From supplements to serums, it’s easy to find someone online promising a solution for hair loss. The harder part is knowing which information you can trust.

Three red flags to keep on your radar: guaranteed results, big claims without solid evidence, and products suggesting that “natural” always means safe.

Hair loss can have different underlying causes, so what works for one person may not be appropriate for another.

Before trying the latest recommendation in your feed, bring your questions to a qualified healthcare professional.

If you’re experiencing hair loss, getting answers starts with asking the right questions.

Before beginning a new product, supplement, or prescription, talk with your dermatologist about what may be causing your hair loss, the evidence behind your treatment options, and any potential risks or side effects.

Hair loss can have many possible causes, including hormonal changes, genetics, nutritional deficiencies, medications, and more. Understanding what’s happening can help guide a more personalized conversation about treatment.

Save these three questions and bring them to your next appointment.

There’s a lot of advice out there about hair loss after menopause, but not all of it is helpful.

Washing your hair every day isn’t causing your shedding. Brushing isn’t pulling healthy hair from the follicle. And while some supplements may have a role, they aren’t a standalone solution for every type of hair loss.

The underlying cause matters. Factors like DHT, ferritin levels, thyroid function, and hormonal changes may all need to be considered.

Instead of relying on myths, start with a proper evaluation from a dermatologist who can help you understand what’s happening and discuss an appropriate treatment plan.

When you see “FDA-approved” attached to a hair loss treatment, it’s worth understanding exactly what that means.

Hair loss medications, dietary supplements, and cosmetic products fall into different categories, and the rules surrounding them are different too.

Before buying, ask: Is there evidence for my type of hair loss? What are the risks and limitations? Has my dermatologist recommended it for me?

A little research can help you make a much more informed decision about your hair health.

Visit https://www.chicagomenopausecollective.org/ to hear Dr. Lady Dy's expert advice on hair loss, then join us at our next event to gain even more evidence-based insights from leading menopause specialists.

This month, Illinois took a major step forward for menopause care.

Governor Pritzker signed three new laws that will expand insurance coverage and workplace protections, improve access to reliable information, and strengthen menopause education for current and future health care professionals.

Each law received bipartisan support, demonstrating that better menopause care matters to everyone.

State Representative Yolonda Morris, author of the Illinois Menopause Equity and Care Act, will join us as the keynote speaker for the Chicago Menopause Retreat. She’ll share the personal story behind the legislation and her vision for what comes next for women across Illinois.

Thank you to Rep. Yolonda Morris (D-Chicago), Sen. Meg Loughran Cappel (D-Crest Hill), and Sen. Adriane Johnson (D-Waukegan) for championing menopause care in Illinois.
