PCOS & Hair Issues: Why it is and What to do! - Ep 122

Hair issues are near and dear to my heart. Whether it is losing hair on the head or growing it in unwanted places, it is a struggle that many of us face. Women with PCOS are 60% more likely to have mood related disorders. And I know for me, when I was struggling with hair loss, it really added to my sense of depression and isolation, and it exacerbated those emotional issues. So, I invited Dr. Michelle Jeffries back to give us some answers about why we experience hair loss and what we can do about it.

We discuss:

- Types of hair loss and the relationship to PCOS

- Hormone and nutrient deficiency testing

- Suggested supplements

- Alternative Treatments: Essential oils, Acupuncture, Laser, electrolysis, platelet rich plasma (PRP), Saw palmetto, Nutrafol

- Topical over the counter and prescriptions

- Hair transplants
