In this riveting episode, Dr Dray delves into the intricate world of hormone balancing, particularly highlighting the crucial role of thyroid hormone in maintaining optimal bodily functions. Whether it's hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, these conditions can wreak havoc on your hair, causing issues like hair loss, brittleness, and breakage. The thyroid, it seems, holds the key to a healthy mane, and any imbalance can spell disaster for your locks.
But wait, there's more! Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune thyroid condition, not only disrupts thyroid function but also increases the risk of developing autoimmune hair loss conditions like alopecia areata. And let's not forget about androgenetic alopecia, a common hair loss problem affecting both men and women, which can be exacerbated by thyroid disorders. Post-menopausal women, especially those dealing with female pattern hair loss, are particularly susceptible to thyroid issues that can further complicate their hair health.
And then there's frontal fibrosing alopecia, a menacing variant of lichen planus that targets the hair follicles, leading to inflammation, hair loss, and irreversible scarring if left untreated. This condition, often mistaken for other types of hair loss, can be a real nightmare for menopausal women. The thyroid's influence on hair health is undeniable, with its dysfunction not only impacting the scalp but also potentially affecting body hair. Dr Dray's insights shed light on the intricate interplay between thyroid function and hair health, underscoring the importance of addressing thyroid issues to maintain a luscious mane.
