I've been losing hair

[Tyler Robinson]

I've been losing some hair recently and that has me worried. 

Any tips on regrowing new hair? 

Thanks.

It's winter now, I believe it's normal to have your hair thicker in the summer than in other seasons.

It's also normal to lose up to 100 hairs a day (I've read somewhere), they just regrow.

If you're still convinced that you are losing an abnormal amount of hair, then keep reading.

Getting a thorough blood panel including hormones would be the first thing I'd look at.

And then have that result printout checked by someone like @Michael569 or any expert you trust, maybe some biohacking person or female hormone balance specialist, just to get a good read whether something's out of whack or not. Your GP's opinion is not enough, they tend to be too busy and nonspecialized to pick up on subtleties.

If something's out of whack with your hormones, then you need to figure out whether it's nutritional or psychosomatic.

Here's the order in which I would troubleshoot it:

1. removing sources of stress in your life,
2. removing toxins from your diet and skincare products,
3. see if you are using any hair care products or shampoos that you didn't use before and could contain toxins,
4. quitting smoking etc,
5. getting your blood checked for the level of hormones, vitamins, minerals and other stuff that's supposed to be there,
6. talk to nutrition experts and hormone experts and get their take on your blood panel,
7. try supplementation or diet changes,
8. See if it's a side effect of medication that you are taking
9. maybe try artifical hormone supplementation if that's something you're willing to do,
10. otherwise look at regression therapy or Primal therapy to restore your natural state.

 

I assume that you are in your 20s or maybe 30s and don't have a disease, so you should not be balding or having your hair permanently become thin.

If you are suffering from emotional stress, your hormones will be out of whack.

If you have a certain level of unprocessed early childhood trauma or birth trauma, your hormones can be out of whack by default.

If your mother was stressed when she carried you in the womb, your body can get an imprint from that which can cause an unnatural hormonal setpoint, or an unnatural level of stress that the body takes over as a setpoint for homeostasis.

That can sometimes be restored with Primal therapy, but it can take some years and is a big time investment. So check the easy stuff first.

@Tyler Robinson I cant tell if your a dude or not but if you are you want to start on finasteride to lower the DHT count in your body, and pair it with minoxidil to stimulate hair growth.
