Hair Loss, Thyroid and Mitochondrial Function

Thyroid Hormones, Mitochondrial Functioning and Hair Loss



Hair loss is a common symptom of thyroid disease. In our research,hair loss, changes in color or luster, and skin changes are regularly reported as one of the first symptoms noticed in an emerging non-allergenic adverse reaction to a medication or vaccine. These symptoms often coincide with unexplained fatigue and muscle pain. Given that many patients who develop the more chronic, multi-symptom medication or vaccine reactions also developthyroid disease and frequently exhibit signs of mitochondrial damage, I wondered if somehow the hair and skin changes could be early warning signs of diminished mitochondrial functioning. I also wondered if all of these variables were connected. It turns out that not only are they connected, but incredibly interdependent.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
