Hair loss?

Good morning health hackers,

If you’re finding more hair in your shower drain than usual, it’s time to get to the root cause. Hair loss isn’t just about aging—it’s often tied to hormones, nutrient deficiencies, and genetics.

4 key reasons you’re losing hair

1. high DHT levels – DHT is known as the hair follicle killer, and it’s regulated by the SRD5A2 gene. If your body produces too much, it can shrink hair follicles and cause thinning.

2. estrogen dominance – Excess estrogen can lead to hair shedding, influenced by genes like CYP19A1, CYP1B1, and COMT.

3. vitamin D deficiency – A lack of vitamin D is linked to hair loss, but supplementing won’t help unless your VDR and CYP2R1 genes are functioning properly.

4. folate deficiency – Your ability to process folate (critical for hair growth) depends on genes like MTHFR and SHMT1.

Other factors to consider

Poor detoxification, chronic stress, and immune dysfunction also play a role in hair thinning—and your genes can determine how susceptible you are.

Understanding your genetic profile can help you target the real cause of your hair loss and build a personalized strategy to regrow thick, healthy hair.
