Description

Hair loss is not one problem, and that is exactly why so many women waste time and money treating it the wrong way. In this episode, Chalene Johnson breaks down the two most common types of hair loss in women, what may actually be causing thinning or shedding hair, and why your ferritin levels could be a major missing piece. She also walks through the science backed hair loss treatments that actually work, including minoxidil, scalp care, prescription options, and higher end treatments like red light therapy and PRP. Plus, she calls out the popular hair growth products and remedies that may be more hype than help.
