In today’s episode, Melissa and I discuss various causes and types of hair loss, emphasizing that hair loss is often a sign of underlying health issues rather than just a genetic predisposition.

Melissa teaches us about the different types of alopecia, including androgenetic alopecia, diffuse alopecia, alopecia areata, traction alopecia, and scarring alopecia. Melissa explains how each type presents itself in different areas of the head and is often linked to specific internal imbalances such as hormonal issues, nutrient deficiencies, and stress.

A significant portion of our discussion focuses on the importance of understanding the root causes of hair loss. Melissa highlight’s the role of various nutrients like vitamin D, B12, folate, iron, zinc, and magnesium in maintaining healthy hair. She also stresses the impact of liver function and gut health on nutrient absorption and overall hair health.

Melissa then touches on the common misconceptions about hair loss, particularly the belief that it is an inevitable part of aging. Melissa argues that while some decline in hair health can occur with age, many issues can be decreased by addressing underlying health problems and maintaining a balanced diet and lifestyle.

Whether you're experiencing hair loss yourself or simply interested in this topic, Melissa's expertise offers a great understanding of the factors that contribute to healthy hair.
