Alopecia

Condition
Alopecia is an adrenal hormone condition, not autoimmune. An undiscovered hormone produced by the adrenal glands — one of 56+ undiscovered adrenaline blends — is responsible for keeping hair follicles alive and stimulating hair growth. When this hormone diminishes due to adrenal depletion, hair falls out. Medical science has not discovered or tagged this hormone. Women are never supposed to lose their hair.

Important Notes

  • Deer antler and steroid compounds can knock the hair off women's heads over time. Avoid these supplements when dealing with alopecia.
  • Intermittent fasting done the wrong way can cause hair to fall out. Skipping meals can stress the adrenals and deplete the hormone responsible for hair follicle survival.
  • Poor diet and liver burden: A poor diet — particularly high-fat diets, carnivore or keto — burdens the liver and depletes adrenaline stores. The liver's condition is tied to hair health. A maxed-out liver contributes to hair loss alongside the adrenal hormone depletion.
  • Weakened adrenals: Adrenals get wiped out during menstrual cycles and childbirth, losing specific hormone that keeps hair follicles alive
  • Missing adrenal hormone: Alopecia is an adrenal hormone condition, not autoimmune. The adrenal glands produce 56+ different blends of adrenaline, not just cortisol and epinephrine. One of these undiscovered hormones is specifically responsible for keeping hair follicles alive on women's heads. When this hormone diminishes, hair falls out in patches (classic spot baldness) or in clumps. Medical research and science are unaware of this hormone's existence, leading to misclassification of alopecia as autoimmune.
  • Emotional stress and trauma: Emotional stress, trauma, heartache, loss, financial stress, difficult relationships, breakups, betrayal, and emotional harm cause large amounts of adrenaline to be released. This depletes the adrenal hormone responsible for hair follicle survival. Hair falls out 6 months to 1 year after the stressful period.
  • Adrenaline depletion: Lifetime of adrenaline released during birthing process, emotional stress, trauma, poor diet can deplete adrenals
  • Prenatal adrenal weakness: Mother's caffeine consumption (coffee, chocolate, tea, matcha) during pregnancy weakens the baby's adrenals in the womb. The baby is born with compromised adrenals that are more vulnerable to adrenaline depletion throughout life, leading to earlier onset of alopecia.
  • Prenatal factors: Mother's caffeine consumption during pregnancy can weaken baby's adrenals from the start
  • Adrenal depletion — childbirth: The birthing process requires a lifetime's worth of adrenaline. During childbirth, the adrenals get wiped out of certain hormones including the specific one responsible for keeping hair follicles alive. Post-childbirth hair loss typically begins 6 months to 1 year later due to this delayed hormonal depletion.
  • Adrenal depletion — menstrual cycle: Women's immune system lowers by 80% during each menstrual cycle (80% works on reproductive system, only 20% remains for rest of body). Every menstrual cycle, adrenaline is released and adrenals go under stress. Over years and decades, this depletes the specific hormone that keeps hair follicles alive, leading to progressive hair loss.
