As a dietetic professional I’ve been asked, “what can I take for my hair?"  Usually the person is concerned about hair growth as it pertains to thickness, length, or how to reverse gray hair naturally. 

Although genetics and hair care both play a significant role in hair growth, texture and color; nutrition and lifestyle intervention can have a significant impact on prevention and treatment of hair loss, stunted hair growth, and excess graying.


Negative Hair Changes                           Intervention & Prevention
stress                                                         stress management, exercise, detox

nutritional deficiencies                               diet modification, dietary supplements, exercise, detox

alcohol, tobacco,drug Addictions              addiction cessation, exercise, dietary supplements, detox, stress management
                                                                                                
prescription medications                            healing, diet modification, dietary supplements, exercise, detox


aging, > 40 years old                                anti-aging supplements, diet modification, exercise, detox

genetics                                                     very specific nutrient supplementation, exercise, detox


1st Step - Remember there are several causes of hair change which may include 1 or more of the possibilities listed above.

Therefore, it’s most important to feed and hydrate yourself adequately with pure water daily.  An easy way to determine if you’re consuming enough fluid is to aim consume ½ of your body weight in ounces. 

For example, if a person weighs 120lbs they should strive to drink 60 ounces (7 ½ glasses) daily.

2nd Step - Take this brief nutrition survey.
  1. Does your diet consist of a variety of colorful raw organic veggies and fruits important for the antioxidant benefits?

  2. Do you consume lean organic proteins daily particularly those rich in Omega 3 fatty acids?

  3. Do you take supplements that have been recommended specifically to meet your nutritional needs by a wellness dietitian or naturopathic practitioner based upon such factors as your genetics, age, and gender?

  4. Have you started a daily exercise regimen if your medical doctor has cleared you to do so?

3rd  Step - Avoid harsh toxic hair products that may strip your hair of nutrients contributing to dryness and loss of flexibility.

Obtaining beautiful skin begins inside out! 

Unlike other organs skin is visible to us daily. The cosmetic industry invests copious amounts of money in advertisements, product production, packaging, and promotions. 

However, when looking at your skin it is critical to think beyond the vanity of beauty and try focusing on what this external organ is telling you about your internal organs along with what the purpose of truly healthy skin will do to protect the entire body!


1.   Your cutaneous membrane (external skin) insulates and cushions internal organs. 

2.   It protects the entire body from harmful bacteria, mechanical, chemical, and thermal damage. 

3.    The external skin protects our internal body from ultraviolet radiation (UV Rays) while at the same time it serves as a site for Vitamin D synthesis.


4. This is also the site at which toxins can enter or exit and electrolytes such as potassium and sodium is  excreted.
  
Obtaining radiant skin requires a healthy lifestyle and an investment of time and resources into your health; which includes gradually implementing the following steps:

1.   high quality topical products, 

2.   adequate daily consumption of  pure water (1/2 your body weight in ounces),

3.   eating a well balanced diet consisting ideally of organic food (80/20 alkaline/acid ratio), 

4.   proper quality and quantity of nightly sleep, 

5.   daily exercise, 

 6.  avoidance of harmful habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
 

To maximize and maintain the appearance and health of your skin routine detoxification of the body using a highly effective heavy metal remover such as Zeolite may also prove to be extremely beneficial.

If you have a skin condition autoimmune in nature such psoriasis, eczema, or vitiligo, it is imperative to consider implementing the above lifestyle changes along with incorporating regenerative dietary supplements into your daily health regimen including Serrapeptase as a natural anti-inflammatory and high quality probiotics.
