Stop Doing this If You Want Long Hair | Dr Manissha Pandit

Dr Manissha Pandit, health coach specialized in hormone health and hair loss, joins Vicki on the WellSome Podcast to expose the root causes of hair loss that your stylist won't tell you. Your hair is a superficial symptom of deeper issues—specifically, nervous system dysregulation and hormonal imbalance. She explains that stress raises cortisol, putting your body in "fight-or-flight," which halts hair growth. Dr Manissha details how perimenopause leads to estrogen dominance and why women in their early 30s shouldn't be losing their hair. Learn Ayurvedic secrets for nervous system regulation, the lab tests she recommends, and the everyday endocrine disruptors (like toothpaste and body wash) damaging your health.Topics covered:- Hair Loss Starts in the Body: Hair is a reflection of cellular health, hormones, and the nervous system.- The Cortisol Trap: Stress keeps your nervous system sympathetic, preventing your body from feeling safe enough to grow hair.- Hormones: Progesterone dips in perimenopause, often causing estrogen dominance, which contributes to thinning hair.- Actionable Steps: Use lab work (like HTMA) to "test, don't guess" the root cause. - Avoid: Tight hairstyles, heat styling, semi-permanent extensions, and daily endocrine disruptors in products.Have you experienced hair loss or thinning, and what shifts did you make to support your nervous system and hormones?
