What makes Alopecia Areata different from regular hair fall?
+

Unlike typical hair shedding, Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune hair loss condition where the immune system mistakenly targets hair follicles, leading to sudden, patchy hair loss. Regular hair fall is usually linked to temporary factors like stress, diet, or seasonal change, whereas Alopecia signals a deeper immune imbalance. At iThrive, we don’t just look at hair loss as a cosmetic issue,  we explore the root causes like gut health, inflammation, and immune triggers that are often missed in standard care.

Why is my hair falling out even though my lab tests are “normal”?
+

This is one of the most common and frustrating experiences. Your lab results may show everything within the “reference range,” but still not reflect the functional imbalances going on inside your body. Hidden factors like gut dysbiosis, low-grade viral infections, mold exposure, or hormonal imbalances can be at play. At iThrive, we use advanced root-cause testing to dig deeper, helping clients who’ve been dismissed elsewhere finally uncover what’s really behind their hair loss.

What are the hidden causes of hair loss that most people overlook?
+

People often associate hair loss with just genetics or age, but functional root causes can include:

  • Unresolved gut infections
  • Nutritional deficiencies like zinc, B12, and iron
  • Hormonal shifts or thyroid dysfunction
  • Environmental toxins like mold and heavy metals
  • Chronic inflammation and autoimmune flare-ups.

At iThrive, we specialize in identifying these often missed hair fall reasons, using personalized protocols that go far beyond conventional treatment methods.

Why do conventional treatments for Alopecia fail to give lasting results?
+

Most standard treatments such as steroid creams, injections, or immunosuppressants focus on symptom management. They don’t address why the immune system is attacking the hair in the first place. This is why many people experience recurring flare-ups. iThrive’s Functional Healing approach focuses on retraining the immune system, reducing inflammation naturally, and resolving underlying stressors, so results are not just visible but sustainable.

What is iThrive’s approach to reversing autoimmune hair loss naturally?
+

iThrive follows a root-cause, functional medicine lens. Instead of giving a generic solution, we:

  • Run lab-based testing for gut, hormones, toxins, and nutrients
  • Tailor nutrition, supplements, and detox plans to your bioindividual needs
  • Support emotional and nervous system healing
  • Provide chemical-free, curated hair and body care products

This whole-body approach has helped hundreds recover from hormonal and autoimmune hair loss,  by giving the body what it actually needs to heal itself.
