I've been hearing mixed opinions about whey protein and its link to hair loss. My dermatologist told me that my hair loss might be due to whey protein, but most of my friends who also take it haven't had any issues. Could you advise if it's really safe to keep consuming whey protein?

Whey protein is generally safe, but excessive consumption may potentially contribute to hair loss due to increased dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, although more research is needed to confirm this link.

I'm really struggling with flaky dandruff and it's been going on for about a year now. I've tried using selsun and fungiside shampoos twice a week, but they haven't helped at all. Could you give me some advice on what else I might try?

Flaky dandruff that is not responding to over-the-counter shampoos may require a stronger treatment. I recommend trying a shampoo containing ketoconazole, such as Nizoral. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks. If there is still no improvement, you may need a prescription-strength shampoo or medication from a dermatologist.
