Why Do I Have Hair Fall Despite Eating Healthy?
Many people assume that a nutritious diet alone is enough for healthy, thick hair. While food plays a major role, hair loss is often influenced by multiple factors beyond just what you eat. If you’re experiencing hair fall despite consuming protein, iron, vitamins, and healthy fats, it’s time to dig deeper into other possible causes.
Let’s explore hidden reasons behind hair fall and how Midas Wellness Hub can help you regain your hair health.
1. Gut Health: Are You Absorbing Nutrients?
You might be eating the right foods, but if your gut isn’t absorbing nutrients properly, your hair follicles won’t get the nourishment they need. Common gut issues that impact hair health:
✅ Iron Deficiency – Poor gut health can reduce iron absorption, even if you consume iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, and nuts.
✅ B-vitamin Deficiency – Your gut bacteria produce biotin (B7), essential for hair strength. An imbalanced gut can lower biotin levels, leading to hair fall.
✅ Inflammation & Leaky Gut – Conditions like IBS, bloating, or acidity can interfere with nutrient absorption.
Solution: Improve gut health with probiotics (yogurt, fermented foods), prebiotic fiber (flaxseeds, oats), and digestive-friendly foods.
2. Hormonal Imbalance: A Silent Cause of Hair Fall
Hormonal fluctuations can trigger excessive hair shedding, especially in women. Common hormonal conditions linked to hair loss:
🌀 PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) – High androgen levels can cause thinning hair.
🌀 Thyroid Issues – Both hypothyroidism (low thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can lead to hair shedding.
🌀 Postpartum Hair Fall – After childbirth, estrogen levels drop, leading to sudden hair loss.
🌀 Stress Hormones (Cortisol) – Chronic stress triggers hormonal shifts, weakening hair follicles.
Solution: Get your hormones tested and manage stress through meditation, yoga, and balanced workouts.
3. Protein and Iron: Are You Eating Enough?
Hair is made of keratin, a protein. If your diet lacks sufficient protein and iron, hair growth slows down, and strands become weak.
🍛 Best Protein Sources for Hair Growth: Paneer, dals, soya, quinoa, nuts, and seeds.
🍎 Iron-Rich Foods: Spinach, beetroot, dates, sesame seeds, and millets.
Solution: Include a protein-rich meal in every diet and pair iron sources with vitamin C (like lemon, amla) for better absorption.
4. Excessive Styling & Chemical Damage
Even with a great diet, excessive heat styling, harsh shampoos, and chemical treatments can cause hair breakage.
🚫 Avoid daily heat styling (straighteners, curling irons)
🚫 Minimize frequent hair coloring and chemical treatments
✅ Use sulfate-free, gentle shampoos
Solution: Follow a minimalist hair care routine and opt for hydrating oils (coconut, castor, argan) for nourishment.
5. Seasonal Hair Fall & Weather Changes
Hair fall often increases during monsoon and winter due to humidity, dryness, and scalp infections. Many people also experience increased shedding in October and November, known as seasonal hair loss.
Solution: Keep the scalp moisturized with oil massages, and eat seasonal zinc-rich foods like nuts, seeds, and whole grains.
