Hair Loss in Perimenopause: The Real Causes + What Actually Works | Dr. Jordan Robertson

In this very personal episode with Lori Kennedy and her guest, Dr. Jordan Robertson, they share their own stories with losing their hair, cutting it and showing up anyways.
Dr. Robertson breaks down the age-related science behind why women's hair changes so dramatically during perimenopause and what you can actually do about it. If you've been noticing more hair in your shower drain, a widening part, or thinning at your temples, this episode is for you.

Dr. Robertson explains the hormonal cascade that affects hair during perimenopause, including how declining estrogen and rising DHT (dihydrotestosterone) literally shrink your hair follicles. She also reveals why critical nutrients like zinc and vitamin D are often overlooked in traditional hair loss treatment, and how deficiencies in these can accelerate thinning.
