As clinicians, we were taught a nutrition-focused physical exam that barely touched the surface of hair and scalp concerns — meanwhile, hair loss is likely to impact every woman in the world at some point in her life.

I'm hoping these resources change that, little by little — equipping dietitians with the knowledge and confidence to discuss hair loss with their patients, and arming those patients with the tools to advocate for themselves with their dermatologist and throughout their care team.
