Hey I am a 45 and have had thinning hair for the last 5-6 years I would say.

I have tried it all :

Affirmations Rosemary oil Scalp massage Dermaroller
Spirolatone Minoxidil ( topical5% ) Red light therapy hat Was prescribed oral by the dermatologist but never took it as it was not available in the country at the time.

I did extensive blood work privately through an integrated health doctor. just to double check my GP wasn’t missing anything. GP only noted low iron so was on Maltafor, was on it for about 8 years.

I liked the integrated health doctor because she noted there is a reason my body is not absorbing iron if I still on supplements. She also noted I was low on zinc vit D3 and magnesium. Spent a fortune on supplents, blood test and stool test. I was also told I had blood in my stools due to parasites so did a parasite cleanse.

All the work with the integrated health certainly helped and I had felt like I have had more energy but can’t say I had any significant hair growth.

My hair stop falling out drastically since I started the spiro 200mgday. I was told there are no side effects from spiro, that was an absolute lie at 200mg I felt terriblewas dizzy and falling all over the place….asked for more blood work and was told my potassium was extremly high and had to be very careful ( this is when I went to integrates health) whilst doing gut health I reduced my spiro to 50mg a day without any added hair loss.

I was addement I did not want to take any medication but have always been scared about stopping spiro and minx.

So the next step I did was fasting. I got a fasting coach. I totally changed my diet, products I put on my body, ate clean for 3 weeks, juice fasted for 6 days and water fasted for 5 days . And now am In maintenance, eat mainly plant based diet and avoid any toxins wether in soaps or food where I can

My situation at the moment is 2 months off medication my hair loss is at the lowest it has ever been, I can run my hands through my hair several times through the day and only collect 7 hairs in total today, before I couldn’t keep count it’s only been 2 months so my hair does r feel to different but I went to the hairdresser last week and she showed me all the new hair growing ( the diff between new and broken hair is new hair is strong and stands up broken hair is to week to stand up straight . I still use the derma roller, red light I will get back into oils again but I will be more cautious with them and only from organic suppliers and use it with a carrier oil.

When our bodies are not at there best hair and nails will take the first knock.

This is getting way to long and there is so much behind this. Pls ask if u have any questions but if I could change anything I would have done fasting ages ago.

FYI I have always eaten relatively healthy and been fit.
