hi guys in this video I want to talk

about kind of a missing link to hair

loss and it tear loss due to stress

right people always trying to regrow

their hair but they’re not looking at

the deeper root causes one would be

stress and that relates to a hormone a

stress hormone called cortisol okay what

does cortisol cortisol is a stress

hormone that is made by your adrenal

glands those are two little glands on

top of your kidney deep inside and they

react and adapt to stress when your body

goes through too much stress it’s very

very destructive on proteins okay it’ll

start using proteins as fuel so it’ll

start to break down proteins and turn

them into sugar yeah that’s why you

always have a blood sugar issue when you

have too much cortisol and even you can

create diabetes

but the point is that if the cortisol is

too high you’re going to have protein

loss in the body primarily hair nails

skin collagen if the cortisol is too low

you’re also going to lose your hair too

but a little bit differently more like

alopecia which is patches of hair that

are coming out and that’s because when

you go through like a severe loss for

example it can shock the adrenal and

then you lose cortisol function which is

an immune function and you start

developing an autoimmune where your

antibodies are attacking it’s your own

tissue primarily the roots of the hair

so you can have an autoimmune condition

where it’s attacking the roots and

causing patches of hair to fall out but

it’s all triggered by a stress event

okay and then first and usually has low

cortisol after that so really we just we

need normal cortisol so there’s several

phases antigen catagen and telogen those

are basically phases of growth and

dyeing of hair so an antigen is the

growth of the hair and catagen is the

transition between growth and the

maintaining of the hair and then you

telogen is kind of like where the hair

and then falls off so

all of us normally should lose about a

hundred hairs a day seems like a lot but

that’s normal you have a lot of

different hairs in your head so it’s not

that much of course I don’t know I’m not

suggesting you count them individually

but you could and also a good test is

just to take like sixty hairs and pull

them and have someone pull your

hair and see how many hairs come out

okay so if you’re pulling sixty hairs

out of your head just kind of pulling it

not like yanking now you normally it

should be less than six hairs that

should come out okay if it’s more than

six hairs then we chances are we

probably have too much cortisol okay

that could be one of the causes so now

what do we do about this okay well

number one we have to remove any type of

external stress whether its

environmental from your job or maybe

it’s a relationship problem it’s a

family problem you have to do whatever

you can to resolve or improve that

because unless your you handle that

stress this can continue okay that’s why

a change of environment changing your

friends and change your family right to

switch out your family with another

family member especially the stressful

ones and you’ll be fine next one is

internal stress so that’s your body’s

like a pin cushion it accumulates stress

and over your lifetime you’re a stress

bucket so there are techniques that you

could extract stress from the body I use

a massage slash acupressure technique

I’ll put a link down below of a examples

of that okay so that’s like working on

the body stress or you can actually take

supplements for stress I’ll put a link

down below for that and then you can

feed the hair the nutrition that it

needs because stress depletes vitamins B

vitamins calcium and potassium so that’s

interesting and the last thing you can

do is increase growth hormone growth

hormone is the it’s kind of like the

thing that’s the opposite of course all

growth hormone protects proteins it

helps you with stress it’s anti aging

cortisol is aging and makes you get old

it makes your hair fall out makes you

wrinkly so growth hormone is a trigger

by high quality sleep okay so sleep high

intense exercise with lots of sleep and

recovery okay and a good amount of

protein and lastly and most importantly

is intermittent fasting so for you to

take six meals a day is a very very bad

idea you want three meals a day or even

two without any snacks because that

intermittent fasting will then stimulate

growth hormone and it could decrease

cortisol alright so I just want to kind

of give you an overview of what the

effects of cortisol can do on your hair

I hope that gives you a better

understanding thanks for watching Brett
