Be careful with hair growth supplements containing iodine or kelp.

Kelp is a natural source of iodine, and while iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, more isn’t necessarily better.

If you have Graves’ disease (an autoimmune thyroid condition that causes an overactive thyroid), excess iodine can aggravate hyperthyroidism and potentially worsen thyroid symptoms.

Considering thyroid dysfunction itself can contribute to hair loss, adding high-dose iodine without knowing what’s happening with your thyroid is not a clever move.

I’m Lindsay, a degree-qualified naturopath with 18 years of clinical experience. I help women investigate what’s driving their hair loss through appropriate functional testing, nutritional assessment and personalised treatment plans.

Because hair loss isn’t something you fix by throwing a handful of trending supplements at it. And sometimes, the ingredients marketed to support hair growth aren’t appropriate for everyone.

Always check what’s actually in your hair supplements. 🤎

Comment WOMBAT and I’ll send you my free supplement guide,

These are the things I’d be looking at first:

🩸 Insulin and blood sugar regulation
⚖️ Androgens, including testosterone and SHBG
🔬 Zinc status
💊 What happened when you came off the pill?

Acne is often an inside job. Skincare has its place, but it can’t address underlying hormonal or metabolic factors contributing to your breakouts.

Finding more hair in your brush lately? Don’t panic just yet. 🍂

Your hair has seasons too.

Research suggests hair shedding follows seasonal patterns, with a larger shedding peak in late summer/autumn and a smaller one in spring.

Losing around 50–100 hairs a day is normal, but how do you know when it’s more than seasonal shedding?

🌱 Potential signs of seasonal shedding:
- Shedding evenly across your scalp.
- A little white bulb at the root (a club hair, not the follicle).
- Your ponytail still feels roughly the same thickness.
- Shedding settles within a couple of months.

🚩 Signs worth investigating:
- Shedding continues beyond 3–6 months.
- Your part is widening or more scalp is visible.
- Bald patches or lots of hair breakage.
- An itchy, sore or inflamed scalp.
- Fatigue, heavy periods or constantly feeling cold.

If your shedding isn’t settling, it might be time to investigate iron status, thyroid function, zinc, vitamin D and hormones.

Comment TANGO for my testing guide.

Going grey earlier than expected? Should you take copper?

Copper plays a role in hair pigmentation, but that doesn’t mean you need to supplement.

Zinc and copper interact, and high doses of zinc over time can reduce copper absorption. But you can’t assume you’re deficient just because you’re going grey.

In clinic, I’m looking at your overall nutritional status, not guessing based on one symptom. Premature greying can have multiple contributing factors, and true copper deficiency is relatively uncommon.

And be careful with copper supplements. Too much can be harmful, so don’t add another supplement without assessing whether you actually need it.

70k people. WHAT. 🥹

If you’re new here, hi. I’m Lindsay, a degree-qualified naturopath, founder of Sanatio Naturopathy. I’ve spent 18 years in clinical practice helping people make sense of their health.

I talk a lot about acne, hormones, hair loss, PMOS and gut health. But why I care about health goes beyond this.

I care about people being taken seriously; access to healthcare, the food we eat, the environment we live in and the systems that shape our health.

I’m interested in evidence and traditional medicine . Helping you understand your body, recommending what’s useful, not selling another 15 things you don’t need.

I’m a naturopath, I’m also a realist. I like coffee, enjoy my life, and don’t turn wellness into a full-time job.

I also care that healthcare is accessible to everyone. Health is political, if you like it or, no I won’t buy Isreal Dates, eat nestle chocolate, buy Thorne products. Choices we make for health and spend our money support those businesses and politics. Yes I will talk about Pauline Hanson, the mid-terns, Australian gas, the Uyghurs, feminism, women’s right to health care pro choice.

So welcome. Real health advice, you’re in the right place. Bigger conversations also happen here.

🤍

Not every health trend deserves your money. 🙃

Collagen gummies, greens powders, berberine being called “nature’s Ozempic” and whey protein when you’re struggling with acne.

Some of these have their place, but the marketing often gets way ahead of the evidence.

As a naturopath, I’m all for supplements when they’re actually needed. I’m just not a fan of buying things because TikTok says you need them.

Been told your iron is low but been a bit slack with your supplements? Here’s why it matters.

Low iron can mean fatigue, brain fog, poor exercise tolerance, low mood and hair shedding. Iron supports oxygen transport, energy production, immune function and normal brain function.

The type of iron, dose and timing matter, and alternate-day dosing may suit some people. Most importantly, work out why your iron is low and recheck your levels rather than supplementing blindly.

Saw palmetto vs pumpkin seed oil for hair loss 🌿

Saw palmetto may help inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT, an androgen that can contribute to hair follicle miniaturisation.

Pumpkin seed oil may also influence DHT-related pathways and contains fatty acids and phytosterols that may support hair health.

So which would I choose? For some clients with androgen-related hair thinning, I’d consider both together.

Stop spending $$$$$ on shampoos and serums before checking what might be contributing to your hair loss.

Ferritin, insulin, thyroid function and what happened 3 months ago can all offer important clues.

Hair loss is rarely as simple as finding the right product.

Comment ALPHA for my hair loss supplement guide.

Thinning hair around your crown, acne, oily skin or facial hair?

Androgens could be contributing.

Support may include zinc, saw palmetto, reishi and topical rosemary, while addressing potential drivers like insulin resistance and stress.
