Dr Larry Shapiro, who has released a new book regarding hair loss, says that Tiger Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren, is far from being the only one suffering hair loss as a result of stress. He says that hair loss has many causes and heightened stress is one of the most common.
The hair transplant surgeon said:
“Over the last few decades of observing and talking to thousands of patients, I became increasingly suspicious of certain supplements, lifestyle factors and hormones that contributed to their hair loss.”
Shapiro has carried out his own studies to try and identify some of the causes of hair loss. He believes that many supplements create hormonal imbalances that can lead to it happening. He has also looked at the impact of stress.
Talking of Nordegren, Shapiro says:
“Here you have a perfectly healthy, young woman who has been under a great deal of stress. Her body reacted by creating a hormonal imbalance that triggered insomnia, weight loss and hair loss. The good news is that anyone experiencing this type of hair loss can reverse their situation rather quickly if they provide the nutrients the body needs to stimulate the follicles to grow new hair and balance the body’s hormonal levels out.”
