Perimenopausal and menopausal hair loss, facial hair, and how hormone levels and hormone replacement therapy effect women.

3. Perimenopause, Menopause & Hair
• Breaking hair
• Unwanted hair
• Hair loss
• Too much hair
• Dry hair
• Hair in places we shouldn’t
• Dull Hair
• Not enough hair
• Change in texture
• Thinning hair

4. Hair Loss Happens
• Sharp change in hormone levels
• Hormones get too low (Estradiol, Thyroid)
• Hormones get too high (Cortisol, testosterone)
• Imbalance of hormones (PCOS)

5. Facial Hair
• Hair on cheeks
• Hair on chin
• Hair on eyebrows
• White wispy hair

6. Eyebrows
Women and men with declining hormones can develop
Hertoghe’s Syndrome: a thinning or loss of the outer
third of the eyebrows, and is a sign of hypothyroidism.

7. Stress & Hair
• Increase in stress effects hair in a way that if cortisol gets
too high in order to manage her estrogen.
• Estrogen deficiency is one of the biggest causes of hair
loss. If cortisol gets too high, it takes over all
hormones, including estrogen, until out of “fight or
flight” mode.
• For most women, they’re in a constant state of “fight or
flight”.

8. Estrogen Deficiency & Hair
If estrogen is low, the hair on the scalp will
begin to thin and fall out. When estrogen gets
too low, it aggravates any stress responses a
woman may have.

9. Estrogen & Healthy Hair
One of the prime directives of estradiol in a woman
is to optimize beauty and health. It helps maintain
an anabolic growth on hair follicles on the head as
well as block testosterone affects on the skin so that
she doesn’t develop superficial hair growth on the
face, chin, chest, and other parts of her body.

10. Lab Testing for Hair
• Estradiol
• Free T3
• FSH
• Testosterone
• Progesterone
• Testosterone Free
• LH
• Testosterone Bioavailable
• TSH
• SHBG

11. Thyroid
• Along with estrogen, thyroid is in rhythm with a
woman’s cycle
• TSH-Thyroid Stimulating Hormones
• When estradiol is down, TSH is up
• Large reference range .50-4.5

12. Free T3
It is the most active form of the different thyroid hormones in the body.
It is the principal thyroid hormone that makes all of the thyroid functions
in the body. If the free T3 is low, nothing in your body will function
correctly. Your brain won't function optimally, your cardiovascular
system won't be healthy, your kidneys won’t work optimally, your liver
won't work optimally, your immune system won't operate correctly, your
gastrointestinal system won't work correctly. Your skin will be dry, your
hair and nails brittle, your vision dull. You’ll be tired, cold, and feel like
you have brain fog, have dry itchy skin, be constipated, feel cold when
everybody else is comfortable.

13. Free T3 (cont.)
With low T3 a person will also be depressed, fatigue, anxious, and
can't sleep. And yet it is perhaps the most neglected blood test and lab
value in all of medicine. It turns out that estradiol level is perhaps the
most important lab test for predicting future and current chronic health
problems that we could order and yet it's almost never ordered on
women. Mainly because the significance of estrogen in women is
downplayed and not generally recognized as important.

14. Zinc
Hypothyroidism is a common and well recognized cause
of diffuse hair loss. Zinc and other trace elements such as
copper and selenium are required for the synthesis of
thyroid hormones, and deficiency of these can result in
hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormones are essential for
absorption of zinc, and hence hypothyroidism can result in
acquired zinc deficiency.

17. RegeneMax™ provides ch-OSA® (cholinestabilized orthosilicic acid), that helps
naturally nourish your body’s beauty
proteins. Regular orthosilicic acid is highly
unstable, leading it to form polymers. These
polymers are too large for the human body
to absorb. But the patented “choline
stabilization” technology in RegeneMax
prevents the polymers from forming,
ensuring optimal absorption. RegeneMax
has been formulated with clinically proven
ch-OSA for your assurance.
