Dr. Sanusi Umar Launches The Baldcast
In an exciting development for those interested in health, wellness, and personal stories, Dr. Sanusi Umar has unveiled The Baldcast, a new podcast and video series that presents an in-depth look at the ongoing journeys of patients after their treatments. This innovative content serves as a companion to his previous work on The Bumpinator, extending the narrative beyond the typical clinical outcomes to explore the everyday realities faced by those undergoing treatment.
The Baldcast is set to premiere its first episode on October 20, 2025, with a trailer available now on Dr. Umar's YouTube channel. Each episode of this engaging series will run between 15 and 25 minutes, featuring heartfelt and candid conversations with patients and special guests about their recovery, resilience, and the rejuvenating process of starting anew.
While many traditional medical shows culminate in the moment of treatment, leaving audiences curious about the future, The Baldcast aims to fill that gap. It revisits patients months or even years after their procedures to inquire about the long-term effectiveness of their treatments. Have their conditions remained at bay? Did the results endure? How have their newfound confidence and relationships been impacted?
Dr. Umar highlights the authenticity and diversity of the patients featured in The Baldcast. The series explores various conditions, such as keloids, folliculitis decalvans, necrotizing cellulitis, cicatricial alopecias, and more severe hair loss scenarios. These medical challenges impact people across all backgrounds—from African American and Hispanic communities to Caucasians—underscoring the universal theme of hope and healing.
Produced primarily at Dr. U Hair and Skin Clinic, located in Manhattan Beach, California, the series thoughtfully captures the often-silent struggles of those living with visibly distressing conditions. Each episode portrays patients not just as subjects of a study, but as heroes who have shown immense courage by seeking help, adapting, and relentlessly seeking a path forward.
"Many of our guests have lived with pain, shame, and isolation for years," said Dr. Umar. "Their bravery in pursuing solutions and reclaiming their lives is what this series celebrates. Healing is not merely about medical treatment; it’s about rediscovering strength and the will to live fully again."
The Baldcast format is innovative, blending narrative interviews with poignant storytelling to provide a holistic view of recovery. It aspires to inspire listeners by revealing that healing is a journey rich with challenges and triumphs, rather than a mere procedure.
