If your ponytail feels thinner…
If your part looks wider…
If you're finding more hair in the drain and getting told “it’s just stress”…

You’re not crazy, and you’re not alone.

In this episode of the Root Cause Rx Podcast, I’m breaking down what your hair is actually trying to tell you — and why it’s not just about stress, hormones, or biotin.

We’ll cover:• The 6 most common root causes of hair loss (and the exact labs I run)• How thyroid, iron, blood sugar, and hormone shifts all play a role• The difference between shedding vs. breakage — and why it matters• Why postpartum or post-pill hair loss doesn’t mean you’re broken• How to start rebuilding from the inside out (without jumping to HRT or gimmicks)

This isn’t just about vanity.
It’s about vitality.
It’s about learning to decode the signal — and give your body what it needs to feel safe again.

You used to feel unstoppable after that first sip of coffee…
Now it barely moves the needle.
Or worse, it makes you anxious, jittery, or totally numb.

If you’ve ever thought:
👉 “Why am I still so tired?”
👉 “Is something wrong with me?”
👉 “Should I just try a stronger roast?”

This episode is for you.

Because this isn’t just about caffeine.
It’s about what your body is trying to tell you, about stress, burnout, hormones, and energy that’s been running on fumes for way too long.

In this episode, Dr. Nate breaks down:

• Why caffeine stops working (it’s not just tolerance)

• What it reveals about your HPA axis, mitochondria, and nervous system

• The hormone-caffeine crash cycle — especially in women

• What your labs can show (cortisol, thyroid, iron, DHEA, and more)

• How to rebuild real energy — from the inside out

You’ll learn:

• How to buffer your nervous system before stimulation

• Why protein before coffee is a game-changer

• What to expect when your body finally stops running on adrenaline

This isn’t about cutting caffeine forever.
It’s about listening to what your fatigue is trying to say — and finally giving your body the safety and support it needs to heal.

You were handed the pill to “regulate” your cycle… but were you ever told what it actually does to your hormones?

In this episode, we go deep, not to scare you, and not to shame the tool, but to give you the full story most people never got. From how birth control really works, to what that monthly “period” actually means, to why so many women feel disconnected from their body years later… this is the honest, grounded, root-cause conversation we should’ve all had before that first prescription.

We’ll cover:
• The history of the pill — and the psychology behind the placebo week
• What it really means to “regulate” your hormones
• Why so many symptoms are muted, not healed
• What labs and patterns to look at instead (cortisol, thyroid, blood sugar, ovulation)
• What happens after you stop — and how to support your body through it
• How to rebuild hormone balance, not just suppress symptoms

Whether you're still on birth control, thinking about coming off, or just wondering why your body feels off, this episode is your missing chapter.

🧠 You’re not broken.
💬 Your symptoms are not random.
❌ You didn’t miss the memo — the system never gave it to you.
