Dr Berg notes: A study has shown that over 90 percent of people suffering from alopecia are deficient in an amino acid called histidine. This essential amino acid is a precursor to histamine, which plays a vital role in immune reactions, allergies, and inflammation. Deficiencies in histidine can lead to anemia, while excessive intake can cause premature ejaculation. However, the right amount of histidine in your diet can promote healthy hair growth by helping to produce keratin and regulating copper and zinc levels. Certain medications and alcohol consumption may lower histidine levels in the body, while inadequate stomach acid can hinder its absorption from food sources. To counter this issue, betaine hydrochloride can be taken as an acidifier. But to fully utilize histidine, specific co-factors must be present, such as vitamin B6, proper copper and zinc ratios, and folate. The top three foods that can help combat hair loss are: 1. Organ meats, including liver, due to the histidine and other essential nutrients they contain. 2. Animal proteins, such as beef and chicken, are rich in histidine and other amino acids necessary for hair regeneration. 3. Shellfish, particularly shrimp, scallops, and crabs, provide high levels of zinc and copper that can help maintain proper ratios in the body. It's important to note that having enough folate in your diet is essential for hair development. It's best to obtain folate from natural sources, as taking supplements such as folic acid may inhibit the conversion of histidine into its active form. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍

Dr. Berg, I just commented on your most recent live regarding help with alopecia. I was recently diagnosed due to high stress and now taking a "cocktail" of treatments, as my doctor calls it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for sharing this video today. I knew my diet could be my fastest recovery to hair growth and Im proud to say I'm eating most of the things you listed except liver and shellfish. So, i will make these adjustments and hope for the best. Thank you again. And...I love you. 😮
Sharing what worked for me- Fenugreek powder soaked in water . Apply in morning on our head (2wice a week) and leave for an hour. Helped stop hairfall and some what supported hair growth.

Hey Doc, a few months ago I began losing my hair. I mean like (gulp) big chunks of hair. I freaked out as I’ve always had beautiful, thick glossy hair. I upped my biotin & vitamin D dose. Began taking silica, protein powder and collagen & voila… my hair is no longer falling out‼️ In fact the shedding is now less than it’s ever been. Neither is it breaking. It pays dividends to listen to hair videos & get onto it ASAP. Thanks for another informative video. 👏👏
I had a problem with a 3 day fast. Still working on recuperating. I was using lemon water and trace minerals during the 3 day fast. So I concluded that I need oils (like olive and mct) and proteins (possibly collagen) , every day.
@@andreadamascceno2139Take silica on an empty stomach. My fingernails are the strongest & longest they’ve been in years. In fact, my grand daughter is in awe of my finger nails. It takes a couple of months to take effect, but stick with it. 👏👌🏻

This video is 6 minutes but you posted the comment in less than 2 minutes after it got posted. You are one of those guys who gets paid to positively comment, right?
Dr.Berg please mention flouride water and how that contributes to hair loss via the calcification of the scalp. I was experiecing hair loss in only 1 region of my head, and after pondering for a while and doing some research I learned that flouride water can lead to hair loss. I had to use apple cide vinegar and a scrub to decalsify my scalp. Hair is returning now.
Losing hair is so painful. I am 27 old guy with a bald head who started losing his hair after turning into like 21. It would have been so good if we had any proper tests or something to diagnose the cause and reverse it 🥺. This hair fall sucked out the whole energy and my youth out of me, left me with only stress etc.
You are more than just a head full of hair, God created us for an ultimate purpose. One should not dwell on trivial matters. Remember that One day we shall all enter the grave and be eaten by worms.
I've been watching this guy since he had something like 7 million I think subscribers, he's come a long way, and I'm sure some of you have been here since he had 100 back in the day. lol anyways have to say the man talks sense and his subscribers are well earned and well deserved.
@ahbub499 I think any nutrient deficiency plays key roles in the body, so if you give your gut microbiome what it wants then it will return the favour and you will absorb the necessary nutrients your body needs. Eating healthy and diverse foods, cutting out sugar where possible increases the absorption of nutrients, since we all know sugar decreases the absorption of the healthy stuff, exercising helps blood flow all over the body, that can increase healthy hair, but biotin nutrient is important for hair regeneration. I took a biotin supplement that was good for 12-15 months noticed thicker hair, but took me 12 months to notice changes, I combined exercise daily with that, fasting but eating 1-2 meals a day that was large 1950-2950 calories and filled with healthy food only. The calories were dependant on splitting 2 meals a day with 2 hours inbetween each, I did that cause it was sports nutrition back in the day, kept me fit young and I never gained any weight and leaned out with lean bulking. Bare in mind, I've tested the exercise theory, I stopped exercising over the pandemic and about 4 years now of non running/cardio, for that blood flow everywhere, I noticed that my hair has become more thinner and falls out more than before, it does regrow back but thats because I take a lot of supplements for hair growth Biotin being the main one, I do take collagen but thats more for skin, joints and bones.
I love this video. Prolonged fasting is amazing but make sure your body isn’t rejecting it with hair loss or mood. You should feel good and look healthy
I had a problem with a 3 day fast and I was using lemon water and electrolites. Came to the conclusion that my body needs some protein and some oil (like olive oil or mct) every day.
You dont fast with lemon water it has small amounts of calories and is acidic so it tells your body that food is coming. Not a true fast electrolytes should be fine, but try again without lemon water it will be better. With lemon water your teeth will feel weak and you will feel lethargic and achy joints. You don't need oil and protein every day. People need to fast. I would do a dry fast but that's up to You
Fasting with saltwater instead is best. Of course, use pure salt and don't drink it in every single glass of water, but it's good for keeping your energy and electrolytes up.
This is amazing! Never been the overzealous kind, but Healthy Keto has helped me so much! From being introverted to having outbursts of singing out loud in public! 😂 I sure hope I'm not misunderstood for being insouciant in stressful situations. I just feel so great! Have a wonderful day, everyone! 🙂
Increasing my protein intake is causing my hair to grow back. Due to 30 years of dieting, it turns out that I had been depriving my body of sufficient protein for a very, very long time. Even Rogaine only helped a little, but tripling my protein intake since last summer is not only restoring my hair on top, but my hairline is coming forward, too. A quarter of an inch so far. I know, because I have a little birthmark that was exposed and now it's covered up by hair again. Also, my resting heart rate is down by 30 beats/minute. That one floored me. Without any extra exercise, mind you.
@@DrbergI am 40 years old, no family history of psoriasis whatsoever…but I recently developed scalp psoriasis out of nowhere, what the heck?! Are you able to make a video about this? Or at least maybe refer me to some research I could read about..this flipping sucks! I used to shave my head a lot but since I noticed the issue, I grew my hair out for the past year…it is so embarrassing
Liver isn’t for me either. Makes me gag.. but you can get ground dehydrated liver put into capsules and they are easy to swallow. No liver taste. Search online. Hope this helps :)
I have a friend that was bald and he used peppermint oil and rosemary oil. Everyday for a year he placed a couple drops on his head scratched his head before cleaning his hair. So it was part of his daily routine. Now he has a full head of hair! He has thick curly hair.
Thanks again Dr. Berg for your great and beneficial info. Some think that most of the comments are paid by you, which is so silly. I have never once been paid for any of my comments on your videos. I will say that following your remedies and advice is payment enough for me. I think "most" of us can agree to that, or we all wouldn't be subscribed to your channel. 💜💙❤️
I had got the Gastric Bypass surgery 20 years ago and about 12 years ago I started loosing my hair on the front of my scalp. It was nearly as bad as a babies butt and someone told me I needed to take Collagen pills for men so I ordered a bottle of them and started taking them. After one month I noticed when shaving my face that I had new hair growth on the front of my scalp. Now I have been taking it for two months and I have hair long enough to fold over on my scalp and cover the front. The Gastric Bypass really caused me a lot of issues. But I'm going to keep taking the Collagen pills for men and see if I can grow a full head of hair again. I knew that I was missing a few minerals but I didn't know which ones.
Here's another tidbit: with the pharmaceutical companies heavy marketing of antihistamines this could definitely be a part of the problem since it blocks histidine from working. It won't help one bit to eat foods or take a supplement for histidine if you're taking a drug to block it.
I've been taking 48 milligrams of betahistine dihydrochlorine for 14 years everyday it's a drug that stops the body producing histamine in the ear it's for menieres disease I am 62 and have a thick full head of hair .
I have had thinning and also the eczema and digestive issues. Yet immune is good as I almost never get sick. I do eat veggies probably not enough meat. I think it's on the right track and closing in on real solutions. Thanks
I have a question? Every time I buy shellfish, salmon I ask the seller the same question is this straight from the ocean or is it farmed? Someone said if it’s farmed it is likely to contain antibiotics and synthetic vitamins and minerals as that’s what they feed the fish. This is becoming increasingly difficult to ascertain as there no one to as,if your buying frozen fish. I think when we are talking food , the sources have to be specifically stated . Thanks for your guidance on this 😊
I have always had thick hair but 2 years ago i got covid and exactly 2 months later i started having hair loss for 6 weeks. I am still dealing with it get it to grow back in the front of course.
Please do more hair loss videos my daughter has been loosing her hair since she was 16 I have tried everything Nutrafol Viviscal everything sugar berry every hair products out their
Dr Berg, I have a severe fish alergy, which I've had all my life. What can I eat to make up for the lack of fish please? I'm now quite concerned about it.
The thumbnail for this video shows an illustration of what appears to be a woman with dramatic hair regrowth but you did not mention how progesterone levels are involved in hair loss vis-à-vis keto/IF in women. Is that a separate video?
I've been about 99% carnivore for 9 months and my hair has almost doubled in thickness and grown about 6 inches. I have had bone broth nearly daily as well.
Eu também estou na dieta carnívora, consumo caldo de ovos em tudo, e faço jejum intermitente todos os dias de 19h. Faço até mousse de chocolate com caldo de ossos, que fica simplesmente perfeito.

Minded the same but I went and died it because I couldn’t stand the gray and the hair dye that I have used most of my life started the hair loss up again and I dumped almost all of the new growth. Oh my gosh I just wanted to cry.
@@joanneclark8256 I took biotin, collagen, made an essential oil concoction, finally it started to return. I stopped everything but the collagen and it did not affect my hair regrowth.
Wow, this really resonates with me. Thank you for bringing this up Dr. I have had Histamine issues since last summer, which is exactly when I started having hair loss. Taking DOA, Zyrtec, Benadryl when needed. As well as a low histamine low salicylic acid low oxalate diet. It has not been easy and my hair continues to slowly fall out so depressing. 😢
Thanks, Doc! I had been noticing a bit of hair loss, over time……but it wasn’t until someone referred to me as “Baldie”, instead of Barbie, that made me wonder if hair loss and the recession of a once decent looking forehead, was something I now needed to address…lol. I have been taking some collagen supps, which seem to work somewhat, but I pretty much knew that my diet had something to do with the thinning and such, as well as some deficiencies in my diet, (and stress..lol), as usual. I haven’t dropped by your channel in some time, and my life has changed so much since I watched your first video, Sir, but I knew if I came back, you would have info that would be useful, yet again. Take care, Doc Berg, and keep sharing the good stuff to those with “ears to hears” your message of hope and health for all. 🌻
@@joanneclark8256 Onion Juice, it does help the hair grow, but I find carnivore to be the most efficacious when it comes to hair health. It’s insane! Carnivore is perfect for skin, hair and nails, since the gut is the root cause of hair growth or hair loss, if you’re here on a keto channel it’s likely you’ve run into digestive issues. I’m bad at carnivore lately because of the freedom I have to experiment, but it works like nothing else for hair. Red Cabbage is good for L-Glutmaine, Onions are also good, but if your gut cannot tolerate greens at the moment but you’re worried about your hair, carnivore is the best response, it’s quickly becoming my only response.
Cooking beef liver with onions and bell pepper tastes like beef pepper steak. I used to make this years ago, so I'll be including it in my diet again. My hair has become noticeably thinner over the past few years, and I'm prone to seasonal allergies. So hopefully eating liver once a week or a couple of times during the month will help.
usually i am lunch in the restaurant, i prefer seafood rather than meat. I do know they have the most powerful natural sources of zinc. thank u doctor~
59 YEAR OLD MALE - Full head of thick dark hair. My younger brother 55 years old. Mostly bald and what hair he has left on the side of his head is mostly grey. What is the difference between us? He has 4 children and is always stressed out. My wife and I never had children. That's the difference. Basically the same diet. So don't stress.
Stress is definitely a key factor. Aside from the example of many other people, Ive actually seen my own hair, here and there plucks turn white after some periods when i went through a lot of stress and depression. The other day i read about how your hair actually stops from turning white when you "recover" mentally, stress less and hairs turn white less rapidly. So im working on that.
Genetics plays a role, too. My siblings have very thick, curly dark hair. No hair loss with any of them. I was born with thin blonde hair & it has periods of loss. And yes, same parents.
Stress and diet. I'm from a family of 5 children my eldest brother thick hair, my sister very thin fine hair, next brother medium, all kept the hair colour, next brother is white grey and very thin, I have maintained my hair colour and although it's not thick strong hair it's not thin after taking vitamins D3, K2 and using a red light therapy. lamp, what a difference they've made.
I’m 39. My hair started falling out and thinning badly 8 months ago. Blood work normal, changed shampoos and diet tried rogaine and it’s still happening. Went to a different doctor / dermatologist and he says your hair is still thick. Sometimes it just happens and told me to try over the counter meds and come back if it gets worse. This is stressful. Oh my ferritin was low but my primary said it’s nothing to be concerned about.
@@mariamaria2751Because those two are the only thing that are PROVEN to work to combat Androgenic Alopecia (pattern baldness). Nearly everything else is snake oil garbage.

yes am 40 years old and am loosing my hair, in fact today I took the public bus and through the close security system of the bus I notice that the top part of my scalp is visible now, and I came to the conclusion that; well, that was me and that I need to get use to my new look . It also cross my mind to shave all my hair and get use to me being bold but then a second thought appear which was to simply accept myself the way I am....I mean after all am 40 years old and my body reflect that...
When I'm on a “Keto” diet, I start losing hair about 2 months in. I have to give up “Keto” diet because of my hair loss. What do you advise me to do to solve this problem?
Thanks so much for the useful information as always Dr. Berg. I am a 53 year old female and have been dealing with thinning hair over the last year. What supplement is an alternative to eating organ meat/liver? Not a fan of liver. Thanks!
Depends if you are achieving YOUR health goals. www.youtube.com/@Drberg/search?query=Fruit www.youtube.com/@Drberg/search?query=Fructose www.youtube.com/@Drberg/search?query=Dried%20Fruit Berries are the less bad option.
Interesting. My husband was on methotrexate from about ages 12 to 27 for supposed arthritis and they had him supplementing folic acid. He's 36 now but I wonder if there might be any long term impacts. He's balding rapidly the last few years.
QUESTION: Dr. Berg, per your suggestions, I have been taking one tablespoon of cod liver oil per day. Does that count for naturally adding folate to the body that was given to me?
What really helps me is hazelnut chocolate - it helps me forget about my hair loss.

@@dizzeefrench1390it’s an immune system disorder but toxic foods and environmental stress are both bad.
I look awesome in my shaved head and are thus glad for my initial hair loss!
Im happy my head is decently shaped for a bald guy. So no shame to hide
Losing hair is so painful. I am 27 old guy with a bald head who started losing his hair after turning into like 21. It would have been so good if we had any proper tests or something to diagnose the cause and reverse it 🥺. This hair fall sucked out the whole energy and my youth out of me, left me with only stress etc.
Have you tried micro needle, red light therapy, rosemary oil and castor oil?
Hey dude Hope you are ok. Try this info. Nothing yo loose.
Get smp...I did. Amazing increase in confidence....and we done worrying; taking all kinds of stuff etc
You are more than just a head full of hair, God created us for an ultimate purpose. One should not dwell on trivial matters. Remember that One day we shall all enter the grave and be eaten by worms.
Testosterone makes men bald early. So, take it as a sign of your virility.
Thanks for stomach ulcer video

Do you had also h pylori infection or just ulcer ?

Dr. Berg, your hair looks pretty righteous. Thanks for slicking it up for a video about hair. 👊

Dr Berg, you should start doing consultations, or write a book with all the problems and their solutions. Love your videos.
I've been watching this guy since he had something like 7 million I think subscribers, he's come a long way, and I'm sure some of you have been here since he had 100 back in the day. lol anyways have to say the man talks sense and his subscribers are well earned and well deserved.
I am on a low potassium diet,could that be the cause of my too much hair loss?
@ahbub499 I think any nutrient deficiency plays key roles in the body, so if you give your gut microbiome what it wants then it will return the favour and you will absorb the necessary nutrients your body needs.
Eating healthy and diverse foods, cutting out sugar where possible increases the absorption of nutrients, since we all know sugar decreases the absorption of the healthy stuff, exercising helps blood flow all over the body, that can increase healthy hair, but biotin nutrient is important for hair regeneration.
I took a biotin supplement that was good for 12-15 months noticed thicker hair, but took me 12 months to notice changes, I combined exercise daily with that, fasting but eating 1-2 meals a day that was large 1950-2950 calories and filled with healthy food only.
The calories were dependant on splitting 2 meals a day with 2 hours inbetween each, I did that cause it was sports nutrition back in the day, kept me fit young and I never gained any weight and leaned out with lean bulking.
Bare in mind, I've tested the exercise theory, I stopped exercising over the pandemic and about 4 years now of non running/cardio, for that blood flow everywhere, I noticed that my hair has become more thinner and falls out more than before, it does regrow back but thats because I take a lot of supplements for hair growth Biotin being the main one, I do take collagen but thats more for skin, joints and bones.
Your videos are always full of wisdom. Thank you, Sir
I love this video. Prolonged fasting is amazing but make sure your body isn’t rejecting it with hair loss or mood. You should feel good and look healthy
Smart.
I had a problem with a 3 day fast and I was using lemon water and electrolites. Came to the conclusion that my body needs some protein and some oil (like olive oil or mct) every day.
You dont fast with lemon water it has small amounts of calories and is acidic so it tells your body that food is coming. Not a true fast electrolytes should be fine, but try again without lemon water it will be better. With lemon water your teeth will feel weak and you will feel lethargic and achy joints. You don't need oil and protein every day. People need to fast. I would do a dry fast but that's up to You
Lemon water? Why?
Fasting with saltwater instead is best. Of course, use pure salt and don't drink it in every single glass of water, but it's good for keeping your energy and electrolytes up.
This is amazing! Never been the overzealous kind, but Healthy Keto has helped me so much! From being introverted to having outbursts of singing out loud in public! 😂 I sure hope I'm not misunderstood for being insouciant in stressful situations. I just feel so great! Have a wonderful day, everyone! 🙂
Increasing my protein intake is causing my hair to grow back. Due to 30 years of dieting, it turns out that I had been depriving my body of sufficient protein for a very, very long time. Even Rogaine only helped a little, but tripling my protein intake since last summer is not only restoring my hair on top, but my hairline is coming forward, too. A quarter of an inch so far. I know, because I have a little birthmark that was exposed and now it's covered up by hair again. Also, my resting heart rate is down by 30 beats/minute. That one floored me. Without any extra exercise, mind you.
Amazing. Thanks for sharing your experience here.
how much is one of your serving before triple?
@@DrbergI am 40 years old, no family history of psoriasis whatsoever…but I recently developed scalp psoriasis out of nowhere, what the heck?! Are you able to make a video about this? Or at least maybe refer me to some research I could read about..this flipping sucks! I used to shave my head a lot but since I noticed the issue, I grew my hair out for the past year…it is so embarrassing

I hate my thinning hair so much! I don't think I can do the liver, but I love shrimp!! Thanks for the info...
I could not eat liver either, but sadly can't face shrimp either.
Liver isn’t for me either. Makes me gag.. but you can get ground dehydrated liver put into capsules and they are easy to swallow. No liver taste. Search online. Hope this helps :)
I have a friend that was bald and he used peppermint oil and rosemary oil. Everyday for a year he placed a couple drops on his head scratched his head before cleaning his hair. So it was part of his daily routine.
Now he has a full head of hair!
He has thick curly hair.
That’s awesome! May I ask how old is your friend?
This friend of yours, would he be willing to let you share before / after pics of his scalp?

Moringa Oil is amazing to use too!
I really appreciate this video. You are awesome. Keep going! All the best to you and your wife.
Dr.Berg, any remedy for Vegetarians?
Thanks again Dr. Berg for your great and beneficial info. Some think that most of the comments are paid by you, which is so silly. I have never once been paid for any of my comments on your videos. I will say that following your remedies and advice is payment enough for me. I think "most" of us can agree to that, or we all wouldn't be subscribed to your channel. 💜💙❤️
I had got the Gastric Bypass surgery 20 years ago and about 12 years ago I started loosing my hair on the front of my scalp. It was nearly as bad as a babies butt and someone told me I needed to take Collagen pills for men so I ordered a bottle of them and started taking them. After one month I noticed when shaving my face that I had new hair growth on the front of my scalp. Now I have been taking it for two months and I have hair long enough to fold over on my scalp and cover the front. The Gastric Bypass really caused me a lot of issues. But I'm going to keep taking the Collagen pills for men and see if I can grow a full head of hair again. I knew that I was missing a few minerals but I didn't know which ones.
Here's another tidbit: with the pharmaceutical companies heavy marketing of antihistamines this could definitely be a part of the problem since it blocks histidine from working. It won't help one bit to eat foods or take a supplement for histidine if you're taking a drug to block it.
Does Montelukast + Levocetirizine cause hairloss ?
@@lil_per_vertmontelukast only affects LTRA and IgE. No action on actual histamine response.
@@lil_per_vert idk 🤷♂️ sorry
Good question. I’m on Montelukast and Hydroxyzine.
I've been taking 48 milligrams of betahistine dihydrochlorine for 14 years everyday it's a drug that stops the body producing histamine in the ear it's for menieres disease I am 62 and have a thick full head of hair .
I’m deathly allergic to shellfish. What supplements would cover this deficiency?
I have had thinning and also the eczema and digestive issues. Yet immune is good as I almost never get sick. I do eat veggies probably not enough meat. I think it's on the right track and closing in on real solutions. Thanks
Try Dr axe chocolate or vanilla bone broth and collegen 🤍🤎🕊🤎🤍.
I want to thank you for providing such high-quality content. The way you share makes me feel connected and makes it easy to apply in my life.
if you eat liver, you have to eat it with onions and garlic. if you cook it with butter, onion and garlic, it tastes so much better.
Make a mince of it tastes very good.
I have a question? Every time I buy shellfish, salmon I ask the seller the same question is this straight from the ocean or is it farmed? Someone said if it’s farmed it is likely to contain antibiotics and synthetic vitamins and minerals as that’s what they feed the fish. This is becoming increasingly difficult to ascertain as there no one to as,if your buying frozen fish. I think when we are talking food , the sources have to be specifically stated . Thanks for your guidance on this 😊
I have always had thick hair but 2 years ago i got covid and exactly 2 months later i started having hair loss for 6 weeks. I am still dealing with it get it to grow back in the front of course.
Please do more hair loss videos my daughter has been loosing her hair since she was 16 I have tried everything Nutrafol Viviscal everything sugar berry every hair products out their
Taking birth control (estrogen) causes hair loss.
Dr Berg, I have a severe fish alergy, which I've had all my life. What can I eat to make up for the lack of fish please? I'm now quite concerned about it.
May be seaweed, flaxseed and spirulina can help.
Nice, the more people who buy into this, the less competition for me who actually will maintain or regrow some hair
Hahaha. You only have to out run your friend, not the bear 🐻 😂 Better hair wins.
The thumbnail for this video shows an illustration of what appears to be a woman with dramatic hair regrowth but you did not mention how progesterone levels are involved in hair loss vis-à-vis keto/IF in women. Is that a separate video?
Thanks! Dr. Berg, once again - great graphics and informative presentation!
Fried liver & onions , 💪
Dr Berg , What nutritional recommendations do you have to prevent hair loss during and after Chemotherapy ? Thank you 🙏🏽
Dr.please suggest for vegetarian, how to stop hair loss.
A lot of doctors will now recommend not being vegetarian.
I've been about 99% carnivore for 9 months and my hair has almost doubled in thickness and grown about 6 inches. I have had bone broth nearly daily as well.
Do you mind telling me what a day of eating typically looks like? Also, do you do intermittent fasting?
@@truthbeliever24📌
Eu também estou na dieta carnívora, consumo caldo de ovos em tudo, e faço jejum intermitente todos os dias de 19h. Faço até mousse de chocolate com caldo de ossos, que fica simplesmente perfeito.
@as2223 love it! The Ick of a person you are, low vibration and mind frequency to literally take time scrolling and reading comments until the low frequency brain waves your on decides to comment with such a extreme low no brain thinking whatsoever comment.
Go try putting your feet in the grass. Ya might just get some positive energy. Have the day you deserve🫠
Minded the same but I went and died it because I couldn’t stand the gray and the hair dye that I have used most of my life started the hair loss up again and I dumped almost all of the new growth. Oh my gosh I just wanted to cry.
Grains - anti-nutrients: Can also cause nutritional deficiencies.
I had serious hair fallout for the first three months after I started my 18:6 fasting, it returned to normal after about 6 months.
Did you do anything to stop it .. add foods??? Anything
@@joanneclark8256 I took biotin, collagen, made an essential oil concoction, finally it started to return. I stopped everything but the collagen and it did not affect my hair regrowth.
so thats why i lost my hair, im to poor to eat properly, guess ill try the suppliments, cheers doc!
nope if you have any left star taking finesteride immediatly thne monixidil
Wow, this really resonates with me. Thank you for bringing this up Dr. I have had Histamine issues since last summer, which is exactly when I started having hair loss. Taking DOA, Zyrtec, Benadryl when needed. As well as a low histamine low salicylic acid low oxalate diet. It has not been easy and my hair continues to slowly fall out so depressing. 😢
Can you do carivore? .. what has helped your hair loose?
Thanks for sharing , Doctor 🥰
I've been taking antihistamines for some time. Can that be the cause of my hairfall?
Your videos are gold dr berg! Anyway you could do a video on supplements you take regularly? Thanks and stay well

Dear Dr. Berg, I can’t thank you enough for everything you do for us. Am eternally grateful and definitely healthier! Many thanks. S.
Dr. Berg can you do a video on PCOS and what the diet should be pleaseeeee
You mean like ALL these: www.youtube.com/@Drberg/search?query=PCOS
Thanks, Doc! I had been noticing a bit of hair loss, over time……but it wasn’t until someone referred to me as “Baldie”, instead of Barbie, that made me wonder if hair loss and the recession of a once decent looking forehead, was something I now needed to address…lol. I have been taking some collagen supps, which seem to work somewhat, but I pretty much knew that my diet had something to do with the thinning and such, as well as some deficiencies in my diet, (and stress..lol), as usual. I haven’t dropped by your channel in some time, and my life has changed so much since I watched your first video, Sir, but I knew if I came back, you would have info that would be useful, yet again. Take care, Doc Berg, and keep sharing the good stuff to those with “ears to hears” your message of hope and health for all. 🌻
Thank you for this advice, also for your advice about onions! Thank you always for your brilliant work and wisdom!
What's the word on onions ??
@@joanneclark8256 Onion Juice, it does help the hair grow, but I find carnivore to be the most efficacious when it comes to hair health. It’s insane! Carnivore is perfect for skin, hair and nails, since the gut is the root cause of hair growth or hair loss, if you’re here on a keto channel it’s likely you’ve run into digestive issues. I’m bad at carnivore lately because of the freedom I have to experiment, but it works like nothing else for hair. Red Cabbage is good for L-Glutmaine, Onions are also good, but if your gut cannot tolerate greens at the moment but you’re worried about your hair, carnivore is the best response, it’s quickly becoming my only response.
Hello sir... Please share your view on shilajit and ashwagandha..
I have like 10 supplements in my routine and I just feel like it’s never enough… I’m overwhelmed 😢
If you eat beef liver you can take less supplements because it has so much of many nutrients.
A good multi, a good visoil (because I don’t consume fatty vis), vit D 4000 and K2. Thats it.
When I work out I take extra protein and I eat meat.
Please tell us about vegetarian diet
Dr…would taking nutritional yeast help the B vitamins???
Yes. It is a good source of B vitamins. Please see here: th-cam.com/video/vAVSmmIdNpY/w-d-xo.html
@@Drberg thank you for responding
Cooking beef liver with onions and bell pepper tastes like beef pepper steak. I used to make this years ago, so I'll be including it in my diet again. My hair has become noticeably thinner over the past few years, and I'm prone to seasonal allergies. So hopefully eating liver once a week or a couple of times during the month will help.
usually i am lunch in the restaurant, i prefer seafood rather than meat. I do know they have the most powerful natural sources of zinc. thank u doctor~
What about mercury?

59 YEAR OLD MALE - Full head of thick dark hair. My younger brother 55 years old. Mostly bald and what hair he has left on the side of his head is mostly grey. What is the difference between us? He has 4 children and is always stressed out. My wife and I never had children. That's the difference. Basically the same diet. So don't stress.
Maybe you got different moms? 🤣
Stress is definitely a key factor. Aside from the example of many other people, Ive actually seen my own hair, here and there plucks turn white after some periods when i went through a lot of stress and depression. The other day i read about how your hair actually stops from turning white when you "recover" mentally, stress less and hairs turn white less rapidly. So im working on that.
Genetics plays a role, too. My siblings have very thick, curly dark hair. No hair loss with any of them. I was born with thin blonde hair & it has periods of loss. And yes, same parents.
Stress and diet. I'm from a family of 5 children my eldest brother thick hair, my sister very thin fine hair, next brother medium, all kept the hair colour, next brother is white grey and very thin, I have maintained my hair colour and although it's not thick strong hair it's not thin after taking vitamins D3, K2 and using a red light therapy. lamp, what a difference they've made.

I’m 39. My hair started falling out and thinning badly 8 months ago. Blood work normal, changed shampoos and diet tried rogaine and it’s still happening. Went to a different doctor / dermatologist and he says your hair is still thick. Sometimes it just happens and told me to try over the counter meds and come back if it gets worse. This is stressful. Oh my ferritin was low but my primary said it’s nothing to be concerned about.
Wonderful information and you're right, Dr Berg. Beef liver with onions is amazingly nutritious. Thanks for your helpful advice as always 🙏🏻

yes am 40 years old and am loosing my hair, in fact today I took the public bus and through the close security system of the bus I notice that the top part of my scalp is visible now, and I came to the conclusion that; well, that was me and that I need to get use to my new look . It also cross my mind to shave all my hair and get use to me being bold but then a second thought appear which was to simply accept myself the way I am....I mean after all am 40 years old and my body reflect that...

Interesting. My husband was on methotrexate from about ages 12 to 27 for supposed arthritis and they had him supplementing folic acid. He's 36 now but I wonder if there might be any long term impacts. He's balding rapidly the last few years.
Yes! Exactly! This methotrexate depletes folic acid in the body & prevents the formation of RBCs as a result of which one loses hair.
