Trouble with Keto?
What steps can I take to address hair loss after starting a ketogenic diet?
Hair loss on a ketogenic diet can be due to nutrient deficiencies. Ensure you're eating enough protein, ideally 4-8 oz per meal. Other key nutrients include B vitamins, trace minerals, and electrolytes.
Low stomach acid can hinder protein and collagen absorption, crucial for hair health. Symptoms include heartburn and bloating; remedies include apple cider vinegar.
Other causes:
- Biotin and vitamin D deficiencies
- Hormonal imbalances
- Antibiotics and antacids
- Aging (reduces stomach acid)
- Poor diet
- Stress
- Gut issues
Address these factors to support healthy hair growth.
