Awaken to hair growth. Awaken to hair growth because there is possibility to get your hair back. Awaken to hair growth because we're not told that we're able to conquer and overcome alopecia. Awaken to hair growth because I want to be a positive light and beacon for you because I've healed my alopecia and now I help others do the same with different types of alopecia, men, women, children, of all ages, of all races and ethnicities.

Hi everybody and welcome back to the alopecia angel podcast. I am your host, Johanna Dahlman and today we are going to talk about. Steps to Healing. And this is just a tidbit of information from my free training that I offer, today is the first day of our free training.

I tend to offer these periodically, and so you can always sign up on my website and see when the next free training will be available. So today we start the three part training. It's learn how to heal and reverse alopecia in four steps. And we do this in a three part series because there's a lot of information, there's a lot of questions and answers.

There's a lot of personal touch and contact with me. I'm giving the trainings, I'm answering questions. I will be holding office hours and so this is important for you to just get more information, to see and understand what else is out there. Especially if this is your first time looking into alternative medicine or alternative options for your alopecia.

Because most people just like me start by going to seeing a doctor, a dermatologist, maybe they see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 doctors, and they all maybe say the same or give out the same lotions and potions and injections and steroids or immunosuppressant drugs with that have lots of ramifications and side effects.

And for those of you who are parents, I know you don't want that for your children and for those of you who are adults. Maybe you weigh the consequences. Oh, is it okay? Is my hair worth it? And for a lot of you, you guys take the medicine and I did too at one point I took the medicine in the beginning.

I tried it once and then I started looking at the ramifications and the side effects and I was like, no, thank you. I don't want to do this, because I knew that a better future, a better hair, better health was on my horizon. Granted it took me three and a half years, but I got there and so more than seven years later, I have all my hair.

And my health and everything else is on point and that's where I want to bring you. I want you to have the hair and the health, and I want you to thrive. Because it's possible and it's possible to do it naturally in less time. With long term results without side effects, without any risks to your health or to any other organs or to your fertility or to any other Part of your body. 

And so this is what I'm all about. This is what I preach and I love talking about this, so let's get into it. So the first step that I talk about in my four part, three part training is that there needs to be an evaluation and many of you think, okay. When I see the doctor, when I see the specialist, they're evaluating me.

But no, they're not. What they're doing is putting you in a box and giving you out the same candy per the same treatment options that they have in their toolbox that they're giving to everybody else. So if Jane, Jack, Jill, and Johanna go to see the same doctors and dermatologists, they will probably be getting the whole same treatment.

And it's not customized and it's not personalized. And I think this is where conventional medicine fails us on so many levels because it's not personalized. They're not taken into consideration anything they're like, yep. Ready to do the injections, lay down. Let's, look at your head and do this, or let's get you this minoxidil or rogaine, or let's get you, this topical cream or let's get you the square acid, or let's get you this, or let's get you that.

But that's the same situation for everybody and if you know, by now, Or maybe you haven't realized it. Alopecia is not one size fits all. It's not, and it can't be and many times you hear, oh, but there's no cure for alopecia. There's no cure for it. Well, they say there's no cure because again, it's not one size fits all.

You can't take the same headache medicine and Guarantee that everyone's headache is gonna go away. You can do that with Advil, with Tylenol, with a leave and with so many other with an aspirin, right? You can take away the headache and this is why we can quote unquote, cure the headache, right?

But that doesn't happen with one pill or one cream, or one medication for Alopecia. Does that make sense? It's not a one size fits all and therefore it has to be customized. It has to be evaluated. And I take pride in my evaluation because it's 10 pages long. It's extremely thorough. And we go through the granular things that really are blind spots and really are culprits.

Two, your health, too, your hair loss to your personal situation. And what I like to say is that it's so personal. It's so customized in my program, in, in healing alopecia is that it has to be because I have many clients who are 55 and going through menopause and you can't treat the five year old. Who's essentially barely, starting life the same way that you treat a lady who's in their fifties or forties or thirties, right? 

It's very different. You can't treat the 15 year old the same way you do a 65 year old. And I've had clients from eight months to 75 years old and everything in between. And it looks very different and it not just in hair loss, but then also in the ancillary situations that they have some have thyroid issues.

Some are diabetics, some have high cholesterol, some have this, some have. You understand? I mean, if you look around in your friends and family, you'll see that not everyone is the same, even though you all live under the same roof, right? We all have different health concerns, different health situations, different periods in life that we're going through, whether that's puberty, menopause, perimenoause or anything else in between maybe you just got out of a pregnancy, maybe you're breastfeeding. These are all different situations that you have to take into consideration. And so again, it's not one size fits all. It can't be. So if there's any treatment that you're thinking about that has a one size fits all components, run.

Run Far, because it's not going to help you a one size fits all approach. Won't help you. Won't give you sustained results long term. And it takes a lot of self-awareness like huge amounts of self-awareness to really see and uncover what's really going on. And this is why it took me over three and a half years because I was just like beating the dead horse, like over and over and over.

And I was going to figure this out. And I did with the grace of God. I did, I really did. And so, because of that, now I'm able to help you. I'm able to help your children. I'm able to help men and women in more than 60 countries around the world. And again, it's personalized cuz we don't all have the same diet.

We're not all, meat eaters. We're not all vegan. We're not all vegetarian. We're not all kosher. We're not all, observe Ramadan. We don't all do things the same way we. Have the same culture. We don't have the same ethnicity. We don't have the same city or stores or anything. And so because of this, I've seen so much success, not just in the hair growth, but then in the people in different countries.

And that's the beauty and the imperative absolute, most critical point to this is that it has to be evaluated and it has to be customized to you. And if there's anything that you can learn or take away from me at all. Is that it needs to be personalized and healing as possible. And maybe that's where conventional medicine has it wrong.

They're tripping over the non customized part. They are not doing what they need to do in order to get you the exact results for you. Does that make sense? it's almost like. We're in school, we're all in the same class. We're all learning the same subject, but at the same time, some of us need an explanation in a different way.

Some of us need a tutor. Some of us need an extra hand here and there, and that's the way it is for alopecia. We're not all the same. We're all at different points in our journey when we start. The healing process, especially when you come to me, you're already at a certain stage. You're either very new to alopecia or maybe you've had it for many decades or maybe you're somewhere in between, but it all looks very different for everybody.

And so this is why customization the evaluation. It's a 10 page evaluation and I get through everything that I need to see in order to recommend you, the certain recommendations so that you can see success in less time. And that's a huge component because no one did that for me. And probably no one has done that for you just yet.

And so this is the first step in healing. It's the evaluation and the customization, because without that then you're at a loss, without that then you're still in the same trap of taking medicine, or taking supplements, or taking this, or taking that, thinking that this one thing is gonna help you.

Whether that's PRP, the biotin or whether that's the rogaine or whether that's this, none of that on its own works, none of it individually, and even altogether, it still doesn't work because you're still not getting to the root cause.

And the root cause looks different for everybody. And so this is why this is so imperative to do you have to have the evaluation. And so I leave you today with our first step. Our first step to healing is the evaluation and the customization. Without that you're spinning your wheels and you're wasting your money.

So this is first and foremost and it's needed for the children, it's needed for the adults, it's needed for everybody who wants to heal. And Just to have you understand a little bit more many times what happens is that I end up treating the whole family. So for example, I'll have a parent who comes to me because they wanna heal their child.

And from there they realize that the dad or the mom don't have alopecia, but they have a bunch of other ancillary health concerns that they want me to help them with. And so when I do, then they see health expand and. Become over abundant in their household. And this is key because when we're on the track of getting healing and health, then it almost has a domino effect within our families.

For those of you who don't know me, I've been in transition. I've just moved to another country, to another country. And I've been staying with my family over the summer and hanging out with them. It hasn't been great. And I've been living in Europe for these past five years. I finally came back to California.

I've been hanging out with them and it was great to see them and spend like two and a half months with them, which was so needed, especially post COVID. Right. It's been so great. And being with them, they all wanted to get on this healthy bandwagon because they see me, they see the results, they see how I'm healthy, I'm thriving.

And even after a baby and after so much weight gain, I'm back to being healthier and back to looking great. And feeling healthy primarily. Right? And so it's almost a domino effect. It's a trickle down effect where people want to gravitate and people do gravitate towards, towards you once you're shining and once you're healthier.

And once you're exuding that just brightness, that brightness that, that you give off. And my family has definitely gravitated towards me, definitely picked my brain for tips and tricks. And I kind of got everybody on a healthier track. When you're left to your own demise, you kind of go back to your comfort zone.

You go back to your routine, but then once you start to understand and learn more about how this affects you immediately, how the alopecia angel method can help many people beyond just alopecia. Then you start to see the results and you start to implement and you get to see how your health just, spurs and grow Immensely. 

And so that's the key here is to evaluate and to customize because even going through my mom's supplements, cuz I'm curious like that. I can see that there. That there's some supplements that she shouldn't be taking. And there's some supplements that cause inflammation and there's other supplements that are just like, downright not good for her or that she's taking and wasting her money on.

And so this is a key component too, because many times we think that supplements are the magic key to unlocking our unleashing, our health and power. And sometimes they're holding us back. And so there's many things that we could be doing that I see a lot of times in my clients, whether. Certain things that they're eating, certain things that they're doing or how they're living or their definite lifestyle or  what they're doing on a regular basis.

That's holding them back and this leads me into my next step, but I will leave that for another day. So Just understand that the evaluation, the customization is critical and without it, you're just gonna be spinning your wheels, wasting your money and time on treatments and on things that don't work, because it's not customized to you because if you start looking at my last podcast that I talked about, it was like the 10 things that don't work for alopecia.

I included in their PRP and laser helmets, and a bunch of other things. If you think about all those things that I mention. None of it is customized. It's a one size fits all approach. And if you think about the serums and the shampoos and the vitamins and this and that, it's a one size fits all approach.

So none of it is gonna work because none of it is tailored to you. Does that make sense? You are special and just like we're all special snowflakes. It has to be tailored to you because you can be having other health concerns or taking certain medications or taking this or doing this or doing that, that are counteracting against the laser helmet, or this, or that or whatever it is that you're trying. And so it cannot ever be a one size fits all it won't ever be.

And this is why they say there's no cure to alopecia, cuz it's not one Tylenol is gonna fix it all for everybody cuz it won't. And this is why you even see reports of people who've used Rogaine or Minoxidil or this or that, and the results Aren't hair growth. It's the opposite. It's hair loss. It's burns to the scalp. It's, it's a bunch of negative side effects. Cause all those things have negative side effects and they wouldn't list them on the package. If it wasn't true. And so they listed on the package, they listed on their websites because it's happened to a percentage of people.

So it's something for you to take into consideration that the evaluation customization is absolutely what will unleash your possibilities. What will unleash and free you from the shackles of the one size fits all, cuz it doesn't alopecia is so different for everybody. And then we also have different types of alopecia and this compounds into the need and the requirement for customized plan for you because it's not again, one size fits all.

So I hope this has been helpful. I look forward to seeing everybody in the training who has Signed up and We start today.
