Takeaways

Hair loss in PCOS is often the result of high androgen levels, like testosterone. If you have insulin resistance, this is likely causing your high androgen levels. Other contributing factors include nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, stress, and gut dysbiosis.
We use a holistic, root cause approach in treating hair loss. Following an anti-inflammatory diet, correcting nutrient deficiencies, lowering stress levels, and repairing the gut can all help to reverse hair loss due to PCOS.
The best part about treating hair loss at the root cause is that other symptoms related to PCOS also improve, like acne, hair growth on face, and mood changes. Here is a summary of our Root protocol for PCOS hair loss: 

  • Balance Blood Sugar
  • Replace vital nutrients (PCOS Core Bundle plus gentle iron if needed)
  • Manage Stress and Adrenal Androgens (Hair Loss Supplement Bundle)
  • Repair gut health if needed to reduce inflammation (Gut Health Bundle)
  • Rule out Thyroid Disorders
The best approach for hair growth includes a combination of nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation. If you are not sure where to start, the first two bullet points are a great place to start for not only hair health, but PCOS in general!
