Your hair is telling you something

Hair nutrition starts with three questions: Are you absorbing what you eat? What are your hormones signaling? Do you have the building blocks your hair needs?

The connection most people miss:

Your hair is built from what you eat.

Every strand grows from the follicle, and the follicle depends on your blood supply for its building materials: protein, iron, zinc, vitamin D, and more. When your body is short on something, hair is one of the first places it shows, because hair isn't essential to survival, so the body sends nutrients elsewhere first.

That's why no shampoo, treatment, or styling fix can fully solve a problem that starts inside. You can do everything right on the outside and still see shedding or a struggling scalp if the root cause is nutritional, hormonal, or digestive.

Is your hair loss coming from the inside?

Take the free self-check. It walks you through the signs across gut, hormones, and nutrition, including what to look at when your labs came back "normal" but something still feels off.

I read hair. Then I treat it.

I've worked with hair for years, so I know what a healthy scalp and strand look like and when the problem isn't going to be solved with a product. Salons care for the hair itself. Dermatologists often focus on the scalp. I see your hair as a messenger, one of the first places your body shows that something inside needs attention.

Instead of guessing, I test to find the root cause. Then I help you rebuild from the inside out with food, herbs, targeted nutrients, and natural scalp care.

Questions & Answers

  • Yes. Hair loss is well linked to low levels of nutrients like iron, zinc, protein, and vitamin D, and to thyroid problems, PCOS, postpartum hormone shifts, and conditions that affect absorption, such as celiac disease. Emerging research also connects gut health to hair, and hair often reflects what's happening in the gut. That's why I test instead of guessing.

  • Because hair problems live in two places, on the surface and underneath. I can look at your scalp and hair in person and read your lab results, so nothing gets missed between a stylist who can't test and a nutritionist who has never worked with hair.

  • Salons care for the hair itself, and dermatologists often focus on the scalp and the symptom. I look at what your body may be signaling from the inside, then test to find the root cause and build a plan around it.

  • Blood testing for thyroid and other conditions, serum nutrient levels, stool testing for gut health, and vaginal microbiome testing for women's health and hormonal balance. We choose what fits your needs after the discovery call and assessment.

  • No. I order and interpret the testing myself. If your doctor is already involved in your care, I'll work with them.

  • Yes, and I'd like you to. I review your existing labs and records alongside my own testing, so your plan uses everything already known about your health. With your permission, I coordinate with your physician.

  • "Normal" lab ranges are wide, and you can be inside the range and still be low for what your hair needs. Looking at your results alongside your symptoms and diet often shows a pattern that a standard report misses.

  • No. I look at the nutritional, gut, and hormonal patterns that can be connected to your symptoms, use testing to guide your plan, and coordinate with your physician if your results point to something that needs medical treatment.
