Hello and welcome to the Wellness Mama podcast. I'm Katie from Wellnesswama.com and I am back today with Faraz Khan for a round two. If you missed our first episode, we tackled how to combat thinning hair. And in this one, we dive deep on the topic of gray hair, which I admit is not something I have personal experience with yet. I'm grateful for seemingly good genetics here. However,

it's something I will potentially encounter in the future. I actually love the idea of having

white hair one day. However, not everybody wants to have gray hair or to gray early. And he dives into

what are some of the root causes of graying hair, especially early graying and what can be done

about it. I think you will learn a lot of this. I certainly did. And it turns out that a lot more is in our ability to affect change than I would have thought when it comes to when and how much our hair goes gray. So let's jump in and learn from him now. Vraz, welcome back. Thank you for being here again. Thank you for having me, Katie.

Well, if you guys missed it, we had a really amazing first episode, really deep dimming into

the root causes of hair loss and how there's so much in our control that we can do to not just

reverse this, but really, like, improve in such a dramatic way. And you shared your personal

story and amazing results, as well as I feel

like some really not well-known tips that seemingly make a tremendous difference. So that is linked

in the show notes. If you guys missed it, highly recommend listening. And in this one, I'm excited to learn

about a topic that I know relatively little about and am excited to know more about, which is

the topic of gray hair. And I would guess there is a genetic component here and I'm excited to know more about, which is the topic of gray hair. And I would guess

there is a genetic component here, and I'm thankful that I have seemingly, hopefully, good genes

in this category. But I have people of my family who don't, and my kids may not have the best

of genes when it comes to not getting gray hair early. So I'm guessing there's a lot that goes into

this as well. But what are some of the things going on when people get gray hair early. So I'm guessing there's a lot that goes into this as well. But what are

some of the things going on when people get gray hair? Yeah, totally. So there's the premature gray hair

that happens early, and then there's the regular time that you go gray. And that regular time

for most folks is Caucasians will start to go gray in their mid-30s, generally speaking,

and Asians will start to go gray late 30s, and then the African-American or Africans globally

will start to grow gray early to mid-40s. So that's how it plays out in terms of going gray.
