Struggling with thinning hair or curious about the latest science behind hair loss and regrowth? In this episode, we dig into the root causes of hair loss and the most promising treatments—from natural supplements to cutting-edge therapies.
We’ll explore a clinical trial showing how pumpkin seed oil may boost hair count in men with androgenetic alopecia, break down the hair growth cycle, and explain how hormones like DHT and stress contribute to hair loss. Plus, you'll hear the latest on low-level laser therapy (LLLT)—a noninvasive treatment showing real promise for both men and women—and a fascinating case study on microneedling for alopecia areata.
Whether you're a healthcare pro or just want to keep your hair healthy, this episode is packed with practical insights and evidence-based options for supporting hair growth naturally and safely.
