Have you noticed your hair thinning, becoming brittle, or seemingly refusing to grow? You're not alone, and it's not just about your hair. This week on The Hormone Prosperity Podcast, Dr. Kyrin shatters the myth that hair issues are purely cosmetic and dives deep into the systemic imbalances that could be wreaking havoc on midlife women’s health.

Abby shared her story this week—her hair has become so thin that even her hairdresser hesitates to cut it. Despite trying hair vitamins, special shampoos, and unique pillowcases, she’s still frustrated and seeking answers. Sound familiar? If so, this episode is for you.

Beyond the Hairbrush

Dr. Kyrin reveals a profound truth many doctors overlook—struggles with hair are often the symptom of something much bigger. It's not just your hair. Every cell and every system in your body could be waving a red flag that points to "hormonal poverty," a condition that affects your vitality, confidence, and long-term health.

Hair is the canary in the coal mine, signaling global systemic dysfunction. While mainstream doctors might treat hair loss as a minor inconvenience, Dr. Kyrin shows why it's crucial to dig deeper and uncover the root cause—what she calls the "root and soil" problem.

Signs You’re Experiencing More Than Just a ‘Hair Problem’

Dr. Kyrin explains that hair loss often goes hand-in-hand with other seemingly unrelated issues, which she terms "midlife metabolic mayhem," including:

Poor sleep quality
Fatigue, even after rest
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
Weight gain
Gastrointestinal discomfort

She encourages listeners to assess the entire picture of their health instead of hyper-focusing on individual symptoms.

What Your Doctor Might Be Missing

Traditional medicine tends to treat symptoms rather than searching for underlying causes. Many doctors aren't trained to connect issues like hair loss with deeper hormonal imbalances. But Dr. Kyrin flips the script, guiding you on how to look beyond the surface for answers.

She uses the analogy of a tree—your hair might be the wilting leaves, but the problem lies in the roots and the soil. By tackling the foundational health issues, you don’t just fix your hair; you heal from the inside out.

Dr. Kyrin Dunston (01:12):

In this video, we're gonna answer Abby's question, which is a wonderful question that I get. So often. She's saying that her hair stopped growing when she went into menopause and she's really struggling. So much so that her hairdresser, the last time she went for her hair, told her she was uncomfortable cutting Abby's hair because it had become so thin and sparse and wasn't growing that she wasn't willing to do it. And she's extremely frustrated. She says she takes hair vitamins, she sleeps on a special pillow case. She uses very special shampoo and conditioner, and she takes extra special care of her curly hair. Where are my curly hair girls? Because curly hair is a little bit more fragile, it becomes knotted and tangled. But even if you have straight hair, if you have fine hair, even if you have traditionally thick hair, it can get thinner and sparser and stop growing as you go into perimenopause and menopause.

Dr. Kyrin Dunston (02:16):

So I love this question. Thank you Abby. We're gonna tackle this. So lack of hair growth, hair loss, sparse hair, this is a huge problem. That is one of the symptoms of midlife metabolic mayhem that you might have experienced or maybe someone you know and love is experiencing. And as Abby pointed out, she talked to her doctor about this, maybe you have too. And her doctor basically just scratches their head and doesn't have any answers for her. That used to be me when I practiced mainstream medicine as well, because we are not really taught about hair and, and as a gynecologist or a GP or internal medicine practitioner, that's not really our main concerns. It's considered more cosmetic. And so it's not something that's focused on. But as a woman myself, I know how important your hair is to your sense of wellbeing and how good you feel in your skin, your quality of life, how you present yourself and your confidence, right?

Dr. Kyrin Dunston (03:21):

We all know that for women and men and, and also that it is very important. So let's dive into this. What is your doctor missing? So what your doctor is missing. So first I would say to you, Abby, that probably hair loss or hair sparsity, lack of hair growth is not your only problem. So I like to say when I help women identi...
