Episode 10: Let’s Talk Hair Loss — Causes, Treatments, and Confidence
Hair loss can be frustrating, emotional, and deeply personal—but there are more treatment options (and hopeful stories) than you might think. In this episode, Dr. Dustin Portela and PA Austin Lee unpack the causes of hair loss for both men and women, from genetics and hormones to stress and lifestyle. They break down popular treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, oral medications, PRP, red light therapy, and even hair transplants—sharing what really works, what to watch out for, and when to seek help. Dr. Portela also shares his own journey with hair loss, including the moment he decided to shave it all off and why that became the most liberating part of his story.
