A Root-Cause Approach to Hair Loss and Hair Health
Hair changes rarely happen in isolation. At Unscripted, we evaluate hair loss and thinning through a Functional Medicine lens — looking at hormones, thyroid, nutrients, inflammation, and stress — so we can address the cause, not just the symptom.
What We Evaluate
Common Hair Concerns We Evaluate
Why It Matters
Why Hair Loss Happens
Hair is one of the most metabolically demanding tissues in the body. When something is off upstream, hair often shows it first.
Hormone Changes
Shifts in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHT — common in perimenopause, postpartum, and andropause — can drive thinning, shedding, and pattern hair loss.
Thyroid Dysfunction
Both underactive and overactive thyroid states are classic drivers of diffuse hair thinning. A full thyroid panel is essential, not just TSH.
Stress
Acute stress events and chronic cortisol elevation can push hair follicles into a resting and shedding phase — often appearing months after the stressor itself.
Inflammation
Systemic inflammation — driven by gut issues, autoimmunity, or chronic illness — can disrupt the hair growth cycle and shorten the anagen phase.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Iron, ferritin, vitamin D, B12, zinc, and protein adequacy are essential for healthy follicles. Low ferritin in particular is a common, overlooked driver.
Aging
Hair follicles naturally miniaturize with age. Optimizing hormones, nutrients, and scalp health can meaningfully slow this process.
Our Functional Medicine Approach
Our Evaluation Process
We start where most providers don't — with a comprehensive look at the systems that drive hair health, not just the scalp.
Comprehensive History
We take a detailed history covering timing, family patterns, postpartum changes, hormonal shifts, stressors, diet, supplements, medications, and prior treatments.
Hormone Assessment
Evaluation of sex hormones, DHT, cortisol patterns, and when appropriate insulin and SHBG — to identify hormonal drivers of thinning and pattern loss.
Thyroid Evaluation
A full thyroid panel including TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, and antibodies (TPO, TGAb) when clinically indicated.
Nutrient & Lab Review
Iron, ferritin, vitamin D, B12, zinc, and inflammatory markers to identify the most common nutritional contributors to shedding and slow regrowth.
Functional Medicine Testing
When indicated, deeper testing of gut health, food sensitivities, and inflammation to uncover upstream contributors that influence hair and scalp health.
Targeted Treatment
Plans may include thyroid optimization, hormone support, nutrient repletion, peptide therapy, and PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) hair restoration when clinically appropriate.

Start with a thorough, unhurried evaluation built around your history, your symptoms, and your goals.
Hair Health Is a Whole-Body Signal
Healthy hair growth requires healthy hormones, a well-functioning thyroid, adequate nutrients, low inflammation, and a calm nervous system. When hair starts thinning, the body is usually telling us something upstream is off — and a topical product alone rarely resolves it.
That's why our evaluation looks beyond the scalp. We assess hormones, thyroid function, ferritin and other nutrients, stress patterns, and gut health to identify the real drivers. Treatment then becomes targeted: thyroid optimization, hormone balance, nutrient repletion, peptide support, and — when appropriate — PDGF hair restoration to stimulate follicle health directly.
Patients in Addison, North Dallas, Plano, and Frisco partner with us for an approach that treats hair loss as a clinical signal worth investigating, not a cosmetic afterthought.
