Hair shedding is a symptom of your body telling you something else is going on.
When we see hair loss at The UltraWellness Center, we don't just treat the follicle — we look at the full picture. Gluten is one of the many variables we investigate, and the connection runs deeper than most people realize.
Here's what the research tells us:
🌾 Gluten can trigger immune responses that damage hair follicles
🧬 It can mimic thyroid tissue — fueling Hashimoto's-related shedding
🚫 Leaky gut blocks absorption of the very nutrients hair growth depends on
The root of your hair loss could be gluten, thyroid dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, or a combination — and specialty testing is the only way to know.
