let’s talk about the difference between normal  hair loss versus pathological hair loss okay now you have hundreds of thousands of hairs  growing on your head at any one given time and the life cycle of a hair is between two and  five years in a normal situation an average person will lose between 50 to 100 strands  of hair every single day so the way that you would figure this out is you just rub your  fingers through your hair with a gentle tug and you should see anywhere between one  and ten hairs in your hand and that is normal but if you keep doing the same  spot over and over and it keeps coming out there’s several reasons for this the biggest  reason is there’s some type of hormonal change going on let’s say you just gave birth or you  are going through menopause this means that your estrogen is high and your progesterone is low  also if you have high levels of a hormone called dht which is a powerful form of testosterone that  can cause hair loss and that condition is called alopecia and then if your thyroid is low that can  also cause hair loss most hypothyroid conditions are autoimmune and that would be hashimoto’s and  so that’s not really a true thyroid problem it’s an immune problem i put some links down below  for more information on that topic now if your cortisol is too high because your stress is too  high that can also cause hair loss also you can lose your hair with certain medications especially  birth control pills which again is the added estrogen anti-depression medication as well as  anti-anxiety medication can also cause hair loss as well as taking insulin if you’re diabetic  that can lead to hair loss now if you have an autoimmune condition called lupus that’s  one cause and another big cause of hair loss is nutrient deficiencies so if you’re  low in vitamin d b12 vitamin c vitamin a especially zinc which is very common low  in biotin which normally comes because there’s some problem in your gut let’s say you’ve  got antibiotics for example then that’s going to kill off the microbes that actually make biotin  and that can lead to hair loss i have a video on that i list it down below and also if you’re  low on selenium which is a mineral that helps you convert t4 to t3 the active form of the  thyroid hormone so low selenium can cause a conversion problem with your thyroid and that can  lead to hair loss if you have not seen some of my other videos on hair loss i’ve done quite a few i  listed them down below check them out hey before you go real quick i have a course entitled how to  bulletproof your immune system it’s a free course i want you to take it and here’s why here’s you  here is your environment everyone is focused on this over here avoiding your environment but  what about here what about strengthening your immune system that’s what’s missing this course  will show you how to bulletproof yourself and so you can tolerate and resist your environment  much better by strengthening your own immune system i put a link down in the description right  down below check it out and get signed up today
