The Truth About Autoimmune Hair Loss (Spoiler: It’s Not Biotin)

Autoimmune Simplified

Hair in the drain. A widening part. Thinning at the temples.

You’ve tried the shampoo. The supplements. The serums. But nothing’s working.

What if the real reason your hair is falling out… has nothing to do with your hair at all?

In today’s episode of Autoimmune Simplified, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood symptoms of autoimmune conditions: hair loss.

• What’s really causing it?
• Why are traditional solutions missing the mark?
• And what’s the one lab marker that’s often labeled “normal” but quietly sabotaging your hair regrowth?

If you’ve ever been told, “It’s just aging,” or “It’s cosmetic,” this episode will change the way you see your symptoms.

We’re covering:

• What autoimmune inflammation does to your hair cycle

• The misunderstood lab test that might hold the key to regrowth

• Why hormone shifts in perimenopause and menopause amplify shedding

• How your nervous system and stress hormones secretly drive hair loss

Plus: What you need to know about that “normal” iron level (hint: it’s not so normal).
