Quick takeaways

  • Hormone optimization is crucial for improving hair growth and maintaining hair quality, with low estrogen levels causing thinning hair and imbalances in testosterone leading to balding and overall hair thinning.
  • Thyroid health plays a critical role in hair growth and loss, with an underactive thyroid resulting in slow hair growth and prolonged dormant hair phases, and optimal thyroid function being necessary for proper blood flow to the hair follicles and scalp.

Deep dives

The Role of Hormones in Hair Loss

Hormones, particularly estrogen and testosterone, play a crucial role in hair loss and hair quality. Low estrogen levels can lead to thinning and see-through hair, while imbalances in testosterone, particularly elevated levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), can cause balding and overall hair thinning. Hormone optimization is essential to improve hair growth and maintain hair quality.
