Welcome to this special episode, where we do a deep dive into a topic that so many people with hypothyroidism struggle with—hair loss!
If you've noticed more strands in your brush or feel like your hair just isn’t as thick and healthy as it used to be, you’re not alone. Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s can throw your hair growth cycle completely off balance, leading to shedding, thinning, and frustrating changes in texture.
In this episode, we’ll break down exactly how your thyroid affects your hair, whether popular treatments like levothyroxine could be making things worse, and if biotin is really the magic bullet it’s hyped up to be. Plus, we’ll take a look at minoxidil and other treatments to see what actually works for thyroid-related hair loss. And, we'll touch on the skin and nails, which are also affected along with hair.
And to give you even more expert-backed solutions, we’ll be sharing insights from Paloma Health’s speaker series, where top health professionals break down the best ways to identify and treat hair loss, including the role of thyroid testing, nutritional deficiencies, and personalized care.
If you’re wondering how to keep your hair strong, healthy, and right where it belongs—on your head—then stay tuned, because we’ve got a lot to cover in this must-listen episode!
