What Causes Hair Loss? Common Alopecia Triggers
Hair loss is a reflection of what’s happening internally and is often the result of multiple underlying root causes unique to each individual. Your hair loss could be linked to:
- Autoimmune Triggers (Alopecia Areata, Hashimoto’s)
- High Stress & Cortisol Dysregulation (Telogen Effluvium)
- Hormonal Imbalances (Androgenic Alopecia, PCOS, Thyroid Dysfunction, Estrogen Dominance)
- Nutrient Deficiencies (Vitamin D, Iron, Selenium, Zinc, & more)
- Gut Dysbiosis, Leaky Gut & Malabsorption Issues
- Chronic infections (Lyme, EBV, Mycotoxins)
Comprehensive Lab Testing
At Cura Integrative Medicine, we go beyond standard labs to get a full picture of what’s happening inside your body. Through advanced functional lab testing, we can identify underlying root-causes for a targeted plan for healing.
- Gut Health & Absorption (Microbiome Testing, Leaky Gut Markers)
- Hormones (Thyroid, Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, DHT, Cortisol)
- Nutrient Status (Iron, Ferritin, Zinc, B12, Vitamin D)
- Inflammatory Markers (CRP, Homocysteine, Autoimmune Panels)
- & More
Why It Matters: Many standard lab tests miss subtle imbalances because they only look at broad “normal” ranges. We take a functional approach, evaluating optimal levels to ensure your body is functioning at its best.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Based on your unique lab results and history, we create a customized protocol that may include:
- Gut Healing – To improve nutrient absorption, reduce inflammation, and optimize digestion for healthy hair growth.
- Stress Management – Priming your body to handle day to day stressors and supporting nervous system regulation to reduce stress-induced hair loss.
- Nutrient Optimization – Restoring essential vitamins & minerals for hair health
- Hormone Balancing – Addressing PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, estrogen dominance, or any other imbalances
- Addressing Chronic Infections – That may be contributing to systemic inflammation and hair loss
- Detox & Mitochondrial Support – To improve cellular energy & hair follicle function
- Targeted Supplements & Lifestyle Adjustments – Backed by science for regrowth
