Did you know that losing your hair is not necessarily part of aging?
I am sure you have seen many bald or balding young people. There can be many reasons, such as chronic stresses, mineral deficiencies, thyroid problems, etc.
I want to share my experience with hair loss that started after I had COVID-19. My blood tests revealed a critical marker that conventional doctors often overlook: the ferritin level. This particular marker shows whether your cells receive enough iron to function properly. Low ferritin levels create many symptoms that may make your life miserable: extreme fatigue, migraine headaches, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and hair loss. Ask your physician to add this vital blood marker test during your annual physical. Otherwise, you will be kept in the dark!
Adding supplements and specific foods to your diet will also help to remedy this issue. It will take some time, but you must fix this from the inside.
Proper topical hair treatments may significantly speed up this process. I recommend plant oils to restore and reverse the damage, soothe your scalp, and relieve itching. In Vika's Hair Elixir "Shine Baby Shine,"
I carefully selected oils known to treat the scalp and encourage healthy hair growth: hemp oil, kukui nut, castor seed, jojoba, coconut oil, rosemary, tea tree, and lavender. I formulated this luxurious "leave-in" treatment with unrefined organic oils that provide intense hydration down to the roots of your hair.
Regular treatments help prevent shampoo residue buildup while adding volume and softness. Before washing my hair, I apply Hair Elixir to my scalp and gently massage it for several minutes to get the blood flowing to my hair follicles. Let Hair Elixir work its magic for 1 to 2 hours or longer for a more effective treatment.
Do you worry about oily residue after washing your hair? Here is a solution: apply shampoo on dry hair before your shower. Let it break down the oils for 5-6 minutes for an easy wash. Make sure to wash your hair twice. It also helps to rinse with 2 Tbsp. of Apple Cider vinegar diluted in a quart of water. Keeping your scalp healthy creates an optimal foundation for your hair to flourish and glow.

Over 6,100 medical studies also suggest that RLT (Red Light Therapy) can stimulate hair growth and rejuvenate skin, among other health benefits.
No, you don't have to set up an appointment with a therapist : ) You can enjoy sessions in the comfort of your own home just like I do.
Red and near-infrared light therapy has been widely researched and is a proven anti-aging tool with numerous positive effects on facial skin, hair, and the entire body. Repairing damage from UV rays requires the ability to repair cellular and DNA damage. You can research RLT devices for household use, such as RedRush360.
I also want to mention a mineral that can benefit weak, brittle hair. It's a form of silica called orthosilicic acid, the cornerstone ingredient of Dr. Myers's beauty health formula, Ageless AF. I mentioned my experience with this supplement in one of my latest newsletters. Silica helps protect hair strands from breakage and enhances elasticity. It also encourages the body to send more minerals to the hair, strengthening and nourishing it.
From my heart to your health,
