Every Root Cause of Hair Loss in Women: Hormones, Thyroid, Iron, GLP-1, and 10 More (Part 2)

There are more than a dozen documented, treatable root causes of hair loss in women. Most women are evaluated for one or two of them and sent home with a biotin supplement.

In this episode, Dr. Tara Harding, DNP, FNP-C maps every single root cause of female hair loss in plain clinical language so that women and hairdressers understand not just what is causing hair loss, but why. Mechanism, not just name.

This is the episode to share with the woman who has been told her hair loss is just stress. The one whose labs came back normal. The one who has been losing more hair since starting a GLP-1 medication and cannot get a straight answer about why.

Covered in this episode:

Hormonal hair loss: DHT sensitivity, estrogen decline, progesterone deficiency, PCOS, cortisol

Thyroid and hair loss: why TSH alone misses most cases

Iron and Ferritin: why below 70 matters even when you are 'not anemic'

GLP-1 and Ozempic Hair Loss: it is a nutrition problem, not a drug problem

Postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause hair loss

Medications, autoimmune, gut health, and more

Every woman who has ever been dismissed deserves this episode.
