The carnivore diet may help lower background inflammation and normalize the hair cycle, potentially improving telogen effluvium.

◐Partially SupportedThe best-case results for finasteride show significant hair density improvement over two years in a small percentage of responders.

◐Partially SupportedThe carnivore diet may influence hair loss by affecting the DHT pathway.

◐Partially SupportedFinasteride may increase hair count by 10% over two years for hair loss.

◐Partially SupportedDiet primarily negatively regulates hair loss outcomes by exacerbating inflammation and nutrient deficiencies, and a nutrient-replete diet can only slow progression, not stop or reverse pattern hair loss.

✕Not SupportedA news channel investigation showed finasteride taken for a year resulted in minimal change for hair loss responders, with photographic evidence potentially manipulated.

◐Partially SupportedRed meat is one of the least allergenic foods.

◐Partially SupportedIndividuals on carnivore diets may not exhibit clinical manifestations of serum nutrient deficiencies despite experiencing them.
