Fix A Reversible Cause of Hair Loss

We suspect that hair loss, aging, premature menopause, infertility, hypothyroidism as well as a host of other diseases can be related to the substances that have now gained the name Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals. One of the most common chemicals we are exposed to is Mercury. And in a new study in Aug 2019 issue of Menopause we find that high levels of mercury can cause hair loss, and the good news is that this cause is reversible. Women seeking treatment for what is thought to be hormone-related hair loss during menopause, may actually have this cause of hair loss. Measurement of mercury and other toxin levels can be done when you are checking hormones if you have noticed hair loss with signs of hormone change such as hot flashes and poor sleep.
