Your thyroid gland plays a vital role in regulating hair growth — and imbalances can contribute to hair thinning, dryness, and slow regrowth.
As part of comprehensive anti-aging care, supporting thyroid health helps promote vibrant, resilient hair.
How thyroid function affects hair:
✅ T3 and T4 thyroid hormones regulate hair follicle metabolism and growth cycle
✅ Low thyroid hormones→ slow hair growth and promote shedding
✅ Hypothyroidism can cause hair to become coarse, brittle, and thin
✅ Hyperthyroidism may also contribute to hair thinning and disrupt the hair growth cycle
Signs your thyroid may be affecting your hair:
✅ Increased hair shedding
✅ Diffuse thinning (especially around the scalp and temples)
✅ Coarse or brittle hair texture
✅ Slower regrowth after hair loss
✅ Coexisting fatigue, weight changes, mood shifts, cold sensitivity
How to support thyroid health for graceful aging and hair vitality:
✅ Prioritize blood sugar balance → glucose swings impact thyroid function
✅ Ensure optimal selenium, zinc, and iron intake — all critical for thyroid hormone production
✅ Support gut health → the microbiome influences thyroid metabolism
✅ Manage stress → elevated cortisol impairs thyroid hormone conversion
✅ Personalize thyroid support through comprehensive naturopathic care
