<h2 data-menu="Alopecia Areata">Supporting Hair Health with the Eat Burn Sleep Lifestyle</h2>
<p>Alopecia Areata is a common autoimmune condition that causes hair loss. “Alopecia” means baldness, and “areata” means patchy. As the name suggests, this condition causes patches of hair loss, usually on the face and scalp, but legs, underarms, and other body parts can be affected too. In severe cases, people with alopecia can lose all their body hair, including pubic hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows.</p>
<div class="health-fact">
<h4>Health Fact</h4>
<p>Alopecia areata is a T-cell-mediated autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, leading to inflammation and hair loss. While it most commonly affects the scalp and face, it can occur anywhere on the body, including underarms, legs, eyebrows, and eyelashes. In severe cases, total body hair loss may occur.</p>
</div>
<h3 data-menu="Gut Health Link">Hair Loss and Gut Health</h3>
<p>Around 70% of the body's immune cells reside in the gut, making the gut microbiota a crucial regulator of systemic immunity. When gut flora is imbalanced, immune responses can become overactive or misdirected, often contributing to autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata.</p>
<p><strong>Treating alopecia naturally starts in the gut. </strong></p>
<p>To support natural hair regrowth, restoring a healthy gut microbiome is essential. By addressing gut dysbiosis and reducing systemic inflammation, the immune system can begin to regulate itself more effectively, reducing the attack on hair follicles and promoting recovery.</p>
<p>This is where the Eat Burn Sleep anti-inflammatory lifestyle comes in. Designed to reduce chronic inflammation, rebalance gut flora, and modulate immune function, this lifestyle is recommended by doctors around the world to manage autoimmune conditions, including alopecia, without medication.</p>
<p>Factors like stress, genetics, or medications can also influence hair loss. If you're experiencing hair loss, speak with your doctor about integrating this medication-free, gut-focused approach to support your recovery naturally, both physically and emotionally.</p>
<p>Alopecia Areata doesn’t have to define your life. Address the root cause by healing your gut, calming inflammation, and allowing your body to restore itself from the inside out.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 data-menu="Types of Alopecia">Types of Alopecia Areata</h3>
<p>There are <a href="https://www.naaf.org/alopecia-areata/types-of-alopecia-areata/">different categories of alopecia areata</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Alopecia areata totalis</strong>: Total loss of hair from the scalp.</li>
<li><strong>Alopecia areata universalis</strong>: Total loss of scalp and body hair.</li>
<li><strong>Diffuse alopecia areata</strong>: Scalp hair starts to thin rather than falling out in clear patches. This is hard to distinguish from male or female pattern baldness.</li>
<li><strong>Ophiasis alopecia areata</strong>: Hair loss occurs in a band around the sides and back of the head.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 data-menu="Symptoms" data-icon="">Signs and Symptoms</h3>
<p>Alopecia areata often begins with small, round or oval-shaped patches of hair loss on the scalp. These patches look like normal skin, with no redness or rash. The progression of the condition is unpredictable, and it affects everyone differently:</p>
<ul>
<li>Some people find their hair regrows within a few months.</li>
<li>In other cases, more patches may appear, and the patches may join together to form larger areas of baldness.</li>
<li>The disease may progress to alopecia totalis or universalis, with total loss of hair from the scalp and body.</li>
<li>Some people may develop ridges or pits in their nails, too, especially if their hair loss is severe.</li>
</ul>
<p>Alopecia areata can go into remission for months at a time, or it may become more permanent – everyone has a different experience with the condition.</p>
<p>It's essential to recognize that alopecia areata can be an incredibly stressful condition, especially for teenagers and young children who are already dealing with a lot of physical and emotional changes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Who Gets Alopecia?</h4>
<p>According to the <a href="https://www.naaf.org/alopecia-areata/types-of-alopecia-areata/">National Alopecia Areata Foundation</a>, alopecia is more likely to affect women than men, as is the case with most autoimmune conditions. Women affected by alopecia are also more likely to have another autoimmune disease such as autoimmune <a href="https://staging.eatburnsleep.com/advice/thyroid/">thyroid disease</a> (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4521674/">Fricke &amp; Miteva, 2015</a>).</p>
<p>Alopecia frequently occurs in younger people. Around 80% of individuals with alopecia develop it before the age of 40, and 40% develop it before age 20.</p>
<p>Research shows that Asian, Black, and Hispanic people are more affected by alopecia than White people (<a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamadermatology/article-abstract/2801704">Sy et al, 2023</a>) although the reasons for this remain unclear.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 data-menu="Causes">What Causes Alopecia?</h3>
<p>Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition, which means the body is attacking its own hair follicles and causing hair loss.</p>
<p>There is never a straightforward cause of an autoimmune condition. Autoimmunity is instead triggered by a combination of factors, including genetics, <a href="https://staging.eatburnsleep.com/what-is-gut-health/">gut health</a>, diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Genetics</h4>
<p>Alopecia areata is a polygenic disease, which means it is linked to several different genes. However, not everyone with these genes will go on to develop the disease. As we know, genetics is just part of the picture of health. It is your diet and lifestyle that determine which genes are activated and which are "switched off".</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 data-icon="winner">Treatment</h3>
<p>In this section, you’ll find expert advice tailored to managing Alopecia Areata through a natural, anti-inflammatory approach. We’ll explore the key foods to favor that support hair follicle health, ingredients to avoid that may trigger immune responses, supplement guidance, and lifestyle strategies to help restore gut health and reduce systemic inflammation.<br />
Because Alopecia Areata is closely linked to immune dysfunction and gut imbalance, these targeted recommendations aim to address the root causes and support long-term hair and scalp health from within.</p>
