What can an 18 year old male do to avoid hair loss?

racris1997
Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this. I am an 18 year old boy who has been losing his hair since a year ago. I contacted my doctor and she said it was totally normal. Now I think it's not normal, I am starting to see my scalp and SO much hair has been falling lately. No one in my family tree has had any issues with their hair. Please help because I am very scared of losing my hair. I also have a very healthy living way; take vitamins, exercise regularly, eats healthy. Thank you.
