Root-cause protocols, lab guides, and evidence-based insights — so you can take charge of your health.
PCOS hair thinning is androgen-driven: testosterone is converted to DHT at the follicle by 5-alpha-reductase, miniaturizing hair over successive growth cycles.
An iron panel is five markers read together — ferritin, serum iron, TIBC, transferrin saturation, and often soluble transferrin receptor — not the single 'iron' number most doctors glance at.
Inositol doesn't act on hair follicles — it improves insulin sensitivity, which lowers the excess androgens (and DHT) driving PCOS hair thinning.
PCOS hair loss is androgenetic alopecia driven by DHT acting on genetically sensitive follicles, not ordinary stress shedding — so it needs a hormonal and metabolic fix, not just topicals.
Reverse T3 (rT3) is an inactive mirror-image of active T3 that your body makes on purpose to slow metabolism when it senses stress, illness, injury, or under-fueling.
Insulin resistance is a broken-signal problem, not a calorie or willpower problem — cells stop responding to insulin while blood glucose can look 'normal' for years.
An Ayurvedic medicine practitioner treats patterns of whole-person imbalance rather than named diseases, using diet, herbs, daily routine, detox, and mind-body practices.
Subclinical hypothyroidism means TSH is elevated while T4 is still in range, so your thyroid is working harder than it should just to keep output normal.
Progesterone stabilizes the uterine lining after ovulation; when it fades too early, the lining sheds prematurely and you spot for days before your real period.
Reverse T3 (rT3) is an inactive mirror-image of the active thyroid hormone T3 — a built-in metabolic 'brake' the body uses to conserve energy during stress, illness, or dieting.
Estrogen dominance is usually a relative problem — estrogen's signal is high compared to progesterone — not simply "too much" estrogen in absolute terms.
Thyroid holistic doctors differ mainly in scope: they test a full panel (free T3, free T4, antibodies, and nutrients) rather than deciding everything from a single TSH.
