I'm so grateful. I need to say that first, because everything after this is going to sound like a complaint, and it's not. I've lost 70 pounds in 6 months on a GLP-1 medication. Seventy. In six months. I genuinely did not think that number was possible for my body, not after a decade of trying everything else first — every diet, every 6am gym membership I let lapse by March, every "just eat less and move more" comment from a relative who meant well and understood nothing. And through all of it, barely any side effects. No nausea to speak of. No stomach issues that knocked me sideways the way I'd read about online. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, some horror story symptom that would make me question the whole thing, and it just... didn't. I felt lucky. I still feel lucky. I want to say that twice because I mean it twice. Except for one thing. My hair is falling out. Not thinning gradually, the way you'd brace yourself for with just getting older — falling out, in the shower, on my pillow when I wake up, wrapped around my fingers when I run a hand through it without even thinking about it. I found a strand on my kid's shoulder last week and had a full moment about it in the school pickup line, sunglasses on, pretending I wasn't crying a little. Here's the part that actually got to me, more than the hair itself: I'm doing everything right. I only wash my hair once or twice a week now, because I read overwashing makes it worse, so I've been living with second-day hair and dry shampoo like it's a personality trait. I hit 80 to 100 grams of protein most days, tracking it like a part-time job, weighing chicken breast at 9pm because I was 15 grams short. I take a multivitamin every single morning, without fail, lined up next to my coffee so I physically cannot forget it. I've done all the things you're "supposed" to do. And it kept happening anyway. I know it's just hair. I know it grows back, mostly, eventually, for most people. I know there are worse things a medication could be doing to my body, and I try to keep that in perspective on the days it's hardest not to. But I wanted to be honest about this part, because I don't see many people talking about it, and I spent a solid month convinced something was uniquely wrong with me before I found out how common it actually is — scrolling forums at midnight, comparing notes with strangers, feeling both relieved and a little sick that this was apparently just a known thing nobody mentions before you start. What finally made sense of it was a conversation with my doctor, who I called half-convinced she was going to tell me to stop the medication altogether. She didn't. She explained it in a way that reframed the whole thing for me. "You're not deficient because you're not trying," she said. "You're deficient because you're eating so much less overall that even a good diet and a daily multivitamin isn't enough volume to cover what your body needs right now — especially for something like hair, which is never the priority when your body's managing a deficit this large. It's going to protect your heart, your muscle, your organs first, every time, without asking your permission." That sentence undid a month of feeling like I was somehow failing at this. I wasn't failing. I was doing everything "right," and it still wasn't enough, because the problem was never effort. It was that a once-a-day multivitamin, taken on a much smaller amount of food overall, just doesn't have the volume or the delivery to reach hair follicles once your body's finished prioritizing everything else first. I tried adjusting what I already had before looking for anything new. Doubled up on the same multivitamin for a couple weeks, which my doctor actually told me not to keep doing long-term. Added a biotin gummy on top of that. Tried eating even more protein than I already was, which on this medication some days feels like a genuine athletic event. None of it moved the needle by week six. That's the part that made me actually look into Moerie's Beauty Boost capsules instead of just buying another multivitamin and hoping for a different result. Most multivitamins, including the one I'd been taking religiously, dissolve within about an hour. One spike of nutrients, sent to vital functions first — digestion, energy, repair. On a much smaller amount of food overall, there's even less in that spike to begin with, and even less of it ever reaches your hair by the time your body's done with everything else on the list. Moerie's capsules use a layered, multi-coated structure designed to release nutrients gradually over up to 8 hours after you take them, for a more sustained supply throughout the day — instead of one quick spike that's gone before your hair ever sees it. I want to stay honest here, the way I've tried to be honest through this whole post. I'm not a doctor, and I checked with mine before adding this on top of my existing routine — please do the same, especially if you're on a GLP-1 medication, since your doctor can flag anything specific to your situation or your other medications. Zinc and vitamin E, two of the ingredients, have documented benefits for hair loss prevention specifically in people with a deficiency, alongside other treatment methods, not instead of them. This isn't a miracle fix and it won't undo hair loss that has nothing to do with nutrient intake. If the shedding is severe or doesn't improve, please talk to your doctor before assuming it's this. I'm not going to pretend it was instant, because nothing about this journey has been instant. Weeks 1–2: no real change yet, and honestly I was bracing myself to be disappointed again. Kept taking two capsules every morning, right next to my multivitamin so I wouldn't forget. Week 5: less hair in the drain. My sister noticed before I let myself admit it — she said my ponytail looked "fuller," which made me want to cry a little, standing in her kitchen, for reasons that had nothing to do with sadness for once. Week 9: new growth along my part. Small, soft, barely-there hairs that genuinely weren't there before, the kind you have to catch the light just right to see. By month 3, the shedding had calmed down completely. My part filled back in by month 4, and I stopped avoiding mirrors in good lighting, stopped angling my face down in photos, stopped doing the thing where I'd touch the crown of my head first thing every morning like I was checking for damage. I'm still on my medication. I still eat far less than I used to, and I'm still grateful every single day for the 70 pounds, for the knees that don't hurt anymore, for fitting in an airplane seat without asking for the extender. But I don't have to grieve my hair on top of everything else anymore, and I didn't expect how much that would matter to me until it stopped being a thing I had to think about. If you're on this journey and month 3 or 4 hit your hair the way it hit mine — even though you're doing everything right — you're not alone, and you're not failing at this. Nobody warns you this part is coming, and I wish someone had told me sooner that it's common, explainable, and not a verdict on how well you're doing everything else. You can check out the capsules that helped me here: pills.moerie.com P.S. — Two capsules every morning, with water. I keep them right next to my multivitamin so it's one habit, not two. P.S. — There's a return window if it's not right for you — no hoops, just an email. P.S. — My sister's the one who actually convinced me to post this. Said someone else out there is probably Googling their shower drain at 11pm feeling crazy, the same way I was a few months ago. P.S. — I almost didn't mention the multivitamin doubling-up thing because it felt like admitting I'd panicked and made it worse before making it better. But if you've done the same, you're not alone in that either. P.S. — If you remember one thing: doing everything "right" and still losing hair on this journey isn't a personal failure. It's a volume and delivery problem, not an effort problem. That's the whole reason I started taking something built to actually solve for it, instead of just taking more of what wasn't working.
