Can Biohacking be Related to Hair Loss?
My cousin asked me to listen to a podcast on Biohacking & DNA Testing that she found really enlightening. So we listened to Gary Brecka as we drove to the lake, and every substance (in a specific form) he mentioned as being a game-changer, I would say, “That’s in MultiAbsorb!”
As Brecka says in the podcast:
“There are all kinds of consequences that you wouldn’t think stem from a simple nutrient deficiency, but they do.”
Then two days later, one of our customers posted this review of MultiAbsorb, titled:
Life-changing — reversed female hair loss
“I suffered from significant female hair loss. I follow a healthy lifestyle, and have changed nothing else except to incorporate MultiAbsorb — and it’s grown back (not all full-length yet, and still with lots of baby hairs poking through in tufts, but it’s noticeably thicker and without excessive shedding when I shower or brush). I’m on my third bottle, and plan to continue this indefinitely, with incredible gratitude.
As the title suggests, I suffer(ed) from significant female hair loss, which was the first having gone through a series of stressful events in very short order;
the second being diagnosed with skin cancer on my scalp and requiring two subsequent surgeries; then, experiencing overall shock loss from the surgery.
Because my hair thinned so much, it also became incredibly greasy, requiring more frequent washing or else I’d run the risk of losing even more (the added oil weighed down what was left). I’d estimate I’d lost about 15 to 20% of my total hair volume.
I eat a very healthy diet — it varies between carnivore, ketogenic and with elements of TCM — and incorporate things like raw egg yolks and beef liver. Even adding in organ supplements was not enough to stop the loss, which was visibly noticeable to me, and to my endocrinologist (I did undergo a series of extensive testing, including MRI) and longtime hair stylist, who encouraged me (kindly) to seek out Rogaine, which I declined.
My T3 is borderline low, but on paper, the function is normal. I also declined a thyroid prescription for the time being. I am in my early 40s.
In November, I instinctively felt like a multivitamin might be worth a try, not for my hair, but to support my body as a whole, given the amount of stress I was under. I used to spend thousands of dollars on supplements, juicing, you name it, and have largely pulled back except for select minerals that I buy individually for a homemade electrolyte mix.
I first opted for a children’s powdered multi, which was the only thing I could find at the time. I didn’t notice a big difference, so I opted for an adult tablet (again, I wanted a liquid or powder without flavors/additives, but couldn’t find one). The needle felt slightly moved, but I also didn’t feel great about using a product with binders due to a sensitive GI. It was when I was searching out not for a powdered multivitamin, but a powdered B vitamin (if LTYG ever made this, I’d scoop it up in an instant) that Google led me to LTYG.
Initially, I balked at the price, as I already commit $70 per month to Rosita cod liver oil, and again, I didn’t want to get back on the supplement train. But, I figured once would be fine, and that it’d be a ‘science experiment’ and so I bought my first bottle in January.
Some changes were I felt a burst of energy within an hour of taking the supplement. However, I also felt incredibly nauseous when taking it on an empty stomach, and so now I have it alongside my first meal, or I pour it into NOW gelatin capsules if on the go.
Within a few weeks, my fingernails (which I’ve always kept short) grew at rapid pace, and were not just long, but strong. But it was maybe a month later I had my “Wow” moment: I no longer had clumps of hair to remove from my shower drain or wall every time I washed my hair. I was no longer pulling clumps of hair from my hairbrush, or sweeping it from my kitchen floor.
I have not changed my diet, exercise program or added/taken away any other supplement during this time — I actually stopped my organ supplements because, again, I already eat them in raw form, and didn’t really notice a big difference with them — so my #1 is/was MultiAbsorb.
But, that is not the end of it. In mid-March, I began to notice that my hair looked and felt fuller around the crown, and that some of the bald patches I could visibly see looked filled in. My ponytail (I use either silk scrunchies or resin loops, and I’m careful to wear it down often) began to feel more dense in April. The bottom of my hair still look(ed) scraggly until yesterday, when I went for my quarterly haircut, and before even touching my scalp, my stylist of almost a decade said, “Wow, your hair has started to grow back, huh?” (and, yes, I told him about the product in case he wants to pass it on to his other clients).
I plan to increase my cutting schedule over the next six to eight months to get rid of the thinner bottom bits, which you can still see through (my hair is about shoulder length as I write this; it is usually a few inches below, but I cut it shorter for my surgery).
I don’t doubt that I suffer from some sort of leaky gut, and that I likely had/have some sort of nutritional deficiency that this product helped solve. I love the idea of getting everything from food, but I’d rather have a solution than be dogmatic and prideful. I am incredibly grateful this product exists, and plan to buy and use it indefinitely.” – K.N.
What makes a supplement great?
People who are highly educated about natural health, understand the importance of consuming supplements with:
- NO fillers
- NO binders
- NO flow agents
The other really important benefit to all Imix products is that I formulate them not only for common gene mutations like MTHFR. But I also look for natural-source extractions.
You can create a molecularly identical vitamin via chemical synthesis, or, you can extract that vitamin by fermenting organic matter (like vegetables).
Which one do you think is healthier and will have more positive impact on the body?
Most supplement formulators or manufacturers do not even think to ask for the raw material flow chart for each ingredient. But I do. It’s also important whether the nutrient was extracted using a chemical like acetone, or via water/steam, or fermentation. Remember that all substances carry a vibration – a frequency signature – in addition to their molecular composition.
When you purchase any of the supplements I formulated for Imix Nutrition, you can be confident that I have ensured this level of integrity for every product – because I use them myself and for my whole family!
