It's the most common question I have gotten over the course of my life. Even as a kid, I used to thank God for my hair, which tells you that some of it is genetic! My parents were health freaks before it was a popular thing. We didn't ever use seed oils or highly processed foods. So, part of our genetics is truly epigenetics. We have a baseline of what we can work with but are predisposed to oxidation by lifestyle choices. Kids are not necessarily more resilient; they just don't always have the same toxic load.
I feel like the aftermath of COVID gave a sharper focus to hair health because it was just the viral load that people needed to change how their cells use energy. What I'm seeing is significant hair loss and damage to our mitochondria. And I bet you didn't know these two are related!
Why? Hair is non-essential, if you can believe that. I mean, look at men (of course, premature balding is a symptom of testosterone imbalance), but honestly, it's non-essential. So if our cells struggle with energy, what only gets what's left over? Non-essential things like hair cells and follicles!
If this information interests you at all (and based on what my Instagram algorithm has been showing me lately on what's trending in the health and wellness space, I bet you it does), I'll be breaking this down on a level that can work for everyone in the New Year. It's crucial for the vanity of good hair and for health and longevity overall!
I'll also be sharing products that work long-term and what foods really give you that healthy shine! And because it's the season of giving... I'll give you a hint now: How are your omega levels?? Low-mercury fish should be a staple in your diet multiple times a week, if not already!
