Nutrafol: Hair Health is Whole Body Health

On today’s blog, I am excited to feature Meg Jones, one of our Wellness Nurse Practitioners at Racquel Aesthetics & Wellness. With more than 15 years of experience, Meg takes a closer look at hair loss and thinning, something many patients struggle with. Meg explains why we’ve chosen to carry Nutrafol as part of our commitment to supporting long-term health and confidence. Meg, take it away!! 

Hair thinning isn’t just a cosmetic concern—it’s often a visible sign of what’s happening beneath the surface. From hormonal shifts to nutrient gaps to chronic stress, your hair can be an early indicator of your body’s overall health. That’s where Nutrafol comes in: a physician-formulated supplement that targets the root causes of hair thinning, not just the symptoms.

At our practice, beauty and wellness go hand in hand. Just as we provide elite skincare products and advanced aesthetic treatments to help you look your best, we’re equally dedicated to nurturing your health from within. That’s why we prioritize evidence-based wellness solutions, including physician-selected supplementation products designed to support your body’s natural vitality—because true results start at the root. This commitment is exactly why we carry Nutrafol, a clinically-backed hair health supplement that targets the underlying causes of thinning for stronger, fuller hair from the inside out.

Both physical and emotional stress—whether it’s giving birth, managing a demanding job, or navigating other life challenges—can trigger a spike in cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone. Elevated cortisol can signal hair follicles to exit the growth phase prematurely, shifting them into a resting phase and accelerating shedding. Each stage of life brings its own unique root causes for hair thinning, which is why a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t work. Nutrafol offers targeted formulations for every season of life: Women 18–44, Women 18–44 Plant-Based, Women 45+, and Postpartum. Because each chapter in your life’s story deserves a tailored approach to supplementation.

Nutrafol packs its capsules with a blend of potent, sustainably sourced ingredients designed to tackle the root causes of hair thinning.

• Maca and Saw Palmetto – Sustainably grown and clinically recognized for blocking DHT, the hormone that shrinks hair follicles and drives thinning during peri- and post-menopause.
  
• Ashwagandha – Wild-harvested in India, this adaptogenic botanical helps lower cortisol, the stress hormone linked to excessive hair shedding.
  
• Astaxanthin – A powerful antioxidant derived from Himalayan algae, supporting cellular health and protecting against age-related damage.
  
• Marine Collagen Peptides – Boost the body’s collagen activity to strengthen hair and support scalp health.
  
• Curcumin – A concentrated form 600 times more potent than turmeric, working as a powerhouse antioxidant to combat cellular triggers of hair thinning.
  
• Tocotrienol Complex (Vitamin E) – Helps shield hair from environmental stressors and supports density.
  

Every ingredient is natural, traceable, and rigorously tested for quality and safety. With multiple clinical studies backing its formula, it’s clear why Nutrafol is trusted as a science-driven solution for healthier, stronger hair.

At Racquel Aesthetics, we’re committed to offering only the highest quality products and treatments. That’s why adding Nutrafol to our wellness supplement line was an easy choice.  We now carry Nutrafol Women, recommended for women ages 18–44, and Nutrafol Women’s Balance, formulated specifically for women 45+.

Nutrafol is available to all of our patients—not just those enrolled in the Wellness Program. For those who do join the program, we provide additional support through tailored resources, peptides, and personalized protocols designed to address your unique needs and root causes of imbalance.
