Interview with Kat – Episode 1 of 7
Hot topic for women – menopause and thinning hair from menopause
Kat is so kind to share her journey through menopause working from the inside out, and top to bottom and she explains. Kat was experiencing symptoms she was not used to:
- Hot flushes
- Mood swings
- Anxiety for no reason
- Feeling out of character
- Hair thinning
- Weight gain
In this interview we uncover how Kat addressed all these symptoms in a journey that has ended up in a happy healthy place including happier hair. We hope you will get some good takeaways from Kats journey in these interview episodes.
Menopause Journey
When Kat was experiencing these symptoms, she first visited her GP, a great place to start. But without proper blood tests, she was prescribed antidepressants, yet she was not depressed. Starting a medication can also effect the hair, on top of the menopausal changes. Then when Kat identified the antidepressants weren’t for her, she tried HRT, after some more blood testing. This did alleviate more symptoms, but also affected the hair further.
Thriving in Menopause Podcast – What really fixes thinning hair
By this time Kat was already finding ways to work on herself in a holistic way, knowing there must be better way. This is when she found Thriving in menopause podcast, featuring Trichologist Carolyn at Absolique Hair Health Clinic. Kat resonated with the information and contacted us for help with her thinning hair from menopause.
Thinning Hair from Menopause
Kat was experiencing thinning hair from menopause, hair breakage, hair snapping, and very slow hair growth. Suddenly, her hair was thinner than it had ever been. This was also surrounding a bad hairdressing event. When Kat visited Trichologist at Absolique Hair Health Clinic, we found through microscopic examination, there was thinning hair from menopause, but other factors that had accumulated over time breaking down the hair cycle, preventing normal hair growth.
Hair Loss due to Menopause
Thinning hair from menopause and hair loss due to menopause are different things, but they do overlap for women, particularly from the perimenopause to post-menopause stages in life. This should not be feared, is easy to treat if you address all the underlying causes as we discuss in these interview episodes, including:
- Weight gain
- Food
- Exercise
- Blood tests
- Avoiding toxins
Please listen in to all episodes as we discuss Kat’s journey and share her hair transformation in the first four month of menopause hair loss treatments.
