In this episode of The Danette May Show, I sit down with Colleen from Purality to explore the connection between women’s hormones and hair loss, especially during postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause. We talk about how estrogen, progesterone, DHT, cortisol, thyroid function, stress, and nutrient deficiencies may all play a role in changes to your hair. We also get into the nutrients that support healthy hair growth, including iron, ferritin, B vitamins, folic acid, vitamin D, protein, and healthy fats, plus what bloodwork may be worth discussing with your provider. Colleen explains why balanced meals matter, how cortisol can affect the body, the connection between thyroid health and hair loss, and what makes Purality’s liposomal hair support formula different. If you’ve been wondering why your hair is changing and what may be happening beneath the surface, this episode will give you a clearer place to start.
