“Why am I losing my hair?”
You’re finding more strands in your brush, on the shower floor, and even on your pillow. Every glance in the mirror feels like a check-in: “Is my hairline moving back again?”
Hair loss can affect your confidence, mood, and even how you show up socially or professionally.
You’re probably wondering:
Is this just genetics?
Are my hormones to blame?
Can I actually stop it—or even reverse it naturally?
Why Hair Loss Happens: The Real Root Causes
It’s not just “bad genes.” Most hair loss is the result of internal imbalances that you can actually do something about.
✅ 1. Hormonal Imbalances (It’s Not Only DHT)
Sure, DHT (dihydrotestosterone) plays a role, but:
Low estrogen—common after childbirth or during perimenopause—can slow growth.
High estrogen—often due to poor liver detox—can trigger shedding.
✅ 2. Stress & Cortisol Overload
Chronic stress tells your body, “Forget hair growth, we’re in survival mode.” Nutrients are redirected, and follicles weaken.
✅ 3. Nutrient Deficiencies
Your hair is literally built from protein, minerals, and fats. Without enough zinc, iron, B vitamins, omega-3s, and protein, follicles suffer.
✅ 4. Thyroid Dysfunction
A slow thyroid slows everything, including the rate your hair grows.
✅ 5. Toxins & Gut Issues
Heavy metals, plastics, and a leaky gut reduce nutrient absorption and increase inflammation.
✅ 6. Systemic Inflammation
Chronic inflammation makes your scalp a less welcoming place for new growth.
“But wait, aren’t you bald?”
Yes. And I get the skepticism:
“If you know how to reverse hair loss, why don’t you do it yourself?”
Here’s the truth:
I discovered this science-backed approach years after I’d already gone through classic male pattern baldness. By then, I’d started enjoying the perks of being bald:
Faster showers
No barbershop bills
No pricey, chemical-free styling products
More morning time
That said, as I’ve optimized my health, the hair I still have now grows faster, thicker, and even lower on my forehead than when it was actively receding. I’m confident I could regrow more if I applied all of this consistently—but honestly? I like the convenience.
How to Reverse Hair Loss Naturally
There’s no single miracle shampoo. You have to fix the internal environment that grows your hair.
At Love Energy Wellness, we use a root-cause approach built on the DESTRESS Protocol™ (from Integrative Health Practitioner Institute):
1. Diet
Eat clean, nutrient-dense foods rich in protein, omega-3s, zinc, and silica.
2. Exercise
Improves circulation, hormone balance, and scalp nutrient delivery.
3. Stress Reduction
Daily meditation, breathwork, or simple walking lowers cortisol and keeps follicles in “growth mode.”
4. Toxin Removal
Detox the liver and clear heavy metals, plastics, and xenoestrogens.
5. Rest
Hair regenerates during deep sleep.
6. Emotional Balance
Unmanaged emotional stress can trigger chronic shedding.
7. Science-Backed Supplementation
Start with foundational support:
Daily Nutritional Support Shake: Complete daily vitamins, minerals, protein, and detox support.
Omega-3 Support: Reduces inflammation and supports scalp health.
Beauty Bundle: Collagen, silica, and antioxidants specifically for hair, skin, and nails.
Daily Hair Support: Targeted follicle nourishment.
The Discovery Phase: Test, Don’t Guess
Standard bloodwork won’t reveal the hidden reasons behind your shedding. We use at-home functional labs:
Thyroid, Adrenal, and Hormone Test: Uncovers thyroid issues, cortisol imbalances, and estrogen/testosterone problems.
Omega-3 & Inflammation Test: Checks inflammation levels and essential fatty acid balance.
Minerals & Metals (HTMA) Test: Reveals mineral deficiencies and heavy metal toxicity.
Other Helpful Tools
Direct Red Light Therapy: Stimulates follicle activity.
Topical Finasteride/Minoxidil: Works for some, but has pros/cons (side effects, long-term dependence).
Avoid Overheating Your Head: Constant hot showers, saunas, and blow dryers can stress follicles.
Biotin Shampoo & Conditioner: Can help strengthen hair, though it’s not a root-cause fix.
Natural Oils (Castor Oil + Bergamot): Improve scalp circulation and moisture.
Much of what I’ve learned about the root causes and natural solutions for hair loss comes from the research and education of my mentor, Dr. Stephen Cabral—whose work on this topic continues to guide my approach to truly integrative, science-backed wellness. Read more about his insights here.
The Bottom Line: You Can Change This
Hair loss isn’t a permanent sentence. With the right testing, targeted nutrition, hormone balancing, and scalp support, many people stop shedding and even regrow stronger, healthier hair.
