E163: Women's Hair Loss & Connection to Hormones, Stress, and Nutrition with Faraz Khan
This episode covers:
An interview with Faraz Khan. Faraz Khan is an anti-aging and hair expert. He hosts the popular Anti-Aging Hacks podcast. Faraz inherited hair thinning from his mother's side of the family. His hair thinning started when he was a soccer athlete in college and led to years of anxiety, shame, and a loss of confidence. He tried hair growth vitamins, hair serums, and hair shampoos but nothing worked. He reluctantly got on a prescription drug, which didn't fully stop his hair loss. Faraz decided that he wanted to use a natural solution without side effects. In his quest to find a way out of this heavy burden that life had placed on him, he traveled the world in search of experts and explored dozens of solutions. It was only after he combined the knowledge across hair loss, anti-aging, and wellness did he experience a renewed vitality with his hair. In this episode, we discuss why hair loss is multifactorial, the important role stress plays in hair loss, how men and women deal with hair loss differently, and so much more.
