The shedding, the thinning at your temples, the loss of volume that makes you feel like your hair just isn’t yours anymore—it’s not vanity.
It’s a signal.
We’ve been told hair loss in midlife is “just hormones.”
But the truth? It’s not just estrogen or progesterone quietly declining—it’s the way your whole system responds to change.
Stress, thyroid shifts, nutrient depletion, blood sugar swings, even how you’re eating and exercising all join the conversation happening at the root.
In today’s episode, we’re tracing the full story behind hair loss in perimenopause:
- How hormonal shifts—especially falling estrogen and progesterone—set the stage for thinning.
- The role stress, cortisol, and inflammation play in sending follicles into “survival mode.”
- Why iron, protein, and micronutrients like zinc, selenium, and vitamin D are the unsung heroes of regrowth.
- How under-eating, overtraining, or unstable blood sugar quietly tells your body, “Now’s not the time to grow.”
- And why circulation, gut health, and scalp tension can make or break the healing process.
Because hair loss after 40 isn’t random—it’s your body speaking through your roots.
When you learn to listen, support, and nourish instead of fight, your hair can recover—slowly, steadily, from the inside out.
