   Season 2, Episode 8: I have a Rare Disease

   LIVING WITH FMD AND FND: KELLY’S JOURNEY TO A DIAGNOSIS In this deeply personal episode of Let’s Talk About It with Kelly, the roles are reversed. John Ranney asks Kelly about her experience living with two rare and frequently misunderstood conditions: Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). Kelly shares her story openly, including her frightening symptoms, physical pain, emotional struggles, repeated medical appointments, and the difficult journey to finding answers. She discusses what it feels like to know something is wrong with your body while struggling to be heard, understood, and properly diagnosed. Fibromuscular Dysplasia is an uncommon blood-vessel disorder that can cause narrowing, enlargement, twisting, aneurysms, or tears in the arteries. It most commonly affects women and is often found in arteries supplying the kidneys, neck, and brain. Because symptoms can differ greatly between patients, obtaining a diagnosis can be complicated. Kelly also opens up about Functional Neurological Disorder—a condition in which the brain’s communication with the nervous system is not functioning properly. FND can cause genuine and disabling neurological symptoms, even when conventional medical testing does not reveal the type of structural damage doctors may initially expect to find. In this episode, Kelly and John discuss: • Kelly’s first symptoms and warning signs • Her experience being diagnosed with Fibromuscular Dysplasia • Arterial dissections and vascular complications • The physical pain and uncertainty of living with a rare disease • Why FMD awareness is especially important for women • The long and complicated road to an FND diagnosis • Symptoms that can be difficult to explain or understand • The frustration of feeling dismissed by medical professionals • The emotional effects of not having clear answers • Advocating for yourself within the healthcare system • The importance of listening to women’s health concerns • Living with two complex and misunderstood conditions • Finding strength, support, and hope during an uncertain journey This is a vulnerable, emotional, and honest conversation about the realities of rare and invisible illnesses. Kelly shares not only the medical side of her experience, but also the fear, exhaustion, frustration, and isolation that can accompany a condition other people cannot always see. FND symptoms are real and are not imagined or “all in someone’s head.” The condition can be difficult to diagnose because symptoms may resemble those of other neurological disorders. A thorough medical assessment is important to identify the condition and determine appropriate treatment and support. By sharing her story, Kelly hopes to raise awareness of Fibromuscular Dysplasia, Functional Neurological Disorder, women’s health, medical dismissal, and the need for patients to feel heard. She wants other people living with unexplained symptoms or rare conditions to know that they are not alone—and that continuing to ask questions and advocate for their health matters. This special episode of Let’s Talk About It with Kelly creates space for the conversations people are often afraid to have. It is a story about illness, resilience, advocacy, vulnerability, and the search for answers. Follow the podcast and share this episode to help raise awareness of FMD, FND, rare diseases, neurological conditions, vascular health, and women’s experiences within the healthcare system. Please note: This podcast shares Kelly’s personal experience and is intended for awareness and general education only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Symptoms, complications, and experiences vary between individuals. Anyone concerned about possible vascular or neurological symptoms should consult a qualified healthcare professional. #FibromuscularDysplasia #FMDawareness #FunctionalNeurologicalDisorder #FNDawareness #RareDiseaseAwareness #WomensHealth #WomensHealthAwareness

   Season 2, Episode 7: Psychological Hair Loss

   PSYCHOLOGICAL HAIR LOSS: THE CONNECTION BETWEEN STRESS, MENTAL WELL-BEING AND HAIR HEALTH In this episode of Let’s Talk About It with Kelly, Kelly Ranney sits down with John Ranney, Certified Clinical Trichologist and President of Freedom Clinic Toronto, to discuss the powerful connection between hair loss and psychological well-being. Can emotional stress contribute to excessive hair shedding? How can hair loss affect confidence, relationships, work, and everyday life? John explains how stress and significant life events may influence the hair-growth cycle—and why the emotional effects of losing your hair should never be dismissed. Hair loss is not “just cosmetic.” For many people, their hair is closely connected to identity, self-expression, confidence, culture, and personal well-being. When it begins to thin or shed unexpectedly, the experience can feel frightening, isolating, and difficult to explain to others. In this episode, you’ll learn about: • The connection between stress and hair loss • Psychological and emotional triggers for excessive shedding • Telogen effluvium and stress-related hair shedding • Why shedding may begin months after a stressful event • How hair loss can affect confidence and quality of life • The emotional impact of female and male hair loss • Anxiety surrounding washing, brushing, and styling the hair • Trichotillomania and hair-pulling behaviours • The relationship between scalp health and overall wellness • Why psychological hair loss requires a compassionate approach • How a clinical trichologist investigates unexplained shedding • When medical or mental-health support may be helpful • The importance of personalized hair-loss management John also explains that stress should not automatically be assumed to be the cause of every case. Genetics, hormones, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid conditions, medications, illness, autoimmune disorders, inflammatory scalp conditions, and other medical factors may contribute to hair loss. A thorough investigation may include a detailed health history, review of recent life events and illnesses, scalp and hair analysis, medication review, blood work ordered by a qualified healthcare professional, and referrals when necessary. Kelly and John also discuss the difficult cycle that can develop when stress contributes to shedding—and the shedding itself creates more worry. Compassionate care, accurate information, realistic expectations, and the right professional support can help people feel less alone and more in control of their next steps. If hair loss is affecting your emotional well-being, you deserve to be taken seriously. Seeking support is not an overreaction, and psychological symptoms do not mean that the hair loss is imaginary or “all in your head.” Freedom Clinic Toronto has been helping people with hair loss, scalp conditions, trichology, hair restoration, and non-surgical hair replacement since 1978. Its multidisciplinary team takes an evidence-based and compassionate approach to each client’s individual hair-loss journey. Listen to Let’s Talk About It with Kelly for honest conversations about hair loss, trichology, scalp health, mental wellness, confidence, and the subjects people are often afraid to discuss.

   Season 2, Episode 6: Blood Work You Need

   BLOOD WORK FOR HAIR LOSS: WHICH TESTS MAY HELP UNCOVER THE CAUSE? In this episode of Let’s Talk About It with Kelly, Kelly Ranney sits down with John Ranney, Certified Clinical Trichologist and President of Freedom Clinic Toronto, to discuss blood work that may be considered when investigating hair loss, excessive shedding, or changes in hair growth. Can low iron contribute to hair shedding? What do thyroid function, vitamin levels, hormones, and overall health have to do with your hair? John explains why blood work can be an important part of a comprehensive hair loss investigation—and why simply being told that your results are “normal” may not always answer every question. Hair loss can have many possible causes, including genetics, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid conditions, hormonal changes, illness, stress, medications, autoimmune disease, and inflammatory scalp conditions. Blood testing may help a qualified healthcare professional identify or rule out some underlying factors, but the appropriate tests will depend on each person’s symptoms, health history, medications, age, and type of hair loss. In this episode, you’ll learn about: • Why blood work may be recommended for hair loss • Complete blood count and general health markers • Iron, ferritin, and iron-deficiency concerns • Thyroid testing and changes in hair growth • Vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, and zinc • Hormonal factors that may affect hair loss • Female hair loss and menstrual or menopausal changes • Male and female pattern hair loss • Telogen effluvium and excessive hair shedding • Nutritional deficiencies and restrictive diets • The connection between overall health and hair health • Why test results must be interpreted in context • When additional medical assessment may be needed • The importance of combining blood work with a scalp and hair analysis John also discusses why there is no single blood test that diagnoses every form of hair loss. A proper investigation may include a detailed medical and family history, scalp examination, assessment of the hair-loss pattern, review of symptoms and medications, and appropriate testing ordered by a licensed healthcare professional. Blood work is only one piece of the puzzle. Results should never be interpreted in isolation, and supplements should not be started simply because hair is shedding. Taking unnecessary vitamins, minerals, or iron can be ineffective and may sometimes be harmful. Personalized medical guidance is essential. If you are experiencing unexplained hair loss, sudden shedding, thinning hair, bald patches, scalp discomfort, or changes in your hair’s density, this episode will help you understand which questions to ask and why a thorough, evidence-based investigation matters. Freedom Clinic Toronto has been helping people with hair loss, scalp conditions, trichology, hair restoration, and non-surgical hair replacement since 1978. Its multidisciplinary team provides personalized solutions based on each client’s individual needs. Listen to Let’s Talk About It with Kelly for honest conversations about hair loss, trichology, scalp health, wellness, confidence, and the health concerns people are often afraid to discuss.

   Season 2, Episode 5: Hair Transplants

   HAIR TRANSPLANTS EXPLAINED: FUT, FUE, DHI, RESULTS & WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW In this episode of Let’s Talk About It with Kelly, Kelly Ranney sits down with John Ranney, Certified Clinical Trichologist and President of Freedom Clinic Toronto, for an honest and informative conversation about hair transplants. How does a hair transplant work? What is the difference between FUT, FUE, DHI, and Sapphire FUE? Who may be a good candidate—and why isn’t surgery the right solution for everyone? John explains the hair transplant process, from the initial hair loss and scalp assessment to donor-area evaluation, procedure selection, recovery, and long-term planning. He also discusses some of the most common mistakes people make when choosing a hair transplant clinic and why realistic expectations are so important. In this episode, you’ll learn about: • How hair transplantation works • FUT strip hair transplant surgery • FUE follicular unit extraction • DHI direct hair implantation • Sapphire FUE hair transplantation • How donor hair is evaluated • Hairline design, density, and graft placement • How many grafts a patient may need • Hair transplant recovery and healing • When transplanted hair may begin to grow • Common hair transplant risks and limitations • Why some hair transplants fail or look unnatural • Hair transplants for men and women • Choosing a qualified hair transplant surgeon and clinic • Canadian versus international hair transplant options • The importance of long-term hair loss management John also explains why a hair transplant does not stop future hair loss. Non-transplanted hair may continue to thin, which is why every patient needs a long-term plan based on their diagnosis, age, donor supply, family history, and expected progression of hair loss. Not everyone experiencing hair thinning is automatically a suitable candidate for surgery. Active scalp disease, certain forms of alopecia, unstable hair loss, inadequate donor hair, or unrealistic expectations can affect whether a hair transplant is appropriate. This episode is essential listening for anyone considering a hair transplant in Toronto, elsewhere in Canada, or abroad. Before making a major decision, learn what questions to ask, which warning signs to watch for, and why the lowest price may not always provide the safest or most natural-looking result. Freedom Clinic Toronto has been helping people with hair loss, scalp conditions, trichology, non-surgical hair replacement, and hair restoration since 1978. Its multidisciplinary team takes an evidence-based, personalized approach to every client’s hair loss journey.

   Season 2, Episode 4: Complicated Cases

   COMPLICATED HAIR LOSS CASES: REAL STORIES FROM A CLINICAL TRICHOLOGIST In this episode of Let’s Talk About It with Kelly, Kelly Ranney sits down with John Ranney, Certified Clinical Trichologist and President of Freedom Clinic Toronto, to discuss some of the most complicated hair loss and scalp cases he has encountered throughout his career. Why do some people continue to lose their hair even after trying multiple treatments? What happens when hair loss is caused by more than one underlying condition? John shares real, anonymized stories from his clinic and explains how he investigated each case, what made the diagnosis challenging, and how he developed a personalized treatment plan. Kelly and John discuss the importance of looking beyond the obvious symptoms. Hair thinning, excessive shedding, scalp irritation, inflammation, breakage, and bald patches can have many possible causes—including genetics, hormones, nutritional deficiencies, stress, medications, autoimmune conditions, scalp disorders, and scarring alopecia. In this episode, you’ll learn about: • Complicated and unusual hair loss cases • How a clinical trichologist investigates hair loss • The difference between hair shedding, thinning, and breakage • Why a detailed scalp and hair analysis is important • Commonly missed causes of hair loss • Scarring and non-scarring alopecia • Female and male pattern hair loss • Telogen effluvium and stress-related shedding • Seborrheic dermatitis and inflammatory scalp conditions • The importance of medical history and appropriate blood work • Why hair loss treatment should be personalized • When a referral to a doctor or dermatologist may be necessary This honest and educational conversation shows why hair loss is rarely a one-size-fits-all condition. Successful hair loss management begins with understanding the person’s complete health history, scalp condition, symptoms, lifestyle, and possible contributing factors. If you are experiencing unexplained hair loss, ongoing shedding, scalp discomfort, or treatments that have not worked, this episode will help you better understand the value of a thorough, evidence-based investigation. Freedom Clinic Toronto has been helping people with hair loss, scalp conditions, trichology, hair restoration, and non-surgical hair replacement since 1978. The clinic’s multidisciplinary team provides personalized solutions designed around each client’s individual needs.

   Season 2, Episode 3: It's Not All In Your Head

   Episode 3: Hair Loss Is Not All in Your Head – When You Know Something Has Changed In Episode 3 of Let’s Talk About It With Kelly, presented by Freedom Clinic Toronto, host Kelly Ranney is joined by renowned Certified Clinical Trichologist John Ranney to discuss a frustrating experience many people with hair loss face: being told that nothing is wrong, that their hair loss is normal, or that it is “all in their head.” Hair loss is not always obvious to someone seeing you for the first time. You may notice increased shedding, a thinner ponytail, a wider part, reduced density, changes at the hairline, more visible scalp, or changes in the texture and quality of your hair long before the loss becomes dramatic enough for others to recognize. John explains why early hair loss can sometimes be overlooked during a routine medical examination and why a person’s own observations and history can be extremely important. Hair loss is often gradual, and without previous photographs, measurements, microscopic examination or a detailed history, subtle changes may be difficult to identify. Kelly and John discuss the importance of taking hair-loss concerns seriously and investigating possible causes rather than simply dismissing them. They explore conditions that may cause hair shedding, thinning or changes in density, including androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, traction alopecia, inflammatory scalp conditions and scarring alopecia. The conversation also looks at how trichoscopy, microscopic hair and scalp analysis, pull testing, medical history, blood work and scalp biopsy when appropriate can provide important information when determining why someone is losing their hair. They also discuss common triggers and contributing factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, illness, medications, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid disorders, autoimmune conditions, scalp inflammation and major life or health events. Most importantly, this episode explores the value of early assessment and early intervention. Identifying a hair-loss condition before significant density has been lost may provide more treatment options and a better opportunity to preserve existing hair. Topics include early signs of hair loss, unexplained hair shedding, female hair loss, male hair loss, thinning hair, widening hair part, hair loss diagnosis, hair loss blood tests, trichoscopy, scalp analysis, telogen effluvium, androgenetic alopecia, scarring alopecia, hair loss treatment, hair regrowth, and when to see a hair loss specialist or trichologist. If you feel that your hair has changed, your concerns deserve to be properly evaluated. Hair loss is not always obvious—and it is not necessarily all in your head. Let’s Talk About It With Kelly is presented by Freedom Clinic Toronto, specializing in trichology, hair loss, scalp disorders and evidence-based hair restoration solutions.

   Season 2, Episode 2: Scarring Alopecia

   Episode 2: Scarring Alopecia – Types, Diagnosis & Treatment Options In Episode 2 of Let’s Talk About It With Kelly, presented by Freedom Clinic Toronto, host Kelly Ranney is joined by renowned Certified Clinical Trichologist John Ranney to discuss scarring alopecia, also known as cicatricial alopecia. Scarring alopecia refers to a group of hair loss disorders in which inflammation damages and can permanently destroy the hair follicles. Unlike many non-scarring forms of hair loss, once a follicle has been replaced by scar tissue, it may no longer be capable of producing hair. This makes early recognition, accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment especially important. John explains the different types of scarring alopecia and how they may present on the scalp. Conditions discussed include lichen planopilaris (LPP), frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA), central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, and discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), along with other inflammatory conditions capable of causing permanent follicular damage. Kelly and John explore warning signs that may accompany scarring alopecia, including hair loss or thinning, scalp redness, inflammation, itching, burning, tenderness, pain, scaling, pustules, crusting and changes around the hair follicles. Some forms may progress quietly, making professional assessment important when hair loss appears unusual or continues to worsen. The episode also examines how scarring alopecia is diagnosed, including the role of trichoscopy, microscopic hair and scalp examination, clinical assessment by a dermatologist or trichologist, and scalp biopsy when necessary to confirm the diagnosis. They discuss available treatment options for scarring alopecia, including topical, oral and injectable medications used to reduce inflammation and help slow or stabilize disease progression. Treatments may include corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory medications, immune-modulating therapies and other prescription treatments, depending on the specific type and severity of the condition. Hair restoration options and procedures are also discussed, including when treatments designed to improve hair density may be considered after the inflammatory condition has been successfully controlled and remains stable. Topics include scarring alopecia, cicatricial alopecia, lichen planopilaris, LPP, frontal fibrosing alopecia, FFA, central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, CCCA, dissecting cellulitis, discoid lupus erythematosus, DLE, permanent hair loss, scalp inflammation, scalp biopsy, follicular damage, scarring hair loss treatments, corticosteroid injections, medications for hair loss, and treatments for Scarring Alopecia. An informative discussion for anyone experiencing unexplained or progressive hair loss, persistent scalp symptoms, or a suspected inflammatory or scarring hair loss disorder. Let’s Talk About It With Kelly is presented by Freedom Clinic Toronto, specializing in trichology, hair loss, scalp disorders and evidence-based hair restoration solutions.

   Season 2, Episode 1: Trichotillomania

   Trichotillomania: Hair Pulling, Hair Loss & Treatment Options In this episode of Let’s Talk About It With Kelly, presented by Freedom Clinic Toronto, host Kelly Ranney is joined by renowned Certified Clinical Trichologist John Ranney to discuss trichotillomania, also known as compulsive hair pulling or hair-pulling disorder. John explains how repeated hair pulling can affect the hair follicles, hair growth cycle and scalp, why trichotillomania may cause patchy hair loss and breakage, and whether the hair can grow back after prolonged or repeated pulling. The conversation also explores how trichotillomania can sometimes resemble other types of hair loss, including alopecia areata, traction alopecia, telogen effluvium and scarring alopecia, and how a professional hair and scalp assessment can help identify the underlying cause. Kelly and John also discuss treatment and recovery options, including behavioural approaches, medications that may be considered as part of trichotillomania management, and hair-restoration procedures and therapies that may help support damaged or weakened hair follicles when appropriate. Topics include trichotillomania treatment, hair-pulling disorder, BFRBs, hair regrowth after trichotillomania, damaged hair follicles, scalp health, patchy hair loss, medications for trichotillomania, hair restoration procedures, hair loss treatment, and when to seek professional support. An informative and compassionate discussion for anyone living with trichotillomania, supporting a loved one with compulsive hair pulling, or looking for reliable information about hair loss, hair regrowth and treatment options.
