  • "We don't actually notice hair thinning until about 50% of our scalp density is lost, which is a lot." - Kate Willis NP-C
  • "Maybe stress management doesn't have to be complicated. Maybe it means you just walk around the block in your neighborhood and listen to the birds and just unplug for 20 minutes." - Dr. Polly Watson
