Not all prenatals are created equal. Many store-brand formulas check the "basic vitamin" boxes but miss out on the forms and doses your body can actually use during preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum.

Here's what to look for:
- Folate (not folic acid)
- Active B vitamins (like methylated B12 and B6)
- Choline for baby's brain development
- Iron (only if you need it!)
- Gentle forms of magnesium and calcium

And watch for:
- Synthetic dyes
- Low-dose everything
- "One-a-day" formulas with poor absorption

Whether you're planning, pregnant, or postpartum, your prenatal should be targeted, bioavailable, and supportive.

Hair loss:

Hair loss is not an easy thing to address. However, there are a few common causes that stand out. The first is low iron, which is easily tested on a blood test. Be sure to check ferritin also. Ferritin is the storage form of iron, and serum iron is the blood level (what's in current use/circulation), and they both need to be optimal. The second is low thyroid function. What happens is that since the thyroid controls moisture balance (think low thyroid causing constipation, due to drier stools), the skin becomes too dry to hold in the hair. You'll first see the outer eyebrows become thinner, and even hair on the arms can be lost also. Optimal thyroid function is when the TSH, thyroid stimulating hormone, is below 2, and other doctors may tell you to have it even lower, below 1. The third cause is women's hormones, like after pregnancy.
I've also seen a case of alopecia areata in a little girl that started after eating too much Halloween candy, so this would be a physical/dietary stressor. This probably happened because sugar, in some people, interferes with utilization of iron.
What are your favorite natural strategies for hair loss and why?

To solve hair loss with low iron, obviously you want to add a good quality iron supplement. Most don't cause constipation. If it's from a thyroid issue, I use herbal combinations with tyrosine, the amino acid that makes the T in T3 and T4. Glandular products, products made from animal glands, may also help. For hormonal causes in women, I use homeopathy:
Natrum muriaticum is great for hair loss after having a baby.
Sepia can be used if it is due to physical over-exertion (after a race or sporting event, for example).
Homeopathy can also be useful for digestive causes of hair loss: think of Lycopodium (for bloating worse in the afternoon), or Kali carbonicum, for bloating accompanied by weakness and/or back pain.
Dietary tip: include a source of iodine, like fish or seaweed for thyroid support. These are the only sources of iodine other than iodized salt.
