Is Your Hair Loss Coming from Your Gut? – Dr. Berg on Biotin & Hair Loss Causes

DATA:

In this video, Dr. Berg talks about the relationship between hair loss and digestion. Biotin, one of the B vitamins, is also one of the key nutrients for hair health and growing hair.

It is an essential helper factor for enzymes to help make proteins from amino acids. The microbes in the gut also make B vitamins including Biotin. He also discussed antibiotics in GMO foods.

Antibiotics Effects:
• Decreased amounts of friendly bacteria (Lessening the production of Biotin)
• Increased growth of another microbe that can’t make biotin called Lactobacillus murinus

I take a high quality zinc and omega 3 supplement which are both shown in studies to be natural DHT blockers. I also take a high quality multi vitamin and B vitamin supplement for baseline. My diet is mostly fish, eggs, green tea, avocados, asparagus. My hair is thicker than it has ever been.

Excellent Video...when my gut is inflamed, there's inflammation on my scalp and that's where hair starts to come out. For me the relationship is VERY DIRECT, I notice it like in a day or few days.

[CamHEller]

You're just freakin' awesome. Seriously we need more Dr. Bergs spreading the good word.

[myrnacrittenden]

And most cows and chickens are given antibiotics too! Great info doc!

[carlasouza]

My hair growth was 3 inches since I started keto and multivitamins I am so happy

[zeynand]

Can you do a video about balancing gut bacteria and microbiomes? A quick diy, something that works for everyone?

[flamingpieherman]

And sauerkraut would help too I would assume as it produces probiotics

[rosieran]

Can you make a video with eye problems related to the gut please?

[GennyBroderick]

Thank you for this. Didn’t know any of this and that antibiotics are a culprit. I recently injured my leg and was hospitalized but now discharged. They have me in two different antibiotics because of cellulitis. It is so difficult to find products that are not GMO, but I always search for them no matter cost. I look forward to your videos. Wish I could go in October, but I have a son in college so that is where my money is going right now. I lost 63 on Keto and IF and now I am at a plateau. Praying it will kick in where I will start losing again.

I ordered the product and used it for 5 days, and i have noticed increased hair growth today. I also try eating organic.

[michaelpelzek]

I just came across this video and wanted to say thank you. Ive had this on and off ushually reversible with rogaine, but in the last month had digestive issues, and you guessed it horrible thinning. I never put these two together, but it gave me something to think about thank you.

I’ve been taking care of my gut with a yogurt drink which is filled with probiotics only problem is ALT is high.

[vishaljoshi]

Does it help in autoimmune disease? I have alopecia areata and i heart that probiotics help it to get it fix. Is it right?

[raosarangganesh]

Hi Dr Berg, any suggestions for vegan probiotic and biotin sources ?

[designereats]

I took collagen & I feel like it’s making my hair thicker and fuller

[SamahLama]

I've been having fat malabsorption and hair loss.. That explains a lot

[Coach_Jose]

Eating too much protein will cause gluconeogenesis and will cause high glucose readings like a diabetic. That will cause problems
with your thyroid and also symptoms like hair loss. If you losing your hair on a carnivore or keto diet it is because of gluconeogenesis.
The ideal protein to fat ratio is 2 grams of fat to 1 gram of protein. Ribeyes are not enough to provide that.

Hi, I'm following you fro
Syria. Your channel is very useful

[saltyprepper]

Dr. Berg, can a biotin supplement cause hair loss? Or can oregano oil, bentonite clay or monolaurin cause hair loss? I took them all at the same time for about two months for candida overgrowth. Hair is now thinning and I suspect it's one of the supplements because I had no problems before.
