Hair loss can be deeply personal and frustrating—especially when answers are hard to find.

As someone who’s faced alopecia herself, she offers both medical expertise and personal empathy to help you reclaim your confidence.
What Causes Hair Loss? Common Alopecia Triggers
Hair loss is a reflection of what’s happening internally and is often the result of multiple underlying root causes unique to each individual. Your hair loss could be linked to:
- Autoimmune Triggers (Alopecia Areata, Hashimoto’s)
- High Stress & Cortisol Dysregulation (Telogen Effluvium)
- Hormonal Imbalances (Androgenic Alopecia, PCOS, Thyroid Dysfunction, Estrogen Dominance)
- Nutrient Deficiencies (Vitamin D, Iron, Selenium, Zinc, & more)
- Gut Dysbiosis, Leaky Gut & Malabsorption Issues
- Chronic infections (Lyme, EBV, Mycotoxins)
Comprehensive Lab Testing
At Cura Integrative Medicine, we go beyond standard labs to get a full picture of what’s happening inside your body. Through advanced functional lab testing, we can identify underlying root-causes for a targeted plan for healing. Many standard lab tests miss subtle imbalances because they only look at broad “normal” ranges. We take a functional approach, evaluating optimal levels to ensure your body is functioning at its best.
Below is an overview of the markers we evaluate during our diagnostic process:
| Testing Category | Markers Evaluated |
|---|---|
| Gut Health & Absorption | Microbiome Testing, Leaky Gut Markers |
| Hormones | Thyroid, Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, DHT, Cortisol |
| Nutrient Status | Iron, Ferritin, Zinc, B12, Vitamin D |
| Inflammatory Markers | CRP, Homocysteine, Autoimmune Panels |
