Gabriel investigates root cause of hair loss (treatable in many cases—not just 'genetic baldness' and 'nothing can be done').
Gabriel investigates root cause of hair loss (treatable in many cases—not just 'genetic baldness' and 'nothing can be done'). Protocol: 1) Identify type and cause (androgenetic vs autoimmune vs telogen effluvium vs nutritional—treatment differs), 2) Optimize thyroid function (subclinical hypothyroidism often missed—treating regrows hair), 3) Correct nutrient deficiencies (iron, ferritin >70, zinc, biotin, protein—common and reversible causes), 4) Balance hormones (PCOS, post-partum, menopause), 5) Reduce inflammation (if autoimmune—alopecia areata), 6) DHT blockers if androgenetic (saw palmetto, pumpkin seed oil, green tea), 7) Topical growth stimulants, 8) PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma—proven effective). Many cases of hair loss preventable or reversible with proper intervention.
Standard Treatment
Androgenetic alopecia: Minoxidil (Rogaine), Finasteride (Propecia—men only), Hair transplant; Alopecia areata: Corticosteroid injections, Topical immunotherapy, JAK inhibitors (off-label); Telogen effluvium: Identify and remove trigger, spontaneous recovery; General: Address underlying conditions (thyroid, nutritional deficiencies).
The Problem
Minoxidil (Rogaine): Modestly effective (30-40% regrowth, slows loss in most), must use indefinitely (hair falls out if stop), doesn't address root cause, Finasteride (Propecia): Effective for male pattern baldness (prevents further loss, modest regrowth in some) BUT: Sexual side effects (1-2% but distressing—erectile dysfunction, decreased libido), Post-finasteride syndrome (rare but devastating—persistent sexual, mental, physical side effects even after stopping, not well understood), Not for women (teratogenic—birth defects), doesn't address root cause (genetic/hormonal—suppresses DHT but doesn't fix why follicles sensitive), Hair transplant: Expensive ($4,000-15,000), surgical risks, requires healthy donor hair, doesn't stop ongoing loss (need Finasteride/Rogaine to maintain), Alopecia areata treatments: Variable success (corticosteroids regrow hair in patches but often recurs, topical immunotherapy 40-60% success, JAK inhibitors promising but expensive, long-term safety unknown), Conventional often doesn't: Investigate thoroughly (ferritin <70 causes hair loss but 'normal' on labs—not optimized, subclinical hypothyroidism often missed—TSH 2.5-4.5 can cause hair loss but called 'normal', PCOS, nutritional deficiencies, medications causing hair loss), Optimize iron (ferritin >70 needed for hair growth—women often 20-40, told 'normal', supplementing regrows hair), Check thyroid thoroughly (TSH, Free T4, Free T3, antibodies—many hair loss patients have undertreated thyroid), Test nutrients (zinc, biotin, vitamin D—deficiencies reversible causes), Offer PRP (proven effective, not widely available, expensive), Natural DHT blockers (saw palmetto, pumpkin seed oil—some evidence, worth trying), Many cases of hair loss treatable if root cause identified (thyroid, iron, zinc, PCOS, medications—correcting these regrows hair), androgenetic alopecia harder but: DHT blockers (natural or Finasteride), minoxidil, PRP, microneedling, LLLT can help, Patience required (hair grows slowly—3-6 months minimum to see improvement).

Adequate protein (hair is protein—0.8-1g/kg minimum, some need more), iron-rich foods (red meat, liver, spinach, lentils—if deficient, pair with vitamin C for absorption), zinc foods (oysters, beef, pumpkin seeds), biotin foods (eggs, nuts, seeds, sweet potato), omega-3 foods (fatty fish, walnuts, flax), colorful vegetables (antioxidants, vitamins), avoid crash diets (telogen effluvium—hair loss from rapid weight loss, inadequate nutrition), avoid excessive vitamin A (can cause hair loss), anti-inflammatory diet (if autoimmune), adequate calories (chronic calorie restriction causes hair loss), bone broth (collagen, amino acids), avoid excessive sugar and processed foods.
Treat underlying condition (thyroid, PCOS, autoimmune—addressing root cause regrows hair in many), Stress management (telogen effluvium often follows major stress—illness, surgery, childbirth, emotional trauma—hair regrows but takes 6-12 months after stressor resolves), Gentle hair care (avoid tight hairstyles, chemical treatments, excessive heat, harsh brushing—traction alopecia preventable), Scalp massage (improves circulation—5-10 min daily, some studies show benefit), Minoxidil (Rogaine) 5% (proven effective for androgenetic alopecia—stimulates growth, need to continue indefinitely, works better in women than men, FDA-approved), Finasteride (Propecia) 1mg (DHT blocker—proven effective for male pattern baldness, prescription, side effects: sexual dysfunction 1-2%, post-finasteride syndrome rare but severe, not for women of childbearing age—teratogenic), PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections (proven effective—own blood spun, platelets injected into scalp, stimulates growth factors, 3-4 sessions then maintenance), Microneedling (stimulates growth factors, enhances topical absorption—combine with minoxidil), Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) (FDA-cleared for hair loss—LaserCap, iGrow, stimulates follicles, modest benefit), Address nutritional deficiencies (iron, zinc, biotin, protein—correcting regrows hair if deficiency was cause), Hair transplant (if androgenetic alopecia severe—surgical, expensive, permanent), For alopecia areata: Corticosteroid injections (into bald patches—stimulates regrowth), Topical immunotherapy (DPCP, SADBE—triggers allergic reaction, confuses immune system, regrowth in 40-60%), JAK inhibitors (tofacitinib, ruxolitinib—new, expensive, promising for severe alopecia areata), Be patient (hair grows slowly—1/2 inch per month, takes 3-6 months minimum to see results from treatment, telogen effluvium recovers 6-12 months after trigger resolves).
