About this listen

 I talk with award-winning trichologist Kate Holohan to discuss a topic that catches so many of us off guard: the dramatic ways menopause can transform our hair and scalp. As a hair and scalp specialist with over two decades of experience, Kate is an expert in navigating the confusing world of shedding, thinning, and texture changes that often accompany hormonal shifts. From spotting early warning signs like Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia to understanding why go-to products might suddenly be failing, this conversation will shift your perspective from frustration to proactive care, and leave you equipped with the clinical knowledge you need to advocate for your hair health, whether that’s at the pharmacy, the salon, or the doctor's office Kate Reveals How trichologists bridge the gap between cosmetic care and medical diagnosis. Why menopause triggers hair changes, and removes a protective element, allowing testosterone to convert more easily into DHT, which can lead to genetic thinning. Why permanent scarring conditions like Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA) early diagnosis is vital Why significant shedding is often a low-level marker or a physical warning from your body that something is out of balance BEST MOMENTS "Your hair is a barometer of your overall health." "It’s not vanity to want to nurture and look after your hair... if it’s bothering you, then it is a problem." "We need to get rid of this 'oh it’s just getting old, it’s just this, it’s just that'. Don't accept it." "The earlier you get help, the better your prognosis will be."
