EP 136 Hair Loss in Postpartum: Your Guide to Prevention and Recovery

Postpartum University® Podcast

I spoke in a previous episode about the reasons for postpartum hair loss due to physiological changes in the body. Definitely give that a listen as a foundation to today's conversation.

In this episode, we'll emphasize once again that hair loss in postpartum is not normal and discuss strategies for prevention and recovery.

In this episode, we're sharing:

• Strategies for prevention of and recovery from postpartum hair loss.
• Why significant amounts of hair loss should never be considered normal.
• Why nutrition and hydration through food need to be the foundation of recovery and prevention rather than supplements.
• The role environmental toxins play and how to safely detox during this time period.
• 3 important key factors in hair loss and how to take them into consideration during pregnancy and postpartum.

This question about how much hair loss is "normal" is one I get often. I truly hope you find this helpful and will continue advocating for yourself and/or your clients in getting to the root cause of hormonal imbalance symptoms like this.
