Navigating Hair Loss in Menopause - #87

As women enter their 40s and 50s, the chances of experiencing hair thinning or significant hair loss increase due to various factors, including hormonal changes, genetics, stress, and even nutritional deficiencies. Hair is often closely tied to identity and self-confidence, so these changes can feel particularly unsettling.

In episode #87 we’ll delve into the root causes of hair loss during midlife. From the hormonal fluctuations of menopause, which can lead to conditions like androgenetic alopecia, to the impact of stress and lifestyle choices, we’ll explore why these factors play such a significant role. Additionally, we'll look at common myths and misconceptions about hair loss and provide insights into what’s happening on a biological level.

But it’s not all doom and gloom—there’s hope and help available. We’ll also discuss science-backed treatments that have shown promise in not only halting hair loss but also promoting regrowth. From topical treatments like minoxidil to newer therapies like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and TED, we’ll break down the options, their effectiveness, and what might be right for you. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and resources you need to take control of your hair health and embrace this new phase of life with confidence.
