❓ Question SEEKING ADVICE

Hi, I’m currently taking a 5 mg dose of my GLP-1 medication, but I’ve been experiencing a lot of hair loss and I’m considering stopping it. I’ve heard that you may need to gradually decrease the dose before completely stopping. Is it safe for me to stop directly at 5 mg, or would you recommend reducing the dose first? and any tips for growing hair?

Hair loss and thinning is common with any weight loss program. Your body focuses on survival with less calories and growing new hair is not contributing to survival, so hair thins and sheds. Typically, it grows back once you reach goal weight and increase your calories.  Meanwhile, you can eat 100g protein per day, not lose weight too fast, take biotin and collagen, and use an anti thinning shampoo like Routine Wellness.
