Why GLP-1 Medications May Be Causing Hair Loss Noticing Hair Changes on GLP-1?
Understanding what’s happening in your body and what you can do next.
If you’ve recently started taking a GLP-1 medication and noticed changes in your hair, you’re not alone. Many individuals experience increased shedding or thinning, and it can feel unexpected, especially when you’re focused on improving your overall health.
HERE’S WHAT’S HAPPENING
- GLP-1 medications work by slowing digestion and reducing appetite, which can lead to rapid weight loss. While this can be beneficial in many ways, it may also place stress on the body.
- When the body experiences this kind of internal shift, it can redirect energy away from functions like hair growth. This can push more hair into the shedding phase, leading to noticeable thinning over time.
- In addition, reduced calorie intake and potential nutrient deficiencies can further impact the health of your hair and scalp.The important thing to understand is that this is not just about hair.
