Getting to the root of hair loss

Getting to the root of hair loss, by Dr. EcclesBlog


Avatar for The Natural Doctor
29 Jun 2017 by Dr. Nyjon Eccles in Hair Restoration

This week, Sex & The City star Kristin Davis became the latest celebrity to open up about her battle with hair loss. Her decision to go public on the problem follows candid interviews on the same subject given recently by, among others, British television personality Nadia Sawalha and former Glee star Naya Rivera.

Hair and its associated issues have long been the butt of jokes, most of which are intended to be what people these days describe as ‘banter’, but many of which stray dangerously close to the realm of personal vilification.

Personal style choices aside, everything else to do with how your hair grows – or doesn’t – has been pretty much beyond your direct control, yet what does or doesn’t adorn our scalp seems to have an unwavering capacity for drawing unwanted attention.

Baldness, thinning hair and a receding hairline are obvious issues that routinely attract an unkind comment. But even the process of ageing doesn’t avoid the very public gaze and judgement of our peers. This is especially so for men who, in terms of combating disagreeable attention, face the lose-lose choice of either being told often that they’ve ‘gone very grey’ or risk accusations of vanity when they reach for the Just For Men.

The fact is, hair loss is a deeply personal and, almost more than any other physiological degeneration – like the appearance of wrinkles, diminished eyesight or hearing etc. – it can have a disproportionate impact on our emotional wellbeing.

We are social creatures and on a primal level we are, like all animals, driven by how we fit into and are viewed by the herd. As humans, we define this as how we are judged. As with all animals, appearance is important and so it is completely understandable that how we look plays an enormous part in how we engage with fellow members of our species.

When it all comes down to it, the role our hair plays in defining us socially comes down to pure biology and the instinctive need in all living creatures to reproduce. That’s not to say the mating game is always a conscious factor in how we feel about our hair, but it seems an unshakeable subconscious part of our self-esteem and confidence.

Research has shown that a lion’s mane is principally there to attract the ladies. In the African savannah there are just too many downsides to having that much hair for it to be anything else. A full mane is a good early indication of strong genes: a male lion has survived an awful lot to live long enough to grow those impressive locks.

And it’s not just the male of the species whose hair says something about their suitability as a prospective mate – the same is true of the female, too. Abundant healthy hair is a mating signal, whatever the gender. And in the end, we can’t cheat these instincts.

So, taking all that into account, it’s not exactly surprising that what’s going on up top is plays a significant part in how positively we view ourselves. Loss of hair, whether gradual or otherwise, prompts an emotional response that is as pre-programmed as it is possible to be. It affects our the way we see ourselves and, crucially, the way we believe others see us. It can cause a loss of confidence, depression and issued with self-esteem.

And because of that, the jibes – however they are intended – hurt and exacerbate the way we feel about our place in the world. It’s no coincidence that talking about hair loss provokes such an emotional response in the Kristin Davises and Nadia Sawalhas of the world: our hair is part of what defines us.

The hair restoration business is awash with, shampoos, creams, sprays, supplements and treatments that promise to slow hair loss. But the reality is that there are options to actually reverse the process of hair loss.

Our new clinic is seeing amazing results for men and women through Dr Eccles’ development of a natural hair restoration treatment. Although our treatments won’t work for complete baldness, for people with receding or thinning hair, it’s no longer the case that it has to be a one-way journey. Get in touch and see how our hair restoration treatments can help you to find renewed confidence and happiness.

    Good morning,

    In my late 20’s due to stress my hair used to fall out and subsequently became quite fine especially on top. Through a change in diet it did improve but 8 yrs ago I started taking Juice Plus and even after a couple of months I noticed significant improvement.
    My husband and hairdresser noticed new hair growth.
    Admittedly the last year I have not taken JP daily and in the past few months have noticed my shiny scalp again. I recently purchased your Vit D capsules and started taking Juice Plus again. Is there anything else I could be doing to stimulate regrowth? I am 45 and refuse to believe it’s an age thing.

    Hi I am enquiringly for my partner who is very self concious about his thinning hair he has a area of baldness which he covers up with sprays and certain styling techniques he has plenty hair on the back of his head and wondered at his age 73 if there is any solution – he is a vegetarian and takes Juice Plus capsules and shakes as part of his dietary nutrition.
    Any information appreciated as he is is the public eye but he is retreating and feeling somewhat shy of his balding despite his acceptance.

    I had some treatment for a breast condition in the clinic, people are very polite and nice including the doctors. I had to stop the treatment as It was not working but that's fair enough as no everything works for everybody. I stop going to the clinic and nobody in the clinic contacted me to find out what was going on, what happened with me. That showsed lack of care and I was disappointed about that.

    Been visiting this clinic for nearly 10 years. It reassures me about my breast health and if I raise any concerns they are always answered well. Staff are professional but friendly. Dr Eccles knows his field. Will keep returning for my check ups. Peace of mind is worth so much.

    A recent breast health scare in my 30's lead me to seek a less invasive option to check breast health. The Thermocheck scan, detailed report and Skype consultation with Dr Eccles was very professional and reassuring. I now feel more informed and supported in preparation for my hospital appointment. I highly recommend Dr Eccles and his team to provide an efficient, professional service and support your health naturally.

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to use your excellent product. Although it has only been 2 weeks, both myself and my wife have noticed, the hair growth has certainly become thicker, more of a covering. This is very encouraging, following many years of not really being bothered about my hair loss, now that I am noticing an improvement I am very excited at the prospects of once again having a full head of hair.

    Dr Eccles has given me my life back, because he has balanced my hormones in a way that enables me to live my life to the full again!I was not only suffering with menopause fatigue and the many other symptoms of menopause, but I had ongoing lethargy with Auto-Immune Hashimotos and a struggling thyroid. It came to the point I didn’t know which symptom was due to which hormone deficiency.After my second thorough consultation with Dr Eccles, he had tweaked my dose and found I was indeed Iodine deficient. Now I am beginning to have normal levels of energy again and it is getting better and better, for the first time in five years! I sleep like a baby and my overactive bladder has been calmed. I am so glad I found Dr Eccles, life is too short to suffer with debilitating symptoms, he is the best doctor for me!

    The Dr helped me feel like myself again after lots of low level symptoms. My GP dismissed me. It was worth every penny. Thank you

    Highly recommend this practice. My experience so far after taking the thermogenic breast scan, and Bio identical hormone replacements has been a very pleasant and informative process.

    I began to see Dr Eccles six years ago and he continues to provide excellent care and attention every time I see him. I have referred several friends to him and they have all been very happy. Both Dr Eccles and his staff genuinely care and always go the extra mile. I highly recommend him for all areas of female health, immunity and healthy ageing in general!
