If you’re a woman dealing with hair loss, this episode is for you. I share my personal journey with hair, from growing up with a hairstylist mom to navigating stress, life changes, and different phases of hair growth. Hair, skin, and nails are all reflections of what’s happening inside your body, and I break down what can really cause thinning, breakage, and shedding.

I also cover my thoughts on hair loss treatments, from nutrition and stress management to thyroid support, Minoxidil, PRP, red light, and supplements. Whether you’re looking for answers or curious about how different treatments work, I walk you through the factors that matter most for healthy hair.
