Sometimes it’s the accelerator. Sometimes it’s the trigger that flips hair from growth into shedding.   In this episode of The Wild Wisdom Show, I break down:  ✨ How inflammation affects hair follicles  ✨ Why different hair loss patterns can share the same root issue  ✨ The difference between local vs systemic inflammation  ✨ Why calming inflammation is often a missing piece in hair regrowth   If you’ve been treating hair loss on the surface and not seeing results… this may be the “aha” you’ve been missing.   🎥 Watch now & let me know in the comments: Which type of hair loss are you navigating right now?   ✨ Want more tools for strong, healthy hair?   Check out my:   ✅ Healthy Hair Playlist:  LINK: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-Jz-7U8Hy6odKOFcXR8ANJrthAmmncQv   ✅ Inflammation Playlist:   LINK: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-Jz-7U8Hy6qr0nlsRLzXwPLa8ze_-aT9   ..for deep dives into inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, hair-growth supplements, and more.   To your best health,    Dr. Patricia Mills, MD | Holistic Health & Hormones Specialist in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Functional Medicine Practitioner 📕 My ebook ‘The Personalized Diet Solution’ is available for download! -  https://discover.drpatriciamills.com/the-personalized-diet-solution-1   📲Follow me:    💌 Sign up for my e-newsletter and never miss a beat - https://patriciabmills.activehosted.com/f/23 🫶 IG -  https://www.instagram.com/dr.patriciamills/ 💕 X -  https://x.com/Patrici00371369/status/1786108425178604022 🤝 LI -  https://www.linkedin.com/in/drpatriciamills/ 💻 FB Women’s Group -  https://www.facebook.com/groups/wildwisdomforwomen/ 🌐 Website - https://drpatriciamills.com/ 📕 My ebook ‘The Personalized Diet Solution’ is available for download! -   https://discover.drpatriciamills.com/the-personalized-diet-solution-1   #CollagenBenefits #CollagenForSkin #CollagenForJoints #BoneHealth #JointHealth #SkinHealth #HormoneHealth #HealthyAging #NaturalHealth #FunctionalMedicine #WildWisdomShow #HolisticHealth #WomensHealthTips #BeautyFromWithin #HealthyHormones #WellnessWithScience #RadiantSkinNaturally #StrongBonesNaturally #JointSupport #collagensupplements    ****************************************************************************************************** Please note the following medical disclaimer: By viewing this video you understand that this video is for educational purposes only.
