Integrative and Complementary Approach to Alopecia Areata
Dr. Sarah’s Personal Hair Loss – Alopecia Journey
Dr. Sarah was diagnosed with alopecia areata her senior year of college, leading to complete hair loss. With little help from conventional medicine, she turned to a holistic, root cause approach and in doing so, reversed her alopecia and restored her health. Having experienced firsthand the frustration, isolation, and hopelessness that can come with hair loss, she is now dedicated to helping others regain their confidence and vitality through science-backed, integrative care.
Why Am I Losing My Hair? Alopecia
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
