Common Cause of Alopecia in Women

Oh Where, Oh Where Is My Hair?

Are you finding chunks of hair on your pillow or shower floor and wondering what’s going on?  Are you starting to get concerned about just how much is left on the brush and how little is on your head?  When women start losing hair, it can be unnerving, and downright scary.  It’s like losing a part of your identity.  So why is it happening?

A recent Wall Street Journal article talks about how hair changes as women and men age, and that the most common type of hair loss, or alopecia, is hereditary thinning.  What the article failed to address, however, is another very common – and treatable – cause of alopecia in women:  hypothyroidism.

How Hypothyroidism Causes Hair Loss

Hypothyroidism decreases the circulation of blood in your body, causing your body to focus on sending blood to the brain and vital organs.  All the energy and resources your body can spare are being funneled to the most necessary organs for survival.  Meanwhile, other organs and extremities are literally left out in the cold.  As a result, you can experience dry and brittle hair.  

What Hypothyroidism Can Do to Your Hair

  • Premature baldness
  • Diffuse hair loss
  • Fine, thin, straight hair
  • Dry, course, brittle hair
  • Thinning or loss of outside third of eyebrows
  • Absence of eyebrows
  • Hair loss on lower legs, arms, and armpits
  • Loss of eyelashes

So What Can You Do?

First and foremost, you should have your thyroid status evaluated.  Hair loss, or alopecia, is a very common, yet often overlooked symptom of low thyroid function.  By treating hypothyroidism with natural, desiccated thyroid, you can restore your body to a healthy state and reverse hair loss.

I’ve been a guest at this facility for 15 years. They are the most efficient, thorough and caring group of individuals I’ve ever experienced. Dr Hotze looks to change the way a typical doctor treats patients and looks for root causes to eliminate medical issues instead of treating “symptoms”. My life has improved 100% since my initial visit. The cost of the treatments are worth it.

I cannot accurately describe in words how I feel about this practice and the entire staff. I have had quite a few health issues throughout the years, rheumatoid arthritis, sjogrens, weight gain, hair loss, irritability, and that is just the beginning. I had pretty much given up on feeling good, just decided to "live with it" and hope for the best. Two very close friends love the Hotze Wellness Clinic and they have experienced life changing health. Made my appointment and from the beginning I felt heard. Not a in and out fast food style practice. They are looked and are looking at my entire body for overall health and wellness. Connections from mind and body to clinical blood work, even dental questions....they care and I feel as if I can trust them. I am on a path to complete wellness and my goal is to have my RA back in remission as it once was....make yourself a priority. Having hope is an incredible feeling!
