Please know that high doses of biotin supplementation can interfere/ change thyroid lab results, or Troponin values( these are vital to diagnose heart attacks). I work at a hospital and we once had a patient whose troponins came back “normal” in spite of severe chest pain and abnormal EKG, we found that she was taking high doses of biotin, which lowered her troponin values to a point of normal.

Ive been a hairstylist over 39 years and Im noticing clients that had Covid loosing almost half of their hair..

I had a receding hairline since high school and just wanted to say that a) there is no good treatment for it so don't waste your money, time and hopes on expensive treatments and b) there is nothing wrong with wearing a wig or a topper or any kind of alternative hair if you are not happy with your natural hair. Professional hair pieces don't look like roadkill any more, literally nobody knows unless i tell them. I am now watching friends my age getting really thin straggly hair that is also going grey, and I am so grateful that my beautiful wigs won't do that!

Teriffically informative explanation about hairloss, Doctor. Thank you for that. At 68 but blessed with genetics of voluminous hair, I'm noticing some loss of thickening but it isn't an issue yet, as is the case for my girlfriend, 66, who endured life-changing deaths of her long-term partner and her Mother, within three years. I'll forward this video since although we're in the UK, I feel she'll be comforted to learn about some of the common causes as you've explained.

Telogen effluvium happened to me after the high fever of Covid.

I am 45 and I started losing hair in great proportions around 2020 after having covid twice and went two years losing so I cut it boy short. I took vitamins for one year and no results. Around 35 I started gaining weight slowly and it was so hard to lose. I went to my doctor several times to check my hormones and my testosterone was low but everything else was normal, she said. In 2022 I have a mini stroke and then gained 44 pounds in nine months but continued to gain until few months ago when I decided to eat for pleasure and only when hungry… so i eat meats, veggies and fruits like orange, pineapple and papaya since they help me with digestion. my hot flashes have reduced greatly, my weight is slowly dropping off and my doc gave me some estrogen cream to treat my prolapse. I am doing core rehab. I never imagined being 222 pounds. I was not that big when pregnant but a look like i am 😢 I was slim most of my life. And I can’t wait to fix this and get my health back. I have not felt healthy in 8 years. And I am beginning to have hope that I will be ok. I am doing lymphatic massages and somatic exercises to release trauma and stress. I am trying to rest more and do less. I love your channel and it has enriched my life. Thank you 🙏

Thank you Dr. Susan for all of this detailed information! I took lots of notes. This is the first time I have been able to fully understand the hairloss issues and what is actually happening. It really helps to hear it explained in the clear way you have described everything. I would like to know if you can tell us how much oral minoxidil, propecia and biotin is recommended to help with hairloss. Or if you can mention what is a guideline or parameter for these or what is effective in terms of dosing. I have already messaged my dermatologist about it but am not expecting she will have heard of it (or she would have already prescribed). I am looking into getting an appointment with you. My OBGYN works with a compounding pharmacy but I don’t think they prescribe oral minoxidil since I have already asked her about hairloss. One other question: does oral progesterone help block DHT? Thanks again!

NUTRAFOL was great but too expensive. 85.00. What do u recommend that is more affordable?

Doctor, Susan, Are there clinics like yours in Virginia.

What should the t3 and t4.

Hi Dr. Susan, I have been noticing extra hair shedding over the course of six weeks now. I am thinking, it could be due to changing the dose of the estrogen patch. I was on the low dose. Did not notice any hair shedding. I was taking a higher dose and noticed shedding within two months of being on The patch. I was also noticing Extreme sensitivity in my breast. Now I am back on the lower dose. Two weeks to be exact. Noticing new hair growth, but still shedding. could taking a higher dose of estrogen cause this shedding? Thank you for all of your great knowledge and information you put out on your channel❤️😃

if it's just normal thinning from menopause, will taking HRT at a higher dose grow back the hair over time? (2 mg. estrodiol, 8mg. testosterone and 200 mg progesterone). It's been 3 months and I am not noticing a difference yet.... but I know it could take a year or 2, right?

What dose of Finasteride do you typically recommend for women?

Dr. Susan, does the outcome or success of Platlet Rich Plasma depend on the experience of the doctor? It seems like you have had a lot of success with it. My dermatologist said it is expensive and doesn’t work. I have since switch doctors and no one seems to offer any help with female pattern hairloss in my 40’s.

I just recently was seen and given hormone pellets w testosterone because my testosterone was at 1.1. I am also being given progesterone tablets. I was having peri symptoms and hairloss was one of them. I also was having 3 periods in a month in half after going a full 30 days without a period. I went to this clinic and this is what they prescribed. Is this good?

Dr Susan I’m just wondering if once you start that product midoxil do you have to stay on it for life? Or if you stop will your hair react

Why did my friend get Male patton baldness when getting HRT.pallets

Dominque who? Could you spell or show her last name? Thank you!
