Struggling with thinning hair? It might not be just genetics—your hormones could be calling the shots.
Hair loss in men is more than just a “male pattern baldness” issue—it’s often a sign of hormonal imbalance. Elevated dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent derivative of testosterone, can shrink hair follicles and shorten the growth phase of hair, leading to thinning and receding hairlines. Stress-driven cortisol imbalances and declining thyroid or growth hormone levels can further disrupt healthy hair cycles. The good news? Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) can help restore hormonal balance, protect follicles from DHT-related damage, and support thicker, fuller hair growth when combined with targeted testing and personalized treatment.
