HORMONE & THYROID
Is your hair still thinning? Are you fatigued and cannot seem to warm up? Noticing a few extra pounds?
If you answered “yes” to any of the above, the first thing that comes to mind is the state of your thyroid.
Hair loss is a complicated problem, and we should begin by using the law of elimination. Since your thyroid is the “master gland” of the body, we need to rule out indications that this tiny little organ is a contributing factor to your hair loss.
Listen and subscribe to our weekly Thyroid Hair Loss Connection Podcast to hear hosts, Kimberly Vaughn and Nataliia Sanzo, have a science-based, candid conversation about how your thyroid affects your hair. Each week, you will learn practical solutions to hair growth, healing your thyroid, and balancing your hormones with a holistic nutritional approach and the latest treatments. Kimberly Vaughn is a certified trichologist, hair loss specialist, and hair coach. Nataliia Sanzo is a registered dietician who is also known as Nashville’s “thyroid expert.” The entire season one is available now.
The Importance of Your Thyroid and Hormones
Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause loss of hair. Hair loss affected by a thyroid disease occurs as diffused loss, which is apparent from the frontal hair line to the nape of the neck. Many times, we also see thinning above the ears and on the sides of the head. This pattern of hair loss is not exclusive to a thyroid imbalance. Female pattern hair loss can be caused by many contributing factors.
When an unbalanced thyroid or hormones are the problem, the hair moves from the growing (anagen) phase to the telogen (shedding) phase much more rapidly due to the stress on the entire body. Allowing hair to continue to thin without conclusive reasoning, diagnosis, or identification is a problem. Determining the root cause of your hair loss is key to moving forward with proper treatment.
