Want to actually GROW YOUR HAIR? The science of a whole-body approach to tackling HAIR THINNING with Dr. Brianna Diorio

Thank you Nutrafol for sponsoring today’s video. In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp sponsored by Nutrafol, I chat with Dr. Brianna Diorio, who is the Director of Product Education at Nutrafol in addition to a certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition practitioner and holistic lifestyle coach. Brianna and I are going to talking about why women are prone to hair thinning during certain stages of life -- like postpartum and menopause, we’re going to discuss the role of stress and the gut microbiome on our hair, we’re going to do a little myth busting on hair health hacks, and we’re going to talk about optimal nutrients, diet and supplement suggestions for supporting hair growth.
