you have no idea how you have saved my life...by mentioning the vitamin d deficiency.. ..my vitamin d level was 8...after i started taking the supplements not only my hair health but my overall health in general has improved a lot ...thanks
I take finasteride for almost two years and never see any change in the my hair loss. My vitamin D in octuber was 25,3 ng. All Doctor says in this video make sense. Thank you for sharing your knowledge for free.
6:35 what tests to get : D3, ferritin and serum iron, zinc, and blood type, 16:30 appropriate ferritin level, type O should be above 100, 21:20 iron 10 mg per day
This man is an absolute expert. I had hair down to my mid-back was a vegetarian for 8 years. The moment I cut my hair, it stopped growing. I realized I felt better when I eat meat and started back. But within two years I was bald. Also O
The blood type is the most interesting concept and I have stumbled upon it but when I was 17 but I didn't really take action and get my blood tested. Now that I'm 28, I'm going to get it tested tomorrow and really dig into the subject. Regarding the hair loss, it won't hurt to try to incorporate what you're saying to get better hair results. I can never underestimate how wrong I can be.. Thank you for sharing this information

This is amazing! I wish I knew this 12 years ago when I first started hair thinning at 23. I had people tell me I was going to go bald early. I always had low iron and the doctors would say it's fine and it wasn't too low for infusions. They never suggested supplements even though since 17 I would have dizzy spills and sometimes see stars when I would stand up too quickly. This is such amazing news and I feel I've gained a crazy amount of knowledge and completely understand why I lost half of my hair! Everyone said it was genetic as I look at all of my family members on both sides with crazy amounts of hair into old age. But I always had health issues, gut issues, allergies, thyroid, and tons of blood loss after children. At 28 after my second child my hair feel out in large pieces. I lost hair around all of my head. I see now I had postpardum hair loss with vitamin deficiencies, inflammation, and telegum effluvium. I remember my endocrinologist said get used to hair loss it will eventually all fall out. Very scary to hear at 28. I feel so much more hopeful! Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I have my labs set up this Monday and so excited to start working around the results! I'm also so excited to have this knowledge for my children to keep them in their best health.
This is what I have been through aswell. 13 years thin hair, no doctor helped, after covid, my hair fell out extreme. I never had hair loss before. Only thinner hair, with normal hairfall but not enough new hair growth. After covid hair loss I started to take hair supplements and after one year taking my hair is full like it was in my teens. I am so happy now 🥹
@@Rebecca640 I didn't know that L-lysine helps with hair loss. What form of silica do you take? I was taking food grade Diatomaceous Earth for a few months but decided to stop.
You just gave me so much hooe ❤ i thought it was useless to even try anymore im going to share this with so many people i know experiencing hair loss just like me im truly grateful 🙏 i found u o cant say thank you enough ive spent so much time and money looking for an answer to this problem im so relieved to know i can start with a blood test and find those answers thank you my friend truly
I didn’t eat red meat for 12 years. I always felt sick and tired. I did everything to try and be healthy. Juicing Wheatgrass , supplement junkie. You name it I tried it. Finally i decided to eat for my blood type. O-. I sat down and ate a steak. Suddenly I was like a crazy wild animal, I couldn’t get enough red meat. I ate a steak for breakfast every day for months . My energy went through the roof. My body got shredded. It was wild. Anyway. Just thought I’d share my experience . I am 50 now, have been shedding for years now. It’s so upsetting, trying to eat more meat. I definitely feel better when I do. I fully agree some of us do better as vegans and some do better as meat eaters.
I second the emphasis on blood type diet and ferritin. About five years ago, I was eating a whole foods diet, but I couldn’t figure out why I was feeling so sick and inflamed. After finding out about the blood type diet, it turns out that all of the healthy Whole Foods was eating was on the “do not eat” list for my blood type. Organic Chicken was giving me arthritis and chronic fatigue! So, I stopped eating all of those and switched to all the recommended ones and I got rid of all my inflammation and had really healthy hair. However, over the next few years I got busier and was not eating as great (only about 40g of protein a day), I found out that after a certain point, my hair started suffering & just wouldn’t grow much. I had my ferritin levels checked. I found out I was only at 23! So, I started taking iron through my functional doctor along with vitality C and I was able to bring up my levels to 70. My hair has grown but still might need to be closer to 100 like he says for a true boost.
Dr. Gaunitz, Please...... Kindly, I need the information regarding what kind of diet should the blood type A+ have. Where could I find it? Please guide. Thank you so much for your great videos.
Could you possibly do a podcast on how productive or not are hair oils for hair regrowth? Especially if there is a genetic- dht related type of hair loss. There’s so many conversations on massaging with hair oils to strengthen and even combat thinning/hair loss. Are there any beneficial oils? Especially rosemary infused? What is your take on this? Thank you in advance! Love your podcast.
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: Hi Ruby! Thanks for your suggestion! This video talks a little bit about oils on the scalp: th-cam.com/video/M4Df_KC0jFs/w-d-xo.html
@@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist dear dr i took iron infusion before 11 month i still have extremely hair fall issue and spinal cord paining and legs also what to do
The doctor kept telling me my iron was low along with vitamin D and I ignored it. My doctor told me I wouldn’t survive long given how low my iron is and took iron for a little while. Now I’m back to my iron saturation and ferritin levels being at 4. My vitamin d is at 17! I started looking internally because I’m losing hair in front and on my sides. Also, my hair won’t grow in the middle (crown area) Thank You for this info.
Here in India most of the trichologist don't pay attention to blood work in hair loss. They are not even interested in creating awareness about the nutritions for hairs. When a person go to them they just hand them a minoxidil spray that makes the condition even worse cause the hairs that were already thin falls out which demotivates the person and they stop the treatment. But things they are not aware of are the nutritional factors that are preventing the hairs to grow back. I have seen lots of cases where trichologist suggest them minoxidil and when more hairs fall out they perform costly GFC, PRP session next, basically running their business. I have seen people consuming propecia and getting serious health problems without getting results. Not everything has to be fixed from a genetic perspective in a first place. They just don't want the patient to know about nutrients that are required for healthy hair growth that's where people like you Dr. William come as our saviour for putting light on these sensitive information. Thank You❤
Thank you so much for sharing this thoughtful perspective and for your kind words! ❤️ You’ve highlighted an incredibly important issue in hair loss management-many professionals often jump straight to treatments like minoxidil, PRP, or finasteride without addressing the **underlying nutritional and health factors** that play a massive role in hair health. ### **Why Nutrition and Blood Work Matter in Hair Loss** 1. **Hair is the Barometer of Health**: - Hair is a non-essential tissue, meaning the body prioritizes nutrients for vital organs first. Any deficiencies (like **Vitamin D, B12, iron, or zinc**) often manifest as hair thinning or loss. 2. **Common Nutritional Factors**: - **Iron Deficiency**: Even if within "normal" range, low ferritin (
Thank god I found your video on ferritin! I have been agonizing about my hair for years and could not figure out what was going on! I’m not balding but have extreme shedding, thinning on ends and can’t grow my hair longer than a certain point. After trying everything EXTERNALLY I found your video and for the first time considered it may be something INTERNAL. I checked my ferritin and it was a 4!😱 I have more questions for you…do you do virtual consults? I wait for your videos/podcasts to come out! I’m obsessed w fixing my hair!😩 Would you say beyond the shadow of a doubt that is my issue w a ferritin level of 4?
I would definitely get on a good iron supplement. I used to have a low ferritin level of 21 and my hair was super thin. Getting on a high dose of iron daily should help. It takes a couple months to see improvements. If you haven’t I would also definitely check your thyroid as low thyroid can definitely cause hair loss. Also, I feel like micro needling the scalp once a week really helps. I use a derma stamp at 1.5. Good luck to you!

I've just suffered extreme hair loss Alopecia I think. I've been trying to see a doctor in the VA but no luck. ER, they have no clue. Going on a week now looking for a doctor.. Going through some insane mood swings and depression. What gets me is the VA is always talking about mental health and no one there is even concerned or do they even know of this alopecia. Probably not. Dr. Gaunitz, you are a life saver for me. Ease of mind even if I'm still stressing but at least getting some information. And I've come to the conclusion that my hair loss is due to malnutrition. Definitely not eating enough or right. Can't even get a doctor to review my lab work. Yup, at least I got that. Buy the doctor I was to see only treats women and not men. Next available appointment is next year Jan. Too long I feel and no one understands the urgency in getting seen by a doctor. I think they think I'm talking about general hair loss and not a big event where chunks are coming out. I've started the D3 and Zinc with K2.mag. That and more vegetables and fruits. Praying it works. Thank you so much for your videos.
I’m so sorry to hear about what you’re going through-it sounds incredibly overwhelming. 😔 Sudden, extreme hair loss like this can be emotionally and physically taxing, especially when it feels like you're not getting the support you need. Let’s break this down and see how you can move forward: 🌿 **Possible Causes:** It’s great that you’re considering malnutrition as a potential factor. Hair loss can indeed result from deficiencies in key nutrients like protein, iron, zinc, and vitamins D and B. Stress and emotional strain can also trigger conditions like *telogen effluvium* or *alopecia areata*, which cause sudden hair shedding or patches of baldness. 💊 **Your Current Steps:** Starting vitamin D3, zinc, K2, magnesium, and improving your diet with more fruits and vegetables is an excellent move! These nutrients are essential for hair health and overall wellness. Keep it up while ensuring you're eating enough protein-rich foods (like eggs, fish, or legumes) to support hair regrowth. 🩺 **Next Steps:** While waiting for a doctor’s appointment: - Consider reaching out to a dermatologist or trichologist who specializes in hair loss. Some clinics offer telehealth options if in-person visits are delayed. - If stress is a big factor (understandably so!), practices like mindfulness or therapy could help manage emotional strain while supporting your overall health. - Look into support groups for alopecia-connecting with others who’ve been through this can provide comfort and practical advice. You’re doing everything right by taking action and seeking answers. Stay strong-you’re not alone in this! 💙➡️ Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/ for more personalized guidance!
@@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist Thank you so much for the advice. Still haven't seen a doctor but I've got my appointment with the dermatologist day after Christmas. Still losing hair though, not sure if it is a normal amount since I don't have much left. I do see regrowth but if that is normal I'm not sure on that either.
Hello doctor. I am having tremendous hair loss that I can see my hair sparced at some places and scalp is visible. I lost almost more than half of my hair in 2 years as I had very heavy cycles which later changed to bleeding every single day for one year. I had to finally get hysterectomy (ovaries are intact) and it has been now almost 6 months post surgery. How will I get back my hair?
I’m B negative going to be 65 and I have No gallbladder hair is falling out when I pull my fingers through my hair. Hair is there. I’m getting my blood levels checked Friday. I’m going to call about iron serum test. Thank god I found you.
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: Hi Julia! We're happy to help! Please don't forget to take the hair loss quiz to make sure that you've addressed all the underlying reasons for your hair loss. Here's the link to that quiz: www.advancedtrichology.com/pages/quiz
I am blood type A and have two questions 😊 I am 35 years old I was vegan 2017-2021, but added sea food, fish and eggs into my diet. My question is: is it not possible to get iron from so many vegan sources like: legumes, mushrooms, nuts and seeds, dried fruits, soy products, dark leafy greens, broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts, potatoes 🥔 too? Also I had only 31 vitamin D3 in some point, but taking vitamin D these days. My hair has been falling off for the last 10 years, but not aggressively (male pattern baldness) recently had a hair transplant and waiting for the result also added 1mg finasteride a day and topical minoxidil. If the hair is falling off cos of vitamin D deficiency, then can this hair be regrown if Vitamin D goes to good levels 60 or above? Can I take the natural DHT blocker you recommend along with finasteride? Thank you very much for the lovely videos!! And thank you in advance 🙏🔥
I have terrible hair loss due to pcos!! I cry everyday!!! I had extremely thick waist length south indian hair!! I am not vegetarian!! I started viviscal tablets for women a week ago along with a vitamin d3!! I cant get dht blockers or dht blocking shampoos in my country! The herbal stores people just give me natures way saw palmetto but the bottle says not ideal for women!! I wish i could get your dht blocking supplements and topical treatments!! Here is hoping!!

Iron/ferritin is an interesting point. In previous bloodworks from a year ago and earlier, I haven't been deficient, but regularly lose a lot of blood through heavy quick periods each month. I take iron pills during my menstrual phase, and no other time for fearing of taking too much, but maybe I need to be supplementing more?
Very comprehensive thank you. Problem with zinc, i've read it has to be in the right proportion to copper, or else there can be a problem. Copper can help with greying . Can you add copper to your products that have zinc in them? Can have an anti grey benefit. On MT Sinai hospital there is some info on the ideal copper to zinc ratio ( i think it's 10:1 or 8:1 mange like 10 mg zinc)to 1 mg copper . Thank you for the good information . Also, can too much biotin cause hair loss? Also FDA has been advising people abstain from biotin supplements 3 days before certain blood tests including thyroid levels troponin estrogen levels etc , it can create false high or false lows ... it's on FDA website and also on Quest or Labcorp labs under patient advisement . This can cause a false or missed diagnosis
Forgot to ask, I'm a female who takes saw palmetto, but I find that it exacerbates my dry eye syndrome why is this? I was told my testosterone is quite low. Hope you can help. My hair loss is at the temples. I had to have B Complex and D injections as well as zinc supplements, as I was deficient in all of these.
Ah, I see how frustrating this must be for you! Let’s unpack this and connect the dots. 💡 1. **Saw Palmetto & Dry Eye Syndrome** Saw palmetto works by inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, which reduces the conversion of testosterone into DHT (a key player in hair loss). However, this can potentially lower androgen levels even further, which may worsen dry eyes. Androgens play a role in tear production, so when their activity decreases, it might aggravate dryness. 🥴 2. **Low Testosterone & Hair Loss** Low testosterone, coupled with deficiencies in key nutrients like Vitamin D, B Complex, and Zinc, can exacerbate hair thinning, particularly at the temples. These nutrients are essential for hair follicle health and function, so it’s great you’re addressing the deficiencies. 🙌 3. **Hair Loss at Temples** Temple hair loss (frontal fibrosing alopecia or androgenetic alopecia) can sometimes respond to anti-DHT treatments, but in your case, the underlying hormonal imbalance and deficiencies likely need to be addressed first for better results. Saw palmetto might not be ideal if it's affecting your tear production. **What You Can Do:** - ✅ Check with your doctor about alternative hair loss treatments, like topical anti-DHT solutions, which won't impact systemic androgen levels. - ✅ Keep focusing on balancing your nutrient levels, as they play a huge role in hair recovery. Zinc, Vitamin D, and B Complex are key! - ✅ For dry eye syndrome, ask about lubricating drops or omega-3 fatty acid supplements, which can help support tear production. Don’t give up-you’re taking the right steps, and there are always more options to explore! 💪 ➡️Reach out to us at [www.advancedtrichology.com/](www.advancedtrichology.com/).
I am loosing hair from all over my scalp (hair thinning) due to itching and my vitamin d3 came out to be 8 ng/ml last month. I have started to take 60000iu supplement once a week. How much time does it take to recover from this and start growing hair.

Which nutritional deficiency results in brittle, breaking hair in addition to hair fall? I am one of those people who have been doing everything for a year with no positive results - minoxidi both topical and oral, PRP, collagen, red light device, coconut and castor oil before washing, pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto, etc. My ferritin level is 302, way over the range due to an iron drip in 2023. I have had gut issues for almost 8 years (SIBO). will get tested for D3 and zinc. On supplements for both. Blood type A- who sticks to fish and fowl.
Given your detailed journey and struggles with hair health, despite a comprehensive approach including various treatments and supplements, it's clear that addressing nutritional deficiencies is crucial for improving hair quality. Brittle, breaking hair, alongside hair fall, can often be attributed to deficiencies in essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, vitamin D, and specific B vitamins like biotin. Your approach has been thorough, covering a wide range of treatments and supplements. However, considering your ferritin level is significantly high due to an iron drip, it's important to balance iron levels to avoid potential negative effects of iron overload. High ferritin levels can also indicate inflammation or other health issues, so it's wise to consult a healthcare provider to interpret these levels correctly, especially in the context of gut health issues like SIBO you mentioned. Testing for vitamin D and zinc is a step in the right direction, as deficiencies in these nutrients can significantly impact hair health. Vitamin D plays a role in the hair cycle, particularly in the creation of new hair follicles, while zinc is crucial for hair tissue growth and repair. Given your blood type and dietary preferences, ensuring a balanced intake of nutrients is vital. For individuals with blood type A-, focusing on high-quality fish, poultry, and incorporating plant-based sources rich in the nutrients you might be deficient in is beneficial. However, individual needs can vary, so it's important to tailor your diet and supplementation to your specific health profile, considering your gut health and nutrient absorption capabilities. Addressing gut health is also paramount, as gut issues can severely impact nutrient absorption and overall health, potentially exacerbating hair health problems. A focus on healing the gut, possibly with the help of a healthcare professional knowledgeable in gut health and nutrition, could improve nutrient absorption and, consequently, hair health. For personalized advice and a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, including addressing nutritional deficiencies and gut health, consulting with a trichologist or a healthcare provider specializing in dermatology and nutrition is highly recommended. They can offer insights into your specific situation, taking into account your comprehensive health history, current treatments, and dietary preferences.

Hi I will give this a try here. Im in my mid 30s, male, and Ive had dreads for the last 12 years that grew to a total weight of 600gramms. Ive always had scales and a pulling sensation on my scalp, until I realised that they shifted around the crown - so I cut them off 6 months ago. And yet the scalp pain remains. There are no visible signs of an inflamation but my scalp reacts to local medication - "ICHTHYOL", but whenever I wash out the product, the pain returns. Ive had mrt's from my head and all, but: How do I stop the pain that turns into headache? Is it the aftermath to my heavy dreads? Is it reversable? My scalp got visible through my - now short not growing hair - and nor mother or father had this. Ive had gut issues for the last year+, though I eat lots of greens, I work out on daily bases and im on Supplements
If I’m losing hair due to oral retinoid use (isotretinoin 20mg once a week), can optimizing vitamin d, ferritin, iron etc help or is my only option, stop the med?
Hi. I did the test and in the package there is Ferritin and other iron supplement. Is it ok to use together? Also, is it ok to use liquid vitamin D if you already take it on the multi vitamin? I experience hair loss after few corses of antibiotics and also at the same time went from 2hormone birth control to just progestin. My nutrition is same but hair is folling out. What are my options?Thanks.
Im taking birth control pill, do you know whether the pill completely blocks the absorption of vitamins and minerals or whether you just have a higher need? I always take them 2 hours apart from nutritional supplements. And in the 7 day break week, is the absorption of vitamins and minerals back to normal or is the liver still too busy breaking down the hormones and therefore cannot store the vitamins?
### **Selenium for Hair Health** Selenium plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy scalp and promoting hair growth. Here’s how it helps: - **Antioxidant Properties**: Selenium helps reduce oxidative stress, which can contribute to hair loss. - **Supports Thyroid Function**: Thyroid health is closely linked to hair growth, and selenium is essential for proper thyroid hormone production. - **Anti-Dandruff Effects**: It has antifungal properties that can reduce dandruff, often associated with scalp inflammation and hair loss. **Recommended Dosage**: - The typical daily dose for hair health is **55 mcg for adults**. However, avoid taking more than **200 mcg per day**, as excess selenium can be toxic. Foods rich in selenium include Brazil nuts, eggs, seafood, and sunflower seeds. You can also use supplements if dietary intake isn’t sufficient. --- ### **Where to Get the Book?** The book *Eat Right 4 Your Type* by Dr. Peter D’Adamo, which provides detailed dietary recommendations based on blood type, is widely available: 1. **Online Stores**: Check Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or other major booksellers. 2. **Local Bookstores**: Many carry this popular title. 3. **Dr. D’Adamo’s Website**: Visit [4YourType.com](www.4yourtype.com) for direct access to books and resources. --- You're on the right track!

what can i do to help my gut problems at home? i had gut problems for the last 2yrs and my hairloss also started then as well so after watching this video im convinced that the two are related. i got on to probiotics, antibiotics and even got my blood tested for any infections but the physician found nothing. my gut has been better this year but it's still not 100%. that means i most likely not absorbing the nutrients from food correctly or enough. what is a diy that i can implement at home to help my situation?
Antibiotics is the problem. Destroys good gut bacteria. Dr Berg had a new video on TH-cam. It's titled ..They lied...... It's bout a microbe that the population is deficient in because antibiotics has destroyed it and once destroyed it does not come back unless you replace it if possible. Anyway, the microbiome very diverse and this is why everyone responds differently to drugs, food , and supplements. Not counting our overall health. It's a thirty minute video. He interviews a researcher. Very good. My hair fell out due to anesthesia which is a huge antibiotic. Thanks corrupt medical Drs and big pharma. Jerks Good luck.
My ferritin is 10L but my iron is 77 which is normal. if I buy ferritin, how much should I take and how many milligrams or whatever they come in? My hair is falling.
Same here. My hair is healthiest and longest it’s ever been (I’ve had telogenic effluvium loss three times!) but I eat hamburger twice a week…when I cut meat and milk, I got ulcerative colitis and that’s when the hair loss started.
I’m A - blood type and eating mostly vegetarian with whole grains makes me tired. If I don’t eat red meat regularly I get fatigued and start bruising so I’m not sold on this blood type diet.
I m blood type A+ i was vegetarian for years, my health started to go down. I went carnivore I feel like a bull. But still dealing with seborric dermatitis.
I’m extremely high in iron , what’s ur take on someone that’s high on iron and low on vitamin D… I’m working on reducing my iron levels and raising my vitamin d3 along w zinc. Hopfully this will improve my health and hair . My vitamin d level is 19 and my iron is 186. Vitamin D is extremely LOW and my iron is super duper High. Unusual vc women are usually low yet here I am high, and I’m starting to think that’s another reason why I lost a lot of my hair along w lack of d and zinc.
Any recommendations with hairloss from sebopsoriasis......my hair has never returned to normal..suffered from it for 4 years...heavy hairloss for 2 years:(
Depends on the situation but 10,000 units per day is often the most that is recommended. But that is only after a blood test when your levels are below 30ng/mL
How do you know what the cause of hair loss is ? I’m 51 and lost all the hair on my legs and armpits. My facial hair is now thin. Hair loss doesn’t run in the family. I know my free testosterone is very low , sex binding hormone super high, low red blood cell count . Please I need a direction
You've given the ferritin levels required (for zero blood types) but you did not tell me the serum iron levels that we should be looking for. You said somewhere in the middle. In middle of the range that is recommended by the doctors? Please elaborate
Since i came from kenya to gulf country to work(qatar) ave been losing hair while no family history on hair loss thogh here most we leave inside without going outside due to hot sun and job condition. Help me i dont know why am losing hair so sad😢😢
Hello, I went to your website, because I wanted to purchase suplements, but there's no way to ship to Spain, I would do whatever to get them. Thank you
Dr.....my 25 yr old son ( high stress Univ student) did his Ferritin blood labs which are @ 159ug/L which I believe is an on- par conversion to ng/ml......with little chance of genetic hair loss....but he's on computer for 18 hrs day..... So going to get his D-3 tested... You said the D3 should be between 60 and 80 nanograms per ml correct? But what do the iron serum levels need to be at??
It’s indeed possible to have a situation where your ferritin levels are within the normal range, but your serum iron is low. Let me explain how this can happen: Understanding Ferritin and Serum Iron: Ferritin: This is a protein that stores iron in your body and releases it when needed. It’s often used as a marker of your body’s iron stores. Serum Iron: This measures the amount of iron that is currently circulating in your blood, available for immediate use, such as in the production of hemoglobin. Possible Reasons for the Discrepancy: Inflammation or Infection: Ferritin as an Acute-Phase Reactant: Ferritin levels can increase in response to inflammation or infection, as it is an acute-phase reactant. This means that your ferritin might appear normal or even elevated despite your body’s usable iron (serum iron) being low. Essentially, your body may be "hiding" the iron in storage (ferritin) to prevent pathogens from using it, a mechanism known as the “anemia of chronic disease.” Iron Distribution Issues: Impaired Iron Mobilization: Sometimes, your body may have adequate iron stores, but the process of mobilizing this iron from storage (ferritin) to where it’s needed (like in your blood) is impaired. This can happen in conditions like chronic inflammation, liver disease, or certain chronic illnesses. Early Iron Deficiency: Stages of Iron Deficiency: In the early stages of iron deficiency, serum iron levels may drop before ferritin levels begin to fall. This could indicate that your body is starting to use up its iron stores, but they haven't been depleted yet. Iron Utilization Problems: Anemia of Chronic Disease: In conditions such as chronic kidney disease or chronic inflammatory conditions, the body may have difficulty utilizing iron efficiently. This leads to low serum iron despite normal or high ferritin levels. What to Do Next: Further Testing: To better understand the situation, additional tests might be needed, such as a total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) or transferrin saturation. These can provide more insight into how well your body is transporting and utilizing iron. Consultation with a Specialist: It might be helpful to consult with a hematologist or your primary care physician to investigate the underlying cause, especially if there are symptoms like fatigue, weakness, or unexplained hair loss. Addressing the underlying issue, whether it’s inflammation, an absorption problem, or another condition, is key to restoring proper iron balance in your body. ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
Hi Dr, around 2 years ago i went through extreme diet where i kinda starve myself and at the same time i was using hair straightener and was even, then a moth after that i started to lose hair alot until now, when i did my blood test 2 months ago it showed 27.1 ng/l and this month it showed 54.3 ng/l, what am i should be concerned with? what type of hairloss im having?
If I’m taking an iron supplement that is18 milligrams per capsule and it says to take 1 per day do you recommend I take 2 per day instead since I’m a menstruating female? My ferritin level is at 16.
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: Yes, take 4 pills per day for 3 months then retest or discontinue if unable to retest. We recommend our high absorption Derma iron with low risk of constipation: www.advancedtrichology.com/collections/nutritional-hair-loss-products/products/foligrowth-ultra-hair-growth-vitamin-with-high-potency-biotin-folic-acid-and-26-herbs-and-vitamins
Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy hair, skin, and nails. Whether you need it in a supplement depends on several factors: Importance of Biotin: Hair Health: Biotin supports keratin production, which is essential for strong and healthy hair. Skin and Nails: It helps maintain healthy skin and nails, preventing brittleness and improving overall texture. Metabolism: Biotin is vital for the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, contributing to overall energy production. Do You Need a Supplement? Dietary Intake: If your diet includes biotin-rich foods such as eggs, nuts, seeds, salmon, avocados, and dairy products, you might not need a supplement. Most people get enough biotin from their diet. Deficiency: Biotin deficiency is rare but can lead to symptoms like thinning hair, brittle nails, skin rashes, and fatigue. If you suspect a deficiency, a healthcare professional can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend supplements if needed. Health Conditions: Certain conditions, like pregnancy, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or gastrointestinal disorders, can increase the need for biotin. Hair Loss Treatments: If you are experiencing hair loss and have tried other treatments without success, biotin supplements might help improve hair health, though results can vary. Conclusion Biotin is important for hair, skin, and nail health, but not everyone needs a supplement. Assess your dietary intake and consult with a healthcare professional to determine if a biotin supplement is necessary for you. ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
Hello doctor Im loosing hair from the age of around 18 and im going to be 30..i did a hair transplant but now its thinning..my hair from the age of 18 has been thinning overall my head and also my donor area was thin as per the doc during my transplant..really seeking for your help..
I'm sorry to hear about your ongoing hair loss issues. Hair loss can be distressing, especially when it persists over many years. Given your history and the thinning even in the donor area, it’s important to consider a comprehensive approach: Medical Evaluation: It's crucial to get a detailed evaluation from a trichologist or dermatologist. They can assess your scalp and hair health thoroughly and might recommend blood tests to check for underlying conditions like hormonal imbalances or nutritional deficiencies. Genetic Factors: Since your hair has been thinning since age 18, androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) could be a significant factor. This condition is hereditary and progresses over time. Post-Transplant Care: Hair transplants can be affected by the health of the surrounding hair. Ensure you're following post-transplant care instructions meticulously and consider treatments to strengthen the transplanted and existing hair. Hair Growth Treatments: Options like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly recommended for androgenetic alopecia. These treatments can help slow down hair loss and, in some cases, promote regrowth. Lifestyle and Nutrition: A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals is essential. Supplements like biotin, zinc, and iron can support hair health. Also, reducing stress through regular exercise, adequate sleep, and mindfulness practices can positively impact hair health. Advanced Treatments: Consider advanced treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, low-level laser therapy, or microneedling, which have shown promise in promoting hair growth and improving hair thickness. Regular Follow-Ups: Consistent monitoring and follow-ups with your healthcare provider are essential to track the progress and make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. Scalp Care: Maintain good scalp hygiene and use products that are gentle and suitable for your hair type to avoid further damage. ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/

Ferritin and low iodine -causes hair loss Amd what about IRON overload from injectafer Ivs ? My ferritin is so high from 3 ivs It was 2500 407, 307 now 349’ I can’t eat meat w/out my ferritin elevating . I need protein . Hair loss began 3 months after ivs Arguing w hematologist to donate blood I am 105 lbs and he have me enough iron for a 300 lb person
Transferrin saturation is a measure of the amount of iron that is bound to transferrin, a protein that transports iron in the blood. The normal range for transferrin saturation is typically around 20% to 50%. A level of 17% is slightly below the lower end of the normal range. Low transferrin saturation may indicate a decreased amount of iron in the blood or a reduced ability to bind iron to transferrin. It's important to note that interpreting these results should be done in the context of your overall health, medical history, and other iron-related markers. If you're concerned about your transferrin saturation levels, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare professional. 🔴Melissa ( Customer Service Support) ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/

The blood type is the most interesting concept and I have stumbled upon it but when I was 17 but I didn't really take action and get my blood tested. Now that I'm 28, I'm going to get it tested tomorrow and really dig into the subject. Regarding the hair loss, it won't hurt to try to incorporate what you're saying to get better hair results. I can never underestimate how wrong I can be..

This is amazing! I wish I knew this 12 years ago when I first started hair thinning at 23. I had people tell me I was going to go bald early. I always had low iron and the doctors would say it's fine and it wasn't too low for infusions. They never suggested supplements even though since 17 I would have dizzy spills and sometimes see stars when I would stand up too quickly. This is such amazing news and I feel I've gained a crazy amount of knowledge and completely understand why I lost half of my hair! Everyone said it was genetic as I look at all of my family members on both sides with crazy amounts of hair into old age. But I always had health issues, gut issues, allergies, thyroid, and tons of blood loss after children. At 28 after my second child my hair feel out in large pieces. I lost hair around all of my head. I see now I had postpardum hair loss with vitamin deficiencies, inflammation, and telegum effluvium. I remember my endocrinologist said get used to hair loss it will eventually all fall out. Very scary to hear at 28. I feel so much more hopeful! Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I have my labs set up this Monday and so excited to start working around the results! I'm also so excited to have this knowledge for my children to keep them in their best health.
I had this same issue. I use to laugh so hard that I would faint smh.
This is what I have been through aswell. 13 years thin hair, no doctor helped, after covid, my hair fell out extreme. I never had hair loss before. Only thinner hair, with normal hairfall but not enough new hair growth. After covid hair loss I started to take hair supplements and after one year taking my hair is full like it was in my teens. I am so happy now 🥹

I didn’t eat red meat for 12 years. I always felt sick and tired. I did everything to try and be healthy. Juicing Wheatgrass , supplement junkie. You name it I tried it.
Finally i decided to eat for my blood type.
O-.
I sat down and ate a steak. Suddenly I was like a crazy wild animal, I couldn’t get enough red meat. I ate a steak for breakfast every day for months . My energy went through the roof. My body got shredded. It was wild.
Anyway. Just thought I’d share my experience . I am 50 now, have been shedding for years now. It’s so upsetting, trying to eat more meat. I definitely feel better when I do. I fully agree some of us do better as vegans and some do better as meat eaters.
WOW that's awesome!!
What kind of steak did you usually have?
I second the emphasis on blood type diet and ferritin. About five years ago, I was eating a whole foods diet, but I couldn’t figure out why I was feeling so sick and inflamed. After finding out about the blood type diet, it turns out that all of the healthy Whole Foods was eating was on the “do not eat” list for my blood type. Organic Chicken was giving me arthritis and chronic fatigue! So, I stopped eating all of those and switched to all the recommended ones and I got rid of all my inflammation and had really healthy hair. However, over the next few years I got busier and was not eating as great (only about 40g of protein a day), I found out that after a certain point, my hair started suffering & just wouldn’t grow much. I had my ferritin levels checked. I found out I was only at 23! So, I started taking iron through my functional doctor along with vitality C and I was able to bring up my levels to 70. My hair has grown but still might need to be closer to 100 like he says for a true boost.
How do you find out your blood type
So cute

Could you possibly do a podcast on how productive or not are hair oils for hair regrowth? Especially if there is a genetic- dht related type of hair loss.

The doctor kept telling me my iron was low along with vitamin D and I ignored it. My doctor told me I wouldn’t survive long given how low my iron is and took iron for a little while. Now I’m back to my iron saturation and ferritin levels being at 4. My vitamin d is at 17! I started looking internally because I’m losing hair in front and on my sides. Also, my hair won’t grow in the middle (crown area) Thank You for this info.
Survive? Wow
Fantastic, thank you Dr!
A video on co-relation of eczema and hairloss would be great.
Great podcast as usual William, thanks!!
Here in India most of the trichologist don't pay attention to blood work in hair loss. They are not even interested in creating awareness about the nutritions for hairs. When a person go to them they just hand them a minoxidil spray that makes the condition even worse cause the hairs that were already thin falls out which demotivates the person and they stop the treatment. But things they are not aware of are the nutritional factors that are preventing the hairs to grow back. I have seen lots of cases where trichologist suggest them minoxidil and when more hairs fall out they perform costly GFC, PRP session next, basically running their business. I have seen people consuming propecia and getting serious health problems without getting results. Not everything has to be fixed from a genetic perspective in a first place. They just don't want the patient to know about nutrients that are required for healthy hair growth that's where people like you Dr. William come as our saviour for putting light on these sensitive information. Thank You❤
Thank you so much for sharing this thoughtful perspective and for your kind words! ❤️ You’ve highlighted an incredibly important issue in hair loss management-many professionals often jump straight to treatments like minoxidil, PRP, or finasteride without addressing the **underlying nutritional and health factors** that play a massive role in hair health.
### **Why Nutrition and Blood Work Matter in Hair Loss**
1. **Hair is the Barometer of Health**:
- Hair is a non-essential tissue, meaning the body prioritizes nutrients for vital organs first. Any deficiencies (like **Vitamin D, B12, iron, or zinc**) often manifest as hair thinning or loss.
2. **Common Nutritional Factors**:
- **Iron Deficiency**: Even if within "normal" range, low ferritin (
Thank god I found your video on ferritin! I have been agonizing about my hair for years and could not figure out what was going on! I’m not balding but have extreme shedding, thinning on ends and can’t grow my hair longer than a certain point. After trying everything EXTERNALLY I found your video and for the first time considered it may be something INTERNAL. I checked my ferritin and it was a 4!😱 I have more questions for you…do you do virtual consults? I wait for your videos/podcasts to come out! I’m obsessed w fixing my hair!😩 Would you say beyond the shadow of a doubt that is my issue w a ferritin level of 4?
I would definitely get on a good iron supplement. I used to have a low ferritin level of 21 and my hair was super thin. Getting on a high dose of iron daily should help. It takes a couple months to see improvements. If you haven’t I would also definitely check your thyroid as low thyroid can definitely cause hair loss. Also, I feel like micro needling the scalp once a week really helps. I use a derma stamp at 1.5. Good luck to you!

How do we know our ferritin level?
Hello doc. Can you please do a detail video on diets for different blood types?
I've just suffered extreme hair loss Alopecia I think. I've been trying to see a doctor in the VA but no luck. ER, they have no clue. Going on a week now looking for a doctor.. Going through some insane mood swings and depression. What gets me is the VA is always talking about mental health and no one there is even concerned or do they even know of this alopecia. Probably not. Dr. Gaunitz, you are a life saver for me. Ease of mind even if I'm still stressing but at least getting some information. And I've come to the conclusion that my hair loss is due to malnutrition. Definitely not eating enough or right. Can't even get a doctor to review my lab work. Yup, at least I got that. Buy the doctor I was to see only treats women and not men. Next available appointment is next year Jan. Too long I feel and no one understands the urgency in getting seen by a doctor. I think they think I'm talking about general hair loss and not a big event where chunks are coming out. I've started the D3 and Zinc with K2.mag. That and more vegetables and fruits. Praying it works. Thank you so much for your videos.
I’m so sorry to hear about what you’re going through-it sounds incredibly overwhelming. 😔 Sudden, extreme hair loss like this can be emotionally and physically taxing, especially when it feels like you're not getting the support you need. Let’s break this down and see how you can move forward:
🌿 **Possible Causes:** It’s great that you’re considering malnutrition as a potential factor. Hair loss can indeed result from deficiencies in key nutrients like protein, iron, zinc, and vitamins D and B. Stress and emotional strain can also trigger conditions like *telogen effluvium* or *alopecia areata*, which cause sudden hair shedding or patches of baldness.
💊 **Your Current Steps:** Starting vitamin D3, zinc, K2, magnesium, and improving your diet with more fruits and vegetables is an excellent move! These nutrients are essential for hair health and overall wellness. Keep it up while ensuring you're eating enough protein-rich foods (like eggs, fish, or legumes) to support hair regrowth.
🩺 **Next Steps:** While waiting for a doctor’s appointment:
- Consider reaching out to a dermatologist or trichologist who specializes in hair loss. Some clinics offer telehealth options if in-person visits are delayed.
- If stress is a big factor (understandably so!), practices like mindfulness or therapy could help manage emotional strain while supporting your overall health.
- Look into support groups for alopecia-connecting with others who’ve been through this can provide comfort and practical advice.

I am blood type A and have two questions 😊
I am 35 years old
I was vegan 2017-2021, but added sea food, fish and eggs into my diet.
My question is: is it not possible to get iron from so many vegan sources like: legumes, mushrooms, nuts and seeds, dried fruits, soy products, dark leafy greens, broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts, potatoes 🥔 too?
Also I had only 31 vitamin D3 in some point, but taking vitamin D these days. My hair has been falling off for the last 10 years, but not aggressively (male pattern baldness) recently had a hair transplant and waiting for the result also added 1mg finasteride a day and topical minoxidil.
If the hair is falling off cos of vitamin D deficiency, then can this hair be regrown if Vitamin D goes to good levels 60 or above?
Can I take the natural DHT blocker you recommend along with finasteride?

How much protein do we need to consume per day for healthy hair? Do you have a video on protein?
Thank u Dr ❤
Iron/ferritin is an interesting point. In previous bloodworks from a year ago and earlier, I haven't been deficient, but regularly lose a lot of blood through heavy quick periods each month. I take iron pills during my menstrual phase, and no other time for fearing of taking too much, but maybe I need to be supplementing more?
I wonder how thyroid affects this. If the other blood levels are addressed, could there still be a thyroid issue.
What is really important aswell: vitamin b12, folat and iodine
Thank you soooo much for this information
Can you do a video on traction alopecia
Very comprehensive thank you. Problem with zinc, i've read it has to be in the right proportion to copper, or else there can be a problem. Copper can help with greying . Can you add copper to your products that have zinc in them? Can have an anti grey benefit. On MT Sinai hospital there is some info on the ideal copper to zinc ratio ( i think it's 10:1 or 8:1 mange like 10 mg zinc)to 1 mg copper . Thank you for the good information .
Also, can too much biotin cause hair loss? Also FDA has been advising people abstain from biotin supplements 3 days before certain blood tests including thyroid levels troponin estrogen levels etc , it can create false high or false lows ... it's on FDA website and also on Quest or Labcorp labs under patient advisement . This can cause a false or missed diagnosis
Forgot to ask, I'm a female who takes saw palmetto, but I find that it exacerbates my dry eye syndrome why is this? I was told my testosterone is quite low. Hope you can help. My hair loss is at the temples. I had to have B Complex and D injections as well as zinc supplements, as I was deficient in all of these.
Ah, I see how frustrating this must be for you! Let’s unpack this and connect the dots. 💡
1. **Saw Palmetto & Dry Eye Syndrome**
Saw palmetto works by inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase, which reduces the conversion of testosterone into DHT (a key player in hair loss). However, this can potentially lower androgen levels even further, which may worsen dry eyes. Androgens play a role in tear production, so when their activity decreases, it might aggravate dryness. 🥴
2. **Low Testosterone & Hair Loss**
Low testosterone, coupled with deficiencies in key nutrients like Vitamin D, B Complex, and Zinc, can exacerbate hair thinning, particularly at the temples. These nutrients are essential for hair follicle health and function, so it’s great you’re addressing the deficiencies. 🙌
3. **Hair Loss at Temples**
Temple hair loss (frontal fibrosing alopecia or androgenetic alopecia) can sometimes respond to anti-DHT treatments, but in your case, the underlying hormonal imbalance and deficiencies likely need to be addressed first for better results. Saw palmetto might not be ideal if it's affecting your tear production.
**What You Can Do:**
- ✅ Check with your doctor about alternative hair loss treatments, like topical anti-DHT solutions, which won't impact systemic androgen levels.
- ✅ Keep focusing on balancing your nutrient levels, as they play a huge role in hair recovery. Zinc, Vitamin D, and B Complex are key!
- ✅ For dry eye syndrome, ask about lubricating drops or omega-3 fatty acid supplements, which can help support tear production.

Which nutritional deficiency results in brittle, breaking hair in addition to hair fall? I am one of those people who have been doing everything for a year with no positive results - minoxidi both topical and oral, PRP, collagen, red light device, coconut and castor oil before washing, pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto, etc. My ferritin level is 302, way over the range due to an iron drip in 2023. I have had gut issues for almost 8 years (SIBO). will get tested for D3 and zinc. On supplements for both. Blood type A- who sticks to fish and fowl.
Given your detailed journey and struggles with hair health, despite a comprehensive approach including various treatments and supplements, it's clear that addressing nutritional deficiencies is crucial for improving hair quality. Brittle, breaking hair, alongside hair fall, can often be attributed to deficiencies in essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, vitamin D, and specific B vitamins like biotin.
Your approach has been thorough, covering a wide range of treatments and supplements. However, considering your ferritin level is significantly high due to an iron drip, it's important to balance iron levels to avoid potential negative effects of iron overload. High ferritin levels can also indicate inflammation or other health issues, so it's wise to consult a healthcare provider to interpret these levels correctly, especially in the context of gut health issues like SIBO you mentioned.
Testing for vitamin D and zinc is a step in the right direction, as deficiencies in these nutrients can significantly impact hair health. Vitamin D plays a role in the hair cycle, particularly in the creation of new hair follicles, while zinc is crucial for hair tissue growth and repair.
Given your blood type and dietary preferences, ensuring a balanced intake of nutrients is vital. For individuals with blood type A-, focusing on high-quality fish, poultry, and incorporating plant-based sources rich in the nutrients you might be deficient in is beneficial. However, individual needs can vary, so it's important to tailor your diet and supplementation to your specific health profile, considering your gut health and nutrient absorption capabilities.
Addressing gut health is also paramount, as gut issues can severely impact nutrient absorption and overall health, potentially exacerbating hair health problems. A focus on healing the gut, possibly with the help of a healthcare professional knowledgeable in gut health and nutrition, could improve nutrient absorption and, consequently, hair health.
For personalized advice and a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, including addressing nutritional deficiencies and gut health, consulting with a trichologist or a healthcare provider specializing in dermatology and nutrition is highly recommended. They can offer insights into your specific situation, taking into account your comprehensive health history, current treatments, and dietary preferences.

18:50 a blood type diet
Thank you for this excellent video !
Hi I will give this a try here. Im in my mid 30s, male, and Ive had dreads for the last 12 years that grew to a total weight of 600gramms. Ive always had scales and a pulling sensation on my scalp, until I realised that they shifted around the crown - so I cut them off 6 months ago. And yet the scalp pain remains. There are no visible signs of an inflamation but my scalp reacts to local medication - "ICHTHYOL", but whenever I wash out the product, the pain returns. Ive had mrt's from my head and all, but: How do I stop the pain that turns into headache? Is it the aftermath to my heavy dreads? Is it reversable?
My scalp got visible through my - now short not growing hair - and nor mother or father had this.
Ive had gut issues for the last year+, though I eat lots of greens, I work out on daily bases and im on Supplements
If I’m losing hair due to oral retinoid use (isotretinoin 20mg once a week), can optimizing vitamin d, ferritin, iron etc help or is my only option, stop the med?
Your iron supplements are not available anymore?
My ferritin level is 10. Now I know why my hair is not getting fuller.
Wow
Hi. I did the test and in the package there is Ferritin and other iron supplement. Is it ok to use together? Also, is it ok to use liquid vitamin D if you already take it on the multi vitamin? I experience hair loss after few corses of antibiotics and also at the same time went from 2hormone birth control to just progestin. My nutrition is same but hair is folling out. What are my options?Thanks.
Very informative thank you. How long should I be off vitamins before getting the blood test?
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ Thanks for your feedback, Daniel! At least 1-2 days would be ideal
Thank you for Good information
Im taking birth control pill, do you know whether the pill completely blocks the absorption of vitamins and minerals or whether you just have a higher need? I always take them 2 hours apart from nutritional supplements.
And in the 7 day break week, is the absorption of vitamins and minerals back to normal or is the liver still too busy breaking down the hormones and therefore cannot store the vitamins?
I have been taking vitamin D so what will be the reason ?
What about Selenium? And where do I get the book? Thank you 🙏
### **Selenium for Hair Health**
Selenium plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy scalp and promoting hair growth. Here’s how it helps:
- **Antioxidant Properties**: Selenium helps reduce oxidative stress, which can contribute to hair loss.
- **Supports Thyroid Function**: Thyroid health is closely linked to hair growth, and selenium is essential for proper thyroid hormone production.
- **Anti-Dandruff Effects**: It has antifungal properties that can reduce dandruff, often associated with scalp inflammation and hair loss.
**Recommended Dosage**:
- The typical daily dose for hair health is **55 mcg for adults**. However, avoid taking more than **200 mcg per day**, as excess selenium can be toxic.
Foods rich in selenium include Brazil nuts, eggs, seafood, and sunflower seeds. You can also use supplements if dietary intake isn’t sufficient.

what can i do to help my gut problems at home?
i had gut problems for the last 2yrs and my hairloss also started then as well so after watching this video im convinced that the two are related.
i got on to probiotics, antibiotics and even got my blood tested for any infections but the physician found nothing. my gut has been better this year but it's still not 100%. that means i most likely not absorbing the nutrients from food correctly or enough. what is a diy that i can implement at home to help my situation?
Antibiotics is the problem. Destroys good gut bacteria. Dr Berg had a new video on TH-cam.
It's titled ..They lied......
It's bout a microbe that the population is deficient in because antibiotics has destroyed it and once destroyed it does not come back unless you replace it if possible. Anyway, the microbiome very diverse and this is why everyone responds differently to drugs, food , and supplements. Not counting our overall health. It's a thirty minute video. He interviews a researcher. Very good.
My hair fell out due to anesthesia which is a huge antibiotic. Thanks corrupt medical Drs and big pharma. Jerks
Good luck.
My ferritin is 10L but my iron is 77 which is normal. if I buy ferritin, how much should I take and how many milligrams or whatever they come in? My hair is falling.
What makes the Paleo diet bad for hair loss? I'm A+ but felt terrible as a vegan, I feel much better with more red meat and less vegetables?
Same here. My hair is healthiest and longest it’s ever been (I’ve had telogenic effluvium loss three times!) but I eat hamburger twice a week…when I cut meat and milk, I got ulcerative colitis and that’s when the hair loss started.
How do you know if you're negative or positive type?
@@sl4983 I have a card that has my blood type on it... A+
@@sl4983Your blood type is either RH + or RH - . You will find out if you are A+ , or A- when you ask specifically on a blood type.
Me too!
What is the natural anti fungal that is in your DHT Blocker?
Grapefruit seed extract
I’m A - blood type and eating mostly vegetarian with whole grains makes me tired. If I don’t eat red meat regularly I get fatigued and start bruising so I’m not sold on this blood type diet.
I m blood type A+ i was vegetarian for years, my health started to go down. I went carnivore I feel like a bull. But still dealing with seborric dermatitis.
I’m extremely high in iron , what’s ur take on someone that’s high on iron and low on vitamin D… I’m working on reducing my iron levels and raising my vitamin d3 along w zinc. Hopfully this will improve my health and hair . My vitamin d level is 19 and my iron is 186. Vitamin D is extremely LOW and my iron is super duper High. Unusual vc women are usually low yet here I am high, and I’m starting to think that’s another reason why I lost a lot of my hair along w lack of d and zinc.
Very educational
Have you had any experience with ScapMed?
This is amazing information
Any recommendations with hairloss from sebopsoriasis......my hair has never returned to normal..suffered from it for 4 years...heavy hairloss for 2 years:(
How much D3 is safe to take ??
Depends on the situation but 10,000 units per day is often the most that is recommended. But that is only after a blood test when your levels are below 30ng/mL
My vitamin D is super high..is that okay? Fir hair growth? I'm hypothyroid and have had hair thinning for years. I'm O positive
What blood test should I request my doctor
How do you know what the cause of hair loss is ? I’m 51 and lost all the hair on my legs and armpits. My facial hair is now thin. Hair loss doesn’t run in the family. I know my free testosterone is very low , sex binding hormone super high, low red blood cell count .
Please I need a direction
You've given the ferritin levels required (for zero blood types) but you did not tell me the serum iron levels that we should be looking for. You said somewhere in the middle. In middle of the range that is recommended by the doctors? Please elaborate
how does Hahimoto' s disease with anti-TPO high affect Hair loss?? Thank you
Since i came from kenya to gulf country to work(qatar) ave been losing hair while no family history on hair loss thogh here most we leave inside without going outside due to hot sun and job condition. Help me i dont know why am losing hair so sad😢😢

How much zinc is needed for hair ???
Just got test, my d3 level is 7 😂
How much iou should I be taking ?
Hi William, new to you channel, and loving it! 😊
Me too!
What about oxcarbazepine meds for my 25 yr old who has grand mal seizures otherwise.
Dr.....my 25 yr old son ( high stress Univ student) did his Ferritin blood labs which are @ 159ug/L which I believe is an on- par conversion to ng/ml......with little chance of genetic hair loss....but he's on computer for 18 hrs day..... So going to get his D-3 tested... You said the D3 should be between 60 and 80 nanograms per ml correct? But what do the iron serum levels need to be at??
I think he quoted at least 60/70 for ferritin
I tried the Blood type diet, and was so restricted. I'm type B.
No eating chicken to begin with 😢
bro what is blood type diet
Doc my ferritin is 194 ng/ ml and serum iron 47 ug/ ml which is low according to range
How is it possible that ferritin is in range and iron is low?
It’s indeed possible to have a situation where your ferritin levels are within the normal range, but your serum iron is low. Let me explain how this can happen:
Understanding Ferritin and Serum Iron:
Ferritin: This is a protein that stores iron in your body and releases it when needed. It’s often used as a marker of your body’s iron stores.
Serum Iron: This measures the amount of iron that is currently circulating in your blood, available for immediate use, such as in the production of hemoglobin.
Possible Reasons for the Discrepancy:
Inflammation or Infection:
Ferritin as an Acute-Phase Reactant: Ferritin levels can increase in response to inflammation or infection, as it is an acute-phase reactant. This means that your ferritin might appear normal or even elevated despite your body’s usable iron (serum iron) being low. Essentially, your body may be "hiding" the iron in storage (ferritin) to prevent pathogens from using it, a mechanism known as the “anemia of chronic disease.”
Iron Distribution Issues:
Impaired Iron Mobilization: Sometimes, your body may have adequate iron stores, but the process of mobilizing this iron from storage (ferritin) to where it’s needed (like in your blood) is impaired. This can happen in conditions like chronic inflammation, liver disease, or certain chronic illnesses.
Early Iron Deficiency:
Stages of Iron Deficiency: In the early stages of iron deficiency, serum iron levels may drop before ferritin levels begin to fall. This could indicate that your body is starting to use up its iron stores, but they haven't been depleted yet.
Iron Utilization Problems:
Anemia of Chronic Disease: In conditions such as chronic kidney disease or chronic inflammatory conditions, the body may have difficulty utilizing iron efficiently. This leads to low serum iron despite normal or high ferritin levels.
What to Do Next:
Further Testing: To better understand the situation, additional tests might be needed, such as a total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) or transferrin saturation. These can provide more insight into how well your body is transporting and utilizing iron.
Consultation with a Specialist: It might be helpful to consult with a hematologist or your primary care physician to investigate the underlying cause, especially if there are symptoms like fatigue, weakness, or unexplained hair loss.
Addressing the underlying issue, whether it’s inflammation, an absorption problem, or another condition, is key to restoring proper iron balance in your body.

Wow, what a great video.
Never thought about different types of hairloss and the different treatments for each one.
Thanks for the info👍🏻👍🏻
Hey William!! What’s a good reference site to review case studies on hair loss and vitamin deficiencies?
Hi Dr, around 2 years ago i went through extreme diet where i kinda starve myself and at the same time i was using hair straightener and was even, then a moth after that i started to lose hair alot until now, when i did my blood test 2 months ago it showed 27.1 ng/l and this month it showed 54.3 ng/l, what am i should be concerned with? what type of hairloss im having?
everytine I diet i lose hair!!!!!!
How do I treat my leaking gut
Most doctors that I've been to -- especially women related doctors will check ferritin and D
You'd be surprised.
If I’m taking an iron supplement that is18 milligrams per capsule and it says to take 1 per day do you recommend I take 2 per day instead since I’m a menstruating female? My ferritin level is at 16.
From William’s Assistant Trichologist MJ: Yes, take 4 pills per day for 3 months then retest or discontinue if unable to retest. We recommend our high absorption Derma iron with low risk of constipation: www.advancedtrichology.com/collections/nutritional-hair-loss-products/products/foligrowth-ultra-hair-growth-vitamin-with-high-potency-biotin-folic-acid-and-26-herbs-and-vitamins
Ok thanks much
Is biotin important or needed in a supplement?
Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy hair, skin, and nails. Whether you need it in a supplement depends on several factors:
Importance of Biotin:
Hair Health: Biotin supports keratin production, which is essential for strong and healthy hair.
Skin and Nails: It helps maintain healthy skin and nails, preventing brittleness and improving overall texture.
Metabolism: Biotin is vital for the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, contributing to overall energy production.
Do You Need a Supplement?
Dietary Intake: If your diet includes biotin-rich foods such as eggs, nuts, seeds, salmon, avocados, and dairy products, you might not need a supplement. Most people get enough biotin from their diet.
Deficiency: Biotin deficiency is rare but can lead to symptoms like thinning hair, brittle nails, skin rashes, and fatigue. If you suspect a deficiency, a healthcare professional can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend supplements if needed.
Health Conditions: Certain conditions, like pregnancy, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or gastrointestinal disorders, can increase the need for biotin.
Hair Loss Treatments: If you are experiencing hair loss and have tried other treatments without success, biotin supplements might help improve hair health, though results can vary.
Conclusion
Biotin is important for hair, skin, and nail health, but not everyone needs a supplement. Assess your dietary intake and consult with a healthcare professional to determine if a biotin supplement is necessary for you.

Hallo thanks for that video
I live in Norway and I was wondering if we could have an hour-by-hour payment
Of course. Just email support@advancedtrichology.com and request a consult with me
Hello doctor
Im loosing hair from the age of around 18 and im going to be 30..i did a hair transplant but now its thinning..my hair from the age of 18 has been thinning overall my head and also my donor area was thin as per the doc during my transplant..really seeking for your help..
I'm sorry to hear about your ongoing hair loss issues. Hair loss can be distressing, especially when it persists over many years. Given your history and the thinning even in the donor area, it’s important to consider a comprehensive approach:
Medical Evaluation: It's crucial to get a detailed evaluation from a trichologist or dermatologist. They can assess your scalp and hair health thoroughly and might recommend blood tests to check for underlying conditions like hormonal imbalances or nutritional deficiencies.
Genetic Factors: Since your hair has been thinning since age 18, androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) could be a significant factor. This condition is hereditary and progresses over time.
Post-Transplant Care: Hair transplants can be affected by the health of the surrounding hair. Ensure you're following post-transplant care instructions meticulously and consider treatments to strengthen the transplanted and existing hair.
Hair Growth Treatments: Options like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly recommended for androgenetic alopecia. These treatments can help slow down hair loss and, in some cases, promote regrowth.
Lifestyle and Nutrition: A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals is essential. Supplements like biotin, zinc, and iron can support hair health. Also, reducing stress through regular exercise, adequate sleep, and mindfulness practices can positively impact hair health.
Advanced Treatments: Consider advanced treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, low-level laser therapy, or microneedling, which have shown promise in promoting hair growth and improving hair thickness.
Regular Follow-Ups: Consistent monitoring and follow-ups with your healthcare provider are essential to track the progress and make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
Scalp Care: Maintain good scalp hygiene and use products that are gentle and suitable for your hair type to avoid further damage.

Ferritin and low iodine -causes hair loss
Amd what about IRON overload from injectafer Ivs ? My ferritin is so high from 3 ivs
It was 2500 407, 307 now 349’ I can’t eat meat w/out my ferritin elevating .
I need protein .
Hair loss began 3 months after ivs
Arguing w hematologist to donate blood
I am 105 lbs and he have me enough iron for a 300 lb person
Oh my gosh!! That’s terrible!! I hope you’re better or leveled out!! 😬
Too much vitamin A can also cause hair loss, correct? This is found in many products that you don't realize, so you can get way too much in a day.
My transferrin saturation is 17 % is it low
Transferrin saturation is a measure of the amount of iron that is bound to transferrin, a protein that transports iron in the blood. The normal range for transferrin saturation is typically around 20% to 50%. A level of 17% is slightly below the lower end of the normal range.
Low transferrin saturation may indicate a decreased amount of iron in the blood or a reduced ability to bind iron to transferrin. It's important to note that interpreting these results should be done in the context of your overall health, medical history, and other iron-related markers.
If you're concerned about your transferrin saturation levels, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare professional.
