@denverskindoc: Can GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound cause hair loss? 💉 As a dermatologist, here’s why rapid weight loss can trigger telogen effluvium and what you can do to reduce shedding and support healthy hair regrowth. #GLP1HairLoss #OzempicHairLoss #ZepboundHairLoss #TelogenEffluvium #learnontiktok 📹 @carichereevela
Pumpkin seed oil supplement with Saw Palmetto, vitamin D3 & K2. Using Nizoral 2x a week. Also started making a tea water with rosemary, nettle and clove, spraying it on the sparser areas and scalp every day

Competitive bodybuilder here. Used glp for prep last year. Still ate 150g of protein a day and lost almost all my hair on top of my head. I take hundreds of dollars of supplements and can tell you exactly what I eat by the gram everyday. I agree loosing too fast puts stress on the body, but something else is going on to cause the hair loss.

I am convinced it’ll come out that it’s amplified on the GLP1, not just the weight loss. I have lost weight other ways and faster and never had this much hair loss.. I am a slow responder on my GLP…eating 80-100mg of protein a day. Spironolactone is the only thing that made it stop.

I’m so depressed over my hair loss 😭 I already had super fine and thin hair, but now it’s AWFUL. I lost 75lbs over the span of 14 months, and I swear to you, it was as gradual as it could be. Saw a derm, he said telogen effluvium as well. He told me to take topical minoxidil and when I told him I had cats, he almost rolled his eyes and said it was fine as long as my cats weren’t licking my scalp and that “he hasn’t heard about cats dying left and right from owners taking topical.” 😳 I was floooooored. I’m not gonna risk that, ever! I am actually slightly anemic as well but have been for a long time and he told me my anemia has nothing to do with my hair loss. I’m so lost and feel so defeated because my hair just keeps falling out. Is there not a lab/test to determine if my protein intake is adequate? CMP/zinc was perfect!

user6260107616513 :
same, I just quit. Im not willing to loose my hair. Protein intake was 130 grams daily, labs came back normal, and only lost 5 lbs over 3 months. Definitely the medication causing the hair loss.

The Darkness :
I had a small amount of thinning, could also be that I am 30/40 being on them. I made sure to eat protein and took vitamins. I think that helped me.
I have been on the lowest dosage for 7 months, lost weight gradually, eating a high protein diet in a moderate calorie deficit, monitoring macronutrients and micronutrient, working out 4-5x/week and and still i’ve lost so much hair regardless 😭

Karolina⛧🇵🇱 :
the problem with a GLP1 is that some of us cannot physically eat enough food because the medication makes us so full that I get sick if I eat too much

Bumble Frog :
I definitely lost weight very fast naturally once and never lost hair like this. Definitely there something in the glp. Also if you have pets be careful of monoxidil

themagicianswife2018 :
I was on a GLP and lost like 50 pounds in 8 months. Then my hair started falling out in clumps. I did labs and turns out I have PCOS (high DHEA levels) go figure the best medicine for PCOS is me continuing the GLP 😢 Now I’m 3 days into oral minoxidil

Stacey Beebe Meyer :
I’m only losing .5-2 pounds per week. And I eat about 100 grams of protein a day. Minoxidil is the only thing that works for me.

I lost 2 stone over 6 months on wegovy. That’s 1lb a week, that’s a slow weight loss! Still lost a ton of hair. There’s definitely something else going on!
