today we’re going to talk about the 12

simple and very powerful

home remedies that will not only help

you prevent hair loss but also help you

regrow the hair back you know losing

your hair is a devastating experience

and you want to try natural things first

before you try medication simply because

there are side effects so i’m going to

show you 12 very effective

very cool things that you can do that

are pretty cheap they don’t cost you

much money so get a piece of paper out

and write these things down now the

first two things i want to talk about

very important very significant but very

few people

are aware of this so if you think about

what the hair is exposed to on a regular

basis well you take a shower and you’re

exposing your hair to the water

did you know that the fluoride in your

water creates significant hair loss as

well as acne in your skin yes this is

true the fluoride the flora that is

supposed to be good for our teeth

actually destroys our hair so the first

piece of advice i’m going to give you is

just stop taking a shower

i’m just kidding what you really want to

do is just get a simple shower head that

filters out fluoride okay i found a good

one i’ll put the link down below now i’m

not an affiliate or i don’t get any

kickbacks from this company but it’s a

pretty good shower head that will filter

out fluoride

now that right there could be the reason

why you’re losing hair in fact fluoride

also blocks your thyroid

and a hypothyroid condition

can very easily stop your hair growth

all right the next thing you need to

know about is your shampoo

sulfates

sulfates destroy protein and your hair

is made up of 91

protein

so if you’re exposing your hair to

sulfate shampoos on a daily basis you’re

literally creating all sorts of problems

and inhibiting hair loss so you really

want to make sure you get a sulfate free

shampoo all right those are the two

things that you just need to avoid now

to understand hair loss let’s first look

at the mechanism

how most top hair loss medications work

they basically block an enzyme

to inhibit

dht which is a powerful form of

testosterone that tends to burn out the

hair follicles so

testosterone turns into dht a very

powerful form of testosterone

through this little enzyme and so these

drugs inhibit that enzyme the enzyme is

called 5-alpha reductase and people that

have too much dht get this condition

called androgenetic alopecia which is

pattern hair loss both in males and

females all right so now the question is

are there natural things that can

inhibit this enzyme because of course

the drugs have

side effects and the answer is yes so

there’s a couple things you can do

onion juice which i put a video on this

one topic is a potent natural inhibitor

of that enzyme so you dilute it in water

okay like a 50 50 ratio rub it into your

scalp and let it set for 15 minutes and

then you would wash out your hair i put

a link down below the video that i did

on this topic all right green tea

same thing you would make some green tea

dilute it by 50

rub it into your scalp for about 15

minutes then wash it out with shampoo

now the next

potent inhibitor of this enzyme is

rosemary oil there’s one study that i

found that showed that this oil

is comparable

to rogaine as far as the effectiveness

for preventing hair loss and so you

would take rosemary oil rub it into the

scalp and leave it on for about 10 to 15

minutes

and you would actually leave it in

overnight and then in the morning take a

shower shampoo your hair so rosemary oil

is a potent inhibitor of five alpha

reductase now another inhibitor of this

enzyme is just zinc okay maybe you’re

deficient in zinc like a lot of people

are so the best food for zinc is oysters

start consuming some oysters a few times

a week but zinc is also in red meat so

you might need some more red meat it’s

also in seafood it’s also in eggs but

red meat and oysters have the most zinc

okay now we have five the old-fashioned

home remedy apple cider vinegar

you don’t want to put

concentrated apple cider vinegar on your

scalp okay i’m just letting you know

right now it’s going to burn your scalp

you want to dilute it like 1 3 cup of

apple cider vinegar to one liter of

water and you can rub it into the scalp

and it actually will help clean up some

of the pores that may be filled with

sebum which is an oil that could be

preventing the follicles from growing

properly and also apple cider vinegar

gives a really nice shine to your hair

in addition to that apple cider vinegar

is acidic and so is your scalp so apple

cider vinegar can help re-establish the

ph of your skull which can actually

support the friendly microbes or the

microbiome in your scalp you don’t want

to create an environment where the

outside of your skin is so sterile

because you have

millions of microorganisms living on the

outside of your skin

helping you and when you sterilize or

clean your skin too much

you can end up with all sorts of

problems including hair loss so this is

why you want to minimize the amount of

chemicals that you expose your skin to

let’s go to number six

what if you go on the ketogenic diet and

you start losing hair what does that

usually indicate that usually means that

you’re not consuming enough protein

that’s the number one cause so increase

your protein okay there’s some other

things you want to look at as well

number one trace minerals especially

if you are doing intermittent fasting or

fasting with your ketogenic plan because

we are very very deficient in trace

minerals in our food trace minerals are

minerals needed in very small amounts

but they’re very very essential so

either consuming food high in trace

minerals like sea kelp or shellfish or

fish from the ocean and

sea salt is a good one or just get a

plant-based trace mineral product will

add more trace minerals to give the hair

what it needs to build all right the

other key vitamins that are needed in

larger amounts when you’re on the

ketogenic plan are the b vitamins and so

there are a lot of links between a b

vitamin deficiency and hair loss so you

want to make sure

you’re taking enough vitamins and so

nutritional yeast is a really good

remedy for that just make sure that when

you’re doing nutritional yeast

that you want to get it unfortified with

synthetic vitamins all right number

seven cruciferous vegetables

if you have too much estrogen that can

affect your hair this is why women when

they go through their menstrual cycle

tend to lose hair this is an excess

amount of estrogen and so one of the

natural ways to help regulate estrogen

is to start consuming cruciferous

vegetables another great way to regulate

estrogen would be to take sea kelp

because when you take sea kelp you get

more iodine and iodine also regulates

estrogen now one more side note on that

let’s say you’re menopausal and you

start losing your hair

that usually is higher levels of

cortisol related to stress

and if that’s your situation i put a

link down below on cortisol because

that’s a very very important topic let’s

talk about number eight

selenium next home remedy would be

something to support a

hypothyroid condition

if you have a slow thyroid a lot of

times you’ll lose hair and one of the

key trace minerals for the thyroid to

support it and help convert t4 to t3 is

selenium and the best food for selenium

is

brazil nuts and

seafood

and seaweed or seek kelp now if you do

see kelp you also get the iodine that’s

also

good for your thyroid and one note about

that

you can have a hypothyroid condition

from other reasons that are not related

to selenium for example you can have

high estrogen

too much estrogen inhibits the thyroid

function

you could have a fatty liver or liver

damage that can stop your t4 from

converting to t3 you could have

gut damage from antibiotics from eating

the wrong foods

especially gluten i would say out of all

the foods that is damaging to the

thyroid it would be grains specifically

the gluten in the grains okay so if you

have hashimoto’s which is usually 90 of

all hypothyroid cases you definitely

need to avoid gluten like the plague

because that will keep the thyroid

inflamed and you’re going to have a

difficult time

fixing that problem then we have nine

increase your vitamin d you want to get

more sleep and you want to start

exercising to reduce stress

stress

is a huge

uh problem with your hair in fact a lot

of people if you ask them when did you

lose your hair after an emotional

stressful event because you’re spiking

cortisol and cortisol is very damaging

to proteins now a couple things you can

do if this is your situation start

taking more vitamin d

in fact you just need to be on the sun

more if you can do that now if it’s

winter it’s going to be a hard time but

more vitamin d can greatly greatly help

your hair

and lower your stress vitamin d3 can act

like a natural cortisol hormone but

without the side effects it does very

similar things it’s an anti-inflammatory

so to reduce stress

you want to increase your vitamin d and

or expose yourself to sun you want to

get more sleep i have a ton of videos on

that if you’re new to my channel you

want to start doing daily walks and you

want to start exercising to reduce

stress all right number ten in a lot of

hair formulas they add silica okay

silica gives the hair its strength and

most spring water has silica like

pellegrino and even most other types of

bottled water where it comes from a

spring is going to have silica you can

even buy silica rich water which is

really good for the hair in fact you’re

probably going to notice that your skin

your hair and your nails will all just

start growing and become very strong if

you start consuming silicone alright 11.

the ketogenic diet as well as doing

intermittent fasting if you are female

and you have polycystic ovarian syndrome

you have to realize that one of the big

side effects is hair loss because you

have this spike of androgens and that’s

coming from

insulin

so just by

understanding that simple relationship

and lowering the amount of insulin you

can help lower androgens and help

prevent hair loss so how does that

happen well start going on a low carb

diet that’s called the ketogenic diet as

well as doing intermittent fasting and

lastly 12. if you look at a lot of

remedies for hair loss supplements they

always add biotin now what’s this biotin

biotin helps proteins in your body

especially hair

biotin will help regrow your hair and

prevent the loss of hair but biotin is a

very key b vitamin for the manufacturing

of these proteins that give the hair its

structure and

biotin

is made by bacteria okay so your own gut

makes biotin

and so many people after they lose the

gut

microbiome

start losing their hair because they

don’t have the microbes to make biotin

anymore

so take a while guess what food is

loaded with biotin and

can increase your own

friendly bacteria to make your own

biotin

sauerkraut sauerkraut has a hundred

times more probiotics than most

probiotics and the good bacteria in

sauerkraut survives the acid in your

stomach plus it gives you

massive amounts of vitamin c which is

also needed to help grow proteins

specifically collagen and keratin so

sauerkraut on a regular basis can

greatly help you reestablish your

microbiome in your gut help give you

vitamin c

and

give you more biotin now if you have a

receding hairline i did a very specific

important video on that topic and i put

it right here
