Here's how I helped save my health, my hair and scalp.

Hi, I'm Kerri Jarrett, the hair coach. My introduction to hair loss was a scary one; as I always thought I was a healthy person. I was physically active, ate right, and lived a happy life.

Here's where it started...

One day, I was in the shower washing my hair, and clumps of hair were coming out into my hands like a scene from a horror movie! That's right, clumps!

Years later, with no resolve from specialists, a coworker in the salon suggested Celiac. All my tests came back negative. Years later, I ended up in the hospital with 80% of my lungs covered in blood clots (Pulmonary Embolisms).

What the heck was going on?! I needed some serious help.

My doctors taught me that conventional tests for these symptoms often come back inconclusive. My health journey got even harder.

I knew something was wrong. I wasn't going crazy!

During a trip to Vancouver for a hair show, my Doctor set me up with a colleague of his. This Doctor was researching autoimmune disorders. He said the body has its way of communicating with us. In my situation, it was my hair falling out, telling me something internal was going on. It is signs like this - when we need to figure out what the body is trying to tell us.

General practice saved my life when I was rushed to the hospital, specialized medicine helped figure out what was wrong with me, and functional medicine helped me solve and resolve.

This journey is what led me to dive into the study of Trichology, Epigenetics, and Nutrition. I learned the tight connection between mind, body, spirit. It is a delicate balance of how it all comes together to affect your health and appearance.

Hair carries a lot of the answers, through its appearance, the shaft itself, and the root. This is because it shares the same embryological origin with that of the brain.

What is your hair telling you, or lack of hair?
