I didn’t eat red meat for 12 years. I always felt sick and tired. I did everything to try and be healthy. Juicing Wheatgrass , supplement junkie. You name it I tried it. Finally i decided to eat for my blood type. O-. I sat down and ate a steak. Suddenly I was like a crazy wild animal, I couldn’t get enough red meat. I ate a steak for breakfast every day for months . My energy went through the roof. My body got shredded. It was wild. Anyway. Just thought I’d share my experience . I am 50 now, have been shedding for years now. It’s so upsetting, trying to eat more meat. I definitely feel better when I do. I fully agree some of us do better as vegans and some do better as meat eaters.

[@ryanwk1]

Huh

[@wheatonfamily4075]

I second the emphasis on blood type diet and ferritin. About five years ago, I was eating a whole foods diet, but I couldn’t figure out why I was feeling so sick and inflamed. After finding out about the blood type diet, it turns out that all of the healthy Whole Foods was eating was on the “do not eat” list for my blood type. Organic Chicken was giving me arthritis and chronic fatigue! So, I stopped eating all of those and switched to all the recommended ones and I got rid of all my inflammation and had really healthy hair. However, over the next few years I got busier and was not eating as great (only about 40g of protein a day), I found out that after a certain point, my hair started suffering & just wouldn’t grow much. I had my ferritin levels checked. I found out I was only at 23! So, I started taking iron through my functional doctor along with vitality C and I was able to bring up my levels to 70. My hair has grown but still might need to be closer to 100 like he says for a true boost.

The blood type is the most interesting concept and I have stumbled upon it but when I was 17 but I didn't really take action and get my blood tested. Now that I'm 28, I'm going to get it tested tomorrow and really dig into the subject. Regarding the hair loss, it won't hurt to try to incorporate what you're saying to get better hair results.

[@ryoi777]

This is amazing! I wish I knew this 12 years ago when I first started hair thinning at 23. I had people tell me I was going to go bald early. I always had low iron and the doctors would say it's fine and it wasn't too low for infusions. They never suggested supplements even though since 17 I would have dizzy spills and sometimes see stars when I would stand up too quickly. This is such amazing news and I feel I've gained a crazy amount of knowledge and completely understand why I lost half of my hair! Everyone said it was genetic as I look at all of my family members on both sides with crazy amounts of hair into old age. But I always had health issues, gut issues, allergies, thyroid, and tons of blood loss after children. At 28 after my second child my hair feel out in large pieces. I lost hair around all of my head. I see now I had postpardum hair loss with vitamin deficiencies, inflammation, and telegum effluvium. I remember my endocrinologist said get used to hair loss it will eventually all fall out. Very scary to hear at 28. I feel so much more hopeful! Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I have my labs set up this Monday and so excited to start working around the results! I'm also so excited to have this knowledge for my children to keep them in their best health.

Hi Dr, around 2 years ago i went through extreme diet where i kinda starve myself and at the same time i was using hair straightener and was even, then a moth after that i started to lose hair alot until now, when i did my blood test 2 months ago it showed 27.1 ng/l and this month it showed 54.3 ng/l, what am i should be concerned with? what type of hairloss im having?

[@TransformwithTayani]

The doctor kept telling me my iron was low along with vitamin D and I ignored it. My doctor told me I wouldn’t survive long given how low my iron is and took iron for a little while. Now I’m back to my iron saturation and ferritin levels being at 4. My vitamin d is at 17! I started looking internally because I’m losing hair in front and on my sides. Also, my hair won’t grow in the middle (crown area) Thank You for this info.

[@dreamydesignsbyalia]

Survive? Wow

[@thandokuhletshabalala3014]

what can i do to help my gut problems at home? i had gut problems for the last 2yrs and my hairloss also started then as well so after watching this video im convinced that the two are related. i got on to probiotics, antibiotics and even got my blood tested for any infections but the physician found nothing. my gut has been better this year but it's still not 100%. that means i most likely not absorbing the nutrients from food correctly or enough. what is a diy that i can implement at home to help my situation?

[@Rebecca640]

Im taking birth control pill, do you know whether the pill completely blocks the absorption of vitamins and minerals or whether you just have a higher need? I always take them 2 hours apart from nutritional supplements. And in the 7 day break week, is the absorption of vitamins and minerals back to normal or is the liver still too busy breaking down the hormones and therefore cannot store the vitamins?

[@user-su7st6lv2o]

Hi I will give this a try here. Im in my mid 30s, male, and Ive had dreads for the last 12 years that grew to a total weight of 600gramms. Ive always had scales and a pulling sensation on my scalp, until I realised that they shifted around the crown - so I cut them off 6 months ago. And yet the scalp pain remains. There are no visible signs of an inflamation but my scalp reacts to local medication - "ICHTHYOL", but whenever I wash out the product, the pain returns. Ive had mrt's from my head and all, but: How do I stop the pain that turns into headache? Is it the aftermath to my heavy dreads? Is it reversable? My scalp got visible through my - now short not growing hair - and nor mother or father had this. Ive had gut issues for the last year+, though I eat lots of greens, I work out on daily bases and im on Supplements

[@petargenchev2444]

I am blood type A and have two questions 😊 I am 35 years old I was vegan 2017-2021, but added sea food, fish and eggs into my diet. My question is: is it not possible to get iron from so many vegan sources like: legumes, mushrooms, nuts and seeds, dried fruits, soy products, dark leafy greens, broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts, potatoes 🥔 too? Also I had only 31 vitamin D3 in some point, but taking vitamin D these days. My hair has been falling off for the last 10 years, but not aggressively (male pattern baldness) recently had a hair transplant and waiting for the result also added 1mg finasteride a day and topical minoxidil. If the hair is falling off cos of vitamin D deficiency, then can this hair be regrown if Vitamin D goes to good levels 60 or above? Can I take the natural DHT blocker you recommend along with finasteride? Thank you very much for the lovely videos!! And thank you in advance 🙏🔥

After trying everything EXTERNALLY I found your video and for the first time considered it may be something INTERNAL. I checked my ferritin and it was a 4!😱 I have more questions for you…do you do virtual consults? I wait for your videos/podcasts to come out! I’m obsessed w fixing my hair!😩 Would you say beyond the shadow of a doubt that is my issue w a ferritin level of 4?

[@lr2645]

I would definitely get on a good iron supplement. I used to have a low ferritin level of 21 and my hair was super thin. Getting on a high dose of iron daily should help. It takes a couple months to see improvements. If you haven’t I would also definitely check your thyroid as low thyroid can definitely cause hair loss. Also, I feel like micro needling the scalp once a week really helps. I use a derma stamp at 1.5. Good luck to you!

[@bubblesbubble5264]

Very comprehensive thank you. Problem with zinc, i've read it has to be in the right proportion to copper, or else there can be a problem. Copper can help with greying . Can you add copper to your products that have zinc in them? Can have an anti grey benefit. On MT Sinai hospital there is some info on the ideal copper to zinc ratio ( i think it's 10:1 or 8:1 mange like 10 mg zinc)to 1 mg copper . Thank you for the good information . Also, can too much biotin cause hair loss? Also FDA has been advising people abstain from biotin supplements 3 days before certain blood tests including thyroid levels troponin estrogen levels etc , it can create false high or false lows ... it's on FDA website and also on Quest or Labcorp labs under patient advisement . This can cause a false or missed diagnosis

Which nutritional deficiency results in brittle, breaking hair in addition to hair fall? I am one of those people who have been doing everything for a year with no positive results - minoxidi both topical and oral, PRP, collagen, red light device, coconut and castor oil before washing, pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto, etc. My ferritin level is 302, way over the range due to an iron drip in 2023. I have had gut issues for almost 8 years (SIBO). will get tested for D3 and zinc. On supplements for both. Blood type A- who sticks to fish and fowl.

[@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist]

Given your detailed journey and struggles with hair health, despite a comprehensive approach including various treatments and supplements, it's clear that addressing nutritional deficiencies is crucial for improving hair quality. Brittle, breaking hair, alongside hair fall, can often be attributed to deficiencies in essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, vitamin D, and specific B vitamins like biotin. Your approach has been thorough, covering a wide range of treatments and supplements. However, considering your ferritin level is significantly high due to an iron drip, it's important to balance iron levels to avoid potential negative effects of iron overload. High ferritin levels can also indicate inflammation or other health issues, so it's wise to consult a healthcare provider to interpret these levels correctly, especially in the context of gut health issues like SIBO you mentioned. Testing for vitamin D and zinc is a step in the right direction, as deficiencies in these nutrients can significantly impact hair health. Vitamin D plays a role in the hair cycle, particularly in the creation of new hair follicles, while zinc is crucial for hair tissue growth and repair. Given your blood type and dietary preferences, ensuring a balanced intake of nutrients is vital. For individuals with blood type A-, focusing on high-quality fish, poultry, and incorporating plant-based sources rich in the nutrients you might be deficient in is beneficial. However, individual needs can vary, so it's important to tailor your diet and supplementation to your specific health profile, considering your gut health and nutrient absorption capabilities. Addressing gut health is also paramount, as gut issues can severely impact nutrient absorption and overall health, potentially exacerbating hair health problems. A focus on healing the gut, possibly with the help of a healthcare professional knowledgeable in gut health and nutrition, could improve nutrient absorption and, consequently, hair health. For personalized advice and a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, including addressing nutritional deficiencies and gut health, consulting with a trichologist or a healthcare provider specializing in dermatology and nutrition is highly recommended. They can offer insights into your specific situation, taking into account your comprehensive health history, current treatments, and dietary preferences.

My transferrin saturation is 17 % is it low

[@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist]

Transferrin saturation is a measure of the amount of iron that is bound to transferrin, a protein that transports iron in the blood. The normal range for transferrin saturation is typically around 20% to 50%. A level of 17% is slightly below the lower end of the normal range. Low transferrin saturation may indicate a decreased amount of iron in the blood or a reduced ability to bind iron to transferrin. It's important to note that interpreting these results should be done in the context of your overall health, medical history, and other iron-related markers. If you're concerned about your transferrin saturation levels, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare professional. 🔴Melissa ( Customer Service Support) ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/

How much D3 is safe to take ??

[@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist]

Depends on the situation but 10,000 units per day is often the most that is recommended. But that is only after a blood test when your levels are below 30ng/mL

[@kathyverrelli5170]

Too much vitamin A can also cause hair loss, correct? This is found in many products that you don't realize, so you can get way too much in a day.

bro what is blood type diet

[@annacichocka7734]

I've been a vegetarian for 12 years, haven't noticed hair loss, just recently my hair became less thick because of extreme stress. I think I can say that eating lots of seeds and nuts regularly, lots of onion and green leafy veg for iron and zinc and olive oil helped me to keep my hair strong throughout all these years. And marinating my hair in Oilve oil over night helps too.

Will your products help dermatitis seborreica? That’s my own diagnosis. I have hair loss in the area I have the dermatitis. I’m O blood type but I don’t eat meat just fish and vegetables.

Same here. My hair is healthiest and longest it’s ever been (I’ve had telogenic effluvium loss three times!) but I eat hamburger twice a week…when I cut meat and milk, I got ulcerative colitis and that’s when the hair loss started.

my hair was thicker as a vegan but it’s because I supplemented animal products with more complex vitamins and always had access to variety of fruit I’m definitely more low on vitamin c and iron but I just want an all inclusive vitamin I can’t remember to take many vitamins 😂

It makes sense I’m iron deficient because I don’t like dark leafy greens or meat, I do in Asian/Indian food but I work at a retirement home now in the kitchen so I eat a lot of bland ass food . I need to go back to my old diet probably, just don’t know my blood type .

Hey doctor Is coffee bad for hair?

[@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist]

The impact of coffee on hair health is a topic of interest with mixed opinions. Here’s a detailed look at the potential effects: Positive Effects: Caffeine Benefits: Caffeine, a key component of coffee, can stimulate hair growth by increasing blood circulation to the hair follicles. This can help in delivering essential nutrients more effectively. Topical Application: Applying caffeine-containing products directly to the scalp has shown some promise in stimulating hair growth and preventing hair loss, particularly in individuals with androgenetic alopecia. Negative Effects: Overconsumption: Excessive consumption of coffee can lead to dehydration, which might indirectly affect hair health, as hydration is crucial for maintaining healthy hair. Hormonal Impact: High caffeine intake can increase stress hormones like cortisol, potentially leading to hair thinning over time. Conclusion: Moderate consumption of coffee is generally not harmful and might even offer some benefits for hair health. However, excessive intake could potentially have negative effects. ➡️Reach out to us at Advanced Trichology

Biopsy showed LPP + AGA 2 years ago after much hair loss. Started AIP, only had to give up raw dairy, nuts/seeds and nightshades. Itching stopped in 3 days. No balding areas yet. Blood tests are normal. Family history of AGA so using LLLT and just ordered Nutra M. Could the biopsy have been wrong in diagnosing LPP?

From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ Hi Lori! It's certainly possible a biopsy can be wrong but it's not common. Most of time, scalp biopsies are accurate and considered the best way to diagnose scarring alopecia.
