Hair thinning is one of those changes many women notice during menopause, but the question is, is it only hormonal?
While shifting hormones do play a role, nutrient intake is often overlooked. Low levels of key nutrients like iron, zinc and protein can quietly contribute to hair shedding, slower growth and overall thinning.
The good news? Supporting your hair doesn’t have to be complicated. Simple, consistent choices can make a difference over time.
Plant foods like kale, broccoli, spinach and of course white and sweet potatoes are rich in key nutrients like iron and zinc. You’ll also find them in nuts, seeds and legumes, helping support stronger, healthier hair from within.
It’s not just about hormones, it’s about giving your body what it needs to support you through this phase.
Here’s to feeling strong, supported and confident, inside and out.
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
