Stop Treating Hair Loss Like a Scalp Problem

Johanna Dahlman treats hair loss the way autoimmune work actually works: the scalp is not the problem. We talk through the blind spots even functional practitioners miss, why minoxidil and other hair-loss fixes so often rebound, and what changes when you stop chasing a shampoo and start lining up the rest of the body.

Show Notes

I sat down with Johanna Dahlman, the Alopecia Angel, because she treats hair the same way I treat autoimmunity. The label on the scalp is not the disease. Johanna reversed her own alopecia areata after years of appointments that either piled on pharmaceuticals or told her to live with it. In this episode she names the blind spots even functional doctors miss, why minoxidil is a lifelong trap with rebound shedding, and why hair is the whipped cream, not the cake. If your hair is thinning with Hashimoto's, postpartum, or another autoimmune label, this one is for you. Stop treating it like a shampoo problem.
