Dr. Berry can the carnivore diet help with alopecia reata? My wife has struggled with alopecia for years and I'm looking for ideas to help. I would love to get your thoughts.
I've noticed in your videos you take Ancestral Supplements. I've been taking the Male Performance capsules (with ox testicles). I've been told it can effect my DHL which can lead to hair loss. Is this true?
Ps. Thank you for helping me cure my IBS and crippling migraines! 🙏🏼
I just told people that my diet was working so well even my hair was getting thinner.
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣👍🏽💞
Awesome haha
You’re funny! Glad you can joke about it
😆😆😆😆😂😂😂👍👍👍👍
IT DOES GROW BACK!!!! Hi Dr. Berry. Thanks for your video, it helped me when I was losing my hair and when wth!! It freaked me out for sure and I did not have that much weight to lose. I never lost that much hair in my life. The hair loss started maybe month 3 and ended month 6 of being carnivore. I got to one of Dr. Chaffee Q&A sessions and he suggested to be patient, that my hair will grow back.
So, if you are reading this and you are worried like I was, be patient. It truly grows back.
Now, to the part I was not expecting: My hair is growing back dark brown, my natural color. My head was fully white, and now the new hair growing brown and whites are turning brown little by little! Yeah!
That's awesome brother!
I am currently in that stage.
My symptoms started at month 4.
As a 23 year old, watching my hair falling out is daunting. Great to hear that it all came back for you, looking forward to getting to the other side of it.
Wowee, hope that happens to me 😊
@@EricaBassi99 Keep the faith! Everything is possible with carnivore!
@IsAllAboutHealth Did you impliment any chances when on carnivore to encourage hair regrowth?
I am drinking bone broth daily and also eat a small amount of liver daily.
@@taylorkernohan900 Make sure you are eating enough. I might have been under eating. Eat fat! I made an effort to eat more butter.
I have alopecia and I can say that my hair has started to grow again. My weight and inflammation are down. I'm 46 years old and feel like I'm 30!!!!!
Congrats .. may l ask what are all the things your doing please
Any update 2 years later?
I eat 6 eggs a day, and take zinc, vitamin D, biotin, and cod liver oil. My hair is very healthy! Low carb is great, but make sure not to put too much stress on yourself.
It means dont get married
Thank you Rachel!!😊
Can you tell how much you’re taking? Amount? And g?
You are very right, stress usually plays a greater part
@@user-bv1ss5nj9b be patient
I lost some hair at first,but now my hair is growing like a weed
same for (male) facial hair ... i have to literally shave twice as much as before or I turn into a caveman.
Really?
Lucky you. After how long you felt the hair growth?
Went on Keto and my hair fell off. Didn't grow back at all. So i ditched Ketogenic Diets. Im eating high protein low fat and my hair is now growing back.
@@KenWang1 How long did you wait for it to come back? There may be other reasons why your hair didn't grow back. Check out Health Coach Kait's video on the topic. It may have been one of those reasons
How long it took U for Ur hair to stop falling?
Been keto for 2 years. Lost a lot of hair and thought for sure it was not coming back but being skinny and healthy was more important to me so I hung in there . Started praying for God to please let my hair return, must give God credit here too , but low and behold it came back! It has taken a long time about 2 years but it's definitely returning. I now have a BUNCH of new hairs about 2in long that have emerged, literally filling a bald spot.
So, after two years of KETO, I'm here to tell you that at first, yeah, I noticed that my hair brush and bath counter had a lot more hair all over the place, but now, at age 70, I can't get this stuff to quit growing! I have MUCH more hair now than I did before KETO! No more bald spots, plus it's thicker, and with the pandemic it's now down to my shoulders! I need a haircut!!!
How long did it take to notice it regrowing from when it started thinning?
@@MajorityFFA Oh, I can't say exactly, but it took a few months before I noticed the difference.
Yes I have noticed the same. I am 56.
Have you noticed your hair thicker or with more density?
@@vins7cv139 Both.
it's true, on keto my hair thin so bad, nothing fixes it, not even expensive supplement can fix it, I have to keep my hair short for years on keto...even when I finally left keto to eat carbs again, the hair thinning didn't get any better...UNTIL I tried carnivore diet, 3 days into carnivore, BAM! not a single hair loss....new growth everywhere. My hair is now bountiful, my tummy stays flat even without fasting, my skin is glowing and my PMS completely gone, for the 1st time I finally have zero pain zero PMS on my monthly cycle. The heavy flow decreased too.
What do u eat?
Dear Dr Berry, Have been following the Keto diet for 17 months now, lost 25 pounds and my skin, particularly on my face is looking so young! I feel great and am ashamed to tell my friends, my age or younger how healthy I am as they are all on walkers, canes or suffering one surgery or health problems, etc. One strange thing I noticed lately is that my hair, once pure white is now a silver or pewter color as all of the new hair coming in is black! I didn't think hair color could reverse with age. Oh, and did I mention that I am 87 years of age! This seems a strange phenomenon of Keto living; have you had any similar rep0rts? Keep the reports coming, you are my favorite doctor!!
I know this is 2 years later, but your hair growing back black matches Origin of greying hair, i had people age 80 becoming diabetes free so what u experience is possible.
Wow! What a great testimonial for great health 💯
Congratulations on your 87 years young❤
How are you doing now at 89 yrs young? Hope you're still doing amazing! 🙌🫶
You are amazing!! And what you stated about where your friends are? That is exactly why my husband and I decided that aging does not mean sick and dying. The results have been amazing and people like you are MY HERO!!! I am so happy for you Barbara! Way to take your health by the horns for yourself!!
The CDC and FDA (and WEF and the WHO) are full of sh!t on this(avoiding beef).... and other historic events in recent history.
Trust me guys , I had hair fall issue for a year and even met my endocrinologist. Was freaking out but I enjoyed the benefits of keto. I continued with keto and soon my hair started to fall less . 😊
This is good to hear because I'm 9 months in and freaking out because my hair is still falling out.
i lost lots of hair in the beginning but now i am over a year and it get better but not perfect. also i am 53yo and this might be also an issue.
@@KenWang2 this is good to know, I tend to loose more weight with a higher protein moderate fat low carb keto as opposed to a high fat. With high fat macros I stabilize and don’t loose any weight. I haven’t monitored my hair fall either way though. I just know that it falls out a lot more. I blamed it on stress and menopause hormone changes.
Did you hair really grow back to normal?
@@Mb2IseeU lose* weight 😄👍
A dietitian I told I was on Keto, told me Keto causes hair loss. I shook my thick glossy brown hair at her (I am 64 this year) and told her...my hair was crap until I got on Keto and to stow it and move along. I lost the sick hair I had 3 yrs ago and it all came back in gorgeous. At no point did I lost more than a few strands at a time.
How did you know that I needed to know this today!! My formerly very thick hair is now quite thin. Scary!!!
Same here
I had very long thick hair.Been on keto 6 months and hairbrush full everytime I brush.Even with vitamin supplements and skin is looking crepey.
I did lose hair for a few months and it got thin on top. It was scary! I have lots of new hair coming in now! Hang in there!
@@judyhoffer7145 thk u
@@judyhoffer7145 Thanks, I was panicking!
Dr. Berry! I've been doing keto for just over a year now. At around 6 months I had hair loss. It lasted about 2 months. Then started taking Biotin. I'm not sure if that made a difference, my hair is fantastic now! No more gray hair either! Keto/carnivore has been a God send, no more hunger. You have been an inspiration! Thank you
How did you lose the hair? My hair is thinning in the back just like male pattern baldness and I’m freaking out. I was on keto for 3 months.
I have experienced some hair loss all of my hair was white and then the hair regrowth has been back to pigmented youthful colors of the past I say colors because I go from blonde to Brown and many shades of each depending upon what part of my body needless to say the loss of the white hair in the return to a more youthful hair color has been very much appreciated
i notice my hair thinning at 5 months into carnivore. at the same time, my grey hair is turning black! i am 63 years old and had premature greying of hair. I will not worry about it then after hearing this video. I only had 20 lbs to lose cause I did not start with a lot of pounds to lose but a lot of ailments which are gone : belly fat, fatty liver, arthritis, eye problems, fatigue, arthritis, snoring, angina , knees pain and back pain, blood sugar spikes. so a temporary hair loss is acceptable. I will wait and see how long my hair situation will change. And yes, I am eating some seaweed for iodine.
mine is grow dark brown again! and white is turning brown.. it is pretty cool!
I started keto 2 months ago and jumped right in with intermittent fasting keeping to two meals a day doing the 16-8. I haven’t noticed any hair loss. After I stoped dying my hair a year and a half ago my hair actually got thicker. I’ve started fasting 40 hours twice a week and no hair loss. Grateful ❤️
Dyeing* 😄👍
Aren't you just lucky.
What do you eat on Keto ? More red meat, fat, cheese,seafood ? Maybe that made the difference. For me, I loss because I know I ate less and less. I was just not hungry. And I heard about calorie deficit, so I just did some of that since I am not hungry anyways. But did conaciously eat more later so all good.
You one of the ones who are blessed not to lose your hair
I’m a long haired 74 y/o I think that’s a veteran thing. Anyhow in my third year of low carb I’ve lost weight, diabetes diagnosis, high triglycerides and I’m hairy. The new girl friend is a bonus and she loves my hair. 💪😎🏃🏼🕺🥦🥓
The women in my family typically get thinning hair as they age. I thought I had skipped it. No! However, I lost hair at about three months into keto; I felt too good otherwise to quit. Now it is coming in again and darker. I was completely white haired. Am 73.
Wow, that's amazing . I'm 34 and I started to go grey in early twenties, now I even have grey in my eyebrows. How long did it take for your new hair to grow back. I'm 4 months into keto and my hair has been falling out like crazy for a month now.
Wish that would happen to me. My hair got so thin I began wearing a wig 4 years ago. I am nearly Carnivore and have lost much more hair. Do I think it will come back? Not really. But I do have some hope. I feel great and have lost some weight, more to come because I will not give up.
“WTF” 😱🤣😆 You crack me up and keep me informed Dr. B! 🙌👑👍❤️
The first six months I lost a great deal of weight and hair both. But, I’ve always had thin/ fine hair. Last winter it began to grow back with less grays. I wasn’t too worried because I had lost hair when I was sick years before and learned it isn’t permanent.
Thank you so much for this video! I have lost 43 pounds since the end of January 2023 and I have been experiencing hair loss. I’m going to up those proteins and keep smiling 🙂. This has put my mind at ease bc I did not want to sacrifice my once beautiful hair!!
Too much protein can also cause hair loss
Been waiting for this video!!! Thank you Dr Berry!!! ♥️♥️♥️
I went through two stages of hair loss on keto. The first time I didn't mind so much because I had A LOT of hair so it was barely noticeable. I didn't panic about it and eventually it stopped for a few months.
Then my hair started falling out again which did cause a bit of a panic. I started taking a multi vitamin and I upped my calories and and my hair stopped falling out. I am maintaining my weight and waiting for my new baby hairs to grow out.
I've been doing keto for over a year now and even with the hair loss, its still something I highly recommend (to those who ask).
Thank you dr Berry, good vid!
For almost 2y I did/still do, strict Keto, under 20g of carbs + IF 20/4. Lost 15kg, have my dream body, better health, but boy I lost a lot of hair. I started to eat protein more than dr E. Berg sugests + iron (I was anemic) and vitamins.
Now, after 18 month i have my hair back. 👍
actually keto like berg says is way to less protein you have to eat about 100g of protein a day to be healthy so its more carnivore diet then keto for best results and best hair !!
My third month of keto I lost over half of my hair. I was freaking out! BUT . . . it came back. My hair dresser looked through my head and showed me all the baby hairs growing back. It all grew back thick and as before.
Glad you are back to what it was before! Can I ask long did you hair fall out and until it started regrowing?
I am in the process hair fall, freaked me out lol
WOW! I wish my Dr. knew this back in 1980! In June of that year my hair was coming out, literally, by the handful and she said it was because of the high fever I endured during my episode with Singapore Strain B influenza in Jan. I was put on a high dose of iron and was told to cut my (very long) hair as short as I could stand....I got a buzz cut 😖 She NEVER once mentioned, nor asked about weight loss....I had lost 25lbs in two weeks. Which was a welcome albeit dangerous side effect of the flu. I hope that your very informative video helps anyone concerned about this temporary loss....and YES my hair came back! 😃
I started keto a year ago. My weight was 115. I am 105 now. I didn’t need to lose weight- I had brain fog.
Brain fog is gone. Also, I have new hair growth - a lot - which at my age is weird.
Same here - mega sleepy brain gray clouds if I eat carbs and feel AMAZING on keto.
You only lost 10 pounds after a year of keto??
@@reinepoaty6747 unfortunately, I had to start adding more carbs after my weight dropped to double digits. It’s not sustainable for people with BMI below 18.
@@reinepoaty6747 If she have lost more, she disappear.......
reine poaty she was only 115lbs when she started. 10 lbs is a big loss at that size
So when I got married I lost all my hair and when I got divorced it all grew back, what's that about?
Stress?
You eliminated your stress factor LOL!
after my divorce i could hear again
@@johnhoffay9081 Ah! Were you another case of MSHS (Male Selective Hearing Syndrome)? LOL! (No offense meant...just joking!)
John Hoffay .... I feel for you guys, us women are complicated, my husband has selective hearing, ummmm I wonder if I just kept my mouth shut he might hear a little better. Lol not to mention you fellas are a bit of a pain in the rear, but couldn’t live without ya. Love ya all. Lol🤪😘🥰😍
5 months into clean keto...over 50lbs down...my hair was already naturally thin and down past my waist. I lost A LOT!! I'm sure it seemed worse because of my two foot lenght... it sure freaked me out! But I can't quit this lifestyle. I feel too good. I'm 52. Thanks for assuring me its temporary. It's the only downfall so far. And I wasn't forewarned either. Had never heard of it prior to it happening.👀😬 lol?
Finally!! Thank you for addressing this issue!
Thanks for being “my” doctor! ☺️ Definitely had this happen - hair loss. Luckily I had a bunch of hair to begin with! 😀. It has slowed way down now at 9 months on keto.
Dr. Berry, thank you so much for this video. I got very concerned after losing lots of hair, but I couldn't go back to type 2 diabetes and the extra weight. I just figured I'd have to use wigs rather than have a heart attack, lose a limb or my vision.
did your hair grow back?
my mom said, "you just lose your carb's hair", and I'm laughing. I realized the hair losses are the thinner strains..
Awwwee....bless your Mum, that's so sweet. 🙋♀️👍
That's awesome...I'm going to be using your mom's quote from now on when I notice my hair loss 💜
My hair loss started at 3 months into keto and kept falling out for about 6 months. It was REALLY SCARY. It’s been growing back now for about 3 months. I take collagen and it’s like my hair is on steroids. It’s growing so fast and thicker. I just kept holding on to the hope it would regrow but I was worried it wouldn’t. I’m glad I didn’t give up on keto.
What kind of collagen ? What brand
Are you still doing keto, i have done keto and lost 23 kg of weight then i stopped the diet and i ate carbs, till then now i can see my 50 % of hair is lost , what should i do to get it back , i m not taking any protein in food just eating carbs , will it grow back my hair
@@smitashinde6263 does your hair grows back?
And this is why we love you, Dr Berry. You give a simple fast explanation for so many issues.
Perfect timing for my mom. Sending this link to her now. Thanks Dr. Berry.
YASSSS DR. BERRY!!!! Finally someone with a brain reveals the TRUTH!! Stress on the body (weight loss) is what causes hair loss. ANY diet that you lose a substantial amount of weight in short time will cause hair loss. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Surprisingly this is the first time I’ve heard of this. My partner and I have been keto 9 months, carnivore 1.5 months. Neither of us have noticed hair loss. Excellent video as usual which will help change the perspective of the skeptics. Thanks
I'm merely 1 month on Ketovoire & my hair STOPPED falling out & already feels thicker & healthier... I LOVE THIS!! Thank you Dr. Berry!!!
Ok. I didn't know this about Keto. But I did notice every morning when I combed my hair, that there was a handfull of hair in the comb. I've lost over 50lbs since I started living this way. I chose this way of life following the info I learned from Dr Berry because of my diabetes 2. I love my hair, I don't want to lose it, but I would rather go bald than gain all that weight back. Thanks for my new healthy life Dr Berry. You are my doctor.
67 year-old female. Two months carnivore and hair fall at part and crown is getting bad. Decided to buy a topper to hide problem until it hopefully resolves. Thank you for hope, Dr Berry!
OMG...been doing Keto for three years and for the past two my hair has been falling a lot. Thank you Dr. Berry for this video; coming from you makes me more comfortable knowing that it is ok.
Thanks for this video Dr B. I have lost weight several times in my life, and this is my last diet, because after 15 months, I know Ill stick to this WOE. But I did have my tub stop up like 3 times, in the first 6 months from hair loss. Im still waiting for it to regrow, but to be fair, Im still losing. Thanks for the insight, I really have tried to find some legit info online, and you made it simple, in one video, what was actually happening. You rock!
I've been on keto since July and this is the first I'm hearing about hair loss. Haven't had any issues so far.
This issue is a struggle for me. My body is changing (I don’t weigh myself because the scale and I are arch enemies) and I’m happy about that, but the hair loss is like a punch in the gut. I’m sooooo sad about this. I truly hope that it does start to regrow soon. 😢
Did it grow back? I’m dealing with hair loss from keto.
Me too. It’s been four months since I started Keto. I’m 70 and now my head looks like a bowling ball with a little fuzz on it, I’ve lost so much hair, it’s scary. I’ve always had very fine hair, but a good amount, not now though.
I hope mine does too. I've started eating more healthier, fasting, and losing weight. Being a sorry diabetic with high blood pressure this adds more depression to me. 😢😢 So sick of everything.
I am so glad that I found your channel on RUclips. I want to thank you so much for all the time that you take making these videos. I only wish I lived in your “neck-of the woods” so that I could be a patient of yours. I began my first hair loss with the birth of my first child. My hair loss then began to happen whenever I began a diet. Years later I started a diet at which time my hair loss was greater. I talked to my family physician and he referred me to a dermatologist. He told me that it was due to my diet but stated that it would come back. But the dermatologist did not go into the detail that you just explained. At my next family physician appointment his explanation was I could be fat and have hair or be skinny and bald. Of course I did not I did not want to be bald so I gained my weight back and then some. At this point I began to have health issues due to being overweight. My doctor promoted Weight Watchers. I knew I could loose the weight but put it off until I came across your channel. I started eating Keto and now have lost 62#. I am healthier and feel amazing. So thank you again for giving us great information and explaining it all to us. Complete information enables us to understand so that we can become healthier and continue to keep it off. God bless you!
I'm so grateful you've addressed the topics that fear mongers are using to steer people away from optimal health. ALL my questions and concerns have been answered in one or another of your videos.
This isn’t fear mongering, this is something that legitimately happens on keto and is a huge psychological and emotional problem for many people especially women.
Happened to me. Now my hair is better than ever 3 years later.
This is what happens when you eat the proper human diet :)
When I went for my diabetic check at the doctors and I told the nurse I was going to try keto so I wouldn’t end up on insulin, she told me I would lose all my hair and be very ill! 😡 I’m ignoring her. Love your RUclips channel 🇬🇧😘
All my hair fell out after I hit my gw. My hair was almost to my butt before I started keto. Now my hair is only to my shoulders. I love my hair now it’s the healthiest it’s ever been. Keto and IF is my forever lifestyle. Been on this wol for 2 years
That's scary😱
how long did it take for your hair to stop falling out??? I am wanting to cry because I lost so much hair esp today in the shower!!!
@elizabeth Jocson
FaithHope L it was about 3 months. I didn’t notice at the time but when a hair follicle fell out it’s because the new healthy ones were pushing the old out.
I definitely had significant hair loss about 3-4 months after starting Keto. Freaked me out! It's been a year and I do notice I have a bunch growing back now and it's about 1/2 - 1 inch long now. It took a long time for it to noticeably start growing back.
This is the video I was looking for! Thanks Dr. Berry.
The “fell down a well and can’t get out” comment made me chuckle. :)
I am 7 months in on my keto journey. I have experienced a LOT of hair loss in the front cap of my head and a general thinning all over. (Thankfully I have thick wavy/curly hair) I do notice that it seemed to happen when I started IF. (Because of a weight stall.) It brings me a lot of stress which I know doesn't help, and I am on a ton of medications, so theirs that. BUT, I have lost 90lbs so far and I am loving, loving keto!!! (Still have a long journey) I told my husband, look I may go bald, but I honestly do not want to stop this way of life and all the progress I made. He said he will shave his head.
Vital & essential information. ! Well well the body is an amazing machine !
I started keto in 2017. I lost quite a bit of hair that first 6months to a year but it all came back. Keto on✌❤
how long did it take to come back?
This was/is so frustrating and worrying. Thanks for the easy to understand explanation.
We as a country have been under a an inordinate amount of stress over the last year, we have suffered under the Covid-19 health pandemic, as well as the political unrest. Many of us have lost our employment, our homes, our cars, etc... however, one of the positive things to come out of all of this is that we have had time to focus on our friends and family and ourselves, I've used this time 2 begin the keto lifestyle and have lost close to 50 lb and also reversed my type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure without the use of any medications. I thank you for the message today Dr. Berry, that this will more than likely be a temporary situation. Temporary may be different for each of us, given our individual situations and stress levels. But in all honesty, if the worst were to happen and I went bald, I would be much happier with that, than being severely unhealthy and grossly overweight for the rest of my life, which would probably have been a much shorter one.😬👍
Thank you Dr. Berry for addressing this issue, and in your usual clear, informative style, anticipating questions and criticism and calmly stating the facts. That's why I love you! That, and your wonderful southern accent. 😀
.... Dr Berry is just plain, good looking....
Thank you! Mine has been coming out in handfuls. I had to cut it to my shoulders. Glad it is temporary and can be resolved. I will say what is growing back in, is very healthy looking!
Kelli Im on Keto and my hard is falling out like crazy! I eat very healthy lots of veggies and meat of all kinds sardines eggs etc please tell me did your hair come back? Im freaking out!
It is a good job that you have a full head of hair Dr Berry- I don't know why but it somehow makes your presentation more believable :)
You have saved my life the minute I was told that I might have type2 diabetic I had come across to your video and followed keto diet have lost 60 pound within three month and reverse my diabetic with out a medicine . But I was a little nerves about the rapids hair fallen out until I see this video I even was planing to take biotin vitamins .
I've been on keto since Aug 2019 im losing a ton of weight but not losing any hair. My hair is still thick as ever. Great info!!!!
I did lose some hair in the first year, but the cool thing was my hair texture was so improved. My hair was dry and coarse. Now it actually gets oily at times and it's so much softer. Plus I see the baby hairs coming back. Alright with all of that I am also 67. My hair had been going white, the hair coming back has color. Not my youngest best color, but it isn't white. Hey, at 67 none of this was anything I expected. No one had mentioned the hair loss, certainly not a change in texture or color or any of that.. I got into keto for the health benefits and haven't been disappointed. The weight loss hasn't been fast for me, but I am losing and I feel better. The rest of it is just the rest of it.
Thank you Granny! This gives me hope 😇
I started losing a lot more hair towards the end of my weight loss journey, but as you say it was just temporary. when I started maintenance I stopped the hair loss. and continue to look and feel very healthy.
My hair started falling out about the 6mth into keto. Im almost 1year in on keto now and my hair is still coming out. Really hope it stops soon. Thank u for the info Dr Berry
You simply may not be getting enough calories each day. I know that is why I started losing my hair. I am 61 and I was raised to go low on fats and tank up on veggies. Changing our eating mindset is oh, so difficult. Once I increased the healthy fats and proteins in my diet I gained a couple pounds back but my hair started to grow again.
Thank Dr.Berry for sharing with us.
I lost a lot of hair as well, but after losing 60 pounds and maintaining keto for 2.5 years, my hair Is just fine.🤗
Thank you I’ve only been on keto less than 6 weeks. I’m freaking out my hair is already very fine 😳
Add me to the seeing is believing list. I've been keto, (now carnivore), since the beginning of April. I've seen other obvious positive signs, (weight-loss, clarity, etc.) but I noticed this weekend hair has started growing nicely back in my bald spot/receded hairline! Never really cared, since it receded, many years ago, but now? Wow! I'm in it for the long haul. Hoping I will continue to see results of my body repairing itself from all the damage I have ravenged on it my whole life. Within the first month of this diet, I was able to stabilize my blood sugar, and come off all my medications. I've lost 32lbs, down to a comfortable weight. Thank you for your very informative videos! I share to social media, as well as word of mouth. How can you possibly go wrong, living this way?
How are you doing now?
My hair is getting really thin on top. Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I want to cry. My hairdresser told me to take a collagen supplement. I started carnivore/ketovore on 8/13 and I am at about 90% to 95% animal food. It is so very upsetting. I don't want to gain the 87 pounds back that I've lost but I definitely need encouragement.
it will come back, don't worry
Hang in there, Tina. I started keto in June. Mine started falling out about 3 months later due to weight loss AND a very stressful time at work. My bangs are pretty thin now. But I held out and 3 months later the fall out has reduced almost back to normal and i have new growth in the front! I take collagen every day. It didn’t help my hair loss but it sure does wonders on my joints. Don’t give up!
hows your hair now ?
Thank you so much for the reassurance!!
Thank you that clarifies my previous hair loss!!
I have been FREAKING out my hair has always been very thick and right now it feels thinner then it has ever been.
How did you fix your hair thinning? Did you quit Keto?
Same here!🙋🏻♀️😫
I don’t want to quit… it’s helping so well but I am going bald😢
That's good news! I've been doing keto & IF for about 4 months & have lost over 60 pounds. Over the last month I've lost a lot of hair & was starting to freak out.
When I started on my weight loss journey, I tried 1000 calorie day diet (didn't work), a special weight loss program (Spokane Weight Loss) which is a NO FAT, low carb, protein diet with supplement drops (where I lost 59 pounds), and now I am on keto diet. I really think my hair loss (significant) started with the NO FAT diet. I am now noticing that the hair loss is slowing down a bit (not totally) since being on keto (since 4.11.20). I hope it grows back, because I am a "my hair is important to me" person!! Thanks Dr. Berry!
I am on Keto and nothing in this world can stop me continuing. Never mind that I am loosing some hair. It could be the stress aswell which COVID-19 is causing to my mental health. I am back to work from tomorrow. 👍👍👍and I lost 3 stones since January'20. Thank you
Dr Berry. You are my Hero and I am forever grateful for your professional advice. 🇩🇪living in the UK
I got my hair back I lost so much of my hair when I was diagnosed with Diabetes Ketoacidosis (I'm a type one diabetic)now that I'm keto my hair has grow better. I've always had thick hair. Now my hair looks way thicker even though it's blue🤣 and it was damaged by the hair color with avocado oil has also helped with the softness and brightness. (15months keto carnivore)
Thank you thank u thank u. You are the first person who were able to give me the proper explanation of my hair loss.
Thank you! I needed this info NOW. Hair thinning on top.
Been waiting for this video
After taking every vitamin known to man. Went high fat low carb. My hair that thinned years ago Has been filling in slowly. I didn’t even have a hairline anymore. But now things are getting better.
I look like I’ve had chemo!!! I have been losing hair since month 2 of my ketogenic diet. I’m now into month 5 and so far it’s STILL coming out! It really concerns me! I’ve lost 31 pounds so far and I’m 70. I’m pleased with that! Thanks for the encouragement! I’m looking forward to regaining my hair!!
Do you eat meat? How much? Do you track it and know how much you're getting?
Don't buy cheap food. I have hypothyroidism and I have no problem. Don't eat only lettuce.
Most people don't take the RDA of potassium (4700 g) before starting Keto. On Keto, you cut out the high potassium foods such as potatoes (french fries) and bananas. If you don't eat enough vegetables containing potassium, hair loss can happen. If you're on Keto, you absolutely need to watch your intake of electrolytes, especially if you're also taking a diuretic, aka water pills.
Don't take a potassium pill, you need to take a balanced electrolytes supplement.
If each hair strand is becoming very thin, you need to eat more protein.
Motorcycle accident, 3 months in hospital, hair started falling out but stopped eventually and came back.
True about the grocery store comment. The only thing I buy that's been packaged /cooked /altered is olives. No more boxes, bag, packages or cans in my pantry. Except some frozen veggies, it's just a little easier.
Thank you so much for this as I was just getting ready to quit doing Carnivore! I'll sit and wait it out!
I have been eating Keto for two years and never noticed significant hair loss. With menopause and Keto my hair is thicker and curlier. Healthier than it has been in years.
Good for you
So keto and I.F now for 4 mo. My hair started falling out at about the 2 1/2 mo. Mark….a LOT…..my pony tail feels like a pig tail now 🥴…BUT the new growth is at least 30% darker 👏 it seems to have slowed down but still more than normal loss which is about 80 to 90 hairs a day….lost 30 pounds and about 50% less inflammation than prior so plan on being keto for life..hang in there everyone…and thank you Dr Berry 👍👍
Yes, hair loss stopped and grew back even more. PLUS, I am seeing much less grey hair!!! Have randomly pulled some out and found out the end is grey but the recently grown part is brown. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT DOC?
Thanks, keep up the good work.
How long fat adapted before you saw regrowth?
@@loonebin8019 Same here. It's nice!
@@cindycarlson295 about a year. I can tell by the length of the brown part (1 cm per month growth)
A lot of people on a carnivore diet who are grey haired have reported their hair colour returning to normal colour. Or at least much less grey.
what did you do to make it stop falling out?
The heat is now off Dr. Berry. Congrats on getting this video in the history books.👱♂️💈💇♀️💇♂️
I'm 34, my hair was dropping before I started keto/IF then my hair started to drop even more when I started keto, I actually panicked. I wasn't bald, but I can see my scalp. I didn't bother fixing it even though I was scared. After I lost 10kg I stop keto. I just ate normally I mean high carbs, then my hair grows back and seems to be more than before. But I gained my weight back haha. I didn't know why. But now I know. Thanks! I will do keto again. However, despite loosing hair, I felt great and my health improve.
I ws on Keto before most people knew what it was. My sister-in-law had great success with Keto so I decided to try it. My husband and I were diligent in following the keto protocol. We even belonged to a menu/recipe service for keto. After 10 months, I had lost 12 pounds and my hair was falling out. My hair dresser was shocked and said I should see a doctor. I don't think a 12 pound loss is that large, and yet I experienced significant hair loss.
It took a few more years before I was diagnosed with lipolymphedema which explains the low wait loss.
Always Comforting listening to your knowledge DR Berry
Thank you Dr Berry!
Thank you for this video! I needed it today!
I have been on the diet for several months,...and it's falling all around me! LOL! I think partly it seems worse because I have longer hair now, and when it was short the individual hairs were much shorter. Long hair wraps around in a circle all around the shower drain! Yikes!
See my answer to Majority above for what worked for me.
Please see my answer above too, 3 yrs ago my hair was coming out like that. Now it is drop dead gorgeous. Hang in there sweetie.

I've been doing KETO, actually Carnivore, for 8 months and have lost 45 lbs., feel great!!! My hair was fine and was getting some color back, until I had the virus 4 months ago. The past month my hair has been falling out a lot. 😮 Checking into getting a wig. I hope this too shall pass, soon.
Thank you Dr. Berry. Jana - Texas
