About This Episode
Is diabetes causing your hair loss? Thinning hair, excessive shedding, or a widening part may be linked to blood sugar imbalance and chronic inflammation, not aging or biotin deficiency.
In this episode of the Reverse Diabetes Podcast, Dr. Beverly Yates, ND talks with Julie Olson, a triple-certified functional medicine nutritionist and female hair loss expert, about the real connection between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, inflammation, and damaged hair follicles.
They explain why high-dose biotin is one of the biggest hair loss myths and how excess biotin can disrupt cellular metabolism rather than support hair growth. Julie also breaks down how poor circulation, gut health, stress, hormones, and thyroid issues affect the hair growth cycle.
You will learn Julie’s PFC nutrition strategy (Protein, Fat, Carbohydrates) to support blood sugar control, reduce inflammation, and create the internal conditions needed for healthy hair regrowth.
