#311 | MM - Strong, Healthy, Beautiful Hair

No... this is not a commercial for some special new hair product! In fact, quite the contrary...

In this opening episode of Alter Your Health from Head to Toe we are starting our journey on the top of the head to talk about hair.

Of course, we have hair covering our entire body like any other mammal, but it is generally that which is atop our heads that gets most of the attention... especially when it starts to thin, fall, turn gray, or anything else deemed undesirable by our standards.

It may be common to think about hair as some appendage disconnected from the intricate whole of the body. In reality, however, the quality and resilience of hair is a reflection of our inner state of health (along with skin and nails).

For this reason, topical hair products (shampoos, conditioners, etc.) might make hair look nice in the short term, while doing nothing to address true hair health. In fact, oftentimes products can be more damaging in the longterm.

Tune into this week's Alter Your Health from Head to Toe episode and learn much more about the basics for creating and maintaining strong and healthy hair!

As always, you can join us live each Monday at 12 PT / 3 ET on the Alter Health YouTube Channel! https://www.youtube.com/alterhealth

Some highlights from today's episode on HAIR..

• Nutritional deficiencies can be seen in falling or thinning hair as the body's resources are shunted to higher priority organs/systems
• Hair falling is almost always due to stress, but other inflammatory/immune-related conditions also exist, such as alopecia
• Hair products (shampoos, conditioners, hairsprays, etc.) can be toxic and actually cause poor hair health (and other systemic symptoms)
• Our (mainly Dr. Susanna's!) natural hair care routine with apple cider vinegar and baking soda
• Nutritional and lifestyle considerations to optimize hair resilience (minerals, vit C, zinc, cold water, and more)
