The Hair Advice You’ve Been Missing (From a Dermatologist)

Description

#340: In this bonus episode, I'm sitting with Dr. Heather Woolery-Lloyd, board-certified dermatologist and Chief Medical Advisor at Nutrafol, to unpack the science behind hair health and why the conversation around thinning, shedding, and scalp care deserves so much more openness—especially for women. We talk about how stress, hormones, aging, and even our daily habits impact our hair in ways most of us don’t fully understand. This conversation really shifted how I think about hair. Not just as something aesthetic, but as a reflection of what’s going on in our bodies. From scalp health to nutrition to the emotional side of hair loss, Dr. Heather breaks it all down in a way that actually makes sense. If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or even a little alone in your hair journey… this one is for you.
