and the only practicing Trichologist in Australia from a background of formal health care training. Anthony works in close association with some of our leading health researchers**; affording him an in-depth understanding of health issues that lead to hair loss. Australia’s foremost Research Pharmacist provides advanced + effective treatments not commercially obtainable elsewhere. Anthony’s professional area of interest is female hair loss from nutritional-metabolic-hormonal or autoimmune disturbance. He was the first to identify two forms of androgenic alopecia in women – true genetically-inherited type, and ‘acquired’ androgenic alopecia from metabolic/hormonal compensatory mechanisms. His current research that ‘pattern’ hair loss in some women may be due to a disordering of sex hormones + their carrier proteins from hyperinsulinaemia could help change current treatment stratagems. Children + young adults presenting with Alopecia areata is also a large part of Anthony’s practice. His research has indicated food allergies (Gluten + Dairy intolerance) as a persistent + overwhelming trigger (>90%) for Alopecia areata in young children.
