The Functional Medicine Approach To Hair Loss

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, InsideTracker, and
Pique Tea. Hair loss is a commonly experienced issue and often
signals something deeper going on in the body. And as there are
many different types of hair loss, there are also many various
drivers of hair loss, including hormonal imbalance, metabolic
dysfunction, or even autoimmune disease. This is why Functional
Medicine practitioners look at gut and metabolic health, nutrient
status, and much more to find the root cause of hair loss. In
today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Elizabeth Boham, Dhru Purohit, and
Dr. Cynthia Li about the many different types of hair loss and
their associated underlying causes.   Dr. Elizabeth Boham is a
physician and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at The
UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and
lecturing, she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals
of optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of
nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training
other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing. Dhru Purohit is a

Dr. Cynthia Li received her medical degree from the University of
Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. She has practiced as

Clinic serving the homeless. Her personal health challenges led her
