Hair loss isn’t the problem, it’s the message. In this episode, I reveal what your changing hair is really telling you about stress, hormones, and health, and how to finally respond in a way that works. 

August is National Hair Loss Awareness Month and today I’m sharing what I wish every woman in midlife knew: 

It’s not random. It’s not just “getting older.” 

Midlife Hair loss is your body asking for support.

It's often dismissed as cosmetic, but in midlife, hair loss tells a much deeper story.

For many midlife women, it begins subtly: a widening part, more hair in the drain, a shift in texture. For others it's sudden, and terrifying, but it doesn't have to be.

In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the patterns I see most often in my clients.  We’ll explore the different types of hair loss, the real causes (often overlooked), and give you some proactive strategies that actually work.

And I’ll walk you through the key shifts I recommend to my private clients so you can stop guessing, and start getting to the root of what’s happening in your body.

In this episode:

  • The most common types of hair loss in women and how to identify them
  • How nutrient depletion and hormonal shifts are silently impacting your follicles
  • The role of stress, inflammation, and scalp health in regrowth
  • Nutrition strategies that support regrowth from the inside out
