If you notice a sudden texture change in your hair, your hair is falling out or breaking off, then it could be a sign of one or a few issues that I'll talk about in this video. Again, I'm not a doctor, this is all information that I've learned while researching and verifying my own health and hair issues. I also share my entire detailed hair health story as it relates to my recent health issues. I hope this video helps! Xo! Nap

Sugar is the most addictive drug out there
I find myself thinking about sweets more often! I’m 66! I should know better. I had a hemorrhagic stroke so I have many symptoms of adrenal fatigue. However, I think it’s what I have too. I’m going to my doctor appointment on the 11th. 🤯
Teresa Seals thank God you survived that type of CVA, it’s rare, stay blessed and take care.
Ketogenic lifestyle has changed so many people’s lives. I’ve learned so much about how my body works by listening to Dr. Berg who is a Chiropractor and teaches you well. I’ve lost 9 lbs this month and my waist is shrinking. Sugar is the trap that we need to get away from......#hellnotoallthosecarbs
I have bad caffeine withdrawal so bad that I couldn't go to sleep and I would cry because my head felt like it would explode and I couldn't feel my heartbeat in my throat😭😭😭
Thanks for all the love on the video guys! For those wondering about why I didn't go to a doctor sooner, like I mentioned, I didn't know that my symptoms were even an issue. They crept up on me slowly, over the course of 3 years... I didn't even notice I was going through any changes until my body started shutting down dramatically. I thought it was normal to be tired because I was a new mom, or because of work. I couldn't piece together how I felt before, compared to how I felt now, because it happened so slowly that it BECAME my normal. That's the reason I wanted to make this video. Because many of us are in a SLOW decline without realizing it. The symptoms become unnoticeable, and your perception EVOLVES throughout the years to think that you're doing fine, because you can't remember how you felt prior.
If you go to the doctor and they ask you how you are, and you answer, "I'm feeling fine," because you think that you are... that's where the medical attention stops. The doctor will only know what to look for if you tell them your symptoms. If you don't think you have any, then they won't go looking for anything. So I'm happy that this video has a lot of you questioning, and most importantly, NOTICING your symptoms. Even if it turns out that nothing is wrong, it's great that you're addressing it because you never know.
I know that a lot of people in the medical field turn their noses up at people "self-diagnosing" but honestly... if you DON'T self diagnose, it can become really hard for a doctor to find that starting point for which to look into what could be wrong. I think it's great to research what may be going on in your own body. I will ALWAYS consult my doctor for their professional opinion when I realize I need it. But this video was not about telling people to "self-diagnose," it's about asking people to stop and really think about how they're feeling. And think about any symptoms that they may be feeling, that they didn't realize were happening. And then if you notice any symptoms, to consult your doctor. So for those wondering why I hadn't consulted sooner, the answer is in the video. I just did not know. And that's the whole point.
I'm really thankful to have so many of you as well because you all have helped teach me a lot of what I know now about health in general. It's through discussions like this that I learn more, and that we're all able to share our experiences and teach each other how to live healthier. XoXo!! 💗
I hear you! I also ignored symptoms for a while and when my results cane back, my inflammation numbers were high and Vit D deficiency. I just finished a 4mth Vit D Protocol so I have to go back and re-test to see whether my levels are back up.
+Naptural85 Thank you so much for sharing your story! I'm glad you were able to pinpoint what the issue was and work on getting better. So many of us play so many roles we accept feeling less than stellar and there really is an issue. I also want to thank you for making my hair journey SO much easier! You have always gave solid, well researched, and needed videos. I big chopped three years ago and have never regretted doing so. I truly have a love relationship (finally) with my hair.
+Naptural85 Hi Whitney, Thank you for sharing and I'm very happy to hear you don't have a thyroid problem. I currently suffer from autoimmune hyperthyroidism (Graves Disease) from the age of 17 yrs and I had to cut all my hair off as it was falling out terribly. This is also when i decided to go natural as I was receiving Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment for my thyroid issues and it worked wonderfully. However unfortunately it is an autoimmune problem and i therefore have it for life. I'm 22 yrs now and I am still learning to cope with it and what triggers may cause me to relapse, but I'm very happy you found out the reasons for your symptoms and keep well. Stay healthy and blessed :D
+Naptural85 very informative video..ya learn something new everyday..i never knew about yeast in your stomach wow ima have to google that and about parasites too...im glad you are feeling better
Nap you saved me. Thank you so much!
omg, im literally crying right now. you just described everything i've been having for the past year and a half. i went to doctor after doctor that claimed everything from IBS, bed bug bites, pregnancy, and even cancer. At one point i was going to some type of doctor once a week, ppl even started to think that i had a mental disorder and was making everything up even tho they could see the symptoms. i started the detox and already feel a little better. I just really wanted to say thank you!!! 😃
Wow, this is so sad! It’s crazy how doctors can’t detect these things, and as a result, they blame and put it on the patient and claim THEY’RE the one’s who are crazy merely because, as doctors, they don’t have the technology or brains to detect the underlying issue. Very, very sad.
I too am experiencing the same issues. My hair texture is absolutely insane. I’ve never seen my hair so dry and brittle, and it seems as if this drastic change happened over such a short period of time. My hair won’t even curl in the shower anymore and I do NOT use heat or chemicals on my hair.
I’m positive that this is a diet issue, but I’ve been trying to find the right diet for YEARS now and I still haven’t found one that has improved my health completely. I’m really struggling and I can’t even go to a physician for help! 🤦🏾♀️🤧
I'm an actor (in the The Lion King Tour) and last month I experienced my own bout with yeast accumulation but in my throat. It was due to eating too much sugar (not just fruit sugars, but from sweets). I was hoarse, my vocal muscles were fatigued, singing was just an overall strain. You're absolutely right about everything you've said (not that you need my validation lol).....Thanks for sharing your story.
its funny that i went to the doctor today and he told me the same thing. Thank you for always being truthful
XoXo!! +Shauntelle Straker 💗💗💗
+Naptural85 I went to the doctor and I have the same thing and high blood sugar. (like borderline dietetic) I'm watching what I am eating and taking supplements. thank you for your help!!
dang, I have at least half of those symptoms and never thought anything of it. Luckily I got a doctors appointment on Tuesday and can address these issues that I've been ignoring for years.
Awesome!
+Jamie Ambrose Girl me too!
Loved that you addressed the diet and health aspect of hair issues!! It's not all about what we put on our hair.. I have videos about hair breakage and I always stress your diet being one of the most important things to look into :) Loved this video!
I had so much breakage that I cut my hair. I hope your hair is flourishing now.
it's not harder to receive the vitamin D from the sun it's just that due to the melanin we need more of it and a lot of us are not getting enough sun exposure.
Lo'ree Rhonda I know. I'm always in the house, so I started to go out more (just to exercise) to get some vitamin D
You are absolutely incorrect so stop trying to render medical advice. Hate it when people just say "stuff" just because they "heard it somewhere" and now believe it to be true. They HIDE information in Books....
@@votesudanusa Vitamin D levels can be checked during your next health check. My physician said I had a Vit D yet the last three labs and to this day it continues to show at normal lab values. I do have a new MD who at the last check dropped the test from my check up.
NEW Video is Up! #NaturalHair This video is LOADED with IMPORTANT information! If you've experience sudden hair breaking off, your hair falling out, or an unexplained texture change, this video may help. I also share my detailed story of what I've personally been going through with my hair and health! I hope you enjoy this video and I hope it helps! Watch "Why Your Hair Texture is Changing + Falling Out | My DETAILED Story" at czcams.com/video/N9SGGsG5DEI/video.html XO! 💗
I spend the entire watching your videos and you always slay
+Alaishia Pressley *day
Glad that you are feeling better and thank you for all the helpful information!
I'm really sorry you went through this. :'(
Just continue taking care of yourself Mrs. Whitney, that's the only reason why I continued watching you. Because it's like you have a remedy for everything lol. But be healthy, I'm glad you feel better!!! 🙏🏾💕
Thanks for this vid, my body, hair and emotions have not been the same and I'm extremely moody since I gave birth to my twins. After watching this video I think I might candida because I eat a lot of sugar. I'm scheduling a docs appt tomorrow
omg as you were talking I was just thinking "crap me too....OH crap! Me too!!"
ik i was thinking the same thing! lol
ikr????
Me Too!
this is me too!
seriously though! I'm calling my doc right now
Thank you for shedding light on these issues. A LOT of western doctors are not up to date with these type of issues, so you have to do your own research. There are lots of support groups on FB for some of these issues i.e. adrenal fatigue, candida, etc.
Agreed
+Kalia M same ..... I ordered on Amazon n did my own cleanse I feel 100%better
EBONY SWEETNECTAR which cleanse did you get on Amazon and do you stil feel better 9 months later? Thanks
I'm so grateful that you posted this and decided to be open and honest about your health, because I've been suffering from a lot of the EXACT same symptoms that you were and now I'm researching adrenal fatigue and candida. I'm so ready to have my body and health back! Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I just found out about adrenal fatigue!!! And totally have it! Have been detoxing for the last 4 days and already feel better!!!!
Hey❤️
what did you do ? i think i have it and am not sure where to start
Whitney was like, "Ain't nothing wrong with my vajayjay. Don't try me in my comments." LMBO!
This is very good information . Unfortunately for me, by the time mine was caught my thyroid stopped working (underactive Thyroid). I suffer from Hashimoto Disease which is where your bodies immune system turns on itself and attacks your organs. My body thought my Thyroid was foreign so it attacked and killed it. Thyroid disease is so prevalent, especially in African American women and goes unnoticed because we attest everything to being tired from work/life balance. Listen, I was vitamin D deficient, in extreme pain all over my body, hair falling out (which caused me to go natural), nails brittle and breaking, cholesterol through the roof, iron low and border line diabetic, had a mild stroke at 37. I was a walking stroke, on my way out of here and had no clue. I gained over 40lbs in 90 days (from 130lbs to 178lbs). Constant brain fog, insomnia, migraines and mood swings. it was a terrible time. Praise God that I'm much better now but do still suffer from Insomnia from time to time, brittle nails and brain fog (of course from the lack of sleep). It's been 6 years and i'm finally losing some of the weight , vitamin D is good (still take supplements from time to time), iron is much higher but i have to take Thyroid meds for the remainder of my life. Ladies, take care of yourselves. Don't ignore the signs, go see your doctor.
I hope you get better and get the medical attention you need❤️
Thank you.. I've been on medication for nearly 7 years. things have come a long way.. but still not completely out of the woods. I'm always looking for ways to make myself feel better and this video was awesome information. Inspired me to keep trying new things.
I will keep you in my prayers young lady. Thank you for sharing your testimony and keep the faith.
on FB, there is a page, called Medical Medium, he also has a book out. I has many post and does consultations, about thyroid diseases, hashimoto Diseases, Lyme disease and other diseases and how diet can heal them. I gives detailed information on what herbs to take, what fruits or vegies will help your thyroid and body heal. His book is on Amazon and is availble for Kindle
facebook.com/medicalmedium/?fref=ts&ref=br_tf
+khadija White thank you. have you tried his method?
This video just confirms everything I've been researching. My hair started falling out like crazy and Everything pointed back to gut health. Thanks for the video
Thanks for touching on parasites because people have zero knowledge about it and it's soooo important!
Yup. I've noticed that in America people don't get a 'wash out' as Jamaicans call it (I'm jcan) where you take something and remove any potential parasites. I was so shocked. In my countries every year near the end of summer EVERY kid gets a wash out for the new school year (mainly because we have a lot of fruit trees etc that bloom within the summer) I really couldn't believe it to be honest...
Thank you for
This video. 7 weeks ago I went on a sugar cleanse where I eliminated all added sugars (except fruit but limited fruits to 4 a day). Amazing. My skin, hair, no more cravings, no more white funky tongue, no more tiredness or moodiness and I've thus far lost 12 lbs. I'm still cleansing but am pretty much sure I'll never go back to it. Seeing this video is an eye opener for me.
Did you eat starches?
+Jackie Hopkins I do as long as there is no added sugar or sweeteners , which aren't very many besides certain pretzels and Fritos aren't much.
Proud of your progress so far keep going!
Miss Whitney you have been one of my FAVORITE you tubers for a while now. Now I even have more respect for you - its so very brave to share these personal issues and be willing to help someone else through your suffering. God bless you and glad you are back on track, hair will grow back. Being healthy is a gift most of us take for granted.
Glad you're feeling better! I'll keep you in my prayers
Girl you just helped me realize something. I need to go to the doc thanx
XoXo!!! +BeautyntheKinks 💗💗💗
+Naptural85 I'm so glad you're feeling better, on behalf of you and your family, bless you. Continue to get better. And f.y.i., anyone who may be upset that you didn't upload as much due to your illness can cry a river. Your well-being is much more important than teaching us how to make a new DIY conditioner. CZcams isn't your only responsibility and priority. We're here on this journey and glad you're okay!
+Naptural85 Thank you so much for this video, I too got tested and have a vit D deficiency. Mine is so low I now have to take a vit D prescription once a week, and yes I need to lay off the SUGAR & do the Candida cleanse asap! I've started using the Fem-dolphilus probiotic daily & feeling better already! Yes post the parasite cleanse please! Glad you are feeling better, hang in there! I'm with you!

When you have a symptom like feeling tired, its your body's way of telling you that there is something wrong and please can you fix it, especially when it goes on or you have additional symptoms.
I am not trying to scare anyone, but a friends mother who was a Judge died some years ago of Breast Cancer and all her symptoms were, was that she was feeling a bit tired. She died because she left it too late! I have a cousin 37 who was peeing funny, no other symptoms, Prostate cancer who is alive and well because it was caught very early! All I'm saying is , your symptom could either indicate something minor or serious.
I live in the UK and we have a free health system and stuff still happens. And yes I work in the Health service.
There are alot of natural hair sites available telling you about the miracle hair potion that will grow your hair 10 inches in a week! But if you are short in something, have a chronic disease or condition, or have hormonal problems etc nothing is going to grow your hair 10 inches a work and then what do you do, go on look on another site or complain when in reality, you maybe anaemic or it maybe more serious. Remember your body is a whole ecosystem, nothing works in isolation.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us! As young Black women we often neglect our own health and do just what you said. I'm so glad I watched this video and I am so grateful for you. Much love on this new journey!!!
This video needs a LOVE button!! Infinite gratitude, Whitney!!!
Ms. Whitney! Your freaking awesome, and I'm so glad your feeling much better and figured out what the problem was. Thank God. Thanks for sharing all this info. Please share more about the parasite cleanse and what you eat during that time.
You are so articulate and informative. Thank you.
this sounds SO accurate to my current situation, i thought i was alone😭😭 thanks for sharing.
Wow. I love the way you rattle off symptoms as if you've memorized them. I don't even see you looking at your phone for notes! You must have worked hard to memorize these things... that's wonderful. Thanks for all the great info! I've had a lot of these symptoms.
Intelligent woman, refreshing to watch you.
Thank you. I have notice a few symptoms that you mentioned in your video. You're a very special women. And the wisdom you share through your channel touches me so much, thank you. You are truly a Queen, Sway.
Wow! Very informative. I'd suffered the same systoms and was diagnosed VitD deficiency and thyroid issue. Thank you for being so candid with your personal health issues you may have save someone.😃
GURL!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting this!!!! I am a holistic health coach and I can't tell you how frustrating it can be for me to see people suffering with symptoms like these but don't give any stock AT ALL to the fact that their diet and lifestyle choices are most likely the root cause. AND the frustration of knowing that people don't know how good they can feel and have the belief that they just have to live with feeling bad all the time. I hope that people watch this and realize how powerful they are. And that they can feel great everyday. And that they deserve that!! ❤️❤️❤️
So very informative! Every symptom you spoke about I've experienced! Came back that I had an iron deficiency and am anemic. You would never have thought that the lack of nutrients can affect you hair texture! Also, please update us on the parasite kit! Thanks for sharing Whit!!
TwinGodesses hello, how does anemia affect one’s hair? I was wondering because I’m anemic.
Jazmyne Treasvant I'm anemic too and my hair was falling out. Doctor explained that hair is like a plant it needs water sun and oxygen to survive without proper oxygen flow the plant will wither away at the roots and die. When you're anemic you're not getting enough oxygen flow to your body and your heart has to work about 3 tims harder to make sure you're getting adequate blood flow. So low iron means not enough hemoglobin for oxygen to bond with therefor not enough oxygen to circulate through your body including your hair
Fatumata Gumaneh I wonder if that's why my curls aren't as defined/retain moisture like it used to when I first went natural. I'm sure having high porous hair is part of the reason but probably not the full reason. Have you ever experienced this? Having extremely dry hair that is difficult to retain moisture?
Great video I have lupus so if I woke up with hair on my head I'm happy lol
Aw wow, XoXoXo!! +msdelle22 💗💗💗
Same here @msdelle22. Been dealing with it since 2003. Lupus absolutely sucks
+laundrynotes yes deep condition helps a lot even with color in my hair it helps a lot
+NaturallyBeUTFull yes it does
Yes, you are correct. Most ppl don't know about the association between pain relievers and hair loss. I've suffered from migraines since the age of 13 and popped Advil and Aleve like candy during those dreadful times of migraines. I noticed my hair shedding from the root for years! I tried everything to remedy the issue. Then it hit me, it has to be the meds. I researched it and boom! Now, in order to keep my migraines at bay, I have cut back on my sodium, remain hydrated, eat sweets in moderation and meditate (wiggling my ears and raising my eyebrows allows my scalp to relax and not get so tight). In all honesty, I haven't seen much hair regrowth, but my shedding decrease instantly!!! Im hopeful that my thin spots will come back in but as for now, I'm happy. Anyone who frequently takes pain relievers should be careful. Try lifestyle and diet changes please. If all else fails, try natural cures. Be blessed.
naptural i admire u so much, just when i think you can't get any more authentic and original you come out with a video dedicated to linking hair health and body health.so very insightful, thank you so much !!!
Thanks for being so transparent! Glad that you're health is improving!
I experienced many of these problems. Fatigue, hair breakage, excessive shedding, even started a menstrual cycle again. OMG! on that one because I had a partial hysterectomy 4yrs ago. Turns out it's my thyroid, had to be removed, likely in May. Wonderful and informative video, wush I'd seen it two years ago. TFS!
I've never clicked on a video so quickly! I'm glad you are feeling better!
You described MY LIFE. This is my intervention in due time and season. All I can say is "Thank you & bless you".
I just want to say thank you! I've been having all these symptoms and I ddnt know what was wrong. I'm crying so hard right now because I'm so happy that I can feel better again. You are a heaven sent angel. God bless you and your family! I love you so much girl💁🏾 you are my idol
This was EXTREMELY helpful. My doctor told me I was Vitamin D Deficient as well. I'll be taking the necessary steps :)
This video is SO informative!! Thank you for sharing!! : )
Thank you for posting this. It really helps to not be the only person out there with these issues. I will follow up with my doctor.
Thank you sooo much for this video! It has almost brought me to tears. I have been feeling all out of sought for almost a year. It has been so bad doctors have started to look at me like I am crazy. I already feel relieved knowing its not all in my mind!!
Great information - My hair was doing fine, then I colored it last year and OMG! all hell broke out. My hair dried up, broke off, thinned out and everything. I was so freaking scared I cried to my husband. I am still having issue but it has grown some and thicken up. I am too scared to color it. I do believe my nutrition is off, I take meds for my blood pressure and my age definitely is effecting my hair and hair growth. Also 2 yrs ago I did the Master cleanse and I too seen a couple of parasite in the stool. I thought I was seeing things so I called my hubby in to look and he said it was not what I thought but girlfriend I knew I was not crazy and you just confirmed for me. (Not ashamed to share this either, it just might help someone know they are not alone. Thank you so much for this video. I am going to put int my favs.
Wow!!!!! this was the most important video of all time!!
I keep thinking something is wrong lately. You had me shaking while listening to you. I am not paranoid and I am not over thinking it. Thank you Whitney. I know for sure I need to go see the doctor.
I think you just changed my life right here...My mind is blown. Thank you for this video. You have helped me.
You hit it right on the nail. I'm going through all of those. My hair is changing, falling out, not growing. I did discover that I have a vitamin D deficiency. I'm on 50,000 IU every week. I'm always ridiculously tired, irritable, chest pains, chest pain, brain fog, memory loss, workout hard and eat right and still gain weight, insomnia, joint pain, bloating, etc. I was going to have all the 9 tests that SHOULD be done to test my thyroid too.
I have vitamin D deficiency been suffering from last year only been diagnosed 2 weeks ago. I was in so much pain. I live in not so sunny England so have to be on tablets. but thank God I haven't had hair loss. thank you for sharing 😊
Hello Whitney,
so glad to know that you were aware that there was a problem with in your body and you took the time to find out what was going on . So often we tend to ignore or put things off. Your blogging is informative and can be helpful to others.
I was sick and now I am well! Thanks for sharing! Eating better makes everything so much better. My hair, skin, everything! Thanks for sharing my dear.
Love you Naptural85! Keep educating us. We are listening and watching!!!
XoXo!!! Thank you +DAISY STONE !! So happy to help! 💗💗
Thank you so much for sharing your health issues. I wish I had known 3 years ago that vitamin and mineral deficiencies can cause such havoc in ones life. I experienced all but 3 of the symptoms you mentioned. The foggy brain, loss of productivity because I couldn't think, the night sweats, inability to sleep, and memory loss were horrible!! But when all of these symptoms were followed by an anxiety attack that rendered me so incapable of continuing to drive myself home that I had to call a friend to come get me. I knew then I needed to get help. I thought I was suffering b/c I was pre-menopausal even though I was only 37 at the time!! After a blood & salvia test and nutrition panel test was done on me, I was told I had a severe deficiency in Vit C, D, all the Bs and was anemic. I didn't believe the doctor that I'd start feeling better once I started taking these supplements but within 2 weeks of taking my vitamins consistently, I was a NEW person. All the symptoms disappeared. I cried from relief!! Like you, I pray that sharing my story too will help someone suffering and struggling to figure out what is wrong. I found that I too had to go to a homeopathic doctor as they run more tests (like the salvia and nutrition panel blood test) than just the standard blood tests that regular M.D.'s do.
I know this is old but were all those vitamins prescribed? Or were you able to purchase them without a rx?
For the first 5 minutes of this video, I really believed you were relating my entire life back to me. Thank you for this.
Thanks for sharing Whitney! My eyes are opened.
I'm at around the 4 minute mark and I swear you're pretty much explaining my life entirely. Everything you listed is like exactly how I feel which sucked. Hopefully the end will help.
Everything you're saying... Same thing with me. But mine was hyperthyroidism Graves disease. Went from 140 to 108 in TWO Weeks! I. Better now. I warn Alot of women to check their thyroid. AVOID SALTLY high sodium foods, avoid processed foods, fast food, soda, sugars, etc and excersise. I feel great now. Still on medication three years now... Wanting to get off of it
So glad you're feeling better. May you continue to be well.
Hi Whitney All I have to say is YOU are a gift to the Earth. Stay well and healed!
Vitamin D3 can also strengthen bones & teeth. Also, it can help reverse cavities! It worked for me
Health on fleek!
Wow thank you for posting this! I am having the same symptoms for the past 4 months and didn't know what to do( the tiredness raising a 3 year and itchy scalp was the worst) I will most definitely do a candida testing. This vlog was perfectly timed for me to see, definitely sent by God. Thank you !
Thanks for being so transparent!!! I appreciate your honesty and all the viable information. Just glad your feeling better and you're working toward a better you!!!❤️❤️
I just recently found out that I deal with Premenstrual dysphoric disorder. The symptoms are brutal, depression, moody, suicidal thoughts, the list goes on and on. I am thinking of making this more aware to women because once I learned more about this it made it more easier for me to not allow the symptoms to bother me. Also I suffer from VD deficiency. As soon as I started supplements (Vit D gummies along wiht VIT C). Within a week all symptoms were gone. I had SEVERE teeth sensitivity due to the Vit D deficiency. Thank you for this video Whitney. -Latoija
OMG me too. My GYN will not dignose me with having PMS but rather more so mood swings. Lol thanks for the info
I wonder if that’s what I’m suffering from
Wow this described my entire week. It’s like as I get older, it gets worse :-‘/
So informative!!
Right!
I really hope everything gets figured out, Whitney! I hate to hear that you went through all of that. I applaud your perseverance, and yes, your husband is pretty awesome for his support. That's genuine love :)
So glad you found out what was wrong & that you're doing better. May God keep and protect you & your family. One love💜
Whit!!! I'm so glad you have found what's going on with you! You look amazing and I can't wait to see all you have to share on this journey!
I'm STILL getting test done 😳. I went from Hashimoto Thyroid to Lupus. As of now both of those test came but inconclusive. I will research candidiasis. I will also look into the parasite cleanse. AMAZING video!!! Thank you for sharing! I too have been on this journey of trying to figure out why my over all health has declined. I have always been anemic and was told during all of this testing my vitamin D was low... Things that make you go hmmm. Im starting to think I have early on set menopause 😳
Hi, autoimmune issues tend to happen in clusters. I have RA and Hashimoto's & so does my mom. I hope you don't have either one. Waiting for test results are stressful. New subbie!
I'm glad you're feeling better. Can you make a video detailing what you used for the candida cleanse please? Thank you for sharing your experience.
Hi Whitney! Thank you so much for this informative video! (And your other videos too!) I started wearing my hair natural a couple years go because I live in a dry climate, have had trouble growing my hair past my shoulders since I moved to my state 25 years ago, and because I wanted to be kinder to my hair. Taking care of natural hair is a bit more of an involved process but I'm happy I found your videos (can't wait to try your recipes!) and I'm enjoying learning how to appreciate how my hair truly is rather than "strong-arming" it into submission. I work in the alternative care field but, for some reason, didn't connect my hair issues to physical issues until now. I'm perimenopausal and have been dealing with some of the issues you mentioned. I was also talking with a friend about cleanses last week, including doing a parasite cleanse...you've just confirmed that a cleanse is in order. Thanks tons and thanks for sharing what you do! Blessings!
Hello Whitney, so glad you are feeling better and are on the road to health and healing ❤
Thank you so much about the info. I am going thru something similar. I didn't suffer all the symptoms you had. But I am deficient in vitamin D, do suffer from fatigue, depression, the hair texture change and I am gaining a lot of weight. I do eat like a pig. I get depressed and for the stupidest reason I feel better eating junk. I will be checking what you share more about how your diet is going for the candida diet, PLEASE, post more and THANK YOU!!! I do feel like my body will shut down. My hair has not reached past shoulder length for the past 10 years that I have been "letting it grow on its own". I just thought it was part of my DNA. Lately, my stomach has been upset for a while to the point where I think it is normal to have a loose bowl movement. Do you have that? I was going "yes, yes, yes, no, yes, yes," while you listed the symptoms, Thank you!!
So many of the symptoms cited could also be anemia and indicators. Please have your hemoglobin levels checked as well, ladies. I appreciate the health awareness in this video,
That was what was wrong with me severe anemia. It broke my hair and made it frizzy and very dry, even in protective style's.
JazzWife .. I was JUST thinking this, these symptoms are very close to those of iron deficiency. Which is very common in black women.
What about the parasites tho?
I've been waiting for this video. I've been having similar issues and went to a rheumatologist. She determined it wasn't an auto-immune issue, but I had no answers. I'm going to take these issues back to my primary care physician. Thank you!!
You have no idea how happy this made me! Happy you're feeling better boo! Love you!
I suffer from excess candida in the gut also. Take a teaspoon of baking soda and add 8 oz of water to it in a glass and drink it. Your symptoms, brain fog, blurry vision, fatigue, foot pain (lactic acid build up), general imbalance due to excess acid in your system will IMMEDIATELY go away. This does not take weeks or months for symptoms to be reversed, this is IMMEDIATE !!! I couldn't believe it !! You all can research it for yourselves. Be blessed and stay well to all.
Kennedi is outchere hello. Please I need your help. Can you please help wot your WhatsApp number. I need help
Baking soda, really? Isn't that extremely gross?
How many times do You drink it?
do you think that you could do a "what i eat" video to give some of us an idea on how to start?
Thanks for getting the conversation started. I've had a run with Candida and PATM and it's very difficult to live with and recognize so it can be treated. I believe this video will help a lot of people and we need more like it
Whitney... Thank you SO much you have no idea how much this video helped me. I've had the same exact symptoms for about a year and a half. My fatigue is excessive and I've visited my doctor to have a blood test done and he said that there's nothing wrong with me. I knew that me being as tired as I am isn't normal. The mood swings, depression and anxiety soon followed and I've felt hopeless. I'm going to the doctors now and I'll be sure to mention Candida. This sounds spot on. THANK YOU.
i am addicted to sugar one of the worse poisons out there :(
Me too girl
+Annmarie busu Me three.
+Annmarie busy I'm working on my sugar addiction. It's a hard process but I'm working on this daily
+Annmarie busu me too
Awwww it's okay. You can slowly work your way to cutting out processed: refined sugar. It takes time, but I recommend giving it a try.
Never been a fan of fad diets and such, I believe in eating what you want but 'moderation' is key
I did a grape juice detox. A week of nothing but grape juice. I can't remember how it affected my body, but it sure was a detox. Also, there's nothing wrong with fad diets (as long as you aren't causing more harm to your body than good- like those with diabetes.). It's a privilege to be a sociological factor in society.
THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING NEARLY EVERY SYMPTOM! I JUST ASSUMED MY HAIR WAS FALLING OUT DUE TO STRESS. I HAVE ALSO BEEN GETTING MY CYCLE TWICE A MONTH AND ALSO BLAMED IT ON STRESS. I told my doctor about it and he just brushed it off on stress as well. As I was watched this video I realized that my eating habits, nutrient intake, and sleeping habits were not beneficial to my hair at all. This video saved my hair life. My was coming out in PATCHES and this happened to me before during my teens when my hair was permed. So seeing this happen again... I'm think it might be stress, iron deficiency, and etc. But this video is truly life saving! Thank you Whitney! I know my hair will thank you also once it comes back to life!
I'm so glad you discussed this subject matter in your video. I have had an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) and am on medication...but my hair texture has changed so much. Split ends and breakage are my biggest two issues. I am trying atm to work towards stronger healthier hair which I took for granted for YEARS.
It sounds very similar to what I went through before I realized I was allergic to gluten.....tiredness, bloating, weight gain, yes more hair breakage, joint pain, bowel problems etc. Very good points.
update? Im also gluten sensitive.
Wow. I never realized how connected the body is. I never think of my hair as a reflation of how healthy my body is
Xo!! Yes!! Crazy how everything is connected +No Madge !! There's so much more too that I cut out just for time-sake and because I didn't want to get too much into it, but yes! It's amazing!! 💗💗💗
So sorry you had to go through all of that. Your symptoms sounded so much like my lupus and Fibromayalgia. I made those same changes you made and I'm getting better everyday. When I pray I will remember you, be well! Thanks for sharing.
Glad to know you are feeling better!
I have a vitamin d deficiency as well, darker skinned people generally do because we have a natural sunblock, and with the modern day change of society being outside is rare
Yeah I agree it's important for Black people to get enough sun as well so we don't have low vitamin D. I don't want vitiligo it's horrible.
So deficiency of vitamin D is the reason for hair texture change ???
That parasite thing has really freaked me out! I would love to try the cleanse you mentioned but ewwww, you see them? Omg. 😐
Thank you for sharing this information with everyone! You are the first vlogger that I've heard talk about this stuff. I've been seeing a Naturopathic doctor for a couple of years and it has been very insightful and helpful!
I almost stopped watching because I assumed what you were describing was a thyroid problem and I am soooo glad that I listened. I first heard about candida albicans about 25 years ago from a chiropractor in California and not many people were aware that it existed and still don't to this day, it is not talked about by medical doctors and they are hush hush about it yet each time we are prescribed an antibiotic that yeast in our body grows, so as children are given that good tasting pink "amoxicillin" we are creating a problem within them and the same goes for us. We should all do a candida cleanse. I am happy that you have shared this and I hope your hundreds of thousands viewers quadruple and listen to this ever so important message. Blessings to you and your beautiful family!
OMFG!!!! This video could not have come at a better time! I know exactly what you went through. I cut out gluten from my vegan diet too! However, I didn't know that even fruit sugars would cause the candida to flare up. I guess I'm going to have to cut my smoothies out too. Do you have a video about what you did exactly during your candida cleanse to make it go away?
My theory on why a persons texture can change too is change in diet ie. removing complete protein from your diet. Hair is made up of protein. So my theory is at this point you are seeing the after affects of removing complete protein from your diet. Maybe if you put seafood back in and whey protein? I love your videos they have been so much help to me. Love you! @Naptural85
Her symptoms started three years ago, has nothing to do with missing protein, which you don't on a proper vegan diet. She only became vegan about a year, year send a half ago.
Whitney, I am having a lot of the similar issues with my body. Thanks for being so open and honest. You have helped me out a lot.
first, you were giving life, hunteeee (as they say) now you're saving lives!!!! you are beyond amazing! made my appointment with my doctor. thanks for being you!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
I will say that when I went raw vegan back in 2007, it was the worst thing for me ever. I lasted nine months before I had to stop due to symptoms: hair loss, painful periods, horrible moods, etc. I was still in CA and eating this way was super easy for me so I was a "good girl" and was very strict with i. I eventually realized vegan (lack of clean animal protein) was not good for my body, no matter how much "vegan protein" I stuffed down my throat on a daily basis. When I added organic, natural, grass fed, wild animal protein, the symptoms went away. I realized that not all "good" diets are good for everyone. Paleo works best for me and my health, especially since I have autoimmune disorders. I've been gluten free since 2005 and I can't imagine going back. I take D3 on a daily basis too. I live in the Pacific NW and we don't get a lot of sun the majority of the year.
Keep up the good work, Whitney!
I had issues w/ being vegan too. For some reason my body feels so much better w/ lean meat. I want to go back to plant based, but I have a lot of research I need to do so I can be successful plant based.
+sweetiepie9411 I figure if it doesn't work for me, it doesn't work for me. I tried cutting back on meat recently again and it was a disaster, LOL! I lift heavy weights these days and my body needs animal protein to successfully renew itself. I cant eat dairy, soy, legumes and too many nuts are not good for my digestion. I just have to be mindful of where it comes from, how its sourced, etc.
Alexia It's just so hard because vegans won't accept this. I care about animals so it's hard for me.
+sweetiepie9411 I don't need the vegan cult to accept me. My health is first and foremost. Sourcing the right products can be a challenge though. The last thing I want to eat is something from inhumane factory. My husband was a farmer growing up and having that connection and knowing where your food comes from is very important. We (the general "we" as westerners) consume a great deal of imported products without much thought where they came from, who cultivated them and how the people are living. Bananas and other tropical fruit, sugar, cocoa, coffee, all have someone's blood on their hands at one point or another.
Alexia You're definitely 100% right and vegans fail to realize how unethical their diets truly are. I've told some of them time and time again. I also care about the environment so I wanna do my best and eat in a way that's sustainable, but it's hard. Like you said finding animal products sourced decently can be difficult. I'm also worried about seafood quality, since the oceans are polluted. Anywho, like you said I have to put my health first and that includes eating some animal products right now.
I have 100% of what you just described at the end of your video. Not 3 or 4,I HAVE THEM ALL!!! The fatigue is horrible, the brain fog as well. I have scabs in my head, my scalp itches no matter how much oil and moisture I use, constant headaches. I cannot eat at all when I wake up, usually takes me about 3-5hrs before I have an appetite. I don't sleep much or well which leaves me binging candy bars, cereal and ice cream because I'm bored and depressed that everyone is asleep but me. I just felt like I was alone and this was my life. I can't view my hair anymore past 1 inch. It just always breaks off, dry and brittle. Omgosh I can't believe you described everything I'm going through. What kind of doctor do I go to to get the "tests" you where talking about to check my vitamins ect?
Try a dermatologist who specialize in trichology. You should go to your doctors office and get a checkup ask them to test your blood and stress level. Ask for homeopathic remedies first and then some prescribed medicine to help with the diagnosis they give you. Try getting a psychologists to talk to it might help with your mood and most therapists are affordable or cost nothing based on your insurance so search and find one best for you. I know that was a lot of info but I hope it helps, get well & I'll be praying for you😊🙏🏾❤️
+Chels4hair A Dermatologist does hair? I always thought they where just skin! Thank you, I'm definitely making an appointment Monday. I always feels so fatigued, I feel like such a burden to my fiance because I just feel lazy! I'm tired of buying hair, I just want my own. It's very depressing and I don't feel pretty at all anymore.. Thank you so much for your advice, I'm definitely going to call! I'll let you know!
+Tima boyd +Tima boyd Yea I a lot of people don't know dermatologist specializes in hair, I want to be a dermatologist who specialize in hair(trichology) and please remember to tell me how it goes. I think your very pretty, I know it's silly but when I don't feel confident I listen to the son Your such a beautiful girl by Trin-I-tee +Naptural85
*song
+Chels4hair I did it! It's candida!! I have leaky gut! I'm sorry, I'm in tears as I'm typing this to you.. I've been on the diet now for 5 days.. No sugar, dairy, yeast, bread, gluten, flour, rice and a host of other NO NO 's, I think I can eat air, yes, yes, air is ok! Lol... But, in 5 days, I have energy!! I got up, cleaned the kitchen, studied for 5hrs,took my dog for a 30 minutes walk and play.. That's just 5 days on this diet! I can even tell the difference in my morning breath. My tongue isn't coated. I'm just so thankful right now to this video and YOU!! Thank you so so much! God bless you both! It's been 15 yrs! Even my chronic illness that no doctor could figure out, this is why. I'm on the road to recovery!
I've watched your channel for years and I've never made a comment here. I'm glad you're ok but you had me worried at the beginning of the video. Thanks for sharing this I think I learned some things about myself here.
I don't know how I got so lucky to stumble upon this video but I really needed this today. I've always thought that it was normal and I would beat myself up for half of those symptoms that I knew I had but thought were normal. Thank you so much. Now a trip to the doctor is needed severely
