Anorexia, eating disorders & hair loss

Anorexia, eating disorders & hair loss

Dr Laura is a GP in Leeds, and also has a focus on functional medicine.
She says sometimes she feels rushed and struggles to build the relationship with patients that she would like to have. She has to focus on time critical conditions rather than those who may be seen as less serious.

As a young person, she had eczema and acne, and was bullied for this. She then later experienced anorexia, which led to hair loss. eventually she began to investigate what was causing her hair loss, and discovered that it can often be multi factorial.

Dr Laura has a great perspective of disordered eating from both a Doctor's and patient's point of view. She shares the difference between  anorexia and disordered eating, and how even those who are overweight can still be malnourished and could experience hair loss.

We also look at how to manage stress and high cortisol levels and the impact it can have on the hair.
