Hair Loss

Hair loss, also known as androgenic alopecia or pattern alopecia, is a common problem that affects large segments of the population. Typical symptoms include receding hairline, loose hair and bald patches that tend to increase in size over time. These issues tend to exacerbate and taking timely preventative measures can be key. It is imperative to understand the underlying issues causing hair loss and how they affect you.

Hormonal
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is an androgenic hormone that causes various bodily male characterististics but it can also be associated with hair loss. That is why maintaining a good hormonal balance in males is very important if one wants to avoid unnecessary hair loss.

Stress
As modern lifestyles facilitate larger and larger amounts of stress in our lives the negative effects of it on our health have continued to become more apparent. Stress is associated with disregulation in epinephrine and cortisol and it is continually shown to cause a variety of issues including hair loss.

Metabolism
Metabolic health affects the way our bodies function as a whole and studies point to the population-wide decline in it over time. Taking steps to stay on top of that must be a priority to avoid several issues, including hair loss.

Nutrition
Getting the right nutrients is essential for all bodily processes. Nutritional deficiencies can be the result of restrictive diets as well as plain issues with modern food production processes.

Aging
As we age our body becomes increasingly prone to issues and key processes, such as the synthetization of collagen and elastin, slow down. Preventative measures become increasingly important as time goes by.
