What Happens to Your Hair When You Stop Eating? (The ProteinConnection) 👱🏽

🚨 When people talk about fasting or extreme calorie restriction, they focus entirely on fat loss and metabolism. But there is a silent casualty of severe food deprivation that hits your reflection weeks later: your hair. 📉 In this video, we uncover the shocking biological connection between nutrient deprivation and sudden hair shedding. Your hair is made almost entirely of a tough protein called keratin. When you stop eating, or drastically cut calories, your body goes into extreme resource-allocation mode. It views your hair as a luxury it can no longer afford, shifting vital amino acids away from your scalp to protect your major organs. 🧬 We break down the exact timeline of a biological condition called Telogen Effluvium, how a lack of bioavailable protein shuts down the hair growth cycle, and how you can protect your hair follicles while still achieving your metabolic and fasting goals.
