hair loss at menopause is so tied to gut and inflammation, nobody says it 😕 i was shedding badly and nothing helped until my nutritionist told me to read Stop Feeding Disease by Mark Keller. my gut reset and my hair came back thicker. down 20lbs too, skin clearer, energy steady. my favourite one. this should be taught in school honestly.

Menopause took my hair and I felt invisible 😔 thin spots, handfuls in the brush, confidence gone. Practitioners said it was normal, I felt dismissed. Then someone online mentioned the book Balanced Woman Playbook written by Mira Wells. I read it and finally understood the root cause was my gut. Shedding stopped, 26 lbs gone, energy back. Feels like info women deserve, more should know.

Low ferritin, iron deficiency, anemia, unbalanced thyroid hormones can also cause hair thinning & hair loss. This was my case.

Great Ask Barbie question!
Such an eye opener for me!!! I did not know that the little testosterone my body still produces, caused hair loss! I, too, thought HRT caused hair loss. Now I know I need MORE!
I am on HRT and hope, one day, I will be allowed to take more to decrease hair thinning.

My hair was shedding so bad I cried in the shower 😢 felt like I was losing myself strand by strand and nobody had answers. Tried shampoos, oils, supplements, nothing worked. Then a woman in a hormonal group mentioned reading Balanced Woman Playbook by Mira Wells. It linked my gut and hormones to the shedding. 5 months later hair growing back, 24 lbs down, skin glowing. Why isn't this everywhere.

That was the best most educational video on hair loss i have watched, and I have listened to a lot! I was on the fence about starting Testosterone , based on this information, I will stay away from it for now. I heard from a Dermatologist that using Nizoral shampoo (for dandruff) can help block DHT. Have you heard of this Dr. Taylor?

Doing hormone replacement didn’t do a thing for stopping my hair from thinning. My thyroid hormone is fine too. I'm 72 now and I've always had fine thin hair but a lot of it but now I have very fine thinning hair.😢🤷‍♀️

As always, Dr Taylor is right!!! The only thing that worked for my hair loss & maddening itchy scalp was an estradiol patch. Thank you God for Dr Taylor!! 💚

Love love love your videos! You're so very good at teaching and simplifying these topics. I do have one question. How long does hair loss take to reverse once you begin HRT?

Does creatine supplements for women increase DHT ?
