Over the past month or so I've been losing like a handful of hair a day. It's getting really dry and the hair that ends up in my hand or in the brush is really, really dry and dead-er(lol for lack of better description)

- I haven't really changed any way I wash it..which is maybe twice a week and I use Castile soap and Avalon Organics conditioner (Not the best, but best I can find)

- My diet..I've been eating more fruit than usual. Although not really been balanced or 100% raw either. Im addicted to apples. lol.

- Unlikely it's protein..But maybe I could use more of that Nutiva Hemp Protein for the amino acids..

- Low on EFAs is possible.. I quit nuts/seeds a while ago because I tend to binge..

- My PH sucks. I'm almost always "Acidic" lately. I'm actually waiting for some stuff I ordered online to help fix that faster. And someone told me I could be lacking "mineral reserves" from a fast I did in Janurary.


Any juices or anything I should try supplementing with before going to the doctor and getting a blood test? Maybe flax oil? It's possible my thyroid meds is off and on the low side but that seems to be unlikely too because I don't really have any of the usual symptoms with it.

If I can change something about my diet to try and fix it, how long should it take? I rather try and fix it before going and getting a blood test because of other reasons I wanted to avoid it.

If you are on thyroid meds, you should have your doc see if they need to be adusted in dosage. The raw diet could be causing you to need less or more. Also, get to know all the essential nutrients your body needs, then see if you are lacking any. Nutrients are good Love your body and don't deprive yourself of them.
