Hello, everybody, and welcome back to the Alopecia Angel podcast I am your host,
Johanna Dahlman. I am so, so, so thrilled to be here today. I have so much news, but
then at the same time, I have clients seeing currently in week 3, so much progress with
their hair growth. So congratulations to Lana from the UK and congratulations to Melina
as well, who's seen not just fuzzy hair growth, but dark pigmented hair growth in her
alopecia areata bald spot. So this is fantastic and it's only week 3, people. This is the
amazing power of healing your body.
The other thing I wanted to let you know is that we have an ongoing free training for the
hormone and thyroid. So if you have hormone, thyroid concerns, PCOS, menopause,
you name it. Anything related to hormone or thyroid, you need this free training. You can
get the link in the show notes, but then also on our website. It's right there at the top free
training for the hormone and thyroid webinar. At the same time, I also wanted to dive
into today's podcast episode, and it's about alopecia universalis. Many of my clients
have alopecia universalis and totalis. This is kind of the second and third step of
alopecia areata.
Alopecia areata for those of you don't know, it's the autoimmune disease, and it starts
off with bald spots, either all around the scalp or the beard, depending if, you know,
you're a man, female, child, etcetera. This can show up as a circular spot, and most of
the time, the spots connect. And then it can graduate, right? The person can graduate to
alopecia totalis, which is being completely bald. And still having hair, but you can also
move into alopecia universalis, which is completely bald, losing eyebrows, losing
eyelashes, losing all body and facial hair. And this can happen to men, women, and
children. I've seen it in men, women, and children of all ages, races, and ethnicities.
There is no discrimination for this.
This happens to anyone At any point in their lives. There's not necessarily a statistic of
like: Oh yeah, the majority of people are children. Or Yeah, the majority of people are,
you know, adults after or over the age of 25. There are no statistics like this, it just
happens when it happens. And yes, we can heal and reverse it naturally. And yes, you
can also prevent it. I myself had the alopecia areata, which was moving into totalis, and
once I healed, now it's been more than 9 years, alopecia free. So you can absolutely
take control of your hair loss, take control of your hair growth at any stage of life.
So today I'm showcasing a podcast interview that I did with a mom, with her child, her 9
year old boy who had alopecia universalis, and it took him 6-8 months to completely
regrow his hair. That's the average that we're seeing with any child, with any person,adult, child with alopecia It's just 6-8 months for a full hair growth, eyelashes, eyebrows,
full head. A buzz cut, a pixie cut, but that's what normally it takes six to eight months on
average. And so if you have alopecia totalis, if you have alopecia universalis, know that
if you've been on this journey and it's taking longer than the 6-8 month mark or that
you've been trying one thing or another or one strategy, another, and you're not getting
the results you're looking for.
Come see me because at Alopecia Angel, we are all about results. I am so dedicated to
your results. 90% of clients see hair growth in less than 8 weeks. And so this is the
beauty of supporting our bodies, understanding, being strategic, having a personalized
approach and taking action. So here we go, listen to this podcast episode with this
mother and son.
Thank you so much. Take care.

Johanna: Welcome to the Alopecia Angel podcast. I'm so excited to share your story
and story of your son, because I was looking back in my notes and I know we
connected last July. And then you started the program in August and if my memory
serves me right, he went from alopecia universalis to full hair growth now in like less
than 6 months.
Nazira: Yes.
Johanna: 6 months, like 8 months, that's amazing. So tell us your story. Let's, let's start
from the very beginning before you even met me. Like how this happened. When did it
start? Like, what did you do? Which obviously didn't work.
Nazira: So we tried everything. We have seen the doctors as well in to see his health
from inside, you know, whatever is happening inside, this is what we see outside. So we
have seen endocrinologists, we've seen allergy doctors, so many pediatric doctors,
dermatologists, we went to do some shots to his head, like particular everywhere where
it was falling before, with like, it looked like patches. Then when it start falling, the first.
Full head. The doctor said there is no need to do all those shots anymore because his
head will be full of like dents.
And then we went to another dermatologist because that was, he was a private
practitioner, so he gave us cream which is like stuff in a sip, yeah, which it costs like
$500-$600.
Johanna: Wow.
Nazira: And then we tried one bottle. After one bottle, he said: yeah, I could continue,
we ordered the second bottle. For some reason, no, I did not see any results from that
cream.Johanna: And how old was he when he was diagnosed with alopecia?
Nazira: He was 8.
Johanna: And so then you were looking for all these alternative or various treatments, I
should say, various treatments from doctors and pediatricians and nothing worked. And
then how soon did you find me?
Nazira: Last year I came to you and you was August, right?
Johanna: Yeah. It was like July, August, correct.
Nazira: Rapidly start falling when he was prior year, October, so 2020 October, more of
November. So basically. 6-7 months later, I found you. Basically all these 6-7 months as
we were struggling and fighting by seeing different doctors.
Johanna: And in just in 6-7 months, you saw him go from alopecia areata to alopecia
universalis. Because if I recall correctly, during our initial consultation and interview, he
had already gone the eyelashes, the eyebrows, his whole head was gone as well.
Nazira: Correct. Yeah.
Johanna: That's amazing. You did August with me and how soon did you see the hair
grow?
Nazira: Not soon enough because this little gentleman was still eating candies and
hiding behind his bed.
Johanna: Oh no.
Nazira: And we found that it wasn't good picture to see. It was a lot, it was all kind of,
you just name it. It was a lot of different candies plus chips, plus he was eating, I don't
know, whatever he was eating at school. So, your diet wasn't not in full, we start having
full clean diet, I was like on top of it, he promised. Up until today, he's on that diet, but
we do have little cheat days, of course, once a week, maybe, not a lot.
Johanna: And how does your son feel about having all his hair back?
Nazira: Maybe you want to answer.
Son: I feel happy.
Nazira: He saw that the diet is working, plus he's exercising and he's going to swim.
He's going to soccer nowadays. Still, since he started as well up until today. So, he's
continuing, he is fully like in shape. He used to have a big stomach.Johanna: All the bloating and the digestive issues, of course.
Nazira: Yes. And then because of his sugar level was very high when we did them. So
everything that you said on your book, we are following on you. Everything that you said
on your weekly program, we are following.
Johanna: You know, you can win at anything, you can overcome anything. And it's
sometimes there's a style to it. And sometimes, it's just setting your mindset, just like
you can overcome alopecia. You can set your mindset to anything and win at anything
you really can. And that's the takeaway message that I hope all parents and children get
out of this, because as a parent myself, I get it. I would be nervous if my child had
alopecia.
I actually just came across a client, a new client. Her daughter was diagnosed with
alopecia, 6 months later, her daughter got two more autoimmune diseases and she's 6.
She's so young to have 3 different autoimmune diseases all at once. This is the problem
when you start to see that if you don't do anything for the alopecia, it can become
bigger, it can escalate and we don't want it to escalate. You want to heal it and do it
naturally, especially when it comes to children, but of course, for adults as well. Would
you recommend this program for other adults or other children or other parents? And if
so, any words of advice or tips for them?
Nazira: Yes, absolutely. I will recommend this program, not only for adults or children
with alopecia, but also for anyone who wants to have a healthy diet, to be honest with
you, everything that you said on your program, that's how it's supposed to be like. I
know that we want to eat like cake, candies, lactose or gluten stuff. It's everything that
you put on your program is for healthy eater person. For alopecia kids or adult, I would
recommend your program and it's going to work if they are consistent. Consistency is
the key. I mean, in everything, but in your program as well.
Johanna: I mean, it's really like goal setting when you want something, you just got to
keep at it. You know, whether that's saving money for a house or losing weight or, you
know, getting back your hair, it's all the same. You have to be consistent, that that's just
really what it is.
So from here on out, what are the next, how are you celebrating his hair growth? How
are you celebrating his health? Because I'm sure he's seen changes, not just in on his
head, but internally with his feelings, with his bowel movements, with energy levels, with
everything. Do you want to share anything? Like how you're feeling, how things are
going since healing?
Son: I feel really happy.
Johanna: There's a lot of people, even adults, who are not happy today, that's
important.Nazira: That's true.
Johanna: I'll take that. If you were going to talk to somebody like another child, another
person of your same age, or maybe who's 10 or maybe who's 6 or 7, what would you
tell them?
Son: I would tell them to use your program.
Johanna: Yeah. Would you tell him not to cheat?
Nazira: Not to cheat or to cheat?
Johanna: No, not to cheat.
Nazira: Oh, well, we lost one month and a half. He has been cheating for months and a
half, but you know, after he's where he was like very clean and he promised and we
were on top of it, we started seeing the result right away. You were right when you said
the last thing you lost will be coming first, the last spot. That's exactly what we
experienced, that's exactly what we saw. Last thing he lost his eyelashes, eyebrows,
and then the hair part, right? On the head.
So we saw the first growing eyelashes on his right side, not even the left side. He was
like one side eyelashes, one side he didn't, that's because how he lost it. So then the
same way eyebrows, if you can see fully grow here, but here not fully, this part is not
grown yet. The way how we lost it, this is the way how we are recovering it back. I
remember, and I was like, I remember Johanna was saying this and it was true. We
experienced that.
Johanna: Yeah, it is. I mean, it takes the experience to be able to share it and to be
able to like walk parents through it or even other adults. When I went through it, this is
exactly, and not to say that everyone has to experience it exactly like me, because that's
not true either, but it could be similar and in your case, it was. It was right on the money.
So you saw results immediately after being clean and after following the program to a T,
correct?
Nazira: Yes. Not like rapid growth, but little by little, I saw those hairs, you know,
appearing and it really clicked. Like it is the diet, it is working. Plus I saw his body
shape, body got changed. He used to have black elbows and everything cleared out
because of his sugar level was corrected, like bloaty abdomen also, now he has six
packs. He started growing and gaining weight as well because he used to be, I don't
know, he used to be little, like smaller than now. We start seeing like, that he was
noticing that he started growing as well. The shape of nails as well, started clearing out,
it used to be like dainty, not clear and with white spots, those white spots are gone now.Johanna: Yeah and you'll continue to see more and more healing and more and more
hair. And that's the beautiful thing because once it's complete, you know, just like a
puzzle, once it's completely complete, then you're good to go, but you still need to be
consistent and having those cheat days or is fine, I cheat myself and I, and I teach you
how to do this in the program. So that's a beautiful thing too. What encouraged you to
join the program after seeing so many doctors and after trying so many things and not
seeing any results?
Nazira: I think I was one of those parents who was desperate for everything. I know that
you were sharing all those testimonials I read, plus I was skeptic because how do I
know if it's going to work or not? Right? Plus I emailed you once, then you said you're
Program starts not right away, like I had to wait. Then when the sale opened, you put
people right on the, on the sale. So on the sale calendar, I was like, I think that's the
chance I need to use it. I was a bit skeptical because I didn't know it's online thing, it's a
lot of, you know, all these information's all over the place and you never know.
Especially once I am a parent who used so many drugs on his head, so many shots,
saw so many doctors. If the doctors say eventually it's going to grow and how do I know
if this kind of a program will work? Like I was skeptical for the beginning. And then when
I start getting all your lessons, we saw results, I saw the pictures. I didn't lose hope, I
was like, maybe that's going to work because we have to now shape up his diet
because everything is from the diet, everything is from what we consume.
Johanna: Well, I'd like to interject there and say diet is important because it's a daily
basis. We eat every day, we drink every day, but at the same time, our lifestyle has so
much. And even for a child, as you know, his lifestyle needed some changes. And so
once you change that, then it all, you know, harmonizes together.
Nazira: Yes, definitely I agree with you.
Johanna: Last minute things that you'd like to share, either one of you.
Nazira: Say something for your friends. He said II don't have anything else to say. Good
luck to everyone who's joining your program.
Son: Good luck.
Johanna: Oh, thank you. Thank you. Everyone can always use more good luck, but
definitely. I'm so excited to hear. Thank you for sharing Nazira.
Nazira: Thank you for your help and for your guidance.
Johanna: No, my pleasure.Nazira: Every time I email you, you email me back with all the answers. And I show him,
I say: Look, what's Johanna saying we have to follow, but you were always there for me.
Thank you very much.
Johanna: Oh, I'm always there for you even today and tomorrow and anytime you need
me, I'm definitely here for all my clients and it warms my heart. I wish more clients would
tell me about their success instead of, you know, me digging through and like asking:
Hey, how's it going? But it's always good to catch up. It's always good to catch up and
I'm so happy that you're happy and both of you are happy and congrats on the new
baby again.
Nazira: Thank you so much for your help.
Johanna: My pleasure. Take care. You guys. Take care. Bye-bye.
