 Hair Loss is a Symptom
of Serious Imbalances

Losing your hair can feel as if your body has betrayed

you and you’ve completely lost control.

Seeing your hair fall out in clumps makes you feel less
attractive. It completely destroys your confidence and
your identity.

It affects every area of your life.

That's why I take a full inventory of the whole body including a nutritional
and lifestyle plan designed to improve your health as well as your hair.

Where and how do you start to address this?

Typically we blame our genetics or hormones such as DHT,

however, the truth is there are over 50 causes of hair loss.
When you understand that hair loss is a symptom of a more
serious problem, you can get out your magnifying glass to
inspect your everyday habits, which have created your situation.

Simply put: something is out of balance in your body.

By the end of this guide, you will have a better idea of your type
of hair loss and why you want to address it ASAP. Keep reading!

 You May Have One
or More of These
Underlying Causes
I’ve been in your shoes and I want to ring the
alarm bell on this.

If you’ve noticed hair loss for a while now,

do NOT ignore it.

Why?

With hair loss, the condition can worsen through hair shedding.

The more shedding, the faster miniaturization CAN take place.

Hair follicles can become very tiny—they call it miniaturization

—and even scar, which means it’s too late to reverse the
damage.

This makes hair regrowth nearly impossible.

Causes & Risk Factors
for Thinning Hair
As your hair continues to thin, you may want to scream,
“WHY is my hair falling out?!” It’s very frustrating because it
seems like it comes out of nowhere. Abnormal hair loss is
typically related to one or more of the following causes:

Nutrient deficiencies Chronic inflammation

Gut dysbiosis (imbalances) Adrenal fatigue
Hormonal imbalances Food sensitivities
Cov!d shed Poor circulation
Anemia (iron deficiency) Systemic lupus erythematosus
Poor digestion Syphilis
Malabsorption Heavy exercise
Toxins/Mold Infection
Medications Chronic illness or virus
Major stress/trauma Heavy metals
Interference Indicators Depression
Antigliadin antibodies Skin disease
Autoimmune alopecia Genetics
Fungal imbalances High fever
Crash or liquid diets Excessive hairstyling
Parasites Mass cell activation

 Confused About
Hair Loss?
You're not alone. There are many factors
involved with many overlaps.

 Scalp Hair Follicles:
The Forgotten Organ
If nutrients, including macro and micronutrients,
are not absorbing and/or the body is unhealthy
or unbalanced, hair loss is inevitable.

Exhibit very high cellular turnover

Demand lots of energy

Have a very active metabolism

Require adequate nutrition

intake and absorption

If you want healthy, shiny hair, look at how well your gut is
functioning. I'm sure you've heard the saying, "Beauty is skin
deep," and it’s true. It has a lot to do with the right balance of
bacteria, yeast, and other microbes in your gut. Your digestive
system not only absorbs nutrients but also eliminates toxins
to maintain your overall health while making your hair shine.

When the gut microbiome is out of balance and harmful

bacteria is allowed to flourish, problems can show up in the
scalp and hair in the form of hair loss, inflammation, itchy or
oily scalp, rashes, and dandruff. The key to ensuring healthy
hair is complex. And it's NOT all about nutrition!

To stop hair loss first, it’s necessary to identify hair loss

type(s) to determine root causes to create correct solutions…

Whenever good bacteria is overwhelmed by bad bacteria,

these bad bacteria can pass through the bloodstream, causing
inflammation and certain health disorders hinting towards an
imbalanced gut flora. An imbalanced gut flora can cause
digestive issues, HAIR LOSS, irritable bowel syndrome, mental
disorders, autoimmune diseases, and obesity. You must lower
stress, reduce antibiotic use, and eat a balanced nutritious diet
to help maintain gut flora's health.

 Resistance Disrupters
Affect the Hair & Gut

Chart Source: Cell Wellbeing

Many imbalances in our hair can be caused by mold, bacteria,

fungus, and viruses. Keratinized tissue is the top target protein
invaded. Strengthening our defense system is one of the things
we can do to help our body fight these foreign invaders.

Types of Resistance Disruptors Support for Resistance

Mold: disrupts hormones and immune Garlic Coconut Oil

system regulation causing inflammation Ginger Pumpkin Seeds
Overgrown Fungus or Bacteria: inhibits Pineapple Broccoli
detoxification & cellular communication Onions Quality protein

Parasites: are nutrient pirates causing

systemic havoc, inflammation, and more

 The 5R Framework

These are the

5 Steps

our clients

go through

with successful results.

© 2023 All rights reserved. julieolson.com

 1st Phase = REMOVE

1R Phase is individualized depending on your history

and what stressors YOU need to REMOVE

THE HAIR-GUT AXIS

One of the primary regulators in the hair-gut axis is the immune
system and 80% of it actually lives in the gut. It regulates
inflammation and how the gut microbiota communicates with
the scalp and hair follicles. In addition, if the intestinal barrier
is compromised, it can directly impact hair growth, as is the
case with intestinal permeability (known as leaky gut).

If there is an impaired intestinal barrier, molecules from the gut

can enter the bloodstream, accumulate in the scalp, and
disrupt the hair follicle-scalp microbiome. Hair thinning often
follows digestive disorders, and the gut microbiome plays a
role in the development of numerous inflammatory hair loss
conditions.

 1st Phase = REMOVE

As the scalp-hair follicles and gut are interconnected, their axis

also influences key functions such as:

Metabolism
Bacterial balance (bad can crowd out the good)
Blood sugar levels
Inflammation
Stress levels
Balanced homeostasis
Mood regulation

As you can see, the hair-gut axis influences overall health,

not just hair!

 Remove or Balance
Environmental Toxin
Exposures
One of the biggest challenges since the industrial revolution
is daily exposure to toxins. While our bodies have a system
to rid the body of toxins the system has become inundated
with chemical exposures in our foods, air, water, personal
care products, radiation, and the list goes on and on!

These exposures have a dramatic effect on things such as

hair growth. Identifying, and removing, the toxic burden on
our bodies is a critical step in supporting the regrowth of
healthy hair!

 Interference Indicators:
Reduce EMF Exposure &
Supportive Foods

Reduce Exposure Supportive Foods to Help Remove

EMF/ELF's can negatively impact hair B Vitamins

growth and slow down regrowth. They Spirulina
can also deplete key nutrients that Curcumin
protect hair from oxidative damage. EFA's (Essential

SNPs which predispose them to higher Sulfur
sensitivities to EMF's. Vitamin D3
