Book the $99 Symptom ConsultationThe hair loss signs we hear most often
If you nodded at three or more, your body is asking a deeper question.
You were told it is genetic, learn to live with it.
A fifteen-minute visit rarely has room to investigate why hair thins. So hair loss gets called genetic or stress, and the cause beneath it goes unexamined.
We will not hand you a shampoo and call it answered.
Here is where we part ways with conventional care. When hair thins, the reflex answer is a topical or the verdict that it is simply genetic. A product can coat the strand for a while. But nothing growing from a starved follicle holds, because the cause sits inside the body, in your hormones, thyroid, and nutrient stores, not on the surface of your scalp.
We would rather do the harder, more honest work. We find what is actually thinning your hair and we treat that.
If a topical or medication still has a place in your plan, that should be your informed choice, made with the full picture in front of you, not a default handed to you in a fifteen minute visit.
Hair loss runs in a loop. We map the whole circle.
Each driver pushes the next. That is why treating one in isolation rarely holds, and why mapping the full cycle changes everything.
When we investigate your hair, we read the whole hormonal and nutritional picture rather than the scalp alone, and connect each driver back to what you're seeing:
Your hair care plan: four steps, built around your body
Full thyroid, iron and ferritin, hormones, vitamin D and a scalp assessment, the workup a rushed visit skips.
We map your results onto the loop so you finally see why your hair is thinning.
Nutrition, targeted nutrients, scalp care and hormone support, sequenced to your labs, not a template.
We adjust as your follicles recover, so progress holds and density and regrowth keep improving.
My part stopped widening and the baby hairs came back. I stopped dreading the mirror.
Hair loss, answered plainly
Can functional medicine help hair loss?
Yes. We treat hair loss by addressing what is starving the follicle, thyroid, hormones, iron, and nutrients, rather than coating the strand. Most people see shedding slow and regrowth begin as the root causes are corrected.
What makes Dr. Ross different for hair loss?
Dr. Nina Ross is a board-certified trichologist as well as a functional medicine doctor, so she reads both the scalp and the internal causes and builds one plan that addresses the whole picture.
What testing do you run for hair loss?
We go beyond a basic panel, with full thyroid, iron and ferritin, hormones, and vitamin D, plus a scalp assessment, so the plan targets your specific root causes.
Is my hair loss reversible?
Often, yes, especially when we catch it before the follicle goes dormant. The earlier we find and correct the cause, the more regrowth tends to be possible.
How long until I see new growth?
Hair grows slowly, so shedding usually settles first, within a couple of months, and visible regrowth follows over several. We track it with you.
Can stress and postpartum changes cause this?
Yes. Both can push many follicles into shedding at once. We confirm the trigger and support your body so the cycle recovers.
Do you offer virtual hair loss care or only in person in Atlanta?
Both. See Dr. Nina Ross in person at our Atlanta clinic, or virtually anywhere in Georgia. Your $99 Symptom Consultation can be booked either way.
