Philosophy

Hair loss is a metabolic problem, not a genetic inevitability. The bioenergetic view (Ray Peat framework) holds that hair loss signals hypothyroidism, elevated stress hormones, and suppressed metabolism. Pro-thyroid, anti-PUFA (polyunsaturated fats), pro-sugar (in proper metabolic context), anti-serotonin excess. The body deprioritizes hair when metabolically stressed. Optimize metabolism, optimize hair.

Key Contributions

Authored 'Hair Like a Fox' (pioneering book applying Ray Peat's bioenergetic principles to hair loss)
The Danny Roddy Weblog (long-running blog synthesizing health research)
YouTube channel and podcast (Generative Energy Podcast) popularizing bioenergetic health
Translated complex Ray Peat concepts into practical protocols for hair loss and metabolic health
Built significant following in bioenergetic/pro-metabolic nutrition community

Notable Books

Hair Like a Fox: A Bioenergetic View of Pattern Hair Loss

Notable Protocols

Pro-metabolic diet for hair loss: adequate calories, carbs from fruit/juice/honey, dairy, gelatin/collagen protein, low PUFAThyroid optimization (T3/T4 support)Mechanical stimulation: scalp massage, microneedlingStress hormone reduction protocolsAnti-PUFA approach (eliminate seed oils)Pro-sugar in context (not junk food, but fruit/honey/juice for metabolic fuel)

Institutional Response

No formal medical or scientific credentials (independent researcher/educator). Challenges mainstream dermatology and hair loss dogma (DHT-centric model). Pro-sugar stance controversial and misunderstood by conventional nutrition community. Relies heavily on Ray Peat's work, which itself is controversial and not widely accepted in mainstream medicine. Not a doctor, cannot prescribe treatments.
