Today, I answer the next round of listener questions, both from the podcast and those I’ve been asked to address more personally on YouTube. Join me for this episode, where we dive into an honest and authentic exploration through the lens of traditional, allopathic medicine, of why women lose their hair during perimenopause and menopause.
