Hair Loss Diet Book?

by Lou
(UK)

Hi, I have been reading about the hair loss diet as I have been suffering for almost 2 years now (30 year old female). My doctor is useless so I have set about working out an approach myself.

Is there a book available to purchase? I have seen the FAQ book, but wondered if anything else was available? The web site is useful but I wonder if I am missing a source of info on the diet.

Thanks,
Lou

21 Year Old Female Hair Loss

by Marlene
(California)

Hi Everyone! So I started noticing my hair thinning about 2 years ago when I was 19. I went to the doctor and he did my blood work and said I was iron deficient, but that my thyroid was fine. He told me to start taking iron supplements and I did religiously, hoping that that was the cause of my hair loss.

My iron level was at 12 and over the course of about a year it rose to 52. Even with that increase I still noticed my hair shedding. I dreaded looking in mirrors and seeing how thin my hair had become. I felt like I was being very proactive with my hair loss. I changed shampoos, stopped curling my hair, but nothing seemed to work. I've always had long hair, but I could no longer keep the same style without the weight making it look so thin.

I took the plunge from having hair that was up to my belly button and got a bob hair cut. The shorter length allowed me to disguise the thinning better. During this time I was working out 5-6 days a week and I would do everything from bikram, swimming, kick boxing zumba, weight lifting and running. Now looking back I'm sure I didn't get enough protein and I was working out way too much.

Well, my questions are is weight lifting bad because it raises testosterone, which turns into DHT and what are your thoughts on the Viviscal hair loss supplement?

I Want My Health & Hair Back

by Yvette
(Delaware)

I am 38 years old and I've lost a significant amount of hair at the crown of my hair. I went to specialists over the years and have been told that is is hereditary. I am at my wits end and want to try an all natural healthy lifestyle with whole foods, supplements and exercise. Hey, if it doesn't grow my hair back, I would at least be healthier, period.

Whole Foods and Hair Loss

by Frank
(Hull)

Hello out there. I'm a male with thinning and balding hair. I have a few questions about whole foods. Yes, I read about whole food on this site. Is chopped chicken a whole food? If not, is it then a no go?

I'm living with my parents, and I don't decide what to buy, so it's difficult for me to buy all the right things to eat.

I also have a problem every morning with breakfast, I just don't know what to eat. Normally I eat eggs, but it isn't good to eat too many eggs. What do you mean about organic oat meal with organic milk?

Hair loss is a devastating thing, I hate it so much! It's really destroying my life, I feel like everybody's looking at my thinning hair. I will do what ever it takes to regrow my lost hair, really!

Yesterday I decided to shave my hair down to 3mm, will it help my hair to grow back healthier? I started to use emu and almond oil, hopefully it will help, maybe not much, but even if it helps a little, I will be happy.

I read the success stories in here, and they gave me a little hope to get my lost hair back. Can I really get my hair back? As i said before my hair is thinning, and on the top of my head you can see my scalp, even when my hair wasn't this short!

I really hope I can get my hair and my life back again!

Nutrition Supplementation and Hair Loss

by John
(Texas)

I am 29 and began getting hair receding at about 24 years old but it wasn't noticeable until about 26 or so. When I was 27 I went to a clinic that specialized in nutrient therapy, called Orthomolecular medicine.

To make a long story short, I went there because of anxiety issues and wanted to take a natural approach. They did some nutrient blood tests and found I was low in several nutrients. I was given a nutrient formula and within a few months, my hair stopped receding.

After a year or so on the formula, I stopped it and the receding started back big time. I never made the connection until restarting the formula again and then stopping again. I am now on the formula again but my hair has receded and thinned so much while off the nutrients that I am now about a number 3A on the Hair Loss Chart.

It is weird because I have been on other high dose nutrient formulas and only this one stopped hair loss. I am on a strict Paleo diet with plenty of green juices, high quality meats, and all other natural foods. It is high fat, though, because it is Paleo.

I went off the nutrients while doing the Paleo diet and taking various Food Based nutrients, but the hair loss continued. So, the formula does do something and nothing else has worked.

p.s. I refuse to use those harsh chemicals!

Changes For Hair Loss Nutrition

by Owen
(West of Ireland)

This is my story of losing my hair at 21. I went from having a nice head of hair to bald on top and rough on the sides. I grew up in a very stressful household and this eventually led me to alcohol to deal with it. I took alot of drugs too and i also suffered from severe anxiety and panic attacks. This eventually let to Xanax and other tablets for relief.

I became very addicted for many years and it came to the stage where I was on the edge of life and death with drink, drugs and tablets. Luckily I had bumped into a very old lady friend of mine for a couple of months prior to my meltdown and made me realize I had to change my life before it was too late. I decided that i wanted to get clean and free from this awful addiction.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I gave up the tablets with a very traumatic withdrawals, I gave them up way too quick, without medical supervision, very silly and lucky to be alive really. Anyway 2 years later I am free of my tablet addiction, I still drink quite a bit though. Iam Irish, so I suppose that's an excuse for now! :) and a lot of things are very positive.

Recently I have changed my diet quite a bit and am eating a lot of whole organic meals and trying to find a good balance for my individual being.

My hair is coming back a lot in the past year, I think it's mainly because I have eased the stress and I am at the other side of the withdrawals from the tablets, I feel at ease now.

Now Iam really interested in learning about nutrition and mostly of all how to get my hair back thick. Its there now, only you cant see it! I have lots of energy and want to learn peace.

Should I Continue Cool Laser Treatment

by Jenny

Hello, I am new to this site (and the diet). I am 36 years old and have been told I have androgenic alopecia and a little of the telogen alopecia. My hair has been thinning at a really good rate for almost a year now. There is no history in my family so I am pretty sure it is the blood sugar. But my question is, before I figured this all out to where it makes sinse I started at a hair restoration place with the cool laser treatments twice a week. I am wondering if anyone has had any experiences with these and if I should continue.

I just started the diet 4 days ago, a big change because I normally skip meals, I never ate much sugar but never really took care of myself! Any comments appreciated. Thanks!

I Need Hair Loss Diet Motivation

by Nicky
(Faraway)

Hi guys, I thought about going on this diet and was wondering if there is anybody among you, who is very dedicated to this and disciplined? I thought that it would be a great idea if we just keep us accountable every other day (!) and give each other tips etc.

That would be not only great for us to keep on being motivated, but I totally believe we can encourage each other so this method just HAS to work! :)

I'll create an extra gmail account if anybody of you is willing to do this with me :)

We can do this. And happy growing to all!

Hi there; I have alopecia to the point where people are asking me outright if I'm going bald! Lovely!! No punches pulled this side of the world I'm afraid. It's devastating for me.

I've been trying to combat the loss of my hair for almost ten years using aldactone; minoxidol; potions/lotions but never diet!! I'm addicted heavily to sugar, bread, cakes so I realise I'm a perfect candidate for this new way of life.

I have also been diagnosed with auto-immune disease (though no one can actually tell me what that is or means) and tested positive for lupus (though technically I don't have lupus?????).

I want my hair back...

I don't allow too many people to get close to me; only a few family/close friends actually know for sure that I'm losing my hair, though lots of people suspect though I hide it as well as I can. I worry all the time about the moment when I wake up and it's all gone. My head tingles, and I wait for the hair to fall out.

I've tried lots of shampoo; the latest one from a very well known house of hair (Kesastase) made especially for thinning hair, burnt my scalp and the hair broke off. I cried some more. But tears really don't help so today is the first day of my new way of life - please note I didn't say to start my diet. I believe there's more than just a little truth in the premise behind this regime and I'm going to go 150% at it. I have nothing more to lose - my hair is already on its journey - I'm just a passenger.

Love and light to you all; I hope you are strong and keep to this programme - have no photos at the moment but will upload later. Too sad to do so now.
