Hair loss in women may be more common than you think!
Hair loss in women is becoming all too common, sometimes affecting women in their 30s or 40s.
Common reasons behind hair loss may include:
➖ Stress may lead to a “a hair blow out,” which can occur between four and twelve weeks following a stressful event such as a death, a divorce, an illness, a job change, etc.
➖ Thyroid issues – Hyperthyroid and Hypothyroid states.
➖ Estrogen, Testosterone or DHEA.
➖ Anemia, especially iron deficiency anemia, but also macrocytic anemia.
➖ Infections of the skin and scalp.
➖ Poor Digestive function.
➖ Inflammation – muscle pain, joint pain, and eating inflammatory foods.
➖ Blood sugar dysregulation. Blood sugar elevations will theoretically “gum-up” the tiny little capillaries in the scalp that nourish your hair follicles and prevent nutrients from reaching the hair follicles.
The good news is once the underlying cause of hair loss is identified, natural solutions for hair loss can be simple and effective, including:
✅ Eating a diet rich in nutrients, rich in fibre and high in vegetables.
✅ Eliminating or avoiding foods that cause reactions, as these increase inflammation and worsen hair loss.
✅ Incorporating topical treatments that you can practice at home a few times a week.
✅ Labs testing including CBC for a complete blood marker, Iron, or Comprehensive Dried Urine Hormone Test help to ascertain what the underlying cause of your hair loss.
✅ Taking vitamins and supplements, such as Zinc, Collagen powders, Bone Broth, Biotin and Silica, or Alpha lipoic acid.
If you are experiencing some form of hair loss, speak with your doctor to help determine the underlying cause is.
