If one more person tells me to just eat more protein I'm gonna lose it! I'm a nurse. I've been on Mounjaro for 10 months. Down 57 pounds, and I've lost about half my hair. I hit my protein, 100 grams of protein a day. I take my vitamins andI drink a lot of water. And every morning I'm still pulling hair out of the shower drain like I work at a salon. Let me save you the speech I've gotten for a year "It's just stress." "It's temporary, just give it time." "Are you sure you're eating enough protein?" 10 months. 57 pounds. 90 grams of protein a day. So like any rational woman losing her mind, I bought everything. Biotin. Collagen. Nutrafol yes, the $89 one. A rosemary spray I found on TikTok. A scalp serum that smelled like a dying plant. I added it up one night, close to 700 dollars. For less hair than I started with. And here's the part that broke me. My bloodwork came back fine. Thyroid, fine. B12, iron, Vitamin D, all fine. So I'm sitting in my doctor's office holding paperwork that says everything is normal , while I'm literally going bald. That's when you start to think maybe the problem is you. Maybe your body is just broken. Maybe this is the price of not being fat anymore. I cried in my car about it. I don't cry about a lot of things. Then I was on shift with a pharmacist I've known for years. I mentioned the hair thing. She looked at me like I was an idiot and she said: "Do you actually know how these shots work inside your body?" And I realized… no. I didn't. Not really. I knew they made me not hungry. So she explained it. And once you hear this, you can't unhear it. Those shots work by slowing your stomach down. Way down. Food just sits there for up to 3 times longer. That's literally how they make you feel full. It’s great for weight loss. But your stomach doesn't know the difference between food and a pill. It slows everything down. So that biotin tablet I was swallowing every morning? It wasn't dissolving in 45 minutes like it was supposed to. It was sitting in my stomach acid for hours. And stomach acid breaks down steak. So imagine what it does to a little pill. Before the vitamins ever reach the part of my body that actually absorbs them. My Nutrafol. Same thing. My collagen pills, same thing. My stomach was destroying it before my body ever saw it. I wasn't undisciplined. I wasn't "too far gone." I wasn't unlucky. I was swallowing pills into a stomach that wasn't working like a normal stomach anymore. And suddenly everything made sense. Why was my bloodwork normal, because bloodwork tests what's in my blood. It doesn't test whether what I'm swallowing is getting absorbed properly. Why "more protein" didn't fix it. Why switching brands didn't fix it. Nutrafol isn't bad. Biotin isn't bad. They were fine. My stomach on GLP-1 was the problem and nobody told me that. Every pill I was taking for months, my body was getting a fraction of what was on the label. No wonder nothing worked. Okay so then I asked her: what does work? You need something that doesn't need to survive your stomach. Something that breaks down before it gets to your stomach. Which means something you chew. Because when you chew something, it mixes with saliva and the saliva starts breaking it down in your mouth. By the time it hits your stomach, it's already halfway digested. Your slowed stomach can’t ruin it anymore, the nutrients are already on their way. That's it. That's the whole fix. So I stopped buying pills. I switched to a gummy made specifically for women on these shots. It's called Balmbare hair revive gummies. 5 months in, I'm not gonna lie and say it's a miracle. It's not overnight. But the shedding started slowing down around week 3. By week 8 I had baby hairs all along my hairline I hadn't seen in a year. My hairdresser saw them too, And I'm still on my GLP-1. I didn't have to choose between my hair or weight loss. I'll drop the link below for anyone who wants to check it out. But honestly even if you don't try these gummies, if you're on a GLP-1 and still swallowing pills for your hair, please stop. You're feeding them to stomach that can't properly absorb them, you’re flushing your money down the toilet, I know how it feels. Get something you chew. Okay.
