let’s talk about women who get hair loss  that is related to various hormonal changes  

let’s first start with the menstrual cycle at  day 15 when you’re ovulating uh you get this huge  

spike of estrogen okay and then in the next two  weeks you’re going to get a spike in progesterone  

and androgen so depending on what time of the  month you’re getting hair loss will give us clues  

as to what hormone is involved but most women tend  to lose hair in the second half of the menstrual  

cycle when there’s a spike of androgens now when  a woman goes through menopause they can continue  

to have hair loss to some degree because there’s  this faint hormonal rhythm going on to some degree  

so if you’re getting hair loss pre-menopause  so let’s say for example you’re in your 20s 30s  

or the first part of your 40s  right and you’re getting hair loss  

at the second half of your cycle you need to lower  androgens the best way to do that is to lower your  

insulin okay that means you need to lower  your carbohydrates that is the single most  

important thing to help stop hair loss so  you want to go on a low carb diet that’s keto  

as well as doing intermittent fasting but let’s  say for example you’re postmenopausal and your  

hair is falling out that is a situation  where you’re very low in progesterone  

you’re pretty low in androgens but you’re also  low in estrogen as well so you have a lessening  

of all three hormones in which case you need to  take something called dhea that’s a precursor  

to those hormones and it will help you elevate the  hormones but here’s a catch-22 if you take a very  

small amount let’s say 10 milligrams you’ll  increase more estrogen if you start taking  

more let’s say 20 30 even 40 milligrams you’re  gonna also spike androgens too much and that may  

cause more hair loss so with taking dhea for hair  loss you want to just take a very small amount to  

increase estrogen and the other hormones just by  a little bit because too much is not a good idea  

okay so let’s say someone’s postpartum they  just had a baby and they have this severe drop  

in estrogen well that can cause just patches  of hair coming out of your head in which case  

you need to take 10 milligrams of dhea and  that’ll bring it up nicely let’s say you  

have pcos polycystic ovarian syndrome that’s  a situation where your androgens are too high  

simply reduce your insulin by going on keto  and intermittent fasting another really good  

thing to take to help your pituitary and  ovary communication is to take inositol  

okay inositol they’re actually sweet vitamins  there’s no sugar in it but inositol will help pcos  

big time okay let’s say for example your period  is very heavy okay and you’re losing blood that is  

high levels of estrogen in this case you do not  want to take dhea you want to take dim now dim  

actually does the opposite it lowers estrogen it’s  a concentrated cruciferous product and it’s very  

very good for people that are estrogen dominant  the other thing you want to take is iron and i  

would highly recommend getting that from animal  products like red meat liver you can take liver  

pills that’s the best source of iron all right  next scenario let’s say for example you have a  

slow thyroid because your estrogen increased now  how are you going to know that it’s high estrogen  

well it could be you just gave birth okay  that high spike of estrogen will definitely  

shut the thyroid down and so if you have a  hypothyroid condition right after birth or during  

birth then we know it’s an estrogen problem or  let’s say you started taking birth control pills  

and then you ended up with a hypothyroid  condition or let’s say for example you took  

hormone replacement therapy and you end up with a  slow thyroid or if you have heavy periods which is  

high estrogen and you have a slow thyroid then you  have clues to know what caused that so what do we  

do with high estrogen we take dim what does dim do  it lowers estrogen it’s a product that you can get  

online bile salts greatly help the conversion of  t4 to t3 through your liver so taking bile salts  

improve a slow thyroid and then selenium is very  very important because most hypothyroid cases are  

hashimoto’s and that’s more of a situation where  selenium can help you one last scenario let’s say  

you’re taking birth control pills for a period  of time and you stop taking birth control pills  

all of a sudden your hair starts falling out that  is an estrogen crash okay the way to bring that  

up is simply by taking an acetol because inositol  resets the flow of hormones between your pituitary  

and your ovary and lastly you don’t want  to forget about two additional things  

that can cause your hair loss and one is a trace  mineral deficiency and a b vitamin deficiency so  

trace minerals and b vitamins including biotin  can greatly support hair and prevent it from  

falling out all right those are the different  scenarios that could potentially affect your hair
