Do glp1 cause hair loss?

I am on BP medicine and my doctor started me on GLP-1 to reduce weight. I noticed a bit of hair thinning, but my doctor said my lifestyle was missing proper nutrition. Once I started sleeping better and eating enough protein, the shedding stopped completely.

I totally understand how scary it is to see hair on your pillow. When I lost 8 kg quickly, my hair started thinning too. It is just your body adjusting to the sudden weight loss, and it usually grows back once your weight stabilizes.

Losing weight fast can disrupt the body's natural balance, leading to hair fall. Along with your prescribed dosage, make sure you practice pranayama and scalp massage with warm coconut oil. It keeps the hair roots nourished and calms the nervous system.

When you lose weight rapidly on these medicines, hair fall can happen as a temporary side effect of stress on the body. I didn't have time for complex hair care routines, so my doctor just put me on a daily multivitamin. It controlled the shedding within a month.

At my age, my hair was already leaving me, and starting GLP-1 made a few more strands run away! But honestly, losing the dangerous belly fat was much more important for my heart health. The hair shedding does slow down eventually once your body gets used to the diet.

I totally get it, hair loss can be so stressful when you are already trying hard to improve your health. It is usually temporary telogen effluvium from the weight drop. Just make sure you are getting enough protein in your daily diet to help your hair recover.

Yes, rapid weight loss from this treatment can sometimes trigger hair fall. It is best to discuss a proper nutritional plan with your doctor to prevent this.
