NeatoNat Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I am a 30 year old woman, 2 children, no history (that I know of) of hormonal dysfunction. I have, since puberty, been very hairy. Even a "happy trail" and a small furry trail down my chest. I've noticed that it's become progressively worse over the past decade. Anyways, I am on day 21 of my first Whole30. I just noticed today that my belly/chest hair is almost gone! I'll also note that after the first week, my cystic back acne was completely gone as well. Would this suggest that I indeed did have some type of undiagnosed hormonal issue? Anyone else experience this? Link to comment
praxisproject Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Changes in hair is usually hormone related, so you could possibly have resolved something that's been a bit out of balance, keep an eye on it when you're doing Reintroductions. You could do a slower roll if you want to monitor hair growth (it's not really very speedy). While modern society tends to be anti-hair, people were quite healthy with lots of hair before there were clothes flashing armpits and legs, so hair does not always mean bad Link to comment
stellamacaroni Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 this is great to hear. i am 42 and for the last 5 years have been getting hairs on my chin and throat. i figure it is hormonal but i wanted to see if The Whole30 would balance this out. I am very curious! Link to comment
Vicky P Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I'm 35 and on day 22 of my first Whole30. I've been getting pesky chin hairs since I was 29. I would typically pluck one to two hairs every week, but I've barely had to pluck any while doing Whole30. I just jumped onto the forum to see if anyone else has experienced this. This is huge for me! Not that my problem was a major or chronic condition, but it was inconvenient and I always worried that someone would notice. Link to comment
Ladybugbkk Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Oh it would be fantastic if the chin hairs stopped growing!! Link to comment
Raven Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I will get dark, random chin hairs from time to time, but when I stay W30, they appear less often. Maybe once a month compared to once a week...! Link to comment
