Your hair is a luxury your body only pays for when the essentials are covered - the follicle is always checking the balance. That's why "your bloods are normal" so often misses it, and why today's shedding is really a report on what your body went through months ago. This isn't "take biotin and hope." It's the reasoning I'd give you across a full consultation, so you can navigate the puzzle instead of guessing.

What's Inside

• The reframe: hair as a luxury your body switches off under strain - the follicle as a sensing organ reading your nutrients, hormones, inflammation and blood supply.
• Why today's shedding is a report on the last 3-6 months (the hair-cycle and telogen-effluvium story).
• The real drivers - thyroid, iron/ferritin, hormones and DHT, stress, nutrient status and inflammation - and how to find which fits you and why that's actually hopeful.
• The ferritin pearl you're never told: why a "normal" iron level still isn't a regrowth number.
• The exact GP bloods to request (and how to read them), plus which popular supplements genuinely help and which quietly don't.
• A staged regrowth protocol, a self-assessment, and test-request sheets.
