Video: Hair Loss? 👀 Prioritize Protein ✅

These are the (delicious!) supplements & collagen products I’m using right now:

This video and these photos are not very flattering but extreme hair loss is really unsettling and discouraging ~ so I wanted to share these tips & ideas, plus my progress & regrowth photos, for anyone else experiencing gut health issues or hair loss…

I have “Long Covid Dysautonomia” which basically means dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system + a lot of neurological issues including tremors and a speech impairment etc.
I got sick in late 2020, so : more than 30 months now. The good news is I *am* improving, I’m WAY better than a year ago, it’s just insanely SLOW.

(in case you’re wondering what’s wrong with me in that video! lol)

I first shared this on facebook if you want to read or join the discussion there, or you can watch it right here on my blog (just tap PLAY above). I included some tips, examples and ideas below too, for anyone else experiencing gut health issues or hair loss…

It’s so frustrating, I know – and requires lots of patience & grace!

Tip: Prioritize Protein!

I also use the unflavored collagen protein powder + Almond Butter Brownie collagen protein bars from Perfect Keto. You can get 20% off with discount code LYNN20 – but they’re having a “buy two get one free” sale this weekend, which is an even better deal.

I’m going to double up on my collagen for awhile again: 2 scoops a day.

That worked really well for me before!

RE: the fluid retention, swelling & bloating, circulation issues, etc that I mentioned in that video – I’m doing a simple manual lymphatic drainage massage on myself at home (easy!), using magnetic therapy, doing simple low impact “bed yoga” style exercises, wearing compression stockings (all with great results!) – plus now using a new vibration plate too, which REALLY helps.

I love this lady for easy-to-follow DIY videos!

I mentioned in the video I just got this AMAZING super fun whole body vibration plate – and I LOVE IT so much already!! After a lot of research, that’s the one I picked, and I’m SO glad I did. More to come on that, a video of me on it even maybe.

* check out the videos on this page – it’s really cool, and feels SO GREAT!

Questions or feedback? Drop a comment!

I’d love to hear your personal experience with hair loss, gut health issues, food intolerance, etc.

I spent SO much money on supplements, shampoos, hair masks, magic hair growing potions etc – but in the end: time, patience, protein, healthy eating, eliminating culprits (stress, ingredients, etc) – plus LOTS of grace and self love.

This was just 4 months of hair loss shown in the video, and while I’m still losing hair (from my health issues) I have TONS of new growth lately, and my hair is longer than it’s been in years!

I don’t have any great pictures I guess, but you can see how much length I’ve gained, and that’s with my hair curled up a little – and with another covid setback in between:

The first time my hair fell out AND broke off so it was barely past my shoulders (straight) and EXTREMELY thin…

This is a current picture of me, an accidental selfie when I was trying to start a video call but you can see how much fuller AND longer my hair is now!

I hope something in here proves helpful for you. I know how discouraging it can feel to lose your hair. Or to just be unwell, and not feel like yourself. xo

Also, I treated myself to some cute summer hats.

Thoughts or Questions? I’d love to hear from you!

p.s. I use the unflavored collagen protein powder + Almond Butter Brownie collagen protein bars from Perfect Keto, and they have a great sale this weekend: B2G1 FREE Sitewide + a FREE Nola Bar 4-pack with every order over $75 – and free shipping! I love the sales!

Also, here’s what’s on their “deal of the week” page right now: Honey Nut Keto Cereal Nola Bars are $10 off and the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough keto bars are 40% off too.

See: Deals of the Week

* You can combine those deals into the same cart. The “deal of the week” products don’t count toward the B2G1 Free, so for example I can order 3 collagen or 3 keto bars and still get one free – plus add the discounted cereal or cookies (without getting the cheaper item free instead).
