Let’s talk about how to get rid of facial hair if you’re a female.
The top cause of facial hair in females is PCOS. But, there are other potential causes, including a tumor on the adrenal glands or pituitary gland or Cushing’s syndrome.
Symptoms of PCOS:
1. Heavy cycles
2. No cycles
3. Acne
4. Infertility
5. Insulin resistance
The top cause of PCOS is high androgens. There is a lot of conflicting information on the internet and various suggestions on how to help improve this condition-but these recommendations can be confusing.
I believe that excess insulin increases androgens, so high insulin is the root cause of PCOS, which then leads to facial hair. In my opinion, a good solution would be to lower insulin.
How to lower insulin:
1. Lower your carb intake
2. Cut out snacks and decrease the frequency of your meals

[@mariahmcbride9017]

Dr Berg, please dont forget a commonly forgotten cause of elevated androgens in females- CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA. Both PCOS and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) present with high androgens but differ in that the former usually presents with high cortisol/insulin resistance, and the latter with low cortisol and aldosterone. I’m a female with high testosterone. It was misdiagnosed as lean PCOS with zero elaboration. As my strange symptoms progessively got worse over the years, I had no option but to become my own health advocate as the standard treatment approach of PCOS (birth control) did not help me but actually caused my symptoms to get worse. MUCH WORSE. After 6 years of investigation, monitoring symptoms, and learning as much as I can about my own health through blood work and tracking menstrual cycles, I came to the undeniable conclusion that my “PCOS” was somehow intertwined with my adrenal glands. A naturapath/hormone specialist I was seeing finally agreed to run some labs which showed I had a significantly elevated testosterone as well as basal 17 OHP (progesterone) paired with very low cortisol. I took those pathology results to an endrocrinologist who then diagnosed me with NCCAH (non classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia). A commercial genetic test revealed that the cause of my NCCAH was a defeciency of of the enzyme 21-hydroxylase. This enzyme defeciency causes low cortisol which is what caused the majority of my symptoms.. At the time I thought my symptoms were possibly neurological (blurry vision, shaking hands and legs, severe weakness, fainting, nervousness but exhausted etc) but now understand that they were all textbook symptoms of hypoglycemia which was ultimately due to the low cortisol. I learned that the impaired cortisol biosynthesis leads to a dramatic overproduction of testosterone. This overproduction of testosterone was the cause of my hyper androgenic symptoms such as severe hair loss, excess facial and body hair, early and rapid puberty, mood swings, infertility, and polycystic ovaries. Being that congenital adrenal hyperplasia is relatively common, I'm unsure as to why it isnt discussed more. If you are a women with PCOS, yet not overweight, I highly suggest you look into your adrenal health. Getting copies off any and all bloodwork you have done is KEY. If I can prevent just one person from dealing with the years of suffering that comes along with CAH, the novel I just wrote will be so worth it. If western medicine doctors are continuing to medically gaslight you into believing that your symptoms aren't real, DONT GIVE UP. Being your own health advocate through deep research and monitoring WILL GIVE YOU ANSWERS! Don't give up!!!!!

[@5050TM]

Good tips. Hope you're feeling much better.

[@kristinpruett7733]

Is this why low carb low sugar doesnt help get rid of losing hair and getting facial hair. I'm considered just barely overweight. But it's incredibly hard to lose weight even on keto and fasting. And I still have all the things

so facial hair is not the only symptom fpr pcos, right?

[@sombraenlaluna]

How long to see period back as regular 😊

You're right Dr Berg, it's so confusing 🙆I have this condition(hirsutism). My mom and mom's side of the family has it.

Hello from Brazil Dr Berg. Could you talk about melasma? I know it is related to estrogen and progesterone. In my case, it started to appear in my thirties. I have done some fasting for other reasons but I have not noticed difference. I wonder if there is something I can do other than avoiding sun and using sunscreen.

[@Aspen-xo7oc]

Other adrenal gland medical issues besides Cushings is 17 or 21 hydroxylase deficiency can cause facial hair due to high level of androgens. It’s my understanding when the pituitary coverts cholesterol to cortisol it skips either the 17 or 21 step. An endocrinologist is the best to evaluate and treat accordingly.

I am pre-diabetic and I have soft very blond slight downy hair along the “sideburns” and onto a bit of jawline. Im 62, and it was something my mother had as well, as I’m well past menopause. With a major life change I’m making in my diet and exercise plan, trying to lose weight,also adjusting to increased dosages of my anxiety medication.. I’m just not keen on piling on any more responsibility of more meds right now. SO… I will do what I’ve been doing for years, shaving off that downy facial hair. It does not return thicker or darker nor do I have to do it more than 3 times a week. I have a scar from an accident on my chin , from which started growing two thick wiry hairs years ago and it started when I shaved those away after plucking them out did nothing. I am ok with how I deal with the issue, it was a bit odd feeling at first but I eventually became comfortable with it- and why not?

[@Nonyah123]

hmm, considering you're post menopausal and the hair is soft vs coarse, that doesn't sound like a hormonal hair issue, at least nothing to be concerned about. I would say the way you're dealing with it is perfectly fine, a long term solution if you really want, would be laser hair removal, but it doesn't work as well on blond, soft hair, better for coarse hair.

Hi Doc, please make a video on greying hair

[@2ndChanceAtLife]

Interesting how in the USA, men with Grey hair are called distinguished and women with Grey hair are called hags. This is changing, thankfully.

[@brrjohnson8131]

I'm very curious about my lack of grey at my age, my brother's 5 years younger & has plenty of grey. I have maybe 10 grey hairs. People have assumed I dye my hair for the last 20 years. It's annoying being called a liar over such a petty issue. I've cut out multiple friendships because of it.

[@rockyabhay]

@@brrjohnson8131 Is it possible one of your parents has grey hair and your brother got those genes but you did not? Other wise if you can list all the foods you eat that your brother does not may be it can help others to test.

[@brrjohnson8131]

@@rockyabhay we live in different states. No idea what he eats. My diet is limited due to intercystial cystitis (no citrus, onion, tomato, etc., only since '05) Brother has very little gray for 55 yo but his is visible, mine isn't. Mom & dad never went completely snow-white in their 80's. I also don't have age spots, but attribute that to my vitamin w selenium. I realize it's somewhat genetic. Still very strange.

[@Alina-ws6ob]

I sometimes go on a raw food diet 80% raw vegetables and 20% cooked vegetable protein or fish. It seems to help a lot with my unwanted facial hair. And the best way to get rid of unwanted hair is by waxing it and using some type of growth inhibitor.

[@anitamarshall7528]

Dr. Berg references heavy menstrual cycles. I am now 62 years old but I can remember when I was in my early 30s, my menstrual cycles were so heavy that I literally had to buy a pack of newborn baby diaper. The overnight pads were never absorbent enough I could never even use tampons that was a waste. As a result of my heavy periods over time, I developed anemia. I started doing some research and realized I needed to stop eating sugar. I stopped eating sugar and white breads. I continued to eat berries… Like blueberries strawberries blackberries and would treat myself with some pineapple once in a while.By the next months cycle I could not believe the difference in my menstrual flow. I just could not believe that sugar alone was the cause. But it’s a fact in my life. Another benefit from not eating sugar is that my toenail fungus (both of my big toenails were yellow and thick) grew out. It took about three months to have my nail healthy again.

Thank you Dr Berg so much for all your videos. Incredible amounts of knowledge you share. I recognise that PCOS is overlooked a lot and this is a serious issue that can be avoided by change of diet, herbs and supplements. Highly appreciated.

I went from heavy cycles to no cycles at the age of 42, my voice has always been on the deeper side, and as many times as I have missed taking my birth control pills when I was younger because of the nausea, I should’ve been pregnant so many times. But never once got pregnant so I believe I was infertile. But don’t have to worry about that now at my age. I only have the peach fuzz and they’re white So can’t really see them unless you look really close. It is annoying that they can get a little on the longer side so I do have to trim them up

Thank you Dr Berg! I’m 40 and just started getting facial hair around 5 years ago. Seems crazy but When my gallbladder was removed is when mine started. Dr put me on progesterone and it seemed to get worse. So frustrating as a woman. Appreciate your help!

Same was my case, full facial hair...Masha Allah now no more facial hair after lowering insulin......simple cut carbs or go for low carb and cut sugar +dairy...your facial hair will disappear in a month

Bible asked us to observe a fast we sometimes find it difficult to do, now it's been scientifically proven what fasting can do to the body. Fasting shows us how much we have total control of our body both physically, mentally and/or otherwise

Some of the earlier Dr Berg’s videos on pcos, on hormones, ect, should help reverse this.
