Hi everybody and welcome back to the Alopecia Angel Podcast. I'm your host, Johanna Dahlman and today we're going to be talking about blocks to healing your hair loss. And what I talk about blocks is we all have blocks, whether it's mindset, fear, doubt, or whether it's us saying something to ourselves.

But here I am, I'm going to go ahead and list them and talk about each one one by one because maybe you're on the fence, maybe you're not believing that this is for you. Let's just go ahead and dive in because I would say the number 1 block holding people back is thinking that healing is going to come in a pharmaceutical like in a pill or in some sort of potion or in some sort of one size fits all approach.

Let's go ahead and debunk that a little bit. This is why nothing has worked for you in the past. This is exactly why you are here either listening or you've recently joined the program or you're thinking about joining the Hair N' Heal program. I understand that you're a little jaded by things that have not worked for you, but this is why it's not worked for you. First of all, because it's not a tailored approach. Second of all, because it's a one size fits all. What do I mean by that? Just like a t shirt, a one size fits all, it'll fit somebody who's extra small to extra large and anything beyond that or in between or anything within that, right?

But this is the problem with hair loss gimmicks, whether it's the pill, the potion, the serum, the oils, the shampoo, anything else that's out on the market. It's a one size fits all approach. It's saying that Nancy, Sally, Daisy and Lucy all have the same type of hair loss. This is what they're thinking, the people who create these products, that we all have hair loss and it's the same, and the reasons are all the same. This is why the serum, the potion, the lotion is gonna work, or the medication in this case as well, because I'll throw in pharmaceuticals under the bus as well, and it doesn't work.

It hasn't worked for you, it hasn't worked for your little one, or for your child that you're seeking a natural way for, because a one size fits all approach cannot work. I'm 100% convinced about this, not only in my own journey, but then also in the thousands of people who I've helped in over 66 countries, having a one size fits all approach submits you to having risks, submits to you for the 'solution' and I use air quotes when I say that the solution to not work for you. They're not taking into consideration any other condition, health concern, allergy, ailment that you might have and that's crucial. That's absolutely imperative.

This is why the Hair N' Heal program sees success. It sees success 100%. Now, 90% of the people who do the Hair N' Heal program see hair growth before 8 weeks and it's 100% possible whether you have scarring alopecia, alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, alopecia universalis, whether you have telogen effluvium, stress induced, COVID induced, you know, hormone, PCOS, whatever the situation that you have.

I've seen it and I've seen people start with hair growth as soon as week 2, week 1, week 3, week 4, week 5, week 6, and so on and so forth. And that's 90% of the clientele see hair growth in less than eight weeks. Now the 10% they see hair growth, but it's going to be after the 8 weeks, it'll be maybe in week 10, maybe in month 3 or 4 or 5. It just all depends, right? It's not a one size fits all approach.

But what I will say is that the Hair N' Heal program is a tailored approach to you. So whether you're a 5 year old doing the program or a 15 year old or 35 or 65 or 75, it's all going to look different because we're all different and we all have a different resume of sorts. We all have different upbringings, beginnings, where we live, what we eat, everything is going to look different. Our allergies, just everything is going to be different. So the way you approach healing has to be individualized and I believe that is the key success to my program.

So this is one thing. I believe that the number 1 block is thinking that a one size fits all approach is going to work for you, whether that's the laser caps, the minoxidil, the Rogaine, the serums, the lotions, the potions, the pharmaceuticals, etc. Because it won't, it won't, it won't, it won't. It's not always going to work for everybody. So if you're still looking for the one size fits all, then you know, you're going to keep chasing your tail because it's not going to happen.

This is more than likely why you've reached me and why you've come to me and why even people call me the last resort because they're fed up with all the one size fits all approaches. They love the customization and they see results because again, it's tailored to them, it has to be customed. It really does because we don't all have the same fingerprint, because we don't all have the same blood type because we don't all have the same diet and lifestyles. We just don't, so that's the number one. That's really the big elephant, and it's the very obvious block that most people have.

A second block would be limiting beliefs and limiting beliefs is you telling yourself: Oh, this isn't going to work for me or: Oh, you know, I've already spent so much money on doing so many things and now I'm scared that if I spend money, this is not going to work and I'm telling you, it's a proven method and it is going to work and you just need to take action.

And so many times it's us ourselves limiting our own selves from what's possible for us because of these limiting beliefs, and this is not just in hair loss, this is in everything, whether we go for the promotion, whether we choose to concrete a relationship, whether that's friendship or personal or, you know, marriage or anything else. A lot of that sometimes is rooted in fear and fear holds you back. Fear of the unknown, fear of you losing, fear of being jaded again with spending money and not having the results you want. So a lot of times. It's the limiting beliefs where we hold ourselves back.

And that's a big one because no one can help you overcome those except for you. You have to have faith, you have to believe that it's possible for you regardless of your situation, regardless of how quote unquote severe your hair loss is. I've seen it all. I've seen the worst to even the best possible situations with hair loss and it's all come about, it's all happened for my clients.

They've all seen the hair growth, so you can see hair growth, you can see the health, you can see all these things upgrade themselves, but without holding yourself back and by taking action. And sometimes when we have a little bit of fear, that's the push that we need to move forward, that's the nudge that we need to up level ourselves. Because I will say, nothing grows in comfort. And if you're thinking that you want the process to get your hair back to be very comfortable, very easy, like putting a lotion, potion, or serum on your head, it's not gonna work. And you will continue to fail.

And then when it comes to other blocks, sometimes it's us in general. So not just our limiting beliefs and what we think and all this negative chit chat that goes on in our head. But a lot of times it's also us that we're like: Oh, I don't have time or, oh, I don't have this or: Oh, you know, I can't do it for X, Y, Z reason. I've seen so many different clients in so many various situations, whether they were living in a dorm room in college. whether they live in a hotel because they work so much and they travel for work so much where they're in a hotel more than at their own home. I've seen situations where you know, people are truck drivers and they're doing the program or they're delivery drivers and they're doing the program.

So whatever your situation is, know that people in your same shoes have gone before you, have done the program and have seen the results. So the only reason that you're waiting to do something is because you are wanting to see somebody who fits your same model, your same hair loss, your same situation, your same condition, your same ailments, your same everything. When in reality, that's just an excuse, that's an excuse to remain in your pity party, that's an excuse to not move forward, that's an excuse to not be your best self.

It might sound a little harsh, but that's exactly what this is. I don't sugarcoat things, I really don't. I am very forward and straight up and this is the way that, that, you know, I see it. There are so many people who would have so many excuses. I actually just had a client sign up, literally, like 2 weeks ago or 3 weeks ago. And the day after, he lost his job and he got into an accident, and he's still doing the program. And so, it doesn't matter the circumstance, you can still do the program.

Because I gotta tell you, from someone who's been there, who's had the alopecia, who's been in the black hole, in the pit of desperation, health is so much more important than anything else on earth. Because without it, you can't grow in your career, without it you can't grow in your relationships ,without it you can't be your best self without it you're not going to come forth and share your gifts with the world, without it you're going to be limiting yourself in all your the opportunities and all the possibilities because of fear.

Because we already know what alopecia leads us to think and feel. We already know that we don't want to go outside. Of our home because of our hair loss, we already know that we don't want to play basketball, go swimming, go boating and do all these other activities that we love to do because of our hair loss. So that's only going to create, a vicious scenario of whether we continue to isolate ourselves instead of taking the action of moving forward, getting the healing and having hair growth and moving forward with our beautiful lives.

So a lot of times, those blocks are rooted in you yourself, and in the story you tell yourself, because these are just excuses. Again, I've had people in college do the program, children as young as 8 months do the program with of course, their parents and families and, you know, there are no excuses. It doesn't matter how old you are, it doesn't matter what type of hair loss you have, it doesn't matter what your circumstances are, all these other conditions, ailments, circumstances, you can overcome this. You can heal, and your hair is waiting for you to take action. It's waiting for you to go to that next level.

Another block that I see is the fear and the doubt. And these 2 I kind of touched upon earlier, but those go hand in hand, because the fear is one thing, and then doubt is the other. Oh, I'm gonna, you know, get my hair, but then it'll come back out. Or I actually even see this in some clients, you know, they start the hair growth quickly, like in week 2, week 3, but then like this fear creeps in or this doubt of what if my hair falls out again, what if I have alopecia again? You know, the possibility is always going to be there, but if you take action, you follow the program step by step, well then guess what? You won't experience it ever again.

And I will say, if you haven't heard or you don't know this about me, is that after alopecia, after having a baby, I was able to navigate my hair loss situation so much where I avoided 100% postpartum hair loss. Now, I don't know how many people that you know have it have been able to do that, but I have, and this is the beautiful thing is that once you understand your own situation, then you won't ever experience it again. You have the control.

It's like understanding your own car and its own nuances, or why your house makes noises here and there, or why the refrigerator acts up. Because you know your appliances, you know your children, you know your stuff. And you'll know yourself much more within the program, understanding all these things that I walk you through, and it's a beautiful thing because then you become very attuned to your body, and then you know exactly what's needed so that again, hair loss never comes again.

After my alopecia, once I healed, not only did I get pregnant at the first try at 40, but then I also had COVID. I also had many stressful events postpartum, but I never saw the hair loss. It never came back. And again, it's because once you know what you need to know, then you can put it into action and never see the hair loss again. And that's having full control over your health, over your hair, over your happiness. You know, having peace of mind, having freedom with hair loss, and this is the goal. This is the goal that I want for everybody, not just to heal in less time, but to have that peace of mind and freedom.

And for you parents listening to this, this is something that potentially you were guiding your children to doing and to healing now, especially if they're younger and you know, they don't understand like, you know, 5 year olds, 4 year olds, so on and so forth. But then you also pass the torch at some point you pass the torch and you give them the tools and the knowledge so that they don't have to experience this ever again.

That gift alone is priceless, that gift alone of health of hair, of full opportunity, full possibility without feeling like you're less than, without feeling like you're an anomaly or some sort of outsider because you have this autoimmune disease, which you can't hide, or this hair loss situation that you can't hide and just creates a shell of ourselves, that's so powerful. And this is exactly what I do. I give you the power so that you can take control of your own situation for once and for all, never again, having to experience, a vicious cycle or a hair loss episode.

And I think the last block that I'd want to touch upon is really more of an example, not necessarily a block, but more of an example. And sometimes when I see on my Facebook page or when I see like on other forums or pages for alopecia or for hair loss, you see a lot of people who are bitter and who are kind of upset at the world and they like to criticize, right? But that's what people do when they're upset, when they're triggered, when they're not happy with their current situation. And many times it is the hair loss, right?

And so I see this on a continuous and consistent basis where there's probably, you know, a few people, not the grand majority, but a few people who revert to the negativity, who revert to the pity party, who revert to the woe is me, who revert to the: This is not alopecia because this is not how it shows up for me. And that's another thing to debunk, is that hair loss, alopecia, it means the same. Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss and hair loss shows up in different ways, in different patterns, in different mannerisms for everyone. It's not always going to be the same.

Now, in general, are there certain patterns that I've seen after treating so many thousands of people? Yeah, of course, there are patterns that I realize is everyone going to fit in that mold? No. What I'm trying to say here is that that negativity, that person who responds in a bitter, angry manner, they're showing and demonstrating to me that they're very hurt, that they're very upset about their current situation. And many times no one has allowed them or you or me even to believe that healing was possible, that diet and lifestyle were the key to healing.

And what I teach you here in the Hair N' Heal program is beyond diet and lifestyle. It's got numerous buckets and categories that are too long to list and it's a very comprehensive and in depth program for you to understand where you've gone wrong. And that evaluation, the 10 page evaluation that we start with is the key to your success, to your blind spots, to seeing where you've gone wrong, because that's the biggest portion, right?

It's almost like taking a test and having the teacher give you back the remarks of why this is incorrect, of why you got a 75% instead of 100. We want to understand why. For math, You know, let's say the topic of math. We understand that if it didn't equal out, then, you know, obviously it's wrong. But let's say if it's English class or, you know, a different type of class, we still want to understand exactly where we went wrong. At least most people would want to write and why we're not getting 100% or an A on that test or on that class, right?

And this is the same thing, these are life lessons. These are lessons that no one's been teaching us. No one taught me, I had to learn this the hard way. And at the same time, it was great because again, it's given me the gift of healing, it's given me the gift of my hair. It's given me the gift of helping others, it's given me the gift of understanding exactly where I went wrong. Because had I not known it wouldn't come up naturally. No doctor was going to tell me this.

I had to get really, really analytical with myself and to have and create that self awareness to really figure this out. But that took me 4 years. So I don't want this to take you 4 years or 10 years on top of anything else that you've already been experiencing. So I will say, let me leave you with this. If you are experiencing hair loss, any type, and it's too much for you, then it's too much point blank.

Don't go by the averages of what you see on an online search, whether it says, you know, 50 to a hundred hairs a day is normal. I'm telling you that's not normal for me. And if that's not normal for you, we can reduce that. I will say too, don't believe everything that people tell you that there's no cure, that this is not possible, that healing naturally is not a viable solution. And I'm telling you right now, it's the only solution. If you don't give yourself the opportunity to heal naturally, you will never heal. Medications do not do this, serums, potions, lotions do not do this. These are just band aids. These are all gimmicks.

It has to be a tailored approach and until we close the gap in education with the medical system around the world I'd say, we're not going to find a personalized health care that truly cares. Does this make sense? Because the health care that we know today is a business and it's a business that wants you on drugs for the rest of your life. Whether that's Ozempic, which is like one of the latest dieting pills or the newest pills that are coming out, but they want you all to be on these pills for life. That's the goal because that's how they make money, but that's not the case here.

This is your only option to heal holistically, naturally supporting your own body and with a tailored approach to you, customized to you, whether you're the child, the teenager, a young adult, or, you know, the full adult. All your circumstances are going to look different, all your situations are going to be different and need to be evaluated as such.

So I hope this helps and helping you figure out if at all, you have any of these blocks because at the end of the day, all these blocks go back to you and you're the one either accepting them or say: No, no, thank you, I'm going to take the leap of faith. I'm going to do this for me because that's the empowered step is to do this for you because no one else is going to come and save you. No one else is going to come and give you that hair growth. And potentially you can do this on your own, but lo and behold, it'll take you years, decades. For me at the time, 4 years was plenty, plenty of torture, plenty of suffering, plenty of crying that I could have used that time for so many other things.
