WHY HAIR LOSS IS HAPPENING

(A simple explanation for patients)

Hair loss is rarely “just genetics.” It is almost always a signal that something upstream is off. Based on your health patterns and labs, hair thinning or balding is most commonly driven by three overlapping root causes:

1. Hormone Imbalance (Most Common Driver)

Hair follicles are extremely sensitive to hormones.

• Low testosterone or low free testosterone

  • Hair growth slows

  • Follicles miniaturize

• High DHT (a testosterone byproduct)

  • Shortens the hair growth phase

  • Causes classic thinning at temples and crown

• High estrogen relative to testosterone

  • Blocks hair follicle signaling

• High cortisol (stress hormone)

  • Pushes hair into shedding phase (telogen effluvium)

 This is why hair loss often shows up during stress, weight changes, hormone shifts, or after illness.

2. Nutrient Depletion (Quiet but Powerful)

Hair is a non-essential tissue. When nutrients are low, your body diverts them away from hair first.

Common deficiencies linked to hair loss:

• Zinc

• Biotin

• Iron (low ferritin, even if hemoglobin is “normal”)

• Protein and amino acids

• Essential fatty acids

• Iodine (thyroid related)

 Many patients are “in range” but not optimal for hair regrowth.

3. Gut + Liver Load

If digestion, absorption, or detox pathways are sluggish:

• Nutrients are not absorbed properly

• Hormones are recycled incorrectly

• Inflammation increases

This quietly worsens hair loss even if labs look “okay.”
