Ep.89 Winning the Battle Against Midlife Hair Loss - Treatments, Nutrition, and Regenerative Therapies

Asking for a Friend - Health, Fitness & Personal Growth Tips for Women in Midlife

Have you ever looked in the mirror and noticed your hair isn't quite as full as it used to be? You're not alone. On this episode, we have a heart-to-heart with Dr. Alan Bauman of Bauman Medical, who brings empathy and expertise to the table as we tackle hair loss in midlife, particularly for women. From genetic factors to emotional impacts, we cover the gamut of this surprisingly common yet often unspoken struggle. Dr. Bauman's personal journey from the inception of his "hair hospital" to becoming a beacon of hope for those facing thinning locks is as inspiring as it is informative.
Nutrition isn't just about waistlines; it's integral to our hair's health, too.

Dr. Bauman and I debate the pros and cons of prescription treatments, such as the anti-androgen spironolactone and the off-label heroics of finasteride in postmenopausal women.

Whether it's crafting the perfect eyebrow or rejuvenating a hairline, the transformative power of these procedures extends far beyond the physical. So tune in, and witness the artistry and science that's giving hair care a whole new meaning.
We also discuss PRP and microneedling as options to stimulate hair growth. The Turbo LaserCap is the ultimate powerful, portable, hands-free, cordless, and rechargeable low-level laser therapy device for men and women designed to deliver non-drug laser therapy for hair growth in a convenient and discreet way.
