Combating COVID Hair Loss: A Pharmacist's Personal Journey & Potential Solution
Hair loss after a COVID-19 infection is a common concern, and one I experienced firsthand. Two and a half years ago, after contracting the virus, I dealt with significant hair loss in the following months. Determined to avoid a repeat, I took a proactive approach when I tested positive again in January of this year.
Developing a Targeted Solution
Leveraging my expertise as a pharmacist, I created a personalized formula specifically designed to prevent COVID-related hair loss. The goal: to keep my hair in the growth phase and prevent the excessive shedding often triggered by the infection.
Function Over Fashion: The Formula in Action
While the formula might not win any beauty awards, effectiveness trumps aesthetics in this case. Since starting a week after my positive test in January, I've been diligently using it every other day (ideally daily, life gets busy!).
Promising Results: Minimal Shedding and Hope
After my first encounter with COVID, the hair loss was undeniable. This time around, however, I'm thrilled to report–no significant shedding! In fact, even my natural hair loss seems to have slowed down.
A quick brush test reveals the difference just a few strands came out, a dramatic improvement from my pre-formula routine. Even with less careful brushing, the shedding is minimal. Interestingly, my symptoms were worse this time around, so I fully expected the hair loss to follow suit. Thankfully, that hasn't been the case.
Could This Formula Help You?
Based on my personal experience, this formula appears to be keeping my hair in the growth phase and preventing typical COVID-related shedding. I use it every other day, and the results so far are very encouraging.
While this is just a single case study, I hope the information and the details of the formula itself can be helpful for others worried about hair loss after COVID.

As women transition through perimenopause and menopause, a whirlwind of hormonal changes rewrites the body's operating manual. Sleep patterns become erratic, moods can swing like a pendulum, and one of the most visible transformations often plays out on the surface – the skin. That once-plump, radiant canvas can begin to lose its luster, replaced by dryness, a network of wrinkles, and a worrisome loss of elasticity. These changes can be a source of frustration and insecurity. But don’t worry! I have a passion for empowering women as they navigate the complexities of hormonal shifts. Here, I want to equip you with valuable knowledge and effective skincare strategies to combat these visible signs of aging and rediscover your skin's youthful glow. Estrogen's Impact on Skin Health and Potential Solutions Estrogen possesses "hyperproliferative effects," essentially stimulating tissue growth and thickness [1 (Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2020)]. During perimenopause and menopause, natural estrogen levels decline, leading to several visible changes in the skin:
Hey everyone, Jessica Patrone here! Yes, the pharmacist who records health tips from the most unexpected location–the bathroom. But before you think I've gone bananas (pun intended, with all the animals around!), let me explain. From Textbooks to Tailored Treatments: My Journey in Pharmacy I'm a pharmacist with over 20 years of experience, and let's just say my journey wasn't straight out of a textbook.

That responsibility is what drives me–it's why I get up and get nerdy about research.
Feeling imbalanced? Fluctuating hormones, particularly during perimenopause and menopause, can cause a variety of symptoms. Hormone therapy is one option that can help address these imbalances and improve your quality of life. But with any treatment, it's important to understand the potential benefits and risks. Exploring Hormone Therapy Options Hormone therapy involves supplementing your body's natural hormone production with medications. This can alleviate symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances. However, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. The type and dosage of hormones prescribed will depend on your unique situation and medical history. Weighing the Pros and Cons While hormone therapy can be very effective, it's important to be aware of both the potential benefits and drawbacks:
