hey it’s me again we’re going to talk

about hair loss okay so there’s a

question from a lady that said I’m

losing my hair and I need some help so

we’re going to answer what causes that

when you’re dealing with hair loss you

have to make sure that you don’t treat

the symptom which is hair loss and

that’s like directly because you have to

find the cause of it and hair loss is a

symptom so people are taking biotin in

the doing shampoos with all these

collagen and things and vitamins

thinking that’s going to absorb in the

hair and do something it’s it’s a joke

it’s not going to happen like that so in

my book I talk about in two different

sections because there’s really three

different situations going on with hair

one is actually in Chapter 7 on the

thyroid body type so the thyroid gland

can cause thinning of the hair thinning

brittle hair okay that would be thyroid

but again what causes the thyroid

problem that’s what you need to dig in

there I always like to use a question

when did it start

that gives the clue what what happened

just before it started did you get

pregnant and then you lost your hair did

you start a diet and start losing your

hair for example I had someone

completely almost bald and it was after

she did a high protein diet and all that

protein was the wrong thing for her body

type and that aggravated her liver you

have to have a good liver to digest all

that protein well anyway one of the

causes of thyroid is a liver problem it

blocked the liver boom the thyroid can’t

convert to the liver and she lost all

her hair now I’ve had other people do a

vegetarian diet after watching the

documentary called it’s called forks

over knives summit forks over knives I

think it is where they talk about being

a vegetarian well they cut out all

protein in lost all their hair so and

they started breaking down their teeth

so really you want to adjust the

eating plan to your body type not just

do like you can’t do a one-size-fits-all

but the point is that what can cause a

thyroid problem usually is a liver

problem or a lack of bile that detergent

that does some that helps you break down

the grease from your gall bladder and if

you’re missing a gall bladder or you get

bloating or you have constipation or you

have a liver problem that alone can

block the thyroid and cause a thinning

so do you want to work on the thyroid

know you want to support liver again ask

yourself when did it start what happened

just before now we have estrogen spike

estrogen can also block the thyroid from

a pregnancy being on HRT hormone

replacement therapy birth control pills

consuming lots of soy all those things

can spike estrogen and block your

thyroid okay so how do you know if you

have is trojan watch my video on high

oestrogen

the symptoms are heavy period a problem

with your cycle heavy weight on the

lower part of your body fibroids that

that would all indicate that you have

too much estrogen so these two two

things can block the thyroid and cause

thing of your hair so that’s one cause

the next thing we’re talking about is

receding hair or male pattern baldness

now that is a androgen problem what is

androgens that’s a male hormone it’s a

type of testosterone and women have it

too and so when that hormone goes higher

what happens is it starts to burn out

the hair follicles and it starts to

recede or you start losing hair on the

top part right here

men and women now if this happens if

you’re getting receding hair there’s

three causes to that one is high levels

of insulin okay and that comes from

sugar or refined carbs now excess

insulin can convert estrogen into

androgens and that’s why women that have

polycystic ovarian syndrome PCOS there

they get put them on metformin

to say what’s called insulin resistance

well that’s because their their insulin

has been too high and causing us some

resistance and triggering this effect so

again this could cause that alright high

levels of cortisol that’s stress what

can that do well think about it the

adrenal gland makes three hormones on

the outside of the adrenal bag cortisol

which is a stress hormone androgens and

in another hormone called aldosterone

but we’re going to talk about if this

adrenal band is over working like in

sustained stress it will raise all three

of these hormones and so you’re going to

high energies just from an overactive

adrenal and that will cause the

receiving hair and a lot of times it’ll

cause facial hair so the hair goes from

here to here or it’s going to you’re

going to get acne okay so increase

insulin cortisol or this other hormone

called igf-1 like growth factor I don’t

want to confuse you but let me just kind

of give you the summary of what what

this is this is a hormone from your

liver and you make it you make all three

of these but a lot of times when you

consume the wrong foods specifically soy

protein isolates and diet foods that

will spike the IGF and create high

levels of androgen - so in other words

it’s back to the liver again if

something aggravates your liver you can

actually have high androgens and have

receiving error so again we got to look

at the different things that it could be

going to be thyroid never so as you can

see so far we got a lot of liver

situations going on okay but then this

last one you can have patches of your

hair come out in different places that’s

called alopecia

that’s an autoimmune problem where your

body is attacking your own hair root so

it’s like an allergy to your own hair

now that usually comes from an

overactive adrenal from a stress event

so we’re back to stress again so most

stress events will cause autoimmune and

that’s why a lot of autoimmune

conditions whether it’s rheumatory

arthritis

as alopecia whatever comes after a loss

of a loved one or maybe some type of

accident or an injury or sustained

stress so if we really want to know the

cause of stress it’s a combination of

stress sugar eating the wrong things

so I protein isolates the liver or

having too much estrogen in the diet in

the environment or just having your body

pump out too much because you’re you

have a fibroid so I have specific videos

and all these I just wanted to give you

a summary on the general possible causes

of hair loss I hope this helps so if you

want just watch some of these specific

videos through my blog and see if you

can find out now what to do about it

alright so this is dr. Burke signing off

and I’ll see you in the next video
