Ask a Better Question
Why is My Hair Falling Out?
Show Notes

Thank you Dr. Bethany Lema for taking on what is a personal and sometimes scary subject for so many people (myself included)....hair loss. UGH. I share my own struggles and approach to dealing with this and I'm so grateful to Bethany for sharing the medical science behind all of this. As you'll hear, this is not an easy situation to diagnose and treat- but hopefully you'll come away armed with more knowledge and some possibilities if you're dealing with hair loss too.

Bethany also discusses her experience of the relationship between stress and dermatological issues. (spoiler....might there be  a mindfulness link here too?)

We also talk about other top derm. questions for women especially such as anti aging treatments and products, sun protection and what are the best drug store brands to use?

Also- how does Botox work? What is the history of Rogaine?

What is Dr Lema's top piece of advice?

- Laser HairMax wand of cap. The difference between them is really how many times a week it has to be used and for how long. https://hairmax.com/collections/laserbands
