42. My Hair Secrets at 60. The Unexpected Connection between Your Hair Health and Your Gut Health

Hair loss can feel frustrating, personal, and impossible to fix, especially when it seems to show up out of nowhere. In this episode, Lisa Garrett breaks down one of the most common complaints she hears from women over 45: thinning, shedding, brittle hair that just does not feel like you anymore. Instead of chasing miracle shampoos or trendy supplements, she brings the conversation back to what matters most: the health of your gut.Lisa explains why hair is one of the last places your body sends nutrients, which means any gut dysfunction, chronic inflammation, blood sugar chaos, or long-term stress can show up first in your scalp, your skin, and your energy. She connects the dots between poor nutrient absorption, cortisol, hormone imbalance, and the foods that can actually help your body rebuild from the inside out.This episode is both practical and reassuring. Lisa gives clear starting points for supporting healthier hair through real food, better digestion, and honest stress management, while reminding listeners that lasting results do not come from surface-level fixes. They come from giving the body what it has been asking for all along.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why hair is one of the last priorities in the body.How poor gut health can lead to thinning, shedding, and brittle hair.The role of inflammation, cortisol, and blood sugar in hair loss.Which foods can support gut healing and healthier hair growth.Why better hair starts from the inside, not the shower shelf.KEY MOMENTS00:01 – Lisa introduces the link between thinning hair and gut health02:20 – Why nutrient absorption matters for stronger, healthier hair04:48 – How chronic stress and high cortisol keep hair stuck in the shedding phase09:37 – Lisa shares gut-supportive foods that can help improve hair growth25:55 – Why there is no magic supplement and better hair starts withinFREE GUT ANALYSIS CALL🎁 Schedule your free gut analysis call with me!CONNECT WITH LISA📱 Instagram: @lisagarrettnutrition🌐 Website: https://www.lisagarrettnutrition.com/SUPPORT LET’S TALK SH*T✨ Love what you’re hearing?
