Today I’m going to share the three best trace minerals for alopecia. Alopecia is an autoimmune disease that causes patches of hair loss on the scalp. This is also sometimes a side effect of other autoimmune diseases, like Hashimoto’s or lupus. Trace minerals are minerals needed in tiny amounts and have profound effects on the body. Related to hair loss, trace minerals can potentially help prevent and treat autoimmune diseases and help build up hair protein. The best trace minerals for alopecia: 1. Iodine (200 mcg per day) The best sources: • Seafood • Sea salt • Sea kelp or seaweed 2. Zinc (50 mg per day) The best sources: • Meat • Fish • Seafood • Beef liver • Eggs 3. Selenium (50 to 200 mcg per day) The best source: • Brazil nuts (one per day) Other important nutrients for hair loss: • Iron • Vitamin B12 • Vitamin D • Biotin • Folate Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 58, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
