Hello, I'm Lizile and a very warm welcome to Age Better. And I love that we have dedicated

Monday's shows to you because I get to know what's on your mind and what I can hopefully help with.

And what I love even more is when I hear back how you're getting on after I have answered your question,

just like Andrea, who emailed me during the week saying,

Liz, thank you so much for your thoughtful and insightful response regarding my hair loss concerns.

I truly appreciated it and was genuinely encouraged by your perspective.

You're absolutely right that hormones could be a key driver here.

I've been on hormonal pills for Picos most of my life.

And with perimenopause entering the picture, it feels like a plausible root cause.

I will connect with my doctor to run the tests you recommended and will try monoxidil as well.

I was especially intrigued by your suggestions around rosemary oil and micronding for hair.

That was a real eye-opener, not something I'd ever considered, but it makes such a lot of sense.

Overall, such a comprehensive and practical overview, I'm truly impressed. A heartfelt thank you. Well, thank you, Andrea.

That's really lovely. It's just so great when we get feedback here into the show. And I love the way

that you've joined the dots up, you know, in a really smart way too, because Pecos plus perimenopause

truly is a big hormonal mix. So it makes total sense to explore that properly

rather than just kind of guessing. And yeah, great. You're open to try new things like the rosemary

oil and microneedling. You know, when I first learned about that too, for me it was kind of a total,

why didn't I know the sooner territory? Because yeah, it makes such great sense.

And I think for so many it can be really helpful. So thank you for taking the time to get back

in touch. Well, if you have a question that you'd like me to answer, please do get in touch

because the contact details are in the episode description and at the end of the show, super easy.
