ewers did it in 9 fewer games (34)
Ewers will finish his career as 3rd all-time in passing yards and passing touchdowns. 2nd all-time in Passing Efficiency Rating (147.6), only trailing Colt McCoy (155.0) and 2nd all-time in the percentage of attempts intercepted (2.1%), just behind Sam Ehlinger (1.8%)
** Texas has the "Best" Pass Rush Unit in the College Football Playoff since Week 11.
Among teams involved in the Playoff, Texas has 3 pass rushers inside the Top 11 with 4+ sacks. Not only sacks but also Colin Simmons is leading that group with 11 quarterback hits in that window. Penn State has two and Ohio State has three pass rushers in the Top 11 also.
* Texas has the No. 1 odds to win the National Championship, after Round 1.
