    THE BOUGIE BALDIE featuring guest Johanna Dahlman Part 1

    Kellie launches season two of the Bougie Baldie Podcast and interviews Johanna Dalman, founder of Alopecia Angel and host of the Alopecia Angel Podcast. Johanna recounts being diagnosed with alopecia areata after a stylist found a bald spot, seeing multiple doctors across Europe and the U.S., and declining pharmaceuticals due to fertility concerns and side effects. After four years of research and holistic healing, she regained her hair, resolved related symptoms, and later had a healthy pregnancy at 40. She explains her individualized Hair and Heal program, including a 12-page evaluation, functional medicine testing offered worldwide, and tailored protocols for various hair-loss types, noting many clients see shedding stop quickly and growth within weeks. Johanna critiques medication-driven healthcare, warns of risks such as JAK inhibitors, discusses progress with scarring alopecia, emphasizes community support via international coaching calls, and highlights her 200+ episode podcast; Kellie also promotes The Bougie Baldie Show on Zondra TV and sponsorship opportunities.Links:https://alopeciaangel.comInstagramFacebook Youtube The Bougie Baldie TV Show Bald Confidence is officially out!

    Dreams to Discoveries: Morris Brown on Hair Loss Solutions and More

    Kellie welcomes Morris Brown to the Bougie Baldie Podcast to discuss his background in television, corporate training, and authorship, and how a traumatic brain injury from a rear-end car accident led to unusual side effects and a surge of invention ideas. Morris describes vivid lucid dreams, sensing the “personality” of food and the cook, and waking early with solutions that he develops using AI tools. He shares multiple inventions in progress, including a sugar replacement in liquid and flour forms that tastes like maple syrup, has zero glycemic effect, and is intended to mimic the effects of eating vegetables, plus other concepts such as a new propulsion approach and proposed solutions for tendonitis, Alzheimer’s, fibromyalgia, and hot flashes. The main focus is two hair-related inventions: Ravita Crown, a supplement intended to change hair texture via DNA reprogramming at the follicle level in about three months for people who already have hair, and Reset Protocol, designed to address multiple causes and types of alopecia with a goal of a full head of hair in six months; Morris notes simulated trials showing high success rates and says human trials and FDA-related steps require significant investor funding. He discusses a licensing strategy to work with existing hair industry companies. Kellie also highlights Morris’s 13 books, including Smart Fetus and the children’s series Hanging With the Girls, inspired by his time taking his daughters to parks in Los Angeles; the books use real park photos and he plans cartoons for each book. The episode closes with where to find Morris’s books, a call for investors, and Kellie’s reminders about her support resources and her Bougie Baldie streaming TV show on the Zondra TV network, plus sponsorship opportunities.Linkshttps://ihangwiththegirls.com/  / morris-brown-234b8b11  https://ktla.com/business/press-relea...Books - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGNXL48S?...
