59. Why Is Your Hair Shedding? A Holistic Deep Dive

Hair loss isn’t just about the scalp—it’s a reflection of what’s happening inside the body. Whether you’re experiencing thinning, excessive shedding, or brittle, weak hair, this episode will help you understand the root causes of hair loss from a holistic perspective.

Today, we’re diving into Western herbalism, Ayurveda, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to explore how stress, nutrient deficiencies, circulation, and imbalances impact hair growth. We’ll cover herbal allies for hair health, the role of the nervous system and stress, and practical rituals to nourish your hair from the inside out.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why hair loss is often a sign that your body is asking for deeper nourishment
• How chronic stress and adrenal fatigue can push hair into the shedding phase
• The role of circulation and why blood flow to the scalp is key for regrowth
• Mineral and nutrient deficiencies that can contribute to thinning hair
  Herbal support for hair health—including adaptogens, nervines, and blood-nourishing herbs
• Ayurvedic & TCM perspectives on hair loss and how they connect hair to overall vitality
