@Chandler Coker there are a few mechanisms but in this case it's probably just low stomach acid and starting with HCL and TUDCA could help. It's important to support bile because bile is what neutralizes the stomach acid in the small intestine so when bile has a deficiency or poor flow, we see a reduction in HCL, this is why it's important to supplement with at least TUDCA because if you give HCL without adequate bile flow, you can damage the small intestine. Yeast can also disrupt stomach acid by inhibiting the parietal cell that secret HCL along with damaging the mucosa lining which will down regulate HCL to protect the lining.

@Chelsea Purvis In a child it's unlikely the hair loss would be hormonally related so it would most likely leave it to more immune related, a simple way of viewing this is hair is not important for survival so it's one of the 1st things to go. Now never say never on hormones though, there could be some sort of DHT activity in the skin of her scalp and that's where the dermatologist would come in for that type of testing, I wouldn't rule them out by any means but I know a little bit of history with your daughter, I'm assuming this is your daughter lol correct me if I'm wrong but I believe she has some underlying things like infections, it could be fungal related because fungus is another common cause of hair loss because it stimulates a side of the immune response that tends to attack things on surfaces, very simplistically put LOL

@Chelsea Purvis the dermatologist can help identify if it's DHT driven (unlikely but never say never), if it's DHT driven, could be genetics, chronic inflammation. She can also identify if there is fungus on the scalp, doesn't look like it though. I am leaning more towards fungal, how much of the Para Patrol has she done?

@Weissam Eid The LH stimulation in HMG is negligible, it would be better for you to spread out the HCG dose, rotating in HMG can make things worse. LH doesn't stimulate estrogen so you don't need to worry about that. You have genes that limit your ability to detoxify estrogen, so supporting the methylation would be a better strategy to reduce estrogen.

@Weissam Eid by waiting for your test results 😉

@Weissam Eid lipolysis isn't the issue, we can very easily stimulate lipolysis, it's actually taking that fat and putting it into the mitochondria to be utilized as fuel is where people struggle, this involves the Krebs cycle and dehydrogenase complexes that are negatively impacted by nutrient deficiencies, toxins and infections. Toxins are stored in fat, so the more fat that you free up, the more toxins your body has to deal with so the focus isn't on increasing lipolysis, it's improving liver health, methylation status and gut microbiome to prevent recycling of toxins and things like binders to assist in clearance of these toxins.

@Weissam Eid it's a start, when we get the results of your labs we can be more nuanced and precise.

@Weissam Eid glad you enjoyed it!
