I lost 20 kilos, but also a lot of hair . It's growing back thick now.
I think it may have been because of the rapid weight loss.
I only lost 2 inches and 10 lbs and lost half of my hair in keto & excessive 24 hr fasts. I would do 36 hr bone broth fasts. I don’t know what the heck I was thinking. Mentally I felt so amazing. I did blood work at the end of a 36 hr hour fast and all my hormones and thyroid were tanked. My white & red blood cells were flagged low.
It took so long for them to get back into the normal range. My iodine was flagged low as well.
This video is gold and Maria you know you’re stuff. Keep putting out your context regardless of the haters. We need you.
Thank you for your kindness and support 🙏
How did you fix your hormones? Just eating more and no fasting?
@jenniferhalstromRealtor--what do you eat now to help your shedding stop
So I lost my cycle for a year. I shut down my pituitary HPA axis. So I was no longer getting GNRH pulses to produce LH, FSH therefore no estrogen and testosterone. All flagged low and forced my body into a perimenopause state. I found a really really good Dr. James O’Hara from Gillett Heath. It’s all via zoom. He put me on Naltrexone to restore my pulses at the pituitary in combination with Estriol (for 1 month) when I got my cycle back after 1 month I discontinued estriol but am still on the naltrexone. naltrexone has been a miracle drug. It’s also covered under insurance. In combination with prescription I can no longer fast. I keep body fat down by doing Maria’s protein sparing modified fasts eating 3 meals a day. I do eat berries and some fruit. If i eat carbs I make sure i am moving my body.
I was keto most of my 50s and I lost so much hair. I really didn’t think that it was because of keto. I honestly thought that that’s what happens in your 50s. I don’t have that anymore. I am 64 and I haven’t lost hair like that for about 3 to 4 years. And I’m carnivore now so if keto caused my hair to fall out, I should be bald.
I started taking a B complex supplement every day and the hair loss stopped! Also consume more protein.
I love the rosemary oil on the scalp for hair growth but interesting disclaimer: if you love your natural platinum gray hair, beware..it significantly darkens it. This would be good for some people but I had to stop using it since I covet my beautiful color.
i have alopecia too... I always wear a cap on my head and dont enjoy meet people staring at my hair that is Very thin...
Big hugs 🙏
Maria, you look gorgeous as always. A true picture of health! Thank you for this! Very helpful.
You are SO kind 🙏
Thank you so much for doing this video in an easy to understand manner. Other influencers have dismissed trying to explain why hair loss is so prominent in the Keto/Carnivore space. Your explanation hit it out of the park! I'm in year 4 of thinning hair, hopefully the follicles are still alive. I'd like to ramp up my protein intake to see if it'll help however I'm concerned about gluconeogenesis (too much protein turning into sugar). How much grams of protein should be limited in each meal to prevent gluconeogenesis?
You really do not have to limit your protein intake. The concept of too much protein turning into sugar is a myth. Chicken is not chocolate cake ;)
Ok, this is the first time I've heard a low-carb expert specifically explain the "why" of hair loss, & how water/sodium/protein plays a part~ really helpful Maria, thank you for this. Mine has thinned ever so slightly, yet I'm also just a few years into menopause, being 2 yrs post-menses. I know my estrogen & progesterone are low as I've not done any HRT, & am hoping not to actually. I'm not fretting over my own hair at this point, but I know a few people who are.
*For those who suspect or confirm they have an absorption issue, would you suggest they lead w/hydrochloric acid w/pepsin, or perhaps give the collagen a shot first?
🎯As always, a wealth of information in a very short 15 minutes~ not that I mind the longer posts, I like them because I'm also a lifelong researcher so I love learning new information. Especially as it pertains to health & wellness.
Hope Craig is feeling good, or better? Strangely went to sleep last night thinking about how disheartening it can be when you're doing everything right that you know to do, & the body can still surprise you with disorder/imbalance. Woke up thinking about those who inspire- like your husband- in particular when life is kicking their backsides. So important that we keep going because the alternative is completely counter to all we aim for.
Alright- I'm rambling on again. We are grateful for you both, & pray your efforts continue to be blessed.💓 ~Samantha Whitson
@RV there yet? Progesterone and estrogen cream that you rub near that area bring up those levels for you naturally from the health food store.
Yes, add HCL-pepsin and consider collagen as well :)
@@MariaEmmerich I have Organika Enhanced Collagen Protein 100% pure hydrolyzed collagen (peptides) powder from grass fed cows. Is that acceptable?
❤
Maria Emmerich, you are a rockstar.
Fascinating. I never knew this. You always help us all so much!
Never would have thought of low sodium!
I’m a mess, I have all of those reasons. 10 years ago I was diagnosed with prediabetes and was encouraged to lower carbs. I discover ketogenic diet. Lost 20 pounds but didn’t know how to sustain the weight loss. I’ve lost a lot of hair in the top part of my scalp. I also had a high stressful job for 7 years. Switched jobs but hair loss still occurring. Love body pump!
Make sure you are getting adequate protein and track your macros and electrolytes mariamindbodyhealth.com/how-to-balance-electrolytes/
Omg. Doing keto which was a huge shock i guess for my semi vegan eating for 30+ yrs. Lost 19 lbs real quickly - overthe moon with my new skinny body. But lost so much hair!! Thin and life less😳. I had great hair and used A+ salon products. Had no idea😳😭. Thanks for info- ugh. Taking hi biotin supplements and trying Nioxin
Check to make sure you are getting enough protein (80g/day is the bare minimum requirement for a 5ft tall female) mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/
Next check your electrolytes. I do not recommend biotin: mariamindbodyhealth.com/how-to-balance-electrolytes/
Hair fall control tips that work for me:
• Use mild shampoo for your hair like liiitlleextra cocconion shampoo.
• Start with a pre-wash using a natural hair rinse green tea rinse.
• Section your hair into sections and shampoo section by section: starting with the scalp, then the middle, and finally the ends.
• Create a good lather with your shampoo thoroughly and massage with your fingers the shampoo into your hair and do the same while rinsing out.
• Apply warm Cocoonioooon oil and massage it into the scalp and style your hair in a protective way.
I’ve heard positive reviews about liittlextra coconnioon shampoo, so after experimenting with different solutions, I finally gave it a go. It’s been helpful for my hair fall issue.
Great information. Thank you!
After 2 months carnivore, 100G protein/85G fat, my hair started falling out in clumps.
What is your height? Are you tracking electrolytes?
I stopped bio identical as the adrenals should be producing the hormones if in menopause … bio identical is still synthetic …..the solution for HRT is get the adrenals healthy ….
I too, stopped the bio, identical hormones because the carnivore should replace that. I to have dumped most of my hair. And I am wearing a wig. I’m heartsick over it but what are we gonna do? My belly feels so much better. I’m waiting for other parts of my auto immune to also improve.
I am extremely low in iodine so I take Lugals solution in the morning. I also have iodoral tablets for travel. Is this what you take? I have been so worried about fasting and keto since I had so much hair loss for many months last time. I appreciate this video! New to your channel and just started ordering your products. Thank you for helping people!
First, I don't recommend extended fasts. We prioritize protein so you won't have excessive hair loss if you follow correct macros (assuming there aren't other underlying conditions). I use this iodine: mariamindbodyhealth.com/iodine/
It did for me. My hair came out in clumps and i lost 1/4 of my hair. BUT was it keto or the rapid weight loss I experienced? I found out rapid weightloss is considered stress on your body. I usually lose hair when I’m very stressed or break out in hives. 😢 And just to let ppl know, all my hair did regrow w some help.
Please tell us what kind of help!
Yes please!
@@forstercorinne I tried fresh squeezed onion juice at first and worked REALLY well. Saw abundant new hair growth after 2 months of consistent twice weekly applications. Then I read about rosemary oil having same effect as minoxidil. So then I put rosemary oil in my onion juice for awhile. BUT onion juice is really smelly so now I just do rosemary oil in a carrier oil like pumpkin seed oil (or olive, jojoba, castor, any oil you like). Apply in my hair in sections. Let sit one hour and shampoo as usual. I now only apply 1-2 monthly. Most hair growth serums out there always hv rosemary oil as one of its key ingredients. My hair is thicker than before. And btw I wear contact lens so onions didn’t irritate my eyes.
Good luck ladies!
@@helgaculbert4639 Hi. I’ve posted below. I hope info helps!
@@kookoo4mike Thank you so much! Very helpful.
I am switch some of my macros to go closer to your website marcos for the summer and maybe longer as worked so good for me last time
I lost so much hair doing lchf. It never came back. I hope doing Protein sparing keto and following some of these tips will help my hair come back. I also never got the amazing energy predicted that other people claimed doing lchf. I'm ready and willing to do whatever i have to this time.
You got this!
Does homemade fermented dairy (full fat yogurt and kefir) count? I've been making Dr. Davis's L-reuteri and really love it. I have felt a noticeable improvement in my mood, energy, sleep and I think my hair is benefiting. I would hate to have to give it up. And it doesn't knock me out of ketosis.
thats sounds really good!!!
If it works for you then that's great :)
@@MariaEmmerich Thank you! I have suffered with hair loss since starting keto but never associated it with Dairy. I'm curious if you consider fermented dairy to be different from standard, ultra pasteurized dairy. Or what you think about raw dairy? Is dairy just dairy? I'm not sure I've ever heard you talk about it. I've been following your food philosophy mostly, in combination with a kind of Weston A Price approach to eating. Love your recipes so, so much -- they are what helps me know I can sustain this lifestyle forever!
@Shawn Vanner
I was making his LR and LG probiotic yogurts as well but stopped. My stomach got super bloated and the batches were failing too often. It did improve my sleep but there were too many cons than pros.
Awesome info here.. really cleared up alit of questions I had. Maria, can you suggest what type hormone to do ake for POST menopause women PLEASE.
Please consult with your doctor about BHRT 🙏czcams.com/video/SnqE_Dx6VeA/video.html
Great info.
Glad it was helpful!
Good advice! :)
Hi Maria,
after reading book "Cure: your fatique" by Morley M. Robbins I found out that anemia which I struggled with my whole life is most likely due to lack of copper not iron I was told my doctors (when I used to see doc) . If we lack copper in diet and the iron is not metabolized even if we have iron in our system. Please read the book because you may be able to help those people who seek help and suspect iron defficiency (and may be copper issue).
It sounds strange but according to Mr. Robbins (biologist by training) someone can have iron overload and be anemic, and the cause is copper defficiency. Since I started supplementing copper 3 times a day (each dose - 2 mg copper) tabs I feel so much stronger and of course thanks to your calculator I am eating correct amount of proteins I feel like I am 20 years younger and stronger as well which helps to motive myself to resistance workouts at home. I was undereating proteins all my life (eating only 50% of what I am suppose to eat) thank God that I found out about it in my late 50-ties.
cheers my dear
I eat oysters Always pur 🌸😍😇
Silicium : good for better hair quality .
Maria..how can I make sure my electrolytes are balanced? Is there a test or what can I do? I have shed nearly half my hair! Gained a ton of weight...beside myself here & truly need help.
Really enjoy yiu & Craig's info & send very best wishes for you both🙏💝
You have to track them and base your dose on symptoms: mariamindbodyhealth.com/how-to-balance-electrolytes/
People in the UK get put on PPIs for years too
:(
Wow-that was comprehensive! Re: LMNT- is it ok to drink while fasting? (I'm worried about the stevia.)
one of the LMNT options is plain (no stevia, no flavoring) - just the salt, potassium, and magnesium ;)
Lmnt does have maltodextrin in it which acts like sugar in the body just so you know
LMNT does not break a fast :)
The amount is so miniscule it's almost not worth even mentioning. Craig and I have very strict standards for the products we use, and LMNT passes the test.
@@MariaEmmerich Oh Maria! You made my (birthday today) day!
I’m 65 so yes I have low estrogen and progesterone. One doctor gave me some bioidentical estrogen cream but she said she was not going to screw with my progesterone. But I thought they had to be balanced? The doctor I see for my diabetes freaked out and told me taking any estrogen after menopause will cause heart attack and stroke. I don’t know what to believe anymore.
My testosterone is high and I have male pattern baldness. I’m not losing hair anywhere else because there’s hardly any in my brush nor in the shower.
I am using 5% Rogaine for this male pattern baldness. The Rogaine can barely keep up.
I do take extra supplements vitamin D3, zinc, magnesium, potassium, and I salt everything to taste. I do have sugar free electrolytes just not the brand you show.
My iron is normal but ferritin’s are high.
If meat causes testosterone to raise in men wouldn’t it cause it to raise in women too? This is my theory anyway for my balding.
I recommend doing a personal health assessment with me so we can get to the root cause of your issues and speed up healing:keto-adapted.com/product/assessment-form/
Help. I have been losing my hair since my kids were born, late 20s. Fast forward, at 50, in menopause. No symptoms but no period. I adidas a food allergy test back in 2013, found allergies to wheat and other gluten grains. I was around 250 and am 127 now. I became carnivore Oct. last year. LOTs of hair shredding. Blood pressure is around 90/60-70. It has been lower. I am glad to hear there are some solutions. I would love to hear more. I get a fair amount of stomach cramping. I don’t eat extra fats because they give me diarrhea and extreme cramping. I’m fine with my beef and occasional bacon. I really need some guidance.
Make sure you are getting an appropriate amount of protein. The bare minimum for a 5ft tall woman is 80g daily. Add 5g of protein per inch after that. If you are getting adequate protein, I suggest doing a personal health assessment so I can help you get to the bottom of this: keto-adapted.com/product/assessment-form/
@@MariaEmmerich Thanks
It can if you’re not getting enough fat soluble vitamins from animal fat. If you’re doing high protein and less animal fat, this can cause hairloss.
I have heard the opposite. That high fat low protein causes hair loss.
I agree with you I was doing too much protein and then I added raw dairy it’s helping my hair a lot
Why not just make broth from leafy greens?
Oxalate 🙏
Maria, I think I need to work with you. I’ve been unable to find someone to fix my GERD/reflux issues, was labeled gastritis, so I’ve be on Nexium for 10 years. I’ve tried to wean off on my own and the rebound reflux is so painful I can’t do it. 😢 Thank you for your videos! 🙏❤️
I am here for you! I suggest my VIP Keto Package with lifetime access: keto-adapted.com/product/vip-keto-package-with-lifetime-access/
And add a Personal Health Assessment to speed up healing: keto-adapted.com/product/assessment-form/
Thank you for all you do Maria. I've been carnivore for a year now & I was giving my body time to heal (hashis/ thyroid, osteopaenia & depression my antibodies are both - but I have gained 20 lbs since going carnivore & that is distressing. What does your carnivore program consists of & could it help me?
The sodium in electrolytes, is it table salt that has dextrose aka sugar? Or, do they use Redmond's salt from the salt mines?
No, always use quality sea salt and mineral salt like Redmonds.
I have a question for Maria. I'm new to her channel but I read on her website that she had PCOS. Did keto carnivore ever fix the PCOS to where she could get pregnant??
I reversed my PCOS but I adopted my two sons :)
I had PCOS and Carnivore fixed it!
Keto has had my skin, nails and hair looking good but male pattern baldness due to genetics is still an issue.
Not a lot we can do about genetics unfortunately. Craig has been keto for 16 years (6+ years carnivore) and as you know he suffers from male pattern baldness.
I fear what mine is??if its TE/chronic TE/Aga/sebopsoriasis(but it can`t be just that...only that with no regrowth after two years..)...if its diffuse,or scarring alopecia,or other type,or if its reversible I get flares with sebopsoriasis with dairy,or sugar...but I find I may have hashimotos to(got all the symptoms my halfsister got the diagnosis...)got sibo,and may have more going on with my gut..cutting out grains..always eat organic already...I dont swat,my libido is gone I do for walks(back injury)try to get more sunlight..I take pre natals + B complex,omega 3`s,1-2 brazil nuts(since recently)less fish more chicken,red meats,grassfeed/organic,going to bed earlier..started 16 hours intermitted fasting..had a sugery in May it got way worse after..but had severe hairloss before that??.........
I suggest doing my personal health assessment so I can help you sort this out and address root causes with diet and supplement modifications :) keto-adapted.com/product/assessment-form/
quick question for you just for the fact you and Craig seem to know your stuff pretty well... i got some unsweetened coconut milk and unsweetened cashew milk and i noticed it has sunflower lecthin in it as an ingredient is this ok on a ketogenic diet? Carnivore/keto/ketovore in small amounts like for a creamer... thanks in advance
It is okay :)
I'm T1 diabetic. Trying to do keto/carnivore. Protein spikes my blood sugar and yes I'm losing hair. Help. What's going on?
For T1, getting macros correct is critical. You may need to lower your protein intake per meal some. I suggest a personal health assessment: keto-adapted.com/product/assessment-form/
What salt supplement do u take?
We always use Redmond Real Salt mariamindbodyhealth.com/redmond-real-salt/
My hair loss is insane. It's very unnerving Not very fun😢...I've lost 45 lbs. So salt will help? I've been carnivore for 16 months but the hair just continues( btw I love psmf days.) Thanks Maria!
Please make sure your macros are accurate and check your electrolytes: mariamindbodyhealth.com/how-to-balance-electrolytes/
mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/
How much HCL-pepsin should one take? I have severe hair loss since losing 95 lbs on keto and being in menopause.
Start with 2-3 per meal. You can take up to 5 per meal and gradually reduce as symptoms improve.
Can the PSMF help with hair loss if don't need to lose a lot of weight? I see someone commented that PSMF stopped their hair loss.
PSMF is not for people close to their weight loss goal. If you follow appropriate keto macros and prioritize protein, excessive hair loss shouldn't occur :)
Can you share which salt oil you take. I’m not fond of the drinks.
Salt tablets
Keto Chow has a great electrolyte capsule! mariamindbodyhealth.com/ketochow/
Did I miss it? How much zinc should we be taking on a daily basis?
Take 30-50mg at breakfast. Please note that as you increase zinc, it can cause nausea so slowly increase. Start with 15mg a day for a week, then double it the next week, until you reach 30mg/day :)
@@MariaEmmerich thank you for that info. Do you recommend a certain brand or can I just get whatever they have at the store?
Will taking higher zinc amounts not upset the zinc- copper balance?
How often a day should LMNT be used?
That totally depends on the individual. Personal needs will vary: mariamindbodyhealth.com/how-to-balance-electrolytes/
I’m wondering if this is my issue has it’s been almost a year on carnivore/keto and my hair is no longer shedding but it’s also not growing back. I take 1 LMNT a day and salt my food like crazy but still nothing. I also eat around 130g protein and i weight about 107
I would definitely increase your electrolytes 💪❤️
@@MariaEmmerich Thank you, will do!!
Would you please make a video for those of us that make to many trips to the bthrm ( loose, watery stools )
Diarrhea can be caused by many things. Too much or the wrong form of magnesium, too much sodium in a short amount of time, fiber, dairy, eggs (if there is an allergy or intolerance), and a number of health conditions. I suggest my chronic diarrhea supplement plan if you have ruled out such causes as wrong magnesium (should be magnesium glycinate) or diet: keto-adapted.com/product/chronic-diarrhea/
@@MariaEmmerich …..Thank You, Maria. I have had this problem for “years” 😑 I’m going to try your supplement since I’ve tried [literally] every thing else 💜
When you say no dairy, is hwc ok in coffee?
HWC is dairy 🙏
@@MariaEmmerich thank you!
Interesting video on the effects of keto and carnivore diets on hair health. For anyone experiencing hair loss, I highly recommend DermalMD Hair Growth Serum - it's a natural, effective way to promote hair growth and improve overall hair health. Thanks for sharing this informative video!
I don't see the collagen link... am I blind? 😂
mariamindbodyhealth.com/collagen/
That's actually not completely true, there is a lot of questions regarding that.
Why don't you ever mention Telogen Effluvium when you talk about hair loss? It's probably the most common cause and I've never heard you mention it.
Yes, and since weight loss can be considered a stress or shock to the body it can cause telogen effluvium to occur. That’s what happened to me anytime I lost significant amounts of weight.
I am speaking of excessive amounts of hair loss. I say time and again that some hair loss is expected any time you begin a new way of eating/weight loss regimen.
Hi im on canivore and i cant figure out if im eating enough, what are the correct ratios ?
Also have lots of hair loss

Track your electrolytes: mariamindbodyhealth.com/how-to-balance-electrolytes/
@@MariaEmmerich - thanks ,will have a look ;)
Awesom...thanks Maria
When eat high fat carnivore or eat grain.... I lose weight. The reason is I ate too much fat and carbs, and not enough protein.
PSMF stopped all hair loss. Now when I shower, I watch the hair loss and up my protein if needed.
What is PSMF please??
Vitamine A, vitamin D, biotine and iodine. And of course MORE protein and fuck ketones. 😂😂😂😂
When you have tinnitus you can't have salt!
Interesting. I never heard that 🙏
Veganism works great if you do it right.
There is no healthy way to maintain veganism long term without suffering from low protein and other deficiencies.
