How to STOP & REVERSE Hair Loss in Perimenopause: Secrets to Healthy Hair - Dr. Taz

[@desert_moon]

I'm at the end of several months of telogen effluvium brought on by extreme emotional and mental stress from taking care of my unmedicated 91yo MIL with severe dementia w/severe behavioral disturbance. She is very difficult to deal with. The stress caused me to drop weight, and rapidly, which in turn caused some nutritional deficiencies. It didn't help that many times I was so exhausted by the end of the day that I chose sleep over eating. My blood pressure also dropped very low instead of rising, which would cause me to feel faint and dizzy. My hair is starting to come back but wow. It definitely took a hit.

[@Baigum.Shifaa]

Thank you so much for a generous amount of information. More doctors need to share selflessly so people who cannot be their patients can still learn.

[@DrTazMD]

You're very welcome! Sharing knowledge can make such a difference. Are there any other health topics you’d like to learn more about?

[@daniellemackenzie6641]

Hi Dr. Taz! Wonderful of you to share more and more information. Thank you so much. I have a topic of interest. I do understand that everything that is recommended is case by case/customized to each individual patient, but I'll give it a try. What are some safe ways to begin using topical progesterone?

[@Baigum.Shifaa]

@@DrTazMD would love to learn more about copper peptides. I'm sure many other women would be interested in it. Thanks again.

[@DrTazMD]

Copper peptides are a great topic! Would you be interested in learning about how to incorporate them into a skincare routine or potential benefits for hair as well?

[@Baigum.Shifaa]

@@DrTazMD would be very interested in learning how it's used for hair. Copper peptides are something very unfamiliar to me and like many other women, I'm very eager to learn how functional medicine doctors use peptides. Thank you.

I use organic APPLE CIDER VINEGAR rinse .. which has helped me quite a bit every time I’ve lost my hair due to stress and ex androgens years ago. I remember reading that it helped to eliminate excess antigens and so I started to do that and every time it helps my hair to come back.

[@blissfulbaboon]

Wow,thank you dearly for this beautifully articulated,accurate and comprehensive education on the causes and treatments for hair loss.Well done 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 ❤❤

[@TseringTara-gq1cj]

Hi Dr. TazMD, I’m 48, my hairs are shredding a lot. I’m so sad. I am so thankful for all interesting information that you shared in this videos. I am going to try those products east west which I never heard before. Thanks so much!

[@DrTazMD]

I'm sorry to hear about your hair loss-it's really tough. I'm glad the information has been helpful, though!

[@loisevora2717]

Hello, this was so helpful. I was diagnosed with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia in October of 2023. I have thinning and two bald spots. One bald spot is in the very top and the other is in the crown area.

[@Learntarott]

Look at video by Dr sten ekberg about problems with thyroid. You should look at your tsh and take supplements to help support your thyroid

[@rosamoreno4794]

I am 47 and in premenopause but my hormone panel came back normal. It was my TSH that came in at .19 low which means overactive thyroid. I had sever hair breakage and dryness, my gorgeous long hair is no more.

[@DrTazMD]

I'm sorry to hear about your hair changes; that can be so frustrating. Low TSH could indeed contribute to hair issues. Have you spoken with your doctor about thyroid management options?

[@rosamoreno4794]

@@DrTazMD I see both my primary care and GYN in NOV for follow-ups and also keep my board certified dermatologist in the know. The dermatologist gave me oral minoxidil in the meantime, been on it for 4 weeks. At day 5 I had a huge shed and I still have huge sheds every other day when I was my hair. It’s been a nightmare 😩

[@MsJakee1977]

​@@rosamoreno4794 from what I know of minoxidil, it initially causes hair to shed but keeps the hair that is in the growth phase. That's what I recall being told.

[@LoveGuruBlaire]

what exactly did you do to bring your hair back? you said you had this in your teens and then worse during peri --- also what is the dose of zinc and b vitamins you recommend --- can you take vit b vitamins daily, forever?

[@MichelleVoegtline]

I was about to buy your products but when I read through privacy policy of your company, I wouldn’t buy the products. Your company would own my information. That’s so ridiculous! I rather go to a store purchase what I want and don’t have to give my address, phone number, and email address.

Thank you for the comment and heads up. She should reply to it...

[@Starlightandcrystals]

My aunt is over 70 .She has a lot of hair and always had a lot of hair. I think we shall look at what we eat,because it influence the body.Eating low fat and no this and no that. Just my opinion.Massaging your scalp or comb it several times a day til you feel warm, helps hair not falling out

[@anne-louisegoldie]

Very helpful, thank you 😊xx

[@JMSsssssss]

Awesome information thank you. I've already had a lot of testing done. Hormonally i am codominant, not one or the other. My cortisol level wasn't concerning. I'm shedding like crazy, have been for quite a while, and my hair loss is both at my temples and then generally throughout my scalp to where my ponytail is thin. Probably thinner on the top half of my head than the bottom. I bought an irestore elite helmet in august but have not seen any improvement so far. I'll keep using it til the year is up and get my money back if it's a bust. I was on transdermal hrt for years and then a short course of SL hrt until i developed PEs last july. So, now just local hrt. I honestly don't think taking hrt was making a difference anyway, my hair was still falling out. I've tried just about everything, except the dht blocker that came with my helmet. Nervous about that one, since my dht level wasnt high. What was high though was my SHBG, which i suppose could be related to the long term hrt, though my hormone levels were balanced. I should get that checked again i guess now that im just using local hrt. Sigh. My nails suck too, soft and brittle, though not all of them. My thumbnails and toenails are holding up. Keep on truckin i guess.

[@sharoncastaneda597]

Can castor oil and rosemary oil help. I think I have thyroid related hairloss and tons of breakage from all over my head.

[@snowbike8032]

Excellent information! I am 10 years post menopause and suddenly have hair falling out. I fit your description of Androgen Dominance. I'm a believer in the healing benefits of red light therapy... do you have a laser cap that you would recommend? I'm awaiting hormone test results and have appointments with doctors, but do not want drugs. There is so much information and thousands of tips for what to put on your hair that I'm overwhelmed. I've heard that crushed hibiscus flower + coconut oil paste for 30 min. 1-2 x a week is helpful. Not sure where to start but my diet is excellent... I have cut out refined sugar, flour, gluten, dairy and will only eat clean meat that isn't mass produced. Thank you for any information that you have to share.

[@JMSsssssss]

I have an irestore elite, I've been using it since late August 2024. So far my hair just keeps falling out. I'll keep using it for the required year and see what happens.

[@regina6838]

I am not sure which type of hair loss I have. It seems like the chemicals in shampoo because I get a lot of hair loss after washing my hair. While wet no hair fall. But as soon as it dries I get hair loss until the next time I wash my hair.

[@dharma__3]

Unfiltered shower water can cause hair loss too; chlorine and other chemicals harm the scalp.

[@marieball1772]

Do your research on the ingredients in the hair products that you are using. Most commercial brands have ingredients that cause hair loss.

[@regina6838]

@marieball1772 I am making my own shampoo and conditioner exactly for this reason. I get less hairloss during a shower but still get hairloss after a shower.

[@sumbodyreal]

What is the name of your favorite treatment where the hot oil is placed on your pineal gland?

[@JiniusBeauty]

Hello! Thank you for your channel and the information you provide! You covered a lot of different types of issues with androgens, I'm wondering, do any of these help with androgen sensitivity? I belive my hyperandrogenism, which causes thin hair, dermatitis, hursitism, etc, is due to oversensitivity, an abnormal reaction of my body to normal hormonal fluctuations as I usually have normal to low levels of Testosterone. Spironolactone lowerd my Testosterone to a point where I had very low levels and was suffering from various side effects due to it. I am in the journey to find what might help my hormonal sensitivity androgen wise when I found your video. If a topic on this matter might be discussed in any of your future videos, it would be immensely appreciated!!

[@nancywheeler8359]

Thank you doc

[@twinklestar1545]

So we shouldn't be taking dairy? How would we then get calcium because I'm at risk of osteoarthritis due to rheumatoid arthritis?

[@IVvOOvVI]

I think there are some liquid calcium that you can take but make sure you also take I believe magnesium and D2 or is it K2? I forgot, but please do your research before you take anything.

[@twinklestar1545]

@ thank you for your reply!! I need to do some research…so confusing what to take

[@traceylennon1204]

​@IVvOOvVI Solgar has a liquid vitamin with all you described in the ingredients; magnesium,vitamin D3 and Calcium..as far as K2 it should be taken with Vitamin D3..Perhaps take a K2 supplement separately with it!

[@dharma__3]

High blood calcium causes blocked arteries and heart disease. You need Vitamins D3, K2 and Magnesium to make sure the calcium gets into your bones. If you don't, you'll have hypercalcemia. Maybe you should do some research before blindly taking tons of calcium if you care about your health.

[@sweetpfitkerr7875]

Hi Dr Taz, My scalp has been burning and tender for 5 years. Recently i found two bald spots in the top right side and middle back. How can i find out how to treat this and what kind of Alopecia is this??I was prescribe Doxycycline for inflammation but Im afraid of the side effects. Thank you.

[@shalinigupta5736]

Dr. told me I have androgen alopecia😢 Can it be cured or not ..???

[@MsRenaissance]

@DrTaz Hello Doc, i motice you didnt speak about scarring alopecia or CCCA. Would you say the itching and burning scalp and subsequent hair loss has anything to do with low estrogen or progesterone? You see, when i got to 41 i started experiencing severe fatigue, a horrible flare up of acne, brian fog, a bigger belly and itching burning scalp and loss most of the hair at my crown. I hwve come to mow believe i 2as experiencing the onset of perimenopause. So I'm asking if you think perimenopause could be the cause of my hair loss and irritaed scalp and what would you recommend I use or take to get my hair back?

[@judywebb8095]

What do you suggest for low thyroid ?

[@beautifulone5509]

[@flowergirl8887]

I read years ago that drinking spearmint tea is supposed to lower DHT levels. Have you heard about this? Thank you

[@angelica0269]

Yes it helps!!! Do your own research 😉 I take Mary’s Ruth Hairgrow multivitamin with a key ingredient called Lustriva and also take a saw palmetto DHT blocker from Advanced Trichologist along with their Omegas 3-6-9 and Seeds probiotic. For stress I take Ashwaghada supplement and magnesium and topically I use Divi scalp treatment at night and three times a week I apply on concern scalp areas a Tretinoin cream (just a touch rubbing the scalp with it) the follow with the Divi scalp treatment and wash the next day. An anti-inflammatory diet is a must so I drink Turmeric/pineapple/ginger homemade juice or tea plus turmeric supplements from Youtheory. Check your vitamin levels as this is important as well. My dr orders this test for me every year.

[@LindaWisdomphotography]

This is the type of helpful info NHS GPs have ZERO knowledge about. If you go to one all they suggest is to try Minoxidil or to just jump on spironolactone and that's all they got. They are useless, and why I am thankful for KZbinrs like yourself who are willing to share and educate so people can try more natural and holistic methods to see if these work first.

[@DrTazMD]

hope this is helpful 🙏🙏

Im told some hair growth products cause weight gain does this product do that

[@maridith2325]

Thank you so much for the information. I just realized that what I have is called Frontal fibrosing alopecia. Do your supplements help with that type of hair loss? Thanks.

Iron is toxic stay away

[@Countrygirlwithasideofgangsta]

Diagnosed with Androgenic Alopecia and two MTHFR Gene mutations. Also, my testosterone is very high and no one can tell me why. I was told that I am now in premenopause but I should still be having periods(according to my lab results). They can't seem to figure out what has stopped my periods so abruptly either. I had to start wearing wigs 4 years ago due to the texture n severe thinning. Is it possible to have my own hair again? ~confused

[@IVvOOvVI]

There to wear works it’s just easier to get ready in the morning. I need to do that too because I have white hair and I do lose a lot of hair in the shower, but the white hair I have is on top of my head and on the side, like I have gray on the side and underneath the topcrown I have some gray white hair like sprinkle throughout and I am 47

[@IVvOOvVI]

What does really high estrogen mean? I am close to 50.

Have you reached out for a consultation with a trichologist to go over possibilities and holistic options?
