Aside from supporting her husband, Kyle Busch, on the racetrack, Samantha Busch is carving out his own niche. She has pretty much become a social media influencer in her own right. And she’s never shy of using her platform to share her personal story of struggle and triumph. And she’s doing it once again, embracing a major change in her life that has got her stressed.
Since 2022, the Busch matriarch has been suffering from a case of alopecia. And from time to time, she did share an update about the care and treatment she had been taking to tackle this issue. “Sharing for all my girls out there going thru the same and feeling helpless, I appreciate you reaching out with suggestion of what has worked for you.” Samantha did make some good progress through the treatments and suggestions she received, but all of that hard work has come to a screeching halt. This was evident from her latest update.
“I have been losing handfuls of hair a day. TMI, but hey, that’s what my podcast is going to be certified over sharing. I was on my p—-d on and off for almost 17 days. Don’t know what has sparked all of this. This weekend, I’m going for a ton of labs. Just get some blood work done. That’s what’s happening, that’s kind of just been really discouraging. Overall, my medications and all my supplements. I’m like, ‘Okay, what’s going to help it now this time if it doesn’t stop?'” Samantha shared this on Instagram stories.

Earlier, she made a massive lifestyle change to combat her alopecia. Initially, she always avoided consuming red meat, but she broke the 25-year code to notice a change in her hair growth. This proved to be a game-changer. Yet, the alarm bell went off again this year. Just a week ago, she made a query online, “Looking for a hair loss specialist to interview preferably in the lake Norman area. The goal is to have a deep convo to explain hormonal, environmental, autoimmune, menopause how it all relates to hair loss so that we can open the convo to normalize and help break the stigma around women’s hair loss.”
This isn’t the first time Samantha has opened up about the changes her body is experiencing as she grows older. Like always, Samantha Busch will document this journey and try to bounce back like she always has. But, even during these testing times, Brexton’s mom shared another life hack for her followers online.

Samantha Busch shares a healthy recipe that requires minimal effort
Kyle Busch might be the racer, but her wife Samantha is a true athlete. From her workout routines to diet, she has managed to stay fit and healthy. Having given up on milk and dairy products, she has turned to red meat and veggies, which make up a good chunk of her daily calorie intake. Then there is the 85-15 per cent meal plan that allows her to enjoy the regular treats once in a while.
Just a few days ago, she took to Instagram and shared the recipe for Samantha’s wellness bowl. The fun part is that most of the items she used for the meal can be found in the household or can be easily substituted. Arucula was her choice of greens on the plate, this was followed by boiled rice and pre-cooked shredded chicken. Cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and sliced parmesan cheese completed the plate. Then came the dressing. Samantha took a portion of extra virgin olive oil, mixed it with balsamic vinegar, and lemon. To finish things off, a sunny-side-up egg sprinkled with Truffle salt made the dish complete.
