Are you struggling with hair loss and looking to fix the problem naturally?

 

Let's look at some of the root causes (no pun intended) of male-pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia. This happens when your large scalp hair follicles change into shorter, thinner vellus hairs. 

Genes, Environmental Exposures, Poor Circulation and Stress

  • You are behind the eight ball because you are genetically predisposed to this condition. 
  • Your hormones are shifting and you probably have low testosterone or low T. You stop producing normal head hair. 
  • Heavy metals and chemical exposures interfere with normal hair growth. 
  • You have poor circulation to your scalp.
  • Your scalp has localized microinflammation which means that you probably have systemic inflammation. Time to check your cardiovascular risk factors and C-reactive protein levels. 
  • You are under chronic stress and it's time to do something about it. If you are not going to sign up for hot yoga or meditation then I have some nutraceutical recommendations to lower your cortisol levels. 

What are some natural treatments to regrow my hair?

  • Drink 2-4 cups of green tea daily.
  • Eat natural 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors like: dark berries like: blueberries, pomegranates, strawberries, raspberries because these foods inhibit protein kinase C.
  • Herbs like: Trifolium, Pueraria, Panax ginseng, Curcuma aeruginosa and Polygonum multiflora can be used topically and internally to inhibit 5 alph-reductase. Ask me about a supplement form that is easy to take. 
  • Towel dry your head vigorously each day and do a scalp massage with Weleda's Rosemary oil. 
  • Take Xymogen's RegeneMax Plus - Take 2 caps of Xymogen's Regenemax - the only supplement that has passed double-blind studies for hair regrowth. Adrenal Manager and AdrenaMax rebalance your stress hormones and support your adrenals.
