Most women who are going through hormonal changes, there will also be a sense of inflammation.

Now, inflammation for me is the biggest trigger up to anything hair related because what the

inflammation does, it tightens up the muscles, it restricts blood flow.

So there's less nutrition.

So if you are slightly deficient in vitamin B, B12, B9, your ferretin levels, all of that will cause hair

to fall out because hair is a non-vital organ. So all of our nutrition goes to our heart, our kidneys,

our lungs, and then whatever's left will go to our hair and our scalp.

Well, Gustav Fouchet just happens to be my hairdresser and trust me when I say he can support you with all those age and menopause-related changes that, well, you're likely seeing in your hair and your scalp.

I'm Liz Earle. Welcome to Age Better. And through the conversations on this podcast, I really want to share the knowledge and the tools that can help you

thrive in later life by taking action today because, well, here's what I've learned.

Decline is not inevitable. And when we understand what our bodies truly need, we really can age

better. And one of the many people who has helped me personally is Gustav Fashe. He has

created incredible looks for red carpet events, celebrity photo shoots, weddings. But it's the

women that he meets at his Notting Hill salon that he loves spending most time with.

So I was actually introduced to Gustav a few years ago.

And honestly, I have not looked back in terms of the quality of my hair and the way it's

been conditioned.

And what I've learned and so many unusual and different things that you probably won't

hear from another hairdresser.

So I'm super excited to be sharing this with a wider audience because he is the man, truly, who knows what ageing, our environment, our diet,

and also using certain products, what this is all doing to our hair health and how to combat, well, pretty much everything,

from hair thinning to itchy scalps and more.
