Vanity of vanities....

My hair started falling out. My nails had become eggshelled (where they grow wavy). I was starting to freak out! No, more like FRRREEEEEEEEEEAAAAAKKKKKK OUT!!!

I had a friend who recently had experienced some thyroid issues. Nails and hair can be indicators of thyroid issues. Surely this had to be what was wrong with me too. I mentioned it to the doctor who asked if there was baldness in my family. Yes, there is. The doctor said she would check the thyroid but it was probably just male pattern baldness. WHHHHHHAAAAAATTTTTTT!?!?!?!?!

You have got to be kidding me!

The Problems:
1) I had picked up a fear that was not my own.
2) I took the doctor at her word. So much so I had started looking into wigs!

During The Ultimate Reset I went to see my hair artist, Suki. We had a conversation she simply said...it's probably nutrition.
Huh!?! *puzzled look on my face* Then I started to think.

The biggest beauty of Reset was really looking into ME. What do I do and why? I realized I wasn't getting enough nutrition. That changed during Reset. I improved my nutrition, become mindful of following Suki's recommendations and LOOK I have NEW hair growing!


Moral of the story...

1) Don't pick up a fear, experience, or concern that doesn't really belong to you.
2) Don't just take someone's word at face value. Dig a little deeper. The doctor may have gone to school for medicine but she isn't the one who has to live with my hair. I am responsible for my body.
