Firstly, if you have ever been told menopause hair loss is normal, age related or to just accept it, this is not true.
Menopause hair loss is not normal and there is a lot you can do about it once you understand causes and treatments.
Causes of Menopause Hair Loss
Accumulation – By the time women reach menopause, they have overcome many obstacles with health, monthly cycle, childbirth, nutritional lows, stress and more.
Interrupted hair cycle – Every menopause hair loss case I see have an interrupted hair cycle which results in a breakdown of normal hair growth, and no one ever checked.
Hereditary – For women this gene is recessive, so you need genes from both parents on top of the menopause hormonal trigger.
Hormones – This is our own hormonal havoc these days, our endocrine systems are all out of order.
Environmental – This is hormones in the food, mainly animal protein. There are also synthetic hormones we are exposed to from birth control, HRT and other medications. Xenoestrogens in our personal care products play a part here too.
Free Radical Effect – This is a damaging effect on the body. Our innate protection from free radicals is to make antioxidants. Meeting women with menopausal hair loss, they have long stopped producing enough antioxidants to combat the increasing free radical effect.
Treatments for Menopause Hair Loss
Health Check – Talk to your doctor, get a full health check, bring your blood tests to your Trichologist to identify nutritional lows.
Hair Check – Microscopic diagnosis can tell so much about your health and hair growth status to chose the right treatment for you.

Environmental – Ask for a free copy of our toxic decoder to learn about the xenoestrogens and what to avoid. Replace personal care and household products with safe ingredients.
