Episode Description

Hair loss in women is treatable but only what gets tested gets treated. And most women are tested for almost nothing.

In this series finale, Dr. Tara Harding, DNP, FNP-C covers the complete picture: the lab workup that should accompany a hair loss evaluation, why 'in range' is not the same as 'optimal,' every treatment option available for female hair loss, and how the most advanced personalized testing at Simply You Wellness is changing outcomes for women who have been told they have tried everything.

She also covers what Parts 1 and 2 were building toward: how to advocate for yourself at your next appointment, what a root-cause provider looks like, and a direct message to every woman who has been dismissed and every hairdresser who has watched it happen.


In this episode:

  • The complete hair loss workup: 8 categories every provider should run
  • Optimal vs. normal, ferritin, TSH, Vitamin D, and why the gap matters
  • Every treatment category for women's hair loss
  • Why two women with identical diagnoses need different protocols
  • Personalized hair loss testing at Simply You Wellness
  • What to ask for at your appointment by name
  • What a root-cause provider looks like
  • The closing message this series was building toward

If you have spent months being told your labs are fine. This is the last episode you listen to, before you find the provider who will actually look for the answer.
