The Autoimmune RESET
FRIDAY 5: Ways to Ignite Hair Growth Naturally (and Calm the Root Cause)
This week’s Friday 5 is all about reawakening your roots — naturally. 🌿
A new study on a plant-based serum showed visible improvements in hair thickness and density in just 56 days, reminding us that natural compounds can reawaken dormant follicles.
In this episode, VJ shares five evidence-informed, accessible ways to ignite hair growth without drugs or devices — using tools and nutrients you already have at home.
You’ll learn how to:
1️⃣ Stimulate scalp circulation with simple daily rituals
2️⃣ Feed your follicles with lysine, sulphur, and omega-3-rich foods
3️⃣ Calm your nervous system (and mast cells) with Rhodiola and BodyBio Calm
4️⃣ Recharge mitochondrial energy for stronger, thicker strands
5️⃣ Support detox and lymph flow to clear the path for growth
VJ also explains how stress, mitochondrial depletion, and poor circulation silently shut down follicle activity — and how to reverse it gently through nourishment, calm, and consistency.
