This week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, we’re diving into the surprisingly emotional (and super frustrating) world of hair loss, stress, and scalp health with the one and only Danielle Kepics, PA-C.

Danielle is a certified fertility educator, functional medicine practitioner, and former PA with a unicorn-level background in women’s health—and she’s sharing her real-life, two-year journey through post-COVID hair loss, scalp breakage, mold scares, and what finally helped her regrow healthy, strong hair (spoiler: it wasn’t just about shampoo).

We’re talking about why your hair might be falling out even if you’re “doing everything right,” what role stress, nutrient depletion, and medications play, and how to support your scalp like you do your skin. If your hairbrush has been looking a little scary lately, this conversation is going to feel like a deep breath and a game plan. 🙌

💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Why “poverty calories” stall healthy hair growth (and how to fix it)
  • The hidden role of post-viral infections, mold, and chronic stress in hair loss
  • The meds that quietly contribute to hair thinning (think birth control, SSRIs, thyroid meds)
  • How to treat your scalp like skin for better hair regrowth
  • Why patience, persistence, and a microscope were key to Danielle’s recovery

ABOUT GUEST:
Danielle Kepics, PA-C, is a functional health practitioner, certified fertility educator, mental health therapist, nutrition coach, and former personal trainer — earning her the title of "unicorn" in women’s health.

Danielle is also the co-founder of Unconventional Collaborative, a mastermind for health pros.
