High levels of cortisol, as in stress, deplete copper because cortisol uses a lot of copper enzymes. So in other words, more stress equals more demand for copper equals more loss of copper. And when you run out of copper and you don't have enough enzyme, that enzyme is called tyrosinase to make this melanin to keep your natural color in your hair, things start to go gray. So how does this apply to you? Well, stress. You probably even experience the more stress that you have, the more gray hairs you might find on your head. So of course the solution is to do whatever you can to reduce stress, but in the meantime as you're doing that there's other things you can do to increase copper like eat more foods higher in copper.

Iron deficiency is really just a copper deficiency. It's kinda disguised differently, so they put you on these poisonous iron pills, which actually make you worse over time. So what I would say is try Shilichot instead, and you should be pretty much balanced out. Anemia also can be resolved with Shilkshot. And also when you're lacking copper, you can do things like lion's mane, bee pollen, or raw meat. Those are all high in copper and those can help balance you out. So they confuse you. They tell you you've got this, and you're like, oh my god. I eat all this meat, but I have an iron deficiency. Think about that. Like, it's it's just straight confusion is what it is. Get into blood work, and your blood work changes every two minutes. They also test you while you're fasted for your blood work.

Your nutritional status plays a huge role in your whole body health and oftentimes hair loss is a symptom of poor nutrition. So here are five nutrients that support healthy hair. First up is vitamin a, which helps the scalp produce sebum, which moisturizes your hair, thus keeping your hair healthy and shiny looking. Next up are b complex vitamins, which help to create red blood cells, carry oxygen and nutrients to the scalp to the hair follicles. Vitamin C is number four, and this is the all important antioxidant, the most widely used antioxidant in the entire body protecting your body from oxidative stress. And lastly, vitamin d, which helps to create new hair follicles. This is one that's harder to get from your diet, so it's important to supplement with vitamin D and also get sunshine on your skin so your body makes vitamin D.

I don't necessarily recommend taking a copper supplement by itself. I'd recommend that you try to get it from the foods. However, you could take a copper supplement, but you have to make sure that it also has other trace minerals, especially zinc in there because zinc and copper work together. You never wanna just take like a standalone trace mineral with copper, and the ratios need to be correct too. You usually need like a one to 10 ratio. One copper to 10 zinc. So in other words, you don't wanna take a lot of copper. You just wanna take sufficient amounts. Now before I get into the foods for that, let me just explain this other thing that's equally as important, and that is basically age, the aging process. What happens when you age? You get this accumulation of hydrogen peroxide that builds up in the hair shaft. And hydrogen peroxide causes like a bleaching effect of your hair.

And we also have another thing in liver called biotin. I've already talked about that. Biotin will help increase the structure of the hair, the shaft, so your hair becomes thicker, stronger, more elastic, fuller look, as well as the growth of hair itself. Getting Biotin from grass fed liver is way better than getting it from a supplement. If you had an antibiotic and then all of a sudden your hair starts becoming a problem, then you need more biotin or actually you need more grass fed liver. Anyway, I wanted to keep this video real short, I wanted to give you some really important foods for the hair

Nutritional status impacts overall health, and hair loss can indicate poor nutrition. Vitamin A helps the scalp produce sebum, moisturizing hair. B complex vitamins create red blood cells, carrying oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles. Biotin, a B complex vitamin, prevents dry, brittle, thinning hair by stimulating keratin production and supporting new follicle growth. Vitamin C, an antioxidant, protects against oxidative stress and helps produce collagen, important for healthy hair, skin, and nails. Vitamin D helps create new hair follicles and is best obtained through supplementation and sunshine.

In 2009, the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology investigated the root cause of hair graying. They claimed graying is caused by a massive buildup of hydrogen peroxide due to wear and tear of hair follicles. The peroxide blocks the normal synthesis of melanin, which is hair's natural pigment.

Hair color comes from melanocytes, which are created from stem cells directly contacting the hair root within the hair follicle. Researchers initially explored autoimmune and inflammatory causes, but these were ruled out. High cortisol levels were also investigated, but graying still occurred even after adrenal gland removal and stress exposure. The key finding was that chronic stress causes an elevation of noradrenaline, a neurotransmitter related to the fight-or-flight response. Noradrenaline exposure causes the stem cells to migrate away from the hair root and into the skin. This loss of stem cells leads to a loss of melanocytes, resulting in the inability to maintain hair pigmentation.

The speaker shares tips on reversing gray hair, outlining a daily, weekly, and monthly protocol. The first step involves wearing a red light therapy cap every morning to increase blood flow and stimulate hair follicle activity. Next, a topical is applied to the scalp daily, similar to Rogaine or Minoxidil 5%, but with additional ingredients. To enhance the benefits of topicals, microneedling is performed. The speaker also advises being gentle with hair, avoiding harsh combing or pulling to protect the follicles.

Three everyday habits can trigger hair loss: ultra-processed foods, refined carbohydrates, and stress. Processed foods can lead to dandruff, stopping hair growth and regrowth, and can promote obesity and insulin resistance, both of which can promote hair loss. Too many refined carbohydrates can be problematic, but being too low carb for too long can also lead to hair loss and hair thinning because of low thyroid functioning. Reducing stress and getting enough sleep is one of the best ways to ensure that your hair doesn't fall out. Minimizing these factors can stop hair thinning.

Like one molecule of catalase can break down a million molecules of hydrogen peroxide in less than a second. What happens when you age? You get this accumulation of hydrogen peroxide that builds up in the hair shaft. And hydrogen peroxide causes like a bleaching effect of your hair. There is an enzyme that naturally, breaks down hydrogen peroxide very quickly actually. It's called catalase. But before you go out and buy another supplement with catalase, I don't recommend that. I recommend eating foods high in catalase which I'll explain in a minute. Catalase breaks hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen. So by having enough catalase in your body, you can slow down this hydrogen peroxide phenomenon that occurs with aging. You can get catalase from grass fed beef liver, vegetables, especially, cruciferous vegetables, and sprouts or microgreens are loaded with catalase.

Hair is dead keratin protein, colorless, and made flexible by overlapping scales. Pigment in the cortex determines hair color: abundant pigment results in black hair, less pigment in brown or red hair, and no pigment in white hair. Hair grows about six inches annually from a living root. Balding is caused by reduced hormone levels. Each follicle has a muscle to raise and lower hair for temperature regulation. Sebum, an oily lubricant from hair glands, prevents hair from drying. Dandruff is dead cells caused by a yeast that eats sebum and irritates the scalp.

One should eat one meal a day, avoid sugary foods, lift weights, and eat mostly plants. Managing psychological stress is important because high cortisol levels from stress are linked to chronic illness and accelerated gray hair. Stress can cause biological aging. While reversing gray hair isn't routine, it's possible because cells that make hair pigment can be reinvigorated. Aging is not unidirectional and can be driven forwards and backwards at will in a lab. Certain lifestyle changes can slow down or even reverse aging by a couple of years.

Oxalates, lectins, phytates, omega-6s, mycotoxins, and histamines are significant factors hindering health. To improve longevity and well-being, avoid seed oils, grains, and fake meat. While some seed oils can be beneficial, most, like canola and corn oil, are harmful. Grains contain phytates that inhibit mineral absorption, leading to deficiencies. Historically, grains were processed to reduce these anti-nutrients, but modern diets often overlook this. White rice is a better option due to its low phytic acid content. Mineral depletion is a major concern, exacerbated by soil degradation and glyphosate use. Essential minerals like zinc and copper are crucial; an imbalance can lead to deficiencies. For instance, excess zinc can cause copper deficiency, leading to issues like gray hair. Magnesium is another vital mineral, often lacking in diets, especially when consuming high-oxalate foods like kale. Supplementation is necessary in today's toxic environment, as nutrient-depleted food cannot provide adequate minerals. The importance of fat-soluble vitamins, particularly vitamin D and K2, is emphasized for mineral absorption. The concept of "slope of the curve biology" suggests that less effort can yield better results in health and fitness, advocating for efficient biohacking techniques. Stress management, energy levels, and cognitive function are key areas of focus for improving overall health. The discussion highlights the need for resilience in a world filled with toxins and stressors. Ultimately, achieving optimal health requires understanding and addressing mineral deficiencies, adopting effective biohacking strategies, and fostering a supportive community.
