Many people are getting gray hair just way too early. Today, two really important things to prevent premature graying. It's not all genetics; genetics do play a part, but there's also something called epigenetics, are things that you can do which are above your genes. One is the actual pigment in the hair that gives you the coloring and the enzymes to allow that pigment to occur are dependent on a trace mineral called copper. If you are deficient in copper, you might have a tendency to get gray hair prematurely. 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 the solution is to reduce stress but in the meantime increase copper from foods; I don't necessarily recommend taking a copper supplement by itself. I'd recommend that you try to get it from the foods

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.

Anxiety has a direct relationship on your skin. When you are anxious or stressed, what happens is your body releases more cortisol, which is an anxiety or stress related hormone. When it does this, that means your skin cannot heal as well. Your barrier is compromised and therefore you're going to notice that you may be more susceptible to rashes, breakout, irritation. So in essence, when you're stressed out, your skin becomes much more vulnerable to eruptions, rashes, dryness, irritation. So it's important to de stress your self, manage your anxiety, get your rest, follow a good program, good routine, and keep that cortisol level under control.

There are two ways to get an iron deficiency. One is to be deficient in iron, which beef liver can quickly resolve. The other is to be deficient in copper, which prevents iron from properly oxygenating red blood cells and feeding hair. Beef liver contains copper. Beef liver also contains zinc in the right ratios.

Iron, a corrosive metal, can cause oxidative damage and inflammation when there's too much in the body. If this iron is in the brain cells, it can lead to cell destruction. This is a new discovery, leading researchers to focus on corrosive iron in the brain. While iron is essential and found in foods like chocolate, balance is key. Excess iron, or the body's inability to eliminate it due to issues like liver detox problems, can cause oxidative stress. It's recommended to test ferritin levels, total iron binding capacity, and iron saturation rates annually via blood work.

Cortisol, a hormone released during stress, suppresses the immune system, allowing pathogens and viruses to cause problems. Stress essentially puts the immune system to sleep, potentially causing viruses to emerge from remission, especially after major losses. In these situations, vitamins and good nutrition may be ineffective due to the overriding impact of stress.

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.

As we age, weakened mitochondria contribute to free radical damage and tissue destruction, accelerating aging. This manifests as fine lines and wrinkles, thinner skin, weaker hair, slower nail growth, poor exercise recovery, and loss of muscle and bone. This is a byproduct of oxidative stress within the body. Consuming fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices provides antioxidants. These antioxidants help with the oxidative process and restore the mitochondria.

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.

In 1957, a study on turkeys showed that a copper deficiency led to a high death rate due to ruptured aneurysms. Adding copper to their diet prevented any deaths. Copper deficiency can cause gray hair, skin issues, and varicose veins. Ignoring these signs can lead to serious health problems like aneurysms. Even famous figures like Albert Einstein suffered from this issue. It's crucial to address copper deficiency to prevent serious health complications.

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.

Vitamin C is highly concentrated in the adrenal glands and acts as a cofactor for catecholamines, which include neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and adrenaline, as well as steroid hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone. The adrenal glands are involved in managing stress, which leads to increased oxidation, making vitamin C essential for producing adrenal hormones, neurotransmitters, and serving as an antioxidant. A key symptom of adrenal dysfunction is fatigue, which also occurs with vitamin C deficiency, as seen in scurvy. As stress levels rise, the body's need for vitamin C increases.

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.

So cortisol can increase the production of sebum, which is the oily substance that our skin produces. And when sebum goes into overdrive, it can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Cortisol can also be a silent accomplice behind premature aging. So when your cortisol levels high, they can break down collagen and elastin, which are the vital proteins that keep our skin looking firm, youthful. And when they start to break down, wrinkles, fine lines, they become more prominent, and your skin may lose some of its own natural elasticity.

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.
