The urge to pick isn't just in your head - your body is asking for help

You deserve relief from Trichotillomania urges.

Let's get to the root cause and support your nervous system naturally.

YOU NEED ✨MINERALS✨

Struggling with Trichotillomania is exhausting and isolating. From the constant hair pulling and picking, fighting against yourself, OCD-like thoughts/tendencies, and bald spots lowering your self-esteem, it can feel like there is no way for you to breakfree from Trich. 

ARE YOU LIVING IN A CONSTANT CYCLE OF FRUSTRATION?

  1. SCALP & EYEBROW PULLING: The urge to pull hair from the scalp, eyebrows, or other areas can feel uncontrollable, leading to bald spots, thinning hair, and self-consciousness. This behavior can severely impact self-esteem, causing embarrassment and social anxiety. It may lead individuals to hide or avoid certain situations, creating a sense of isolation.
     

  2. FRUSTRATION & SHAME: People with trichotillomania often feel frustrated by their inability to stop, even though they want to. This constant battle can lead to guilt and shame. These feelings of shame can cause emotional distress and impact relationships, as individuals may feel misunderstood or embarrassed to talk about their condition.
     

  3. PHYSICAL DAMAGE & SCARRING: Repeated picking or pulling can cause skin irritation, sores, or permanent scarring, particularly in visible areas like the scalp or face. This physical damage can be a constant reminder of the struggle, contributing to a cycle of negative self-image and frustration.
     

  4. SOCIAL WITHDRAWAL: Many individuals with trichotillomania avoid social situations or activities because they’re self-conscious about their hair-pulling or resulting bald spots. Social withdrawal and avoidance can lead to a sense of loneliness, further exacerbating feelings of isolation and emotional burden. This can make it harder to form connections or maintain relationships.​​

Regain Control and Find Lasting Relief from Trichotillomania With a Root-Cause Approach That Supports Your Mind & Body Naturally​

New research highlights the connection between diet and compulsive behavior​s like hair pulling and scalp picking. A recent study found that high sugar intake is significantly linked to increased impulsivity and compulsivity - key factors in Trichotillomania. Additionally, diets high in both fat and sugar were shown to increase motor impulsivity, making it harder to control urges. 

​

This is why addressing mineral imbalances and blood sugar regulation is crucial in managing Trichotillomania. When the body lacks essential nutrients like zinc, magnesium, and B vitamins, the nervous system struggles to stay balanced, leading to heightened stress responses and an increased urged to pick and pull.. 

​

By supporting your body with a targeted nutrition and mineral balancing appraoch, you can take control of Trich in a way that actually works — without relying on willpower alone.

FAQ

What is HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) Testing?​

HTMA is a functional test that analyzes mineral levels and heavy metal toxicity in your hair. It provides insight into your body's stress response, metabolism, nervous system function, and potential imbalances that could be driving symptoms like anxiety, fatigue, hormonal issues, and compulsive behaviors like Trichotillomania.

​

How does HTMA help with Trichotillomania and my other symptoms?

HTMA helps uncover mineral imbalances, heavy metal toxicity, and nervous system dysregulation, which are often at the root of compulsive behaviors like hair-pulling. Key imbalances, such as copper toxicity, low zinc, or blood sugar dysregulation, can contribute to anxiety, impulsivity, and poor stress tolerance. Balancing minerals can help regulate mood, reduce urges, and support long-term healing.
