What if hair loss was really a signal from your body, not just a cosmetic issue?
In this episode, I talk with VJ Hamilton, The Autoimmune Nutritionist, about overcoming alopecia areata and other forms of hair loss by addressing root causes. We dive into nutrient deficiencies, gut health, thyroid imbalances, and inflammation and how functional medicine can help hair grow back naturally.
If you’ve been told there’s no hope for hair loss, this episode will challenge that belief.
