Hair Loss
Check-Up
treat the cause,
not the symptom.
Thinning, shedding, a receding hairline or bald patches — hair loss is distressing, and reaching for shampoos and supplements before you know the cause rarely works. Many common triggers are nutritional or hormonal, and they show up in blood. This panel checks the 14 markers behind hair loss so you treat the real problem.
Ferritin
Iron stores
TSH
Thyroid
Zinc
Follicle mineral
B1 · B6 · Folate
Hair vitamins
CBC
Blood count
Hair loss is a symptom. This finds the cause.
Alopecia affects both men and women — thinning hair, a receding hairline, bald patches, more shedding than usual, or a change in texture. Some daily loss is normal; noticeable thinning usually isn't. Beyond genetics and hormones, the most common causes are nutritional deficiencies and thyroid disorders — and those are exactly what a blood test can pin down.
This panel reads the markers most tied to hair health: ferritin (low iron stores are a leading, often-missed cause of shedding), TSH for thyroid function, zinc for follicle strength, and vitamins B1, B6 and folate for the metabolism that keeps hair growing. A full blood count rounds it out, flagging anemia or other issues that quietly drain hair health.
Rather than spending months on products that may not target your problem, you get a clear read on what's actually driving the loss. Most of these causes are straightforward to correct once you can see them — and hair often recovers when the underlying gap is fixed.
Before your draw: fast for 8–12 hours, stay hydrated with water, and avoid alcohol, fatty foods and intense exercise the day before. If you take biotin or iron supplements, mention it — they can affect certain readings.

After your results
Testing is step one.
Here's what helps next.
Correct the deficiency
If the test points to low iron, zinc or a vitamin, targeted diet changes or supplements are usually the most direct fix. A diet rich in protein, iron, zinc, biotin and folic acid supports regrowth.
Manage stress
Stress-related shedding is real. Techniques like yoga and meditation can meaningfully reduce stress-driven hair loss alongside any nutritional correction.
Be gentle with your hair
Avoid harsh chemicals and minimise heat styling to reduce breakage. Some essential oils, such as castor and rosemary, may support growth when applied topically.
Address the thyroid
If TSH is out of range, hair loss is often a symptom of a wider thyroid issue. Treating the thyroid — with your doctor — commonly improves the hair too.
