People ask me if there will be CRISPR for gray hair in 10 years. Here is what already works.

It's curious how we focus on future therapies when so much can already be achieved with what exists.

People ask me if there will be a CRISPR for gray hair in 10 years.

The question comes from a news item. The FDA has accepted for priority review lonvo-z, from Intellia: the first CRISPR therapy that edits genes inside the body.

It is a single infusion that stops the liver from producing the protein that triggers hereditary angioedema attacks.

In phase 3, the average number of attacks dropped by 87% compared to a placebo. The decision is expected on March 10, 2027.

It works because the objective is clean: one gene, one protein, one disease.

Gray hair is not like that. There is no broken gene to correct. Hair loses its color when the stem cells that produce pigment in the follicle are depleted or stop doing their job. Genetics and age play a role, but so does what happens to that follicle every day.

And here is the interesting part: it is not always irreversible.

In a study published in eLife in 2021, Martin Picard's team measured color along individual hairs, as if each hair were a tape recording the months. They found gray hairs that had regained color from the root in 11 healthy individuals.

In specific cases, greying coincided with periods of stress and the return of color with calmer times. Their model suggests that there is a threshold: hairs that are close to it can go back and forth.

Important nuances. There are few people, the stress was self-reported, and it is an association, not proof of cause. It also doesn't talk about gray hair from 20 years ago, but rather those that are on the edge.

That is why my answer is this. CRISPR for gray hair will not arrive soon. But you can already try to reverse gray hair with the protocol that has evidence.

What I do:

• I take care of my sleep and chronic stress, which is the lever indicated by the study.
• I check vitamin B12, ferritin, and thyroid levels in blood tests: their deficiencies and alterations are associated with premature graying.
• I don't smoke: tobacco is also associated with turning gray sooner.

Your 1% improvement today. Compound benefit that accumulates.

Walk for 10 minutes a day without your phone and request B12, ferritin, and TSH in your next blood test.

This is what I cover in the Gray Hair and Wrinkle Protocol: what pushes a follicle toward greying and what I do to avoid giving it reasons, starting with stress, sleep, and blood tests.

Remember that I now sell only ONE access to the Gray Hair and Wrinkle Protocol per day.

The price is set by a Dutch auction.

It drops throughout the day.
