I really like how you eat. You remind me of myself when I used to follow a plant-based diet and eat lots of carbs. However, this changed when my doctor told me that I have low bone density and need to increase my muscle mass. I started exercising with weights, counting calories, and became obsessed with protein. In the end, this caused me to develop HA and I didn't build the muscles I wanted. I'm wondering how a plant-based diet can help prevent osteoporosis and support muscle building. I would love to see an update from you and hear how your life is going now.

It was most likely from covid

How’s your hair now ?

Great van. Well done. Michael and I are distant cousins. My grandmother was Joyce Sonsie.

same reason why i dont go all in. i dont want any physical discomfort on top of the anxiety of when my period comes back

I'm on a similar lifestyle, eating wfpb to recover from my amenorrhea, I dont need junk foods (my body n mind can't function on those). Previously it was more about being scared of eating my fear food, but now i bought wraps every now and then but i didnt quite enjoy it. As for UPF (ultra-processed foods), theyre packed with sugar, which i know will make the hormone cycle worsened. so im good with WFPB.

Prolonged restriction definitely whacked my hunger cues. I thought I was doing my body a service by not feeling hungry all the time. But then I was like binge-ing bread (because my body had been restricted soo much she screamed at me to feed her).

i watched your vids because we eat same things (WFPB), and WFPBtends to be high in volume so it makes us full before enough calories. i learned the hard way of not only overexercising but also undereating while in keto + counting calories. What seemed like a whole pot of keto soup or salad was still very low in cal. Now i dont shy away from peanut butter n tahini lol

Living in Scotland with HA which means I'm COLD. ALL. THE. TIME. and in this wintertime especially: I need to get healed ASAP lol... Hopefully soon.

So excited for you and danced with you 💃🏻🙌🏼 I know that feeling!!!🫶🏼 I am on the journey now to getting my period back, been almost 5 years in this journey I really feel like I’m close to root healing, recently discovered HA and how I really feel like gaining weight is going to help me, ( and of course all the other things involved too😉 ) I’m so excited. Yes it takes effort and time. And I’ve come so far!! To anyone else struggling with HA or any hormone struggles my heart goes out to you❤️❤️ I know how hard it is you just want to have a cycle like your body should. Keep pushing, and if you haven’t heard it lately I’m proud of you girl!!

Im going through the telegen fase myself. I cannot stop it. Ive tried green tea, pumpkin seeds,multi vitamins, fish oil capsules, eating jelly, eating spinach and collagen powder. Nothing stops it. Just gotta ride it out and hope it rectifys itself eventually.

Sending thanks for your video, I'm going through this and it's gutting but I trust it will return, send love to you all ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I listened to a podcast and it's called (The Power of one more day) for me, im grateful 🙏 for the having my hair for one more day xx

This is so relatable. I've always been known for having lots of hair which is very much like yours. Mine started falling out in March 2022 and it has been growing back for about 8 months now but I still feel like it isn't going to be as thick as it was. It is hard to be patient. I also find it feels more fine and flyaway compared to what it was before. I guess this is my hair now. Thanks for the video.

males loose their libido when loosing weight. do you know how to regain it?

Hello! I came upon your videos because im also following a wfpb diet and lost my period last year, after losing just a few pounds with what i thought was a healthy diet! Just wanted to ask, did you not have ANY natural period (without the meds) during your whole adult life? So glad you have figured out how to heal yourself. I have a doc appt next week and im hoping she listens and really helps me without just prescribing hormones.

Me and my 7 year old were watching this and she got so excited when she saw you guys have V is for Vegan too. Lovely van, hope you're all doing well.

Thank you for sharing. Helped me a lot especially not alone.

the mental hunger is such a big thing! My stomach feels full so quickly and I can sometimes go hours without eating without feeling physically hunger... but wishing I was hungry and thinking about food... On another note, thanks for doing these vids! Haven't had a period for about a year (I was only on low cals for like 4 mos. before I lost it ): and I've been binge-watching loots of HA vids 'cause I need the encouragement right now lol.

I thought with minoxidiel if you stop taking it the new hair falls out ?

Hi Emily, I was wondering how your hair has recovered a few years later after having telogen effluvium? I’ve just started taking 1.25 oral midoxinil and I’m worried I will have to be on this medication forever xx

Thank you for sharing your story. Have you stopped taking the oral minoxidil? If so, have you managed to keep the new growth? Xx

Thanks so much for sharing your journey 🙏 Your story (having a young family and a dynamic life, loving whole plant foods and dancing 💕) +videos have been so recognizable for me. And with that, have just opened my eyes to the fact that my 'healthy' lifestyle maybe isn't quite healthy enough, if it doesn't fully support my body in all it needs. That I will NEED to do something different, if I want my body to do something different. And, I'm now actually excited about starting to make positive changes! I love the thought of the importance of 'warmth' for recovery and will take many of your tips to heart going forward. Thanks again!

I have experienced it before, it was in the chronic stage but when I regrew my hair - it was a different color - I had dark brown hair, almost black and after this my hair was light brown - and it was wavy

When you began taking the Minoxidil pills did you notice increased shedding? Did she specify why she prescribed pills vs. topical.

dry skin! 😩

I stopped the video as soon as she said monoxidil.

Ηow is your hair now? Has it been restored to its normal density?

I am having the same issue . Everytime I shower I’m scared to wash it because I feel chunks falling down my body and instantly clogs the drain my hair is getting so thin I am very depressed it just started all of a sudden and it has been non stop

I'm always hungry and craving for bad food

it should grow back thicker, mine did.

Damn!! I thought mine was extreme, but this 😢 stay strong! How are you doing to this day? I am curious. It will grow back, stay calm ❤️

How long did it take to get your period ? + thank you for the video❤️

How’s ur hair now?! I’m going through this right now and it’s so hard 😣 i don’t wanna even touch it or wash it cuz i hate seeing it fall 🥺😭

I am not sure if you said on your video, but how long did the hair shedding last before it stopped? I’m experiencing it and I’d say I’ve lost like 30% already and it’s still going and worried it won’t stop :( how many months did it take before it stopped?

A new place which I’ve become actually obsessed with is Pizza Cult in Ubud. Amazing food, great service, such a cute venue and really affordable. Also a great place to bring your laptop and work from!

I'm going through this now after having covid with a fever in December. My hair started to fall out 6 weeks later and it's still falling now x

I am dealing with exact thing - I feel like the stress I cause myself also adds to the hair loss- it is worse in the shower- and when I am styling my hair. I hope it stops eventually.

This is happening to me right now. My hair is a part of my identity also. I can't take it, you can see my scalp at the top of my head. I used to get compliments on my thick hair also, now its dry, limp, thin, ugly. I can't believe how torn I am over this.

I'm currently losing so much hair I'm so confused and just utterly devastated it sounds stupid. But I loved my hair !!!! And I'm starting to see my scalp and I'm only 27 :'( I know it's just hair but it's my hair :(

Your hair at 70% loss looks like other people's full head of hair ... my 70% loss looks terrible and i have straggly lengths left! your hair also clearly grows fast it is just called Telogen Effulvium and when it lasts more than 6 months it is chronic TE You don't need to take any meds for TE!! you were conned! you should NEVER take Minoxidil for TE!

Thankyou so much for this video. I had Covid back in October, mid January my hair just suddenly started falling out from the root. I was terrified. I'm taking biotin & other vitamins. I've never experienced anything like this in my life !

please give an update

Thank you for sharing! ❤️

You've got a nice van. I could neither live nor stay in one, I've got REALLY REALLY bad claustrophobia

Sonsie life: where's your daughters bed ?

Did your scalp hurt during that time? Mine did.

How you hair grow back from TE. I face same thing from 2 months

I am going through it now too 😟 I got COVID in July, I had high fever for over 2 weeks and hospitalized for 4days. About a month and half later I started loosing tons and tons of hair. It’s so so scary because I had really thick hair and now it’s almost a month later and I know I have lost at least 50% of my hair. It’s a huge ordeal to wash my hair because it tangles so bad and I loose so much hair untangling it. I always cry when I was my hair. But I try to remind myself that it’s just hair but it’s not easy. I just want my hair to stop shedding. I can’t believe it going to continue for falling off for 6 to 9 months🥺 hopefully not at this rate because I really think I will not have any hair left. Thanks for sharing your story, I wish you all the best hope your hair has grown all back! Thanks for letting me vent, because I feel no one understands and my husband just teases me that we’ll be 2 baldies and all the jokes is not very funny😡

It is really heartbreaking to see my hair all over the floor. I was diagnosed with acute telogen effluvium 4 months ago along with that I had deficient vitamin D. After leaving the meds I am again facing the same issue. Moreover, my change in residence might also have triggered it. I can't take it anymore. I feel so underconfident and depressed 😭😭

Thank you so much for this video sweetie. I just recently started loosing the same amount of hair you showed even more some days and it started around the same time yours did. My health and blood work is fine, i did have a neck fusion then an auto accident 6 months later and almost died and had to have the rest of my neck fused. I had been pretty much recovered it was about 2 or 3 months after that my hair started falling out and then had to have the rest of my back fused a couple months later and this was rite after the lock down started easing up a bit and it hasnt stopped yet and its now been about 3 months past my last sugery. I was thinking ot was because of all the trauma to my body but i would have thought it would stop falling out by now. I do have extream stress at home on a daily because of my boyfriend that struggels with a drug addiction and he gets viokent at times and acts like a completly different person and he has "fell off the waggon" over the past 6 months, so he was absoultly NO help when i got home from the hospital and couldnt walk with out a walker and everything was soooo difficult to do afyer i got home from surgery. Now 8 and getting around alot better now and dont need a walker and i can drive an all again its still going to take another 6 to 12 more months to be completley recovered. Anyways im guessing its becaues of the stress i have been dealing with him and i cant get him out alone ( i own and pay for everything so its not like i need him) its just a difficult situation. Here the last week or so he has been clean for the 1st time in months so im hoping this will ease some of my stress becaause im like you, i loved my hair it was always sooooo thick and now its like a quarter of the thickness, its still long its just really upsetting because i dont know if its ever gonna stop falling out. I take so many vitimins and biotin and collegen and eat pretty healthy and drink all kinds of different teas to support hair growth and healthy scalp im just at a loss. Im going to try and call a dermeatoligist monday and hopefuly they accept my ins. I did try that rogain stuff for women that you put on your hair and it didnt work at all i felt like it mad it worse. I didnt know there was an oral version, im wondering if that could help, idk i guess ill have to wait and see if i can get a derm appt. Anyways thanks so much for ypur kind words! Much love🤗❤
