The older you are, the wiser you are, but regrettably with age also comes hair loss. Hair loss is also known as alopecia scientifically, and for a long time scientists have been attempting to cypher out why normal, healthy people sometimes lose their hair in specific areas or shapes. Today, a innovative genetic test has been developed to ascertain the risk of hair loss or thinning in those who have not yet experienced the discouraging signs of alopecia. This genetic test is called HairDX, and it’s changing the way men and women comprehend with hair loss.

At the moment the only FDA approved treatments for hair loss are successful in clinical trials at persevering existing hair rather than re-growing new hair. Dependent on your HairDX results, you can easily preserve your existing hair rather than waiting for the first signs of hair loss, then hastily trying to re-grow hair at a smaller success rate.

Obtainable only at Advanced Hair Studio, HairDX can give at-risk patients for hair loss a head start at preserving their existing hair. The HairDX test is painless and is ideal for men and women at least 18 years of age. A trained professional at Advanced Hair Studio simply collects a genetic information sample from the inside of the patients cheek via a swab. The results are analyzed and returned to the doctor in a secure, private manor.

Results from HairDX are invaluable to those who are worried about losing their hair. Test results show whether or not your genes show a specific variant in the androgen receptor gene (AR), which is the cause for alopecia. Test results are clear and easy to understand: Men who test positive for the variant AR gene have an approximately 70% chance of developing Male Pattern Hair Loss (MPHR). Conversely, men who test negative for the variant AR gene have approximately a 70% chance of not developing MPHR. Test results are determined differently for women.

My hair loss treatment journey started the day I started to notice my thinning hair and my bald spot becoming bigger. The most obvious thing to do was to find ways to comb my hair to cover my bald spot. I noticed myself wearing more hats on the weekends as I went out with my wife, friends or family. Of course at work I could not wear hats so it was an unpleasant experience each morning for me just to walk in the office. Your thinking changes when you are suffering from hair loss. It is so true that you never know what you have until you lose it. That can be accurate about your hair loss.

Having suffered from hair loss, I began to treasure every strand of hair that I had left. It was as if with each individual hair I lost, so was a small part of my self-confidence gone as well. A mate of mine had the same problem as me. I noticed lately that he appeared so much more relaxed and it appears as though his hair was growing back. I never wanted to bring it up but after a while I decided to ask. That is when I was recommended to Advanced Hair Studio. My friend Josh told me that he had only had a few treatments and has already started to see some results, he not only regained his hair, but his confidence as well. I decided to give Advanced Hair a try as after all I had a lot to lose, meaning my hair and self-assurance.

I was a little skeptical at first. But within a few weeks the results were . Not only on my head, but in my attitude. I began feeling better about myself and started to lose the hats on the weekends. My wife who has been complaining about my lack of interest in our relationship began to notice the change in that department as well. It is amazing how just a few visits to the Advanced Hair Studio had begun to change my life as a whole. I have constantly been cynical about people discovering my bald spot. Now, I am not frightened to look people in the eyes again as I have my full set of self esteem back.

Advance Hair Studio has not only given me back my hair, but a big chunk of my life as well. So, if anyone is experiencing hair loss I highly recommend them. Don’t let your self-assurance continue to be lost with your hair.

People often get troubled about their monthly budget, not overseeing your monthly budget can can position you in to further in debt if you are not aware. Overseeing your budget the right way has many benefits including saving you money and help relief some of your stress over debt. Always keep in mind that a budget is mainly a plan for your monthly spending. A budget, like any programme, demands some level of management to achieve a successful outcome. The way I manage my budget, for example, is by focusing on maintaining information organised and controlling my expenditure.

My main focus is on coordinating the information in my budget. For example, I keep track of running expenses like utilities, car and mortgage repayments, insurance, and the like. Consider that without coordinating my budget, I can very easily lose track of my spending. By knowing what expenditures repeat every month, I have an imminent hold on the minimum amount of money I have to put away each month before I spend on other things I can control a little more such as entertainment, apparel, and vacations.

To make a financial advancement, I make sure that I monitor my spending tightly in my budget. A genuine measure of advancement is putting money into a savings account or paying down debt. However, if I over spend, the contrary is true because instead of saving money I will use debt to help me cover the monthly expenses in my budget. Clearly, giving in to the tensions of budgeting can have costly consequences for my finances, specially if I am unable to pay down my debt.

There are two benefits for moderating and organizing my budget: First, I save money by fending off unnecessary expenditure. Second, my finances are headed at reaching financial goals. Fundamentally, by not buying things I do not need, I am actually freeing up money that I can either use for something else or save. The extra money can also be useful in paying off debt or keeping it for a holiday. In addition to having extra money, it will also allow me to establish longer term financial goals like saving and investing for retirement or paying off my mortgage or student loans. With my budget being coordinated and controlled, not only does my financial situation become more stable but successfully overseeing my budget reduces the stress that often comes with being in debt.

How does one become a butterfly?

You must want to fly so much that you are

willing to give up being a caterpillar.

I was talking with my good friend Tom Hanson the other day and the topic of “choice vs. chance” came up. Tom is a sports psychology coach (you can see all about him at www.FocusedBaseball.com) who has an extensive history of working with professional baseball players to improve their “mental game”.

In our conversation Tom was telling me that he coached his players to hit by choice, not by chance. When I asked him more of what he meant by this, he explained that he mentally prepared his players to have an attitude of success every time they stepped up to the plate.

In doing so, they felt like they had more control over the outcome of their hitting, and were more confident of their abilities. The other players, however, who hit more by chance, felt more “victimized” by slumps of little or no hits.

And so by now you are probably wondering what this has to do with you, right??!! Please read on…

We live daily in a very similar way as these two types of baseball attitudes: we make choices, and therefore have some power, input, and control over our lives; or we default to chance, which then allows other forces, circumstances, and/or people to have influence over our lives.

The former choice model is certainly a more empowering model of self-actualization, whereas the latter chance model invites dependency, loss of identity, and a “victim” mentality that points blame at external forces for the outcome of one’s life.

So the next really big question is: What the heck does any of this have to do with butterflies? Please, continue to read on…

The caterpillar probably has very little choice about becoming a butterfly, as that process is very instinct driven. And perhaps as well when it takes its first leap and expands its wings into the new frontier of flying.

But imagine for just a moment that you were that transformed caterpillar with those brand new not-yet-flown wings. Would you choose to leap and soar into that wonderful (and perhaps a bit scary) new dimension, or would you simply wait to let it happen (or not) by chance?

Furthermore, what if everyone told you that you were still a caterpillar and that you would never be able to fly…would you believe them? Or, would you listen to that small inner voice that beckoned you to take the leap and soar into your true essence? Would you make a self-empowered choice or would you take a chance that maybe everyone else was correct?

So now that you see the correlation between butterflies and baseball (I know…it’s a stretch, but I bet it’s first for you!!), the real question comes back to you: How will you live; by choice or by chance?

Naturally, my bias for you is for you to choose choice. In doing so you receive all the benefits of blazing your own trail as you march to the beat of your own drum. In other words, you get to be you, totally expressed and 100%…You get to live on the path of empowerment…You get to hit home runs…You get to fly…

It’s your choice..
