0:00 Introduction: How to reverse hair loss naturally 0:47 Hair growth explained1:27 Causes of hair loss4:44 The best way to reverse hair loss8:28 Natural remedies for hair loss10:14 Foods that reverse hair loss



Today, I’m going to show you how to reverse hair loss naturally, without damaging side effects. Most hair loss is androgenic, typically resulting in male pattern baldness and thinning hair in women. The hair follicle requires significant oxygen and mitochondria for optimal hair growth.



Testosterone decreases with age in both men and women and is replaced by DHT, a more powerful form of testosterone. Many hair regrowth treatments work by inhibiting DHT.



Too much DHT can decrease hair growth, reduce oxygen, increase inflammation, and increase scar tissue in the hair follicle. Drugs for hair growth that work by lowering DHT can come with side effects like decreased libido and erectile dysfunction.



Beyond age and genetics, the primary driver of DHT is insulin resistance!



To reverse hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth, you must support the environment of the hair follicle. Mechanical scalp stimulation is one of the most overlooked yet effective remedies for hair loss, with microneedling being the most effective method.



Other natural remedies for hair loss include:

•Red light/NIR light

•Rosemary oil (natural Rogaine)

•Correcting insulin resistance. This FREE mini course can show you how: https://drbrg.co/4pBHk9O

•Increase zinc (30-40 mg) and vitamin D (10,000 IU)

•Natural 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors: saw palmetto, pumpkin seed oil, EGCG, peppermint oil, zinc
