In this podcast episode, the hosts explore the main causes of hair loss, with a particular focus on hormonal imbalances, especially the impact of DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Elevated DHT levels, often linked to insulin resistance, obesity, and diets high in sugar and starch, can lead to the shrinking of hair follicles. The discussion also highlights other factors that contribute to hair loss, such as inflammation, nutrient deficiencies (like iron, zinc, and protein), stress, lack of sleep, aging, autoimmune conditions, and certain medications or environmental toxins. The episode encourages listeners to tackle these root causes through dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, and possibly supplements to support healthier hair growth.
