⨠Did You Know? Your Diet & Lifestyle Can Directly Impact Hair Loss āØ
Hair thinning isnāt always about geneticsāoften, our daily choices either nourish the scalp⦠or quietly stress it out.
šæ Diet & Hair Loss
What we consume becomes the building blocks of our hair. When certain nutrients are low, shedding and thinning can follow.
Common diet-related triggers:
⢠Low protein intake ā weak, fragile strands
⢠Iron or B-vitamin deficiency ā increased shedding
⢠Blood sugar spikes (high sugar/processed foods) ā contributes to androgenic hair loss
⢠Inflammatory foods ā scalp inflammation that disrupts growth
⢠Crash dieting ā sudden shedding from nutrient shock
Nourishing foods for healthy hair:
⢠Lean proteins (eggs, fish, turkey)
⢠Iron-rich foods (spinach, lentils, grass-fed beef)
⢠Omega-3 sources (salmon, chia, walnuts)
⢠Zinc sources (pumpkin seeds, oysters)
⢠Antioxidants (berries, leafy greens)
š Lifestyle Factors That Affect Hair Growth
Hair follicles are deeply connected to our nervous system and hormones.
Lifestyle triggers that contribute to thinning:
⢠Chronic stress + cortisol spikes
⢠Poor sleep or irregular sleep cycles
⢠Smoking + excessive alcohol
⢠Lack of movement/poor circulation
⢠Tight hairstyles or harsh chemical routines
Lifestyle shifts that support healthy growth:
⢠Daily stress-relief rituals (breathwork, journaling, walking)
⢠Consistent sleep schedule
⢠Scalp massage to increase blood flow
⢠Hydration (your follicles need water too!)
⢠Prioritizing restorative self-care
