Finasteride, Side Effects, Thinning Hair & Hair Loss Reality — Full Conversation with Tom Gillbanks

In today’s long-form conversation, Tom Gillbanks and I sit down for a brutally honest, insightful, and often funny deep dive into hair loss, finasteride, identity, social media, and what it’s really like navigating male pattern baldness in 2025. Tom opens up about his own hair-loss journey, the pressure that comes with being an influencer, and how his views on finasteride, side effects, and long-term treatment have evolved. I share my story too — from losing my hair in the 90s, early transplant mistakes, unnatural hairlines, and how those experiences shaped the work I do today advising patients. If you’re considering treatment, already on medication, or simply want the truth behind the industry… this is the episode to watch. 🎧 WHAT WE COVER 00:00 – Coming Up Trailer A fast-paced look at what’s inside this episode. 04:20 – Introduction Why we’re doing this conversation and what you can expect. 05:00 – Tom’s start on social media How his channels began, how they evolved, and the pressure behind the screen. 08:10 – Tom’s hair-loss story When he first noticed thinning and how it affected him. 11:55 – David’s early hair loss My own story from the 90s — panic, identity, and no good options at the time. 12:35 – Tom begins finasteride His initial fears, expectations, and what happened next. 16:05 – The finasteride deep dive Side effects • Myths around “feminising” men • Tom’s experience today • How his audience influenced his thinking • Long-term finasteride effectiveness 21:05 – Tom’s full hair-loss regime What he uses, what he’s tried, and what actually works for him. 23:45 – David’s experience with finasteride 20 years of use, what changed for me, and why I still recommend it. 24:45 – 1990s vs today Back then your choice was: lose your hair or lose your sex drive.
