Ep. 545 “Your Diet May Be Worsening Hair Loss” – The Best Nutrition Fixes for Thinning Hair After 40 | Menopause & Hairloss

January 22
14 mins

Episode Description

Today, we have another episode in the YouTube series where I answer listeners’ questions from the Everyday Wellness Podcast and my private free Facebook group, The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow.

We’re continuing the conversation around hair loss today. In the last episode, we covered some common causes of hair loss. In this episode, we discuss how nutrition can either positively or negatively affect it. Some familiar themes come up again, but they’re hard to avoid because in midlife, nutrition is not optional. It’s essential!

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

  • Why a protein-centric diet is vital in middle age 

  • How over-fasting can exacerbate hair loss

  • Why iron is essential for hair growth

  • Foods that are beneficial for their polyphenols and antioxidants

  • Why metabolic health is critical for hair follicle protection

  • How stress and disrupted sleep affect hair loss

  • The value of weight training and maintaining muscle mass 

  • The role of iodine, selenium, and red blood cell magnesium in hair growth and the benefits of an anti-inflammatory diet
