Many factors can contribute to hair loss in women—from genetic predisposition to hormonal changes—and can show up differently than in men. In this episode, Dr. Alan Bauman, a hair restoration physician, shares his top three hair loss treatments for women that go beyond nutrition, and many more details. A key point: Whether you’ve pinpointed the exact cause of the loss or not, you can still begin to test these treatments. Treating an underlying issue may not reverse the hair loss. It’s important to act as early as possible with hair-loss specific treatment for the best chance to stop the progression. https://drruscio.com/?p=40610

A Herxheimer reaction (aka die-off) is essentially when a new protocol makes you feel worse before you start to feel better.

This often gets confused with intolerance, which makes sense when gauging how a new protocol makes you feel. But to make sure you aren’t jumping ship on a protocol that may actually be working for you, it’s important to learn how to recognize the difference between die-off and intolerance.

Join me to learn how to best navigate Herxheimer symptoms and what you can do to manage them.
