In this episode, Dr. Rubaina Dang and host Dr. Jaclyn Smeaton explore the root causes of hair loss in women, particularly the information that standard labs can miss. Dr. Dang and Dr. Smeaton also dive into the hormones driving hair loss, optimal versus “normal” lab levels, and the gut-skin-hair axis.

Their conversation also highlights:

  • Dr. Dang’s recommended panels for anyone presenting with hair loss
  • The key differences between “normal” and optimal lab ranges when it comes to hair health
  • Stressors that can cause telogen effluvium, including illness, rapid weight loss, postpartum, or a major life event
  • How gut dysbiosis and inflammation can affect hair follicles
  • Dr. Dang’s rankings for popular hair-growth products and ingredients
