Struggling With Weight—and Noticing Hair Thinning Too?

Do you feel like you’ve tried everything—dieting, exercising, the latest trends—and yet the results never last?
Worse still, is your hair starting to thin or shed unexpectedly along the way?
You may find yourself asking:
What am I doing wrong that I keep gaining weight?
Why do diets seem to work for others but not for me?
Will I always feel this way when I look in the mirror?

It's NOT about Willpower!

When your body is in balance, it naturally regulates weight and hair growth. On the flip side, when your body is out of balance, both your weight and hair health are among the first things to suffer. It’s NOT all about willpower—it’s about addressing the root causes!

To regain balance, think 80% nutrition and 20% lifestyle.

Top 5 Reasons for Weight Challenges (and Hair Loss)

1. Inflammatory Foods: The foods you’re eating may be triggering inflammation, which disrupts metabolism and damages hair follicles.

2. Gut and Hair Health Connection: Poor nutrient absorption can weaken your metabolism and hair health.

3. Stress Response: Chronic stress leads to fat storage and pushes hair follicles into the resting phase, causing thinning and shedding.

4. Metabolic Imbalance: A sluggish system may hoard fat instead of using it for energy—slowing your metabolism and hair cycle.

5. Nutritional Deficiencies: Diets that restrict essential nutrients like protein, iron, and zinc can weaken hair and stall your progress.

Fad Diets and Rapid Weight Loss
Can Sabotage Your Success

Jumping from one diet to the next or following extreme low-calorie plans may feel like progress, but these fads wreak havoc on your metabolism, HAIR, and overall health. Nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, and hormonal disruptions create a vicious cycle that’s hard to escape.

The first step? Recognize that weight challenges and hair thinning are symptoms of deeper imbalances. By uncovering your unique root causes, you can finally find relief and restore your health.

“While weight loss is important, what's more important is the quality of food you put in your body - food is information that quickly changes your metabolism and genes.” ~ Dr. Mark Hyman

Since working with Julie, No signs of active Crohns at all! Whoot!! I’m really happy about losing 20+ pounds without starving myself and learning to eat what my body needs and requires. I lost 1.5 inch on my thighs, hips and waist - dropped 3 pant sizes. My energy is super!

Through working with Julie, I have eliminated Candida from my GI test and have corrected a moderate case of dysbiosis (loosing 30 pounds in the process!). I also have lots less pain associated with inflammation and no more acid-reflux.
