Understanding Hair Loss and Hypothyroidism

🔑 Over half of the population suffers from some form of hypothyroidism, which affects the function of the thyroid gland.

💡 Symptoms of hypothyroidism include cold hands, hair loss, depression, constipation, infections, decreased libido, inability to lose weight, insomnia, and fatigue.

⚠️ Hypothyroidism can also cause facial puffiness and fluid retention in the body.

👤 There are two types of hypothyroidism: clinical and subclinical.

🌡️ You can determine if you have thyroid problems by monitoring your body temperature.

⚖️ Subclinical hypothyroidism can cause fatigue, lack of energy, and difficulty losing weight.

People with hypothyroidism may experience hair loss.

Hair growth relies on adequate oxygen and nutrients from the blood.

Low levels of oxygen and nutrients due to slow metabolism can lead to hair loss.

📚 Hair loss is often related to hypothyroidism and weak hair growth.

🥦 Certain foods, like soy, can interfere with thyroid function and exacerbate hair loss.

💇 Hair loss can be emotionally distressing, especially for women.

Measuring temperature can indicate low thyroid function, which can lead to hair loss.

Seeking medical help for subclinical hypothyroidism and using natural hormones can prevent hair loss.

Improving metabolism through proper nutrition and hydration can also prevent hair loss.
