S05_E04 - Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow! All About Hair Loss.

With Special Guest: Dr. Audrey Jacobsen

Everyone loses a few hairs every day (about 50-100 on average). But ever wonder why some people lose some or even all of their hair entirely? Or why things like stress or Chemotherapy can have have an effect on our manes? Hair loss is something that will make you gray at an early age - if you're lucky! But the who, when and why is something that almost always leaves us with more questions than answers.

It turns out, hair loss falls under the field of dermatology, so thankfully on episode 4 of our show, we'll be joined by the Chair of Dermatology at Hennepin Healthcare, Dr. Audrey Jacobsen (MD, MPH), to help us get to the root of the matter (apologies - hair puns are low-hangin fruit...). We'll go over why hair loss can happen, who's most at risk, and best yet, what can be done to treat or even prevent it. This is an obvious stressor for a lot of people, so thankfully we've got an expert to walk us through it, and hopefully keep the grays at bay. Join us!
