How to Grow Hair With Thyroid Problems

If your hair is getting noticeably thinner…

… or falling out in clumps…

… scalp starting to show through…

… then lean in because I’m going to share with you how I started to grow thick hair again without supplements or the typical recommendations like “take some biotin, iron, selenium”, etc…

Tried those… didn’t work…

3 Steps to Grow Thick Strong Hair, Get Glowing Skin and Grow Strong Nails

#1 Eat foods that have nutrients for hair growth

#2 Address any digestive issues

#3 Eat foods that help you sleep better

This may be a blessing in disguise…

… because before my hair started falling off, I felt like something else was wrong with my body…

I felt so tired…

I had a hard time falling and staying asleep…

I kept gaining weight no matter what…

Felt like an 84 year old in a 28 year old body…

All I wanted was my old self back…

When my hair started to fall off, that’s when I started to take my health more serious…

… before my hair started falling off, I thought I was just aging… but then I decided to look into why my hair was falling off…

Everything was pointing to my thyroid… and started to wonder…

“… will my hair grow back?”

I’m happy to say that YES!!

Your hair can grow thicker and stronger if you follow these 3 steps…

Here’s the story…

It all started in late 2012 when my hair was falling out in large amounts… more than usual… had a rubber band, stretchy like consistency…

One day, I was lathering my hair in the shower and felt this texture on my hands… I opened my eyes and saw hair everywhere…

It was on my hands…

The shower curtain…

The wall…

The drain was going to be clogged for sure after all that hair…

I rushed out of the shower, wiped off the foggy mirror and there it was…

#1 My eyebrows were thinning at the edges…

#2 My hair was noticeably thinner…

#3 My hair was falling out at the temples and forehead…

#4 Scalp was starting to show through…

Not really wanting a wig in my future, I set out to figure out how to make my hair appear fuller, and grow thick hair again…

I spent years researching thyroid hair loss success stories trying to figure out what other people were doing about hair loss…

It seemed that no one had figured it out…

Lots of products that promise your hair will grow thick, but none seemed to work…

Then I had my biggest epiphany that I want to share with you… because if you understand the root cause, you too will be able to take the steps necessary to grow hair again…

This may surprise you, so brace yourself and stick with me until the end so that you can see how to grow your hair regardless of your thyroid levels being normal or not…

So here’s the first question I have for you…

Have you ever considered that your hair falling off is not a thyroid problem?

Think about this for a second…

What does your hair need to grow?

Nutrients, right?

That’s why they tell you that you may be deficient in iron, selenium, biotin, etc.

… but how do those nutrients get into your body so hair can grow?

It all happens in your gut…

Think about this… If the leaves of a tree start to wilt, turn brown, get holes or fall off, the problem isn’t at the leaf, it’s at the root…

Similarly, if your hair is thinning or falling off, the problem is not at the hair, it’s at the root… the gut…

If you have poor gut health, then no matter how many supplements you throw at your body, it won’t absorb nutrients…

Hair loss is just a symptom of a bigger problem…

If you can’t get nutrients, then your body will have no way to produce energy…

… which is why I felt tired all the time…

If your hair is thinning or falling off, that’s a sign of low energy… if you feel tired all the time then you have to start by addressing any digestive issues…

You know your gut health isn’t good if you have gas, bloating or constipation… or all three…

That’s why this was an epiphany for me, because for the first time I took my focus off my thyroid and directed that focus to my gut health…

… because if you can’t digest food, you can’t get nutrients…

Take protein for example… your gut needs to break protein down into amino acids which are the raw material the body needs to grow hair… and make hormones!

Without amino acids like tyrosine, tryptophan and others, your body can’t convert the inactive thyroid hormone T4 into the active form T3…

Which is why every success story you will read about in this blog about how people are improving their energy, sleep, losing weight, growing thick & strong hair… none of that happens by improving thyroid function… it happens by improving gut health…

Why?

Because many things needed for hair growth (like hormone production, nutrient absorption, etc.) depends on your gut health…

If you have gas, bloating, or constipation… if you’re not digesting food properly, then it’s likely that you are not producing hormones like melatonin… the sleeping hormone…

Or GABA… which affects sleep, and regulates fear and anxiety…

Or dopamine & serotonin… the feel good, happy hormones…

This is how it started to make sense why I would wake up with horrible brain fog… depression and anxiety…

Some days were worse than others…

That’s how I realized that taking thyroid hormone supplements or getting thyroid levels to be normal were not the answer to growing hair…

The answer to growing thick strong hair was to improve my gut health…

It also helped me get my energy back and lose weight…

I’m now leaner than I’ve ever been… I’m leaner in my late 30’s than I was in my 20’s…

It’s been amazing having more energy and being able to stay lean & toned!!

I used to think I could not lose weight no matter what…

Then I found that all of the gas, bloating, and constipation came from poor gut health…

It was crazy because somedays I felt better if I didn’t eat much, yet I would gain weight…

… but as soon as I started to clean my gut not only did the weight start coming off, but my hair stopped falling off…

Ever since I found how important gut health was for my hair to grow thicker I started to find ways to improve my gut health…

It boils down to these 3 simple steps…

When I started sharing this with others, they too started to notice a difference in weight…

People started sharing success stories about growing thicker & stronger hair, getting their energy back, producing hormones and getting better sleep…

The steps are simple…

Just by cleaning your gut you can start to see a lot of improvement…

… and nourishing your body doesn’t mean you have to spend hundreds on supplements your body can’t absorb anyway…

In fact, if you are like I was… spending $200-$300 a month on supplements and not noticing a difference in energy or hair growth, then start by going through the 3 steps we teach inside the Energy Blueprint which shows you simple ways to nourish your body…

How to Get Natural Energy without Restrictive Diets or Supplements

When I say I used to feel exhausted, I’m talking about bone-deep fatigue…

It wasn’t me being distant, dramatic or lazy…

It wasn’t me being just tired or run down…

It was the kind of exhaustion that lives deep in your bones…

It’s hard to explain what a flare was like without sounding dramatic…

I’d wake up feeling like I’d been hit by a Mack truck, even if all I did the day before was exist.

When this happened, my body felt sore and beaten up, like it had been through something physical and brutal…

My muscles and joints ached constantly and deep like everything was inflamed and heavy…

Some days I was just surviving quietly… it took more strength than anyone realized….

The fatigue was crippling… 

Not “I could use a nap” tired, but the kind where standing up required me to grab onto a wall…

I felt weak, dizzy, and slowed down, as if I was walking through mud…

Things that were normally manageable suddenly felt overwhelming… Simple tasks required planning…

I would sit in my kitchen without moving… just enough energy to feel unmotivated…

I would feel low and sad for no reason like a flattening of everything. 

The flares would happen even when I did everything right…

I’d cut out gluten, dairy, sugar…

I’d take a whole stack of supplements (selenium, iodine, iron, B vitamins, etc…) 

… yet my entire system felt like it was under siege… like my body was pulling the fire alarm because of steam from the kettle, and refused to shut it off. 

Everything suddenly got louder, harder, and heavier at once. 

I was doing everything I could just to get through the day, but nothing worked until I figured out the cells of my body were not getting the nutrients they needed…

It didn’t matter what diet I tried, what supplements I took, or what detox I did… 

Something was blocking the nutrients from getting into the cells of my body and that’s when I discovered cellular-level nutrition…

I put together a program Energy Jumpstart, where I share my 3-Step Framework to rebuild your energy.
