Identify the Cause. Restore Your Confidence.
Hair loss can be frustrating, emotional, and confusing—but you’re not alone. At The Hormone Upgrade in La Jolla, we offer targeted lab testing and treatment options to help uncover the most common causes of hair thinning or shedding and create a personalized plan to support healthy hair growth.
Our approach is non-invasive, easy to follow, and focused on restoring your hair and confidence—without unnecessary guesswork.
What Causes Hair Loss?
Hair loss can be triggered by a number of underlying factors, including:
- Hormone imbalances (thyroid, testosterone, estrogen, DHT)
- Nutrient deficiencies (iron, vitamin D, zinc, B vitamins)
- Stress and adrenal fatigue
- Postpartum changes or menopause
- Medication side effects
- Inflammation or autoimmune activity
By running a panel of labs, we can identify imbalances that may be interfering with your hair growth and create a focused treatment strategy.
