34. Midlife Hair Loss Decoded: The Gut-Liver-Hormone Axis


Listen Later

What if your hair loss isn’t just a cosmetic issue but a clue your body is asking for deeper support?

In this episode, I open up about my own journey with hair loss—what triggered it, how I healed it, and the protocols I use with patients going through the same thing. From low ferritin to blood sugar swings, thyroid patterns to stress responses, we walk through why midlife hair loss happens and what you can do to support regrowth (from the inside out).


Whether you’re seeing more hair in the shower drain or feeling like your strands just don’t feel like “you” anymore, this episode will help you decode the deeper connections and start your healing path with clarity and compassion.


In this episode, we cover:

  • 01:03 My personal story with hair loss and how it shaped my healing approach
  • 04:31 Why midlife hair loss is often a deeper health signal, not just cosmetic
  • 10:51 The role of low iron (especially ferritin) and thyroid patterns in hair thinning
  • 16:58 How gut health and nutrient absorption impact hair growth
  • 19:21 The connection between stress, blood sugar, and hair loss
  • 22:10 Autoimmune causes and what to consider with alopecia
  • 28:45 My favorite daily tools and rituals to support regrowth from within
