Importance of Dimorphism in Your Face and How to Improve It
In this video, the importance of dimorphism in facial attractiveness is discussed, along with tips on how to improve it.
Dimorphism and Its Significance
- Dimorphism refers to specific traits that distinguish males from females.
- Sexual dimorphism plays a role in determining attractiveness.
- Masculine dimorphic features include bone mass, facial leanness, deep-set eyes, a big mandible with a prominent chin, a sloped forehead with a pronounced brow ridge, a strong nose bridge and wider nose, high cheekbones, thick neck with an Adam's apple, and facial hair.
- Feminine dimorphic features include more angelic-like eyes with higher-placed eyebrows, a rounded forehead with less pronounced brow ridge, a weaker jaw with a smaller chin, a smaller nose bridge causing the tip of the nose to protrude more, thin neck without an Adam's apple or barely visible.
Spectrum of Dimorphism
- Dimorphism exists on a spectrum between femininity and masculinity.
- The more masculine features for males and feminine features for females contribute to perceived attractiveness.
Hormonal Influence on Dimorphism
- Sex hormones play a significant role in determining dimorphic features.
- Testosterone and DHT (dihydrotestosterone) are dominant sex hormones for males.
- Estrogen and progesterone are dominant sex hormones for females.
- Higher levels of testosterone and DHT result in more masculine facial characteristics for males.
- Becoming healthier can increase the production of sex hormones according to gender.
Boosting DHT for Masculine Features
- Instead of focusing solely on boosting testosterone levels, it is recommended to focus on increasing DHT levels for more masculine facial features.
- DHT has up to 10 times stronger effects than testosterone.

This section discusses the importance of specific nutrients and minerals for hormone optimization, including amino acids, B vitamins, and boron. It also mentions the potential effects of stimulants like caffeine and nicotine on hormones.
Nutrients for Hormone Optimization
- Amino acids, especially those found in meat on the bone, grass-fed gelatin, and shellfish, are important for hormone optimization. However, it is advised not to consume excessive amounts of pure muscle meat as it may lower glycine levels.
- B vitamins like B3 and B6 are crucial for hormone balance but can be depleted when cooked. Consuming some animal foods raw or trying variations of raw meat can help maintain adequate B vitamin levels.
- Boron is a lesser-known mineral that has significant effects on hormones. It can lower estrogen levels in males by 39% and increase DHT by 10%. Dried fruits such as raisins, dried prunes, and dried apricots are rich sources of boron.
Stimulants and Hormones
- Caffeine and nicotine have positive effects on DHT but should be used in very moderate amounts due to their addictive nature.
- Caffeine and nicotine consumption is recommended only once a week to avoid dependence.

This section focuses on female dimorphism and the role of estrogen and progesterone in maintaining hormonal balance. It highlights common causes of estrogen excess in females and suggests dietary changes to address this imbalance.
Female Dimorphism
- Female dimorphism involves multiple hormones rather than a single one. Estrogen and progesterone play key roles in maintaining hormonal balance.
- Excess estrogen is a common issue among females, leading to imbalances with progesterone. Identifying and eliminating the causes of excess estrogen is crucial.
- The use of birth control is a significant cause of excess estrogen and should be avoided for those concerned about their health.
- Carrying excess fat can lead to aromatization, where testosterone converts into estrogen. Reducing body fat levels can help prevent this process.
- Certain foods can increase or mimic estrogen in the body, such as soy, seed oils, and flaxseed. It is recommended to decrease or eliminate the consumption of these foods.
- Consuming foods high in boron, like carrots, can help lower estrogen levels. Raw carrots contain a specific fiber that binds to endotoxins in the gut.
