Episode notes

ADVICE

Assess And Support Thyroid Early

Check thyroid function early when you notice hair thinning and consider appropriate thyroid support.
Treat thyroid and adrenal health as part of middle‑age hair preservation strategies.

INSIGHT

Stress Drives Catabolic Hair Loss Loop

Chronic emotional stress raises cortisol and drives catabolic processes that damage hair follicles.
A vicious loop forms because hair loss increases stress, worsening the problem.

ADVICE

Test For Iron And B12 Deficiencies

Rule out iron deficiency and low ferritin as common, treatable causes of hair loss.
Test and correct iron or B12 deficiencies rather than guessing at supplements.
