Is hairloss REVERSIBLE??
August 3, 2025
I once posted about hair loss on X (Twitter) and the responses blew me away….
A recovering Vegan in her 60s wrote in and said:
"My hair was balding, thin and brittle as a vegan. I am shocked by the growth on eight months of a full carnivore diet."
Another guy also said:
"After trying hundreds of different supplements and shampoos, the only thing that works for me is lamb's heart and liver supplements. Fine hairs are growing on my scalp where there was no hair at all."
We also receive countless stories from customers at Heart & Soil reporting similar experiences… like this one from Whole Package:
"I felt so strong and best part is my hair grew thicker and longer with just that one bottle I purchased"
This all begs the question:
Is hair loss as "permanent" as we've been told?
I would argue, in many cases, it's actually a NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY.
Because when you look at the literature, it makes complete sense…
Multiple studies reveal that deficiencies in zinc, copper, magnesium, selenium, and vitamins B12, D, and folate are consistently seen in people with male pattern hair loss, female pattern hair loss, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium (PMID: 28243487).
And guess what?
All of these nutrients are found almost EXCLUSIVELY in the animal kingdom!
Of course, that's not what the mainstream medical establishment will tell you…
They'll have you believe it's just "genetics" or your "stubborn hormones" 🙄
That you're destined to look like Gollum from Lord of the Rings...
The only solution?
Succumb to scary hair loss drugs.
I have serious concerns about things like finasteride (Propecia) and other 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.
The side effects include complete loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, penis shrinkage, testicular pain, chronic fatigue, muscle atrophy, depression, and suicidal thoughts.
Even if this only affects 2% of men, why would you risk chemical castration when the root cause might be as simple as nutrient deficiency!?
So, instead of nuking yourself with pharmaceuticals…
Prioritize these nutrients:
Zinc - Studies have found that people with male androgenetic alopecia have significantly lower zinc levels compared to controls, with suboptimal biotin levels also being found in patients (PMID: 30990313).
Biotin - Research shows that 38% of women complaining of hair loss had biotin deficiency (PMID: 28932059).
Iron - Iron deficiency is particularly common in women with hair loss due to menstruation.
Studies show that iron deficiency may impact both hair structure and hair growth, with acute telogen effluvium being a well-known effect of nutritional deficiency (PMID: 28243487).
B12 - Studies show that low B12 levels can lead to hair loss as hair follicles become unable to grow new hair efficiently (PMID: 30380121).
Copper - Essential for hair structure, but you need liver to get meaningful amounts. (Muscle meat contains virtually no copper).
L-Carnitine - Research published in Experimental Dermatology showed that L-carnitine stimulates human scalp hair growth by up-regulating proliferation and down-regulating apoptosis in follicular keratinocytes (PMID: 17927577).
Taurine - Studies demonstrate that taurine was taken up by hair follicles, promoted hair survival in vitro, and prevented deleterious effects on hair follicles (PMID: 18489269).
Additionally, taurine promoted in vitro hair survival and prevented the deleterious effects of transforming growth factor, an inhibitor of hair growth, on hair follicles (PMID: 37357646).
Pretty incredible, right?
You'll find these in abundance in grass-fed beef and lamb, liver, eggs (pasture raised), raw dairy and heart.
I'd also consider experimenting with removing these "nutrient blockers" from your diet that could be contributing factors:
And if you're wondering about shampoos and hair maintenance…
I don't even use shampoo anymore. Just water.
But when I want to give my hair some extra nutrients, I'll wash with raw egg yolks and apple cider vinegar. The nutrients in yolks make my hair incredibly soft.
Just don't take too hot of a shower or you'll end up with scrambled eggs in your hair!
Bottom line: Hair loss may not be inevitable for you.
It may not be down to your genetics or your hormones.
In many cases, it's your body crying out for the nutrients it needs.
Nutrients that are found in their most bioavailable forms in animal foods.
So if you're someone who's wrestling with hair loss…
Try eating more meat, organs, pasture raised eggs.
Cut out the stuff I mentioned.
And (literally) watch what happens in 3-6 months.
If you'd rather do this with desiccated organs…
Beef Organs from Heart & Soil will have you covered.
And for the ladies who want the full treatment, Skin, Hair & Nails stack might be for you.
