My best friend quit Mounjaro last March. ‎‎ She said she couldn’t handle it anymore. 10 months on the medication, 34 pounds gone… and then the hair started falling out. In the shower, on her pillow, wrapped around her fingers whenever she touched it. ‎ ‎ She called me crying from her car after a salon appointment. Her hairdresser had pulled her aside and told her she could see her scalp. ‎ She stopped the medication the next week. ‎ That was eight months ago. She gained 22 pounds back, and her hair is still thin. ‎ I watched her go through that. And four months later, I started finding clumps of hair in my own drain. ‎ October 3 I started Zepbound in July and was down 26 pounds. ‎ Then one morning I found a clump of hair in the shower and just stood there holding it. ‎ I called my friend. She said, “I know… I’m so sorry.” ‎ I thought about quitting. Then I remembered that she gained the weight back and her hair still hasn’t recovered. ‎ I decided I wasn’t stopping. ‎ October 11 Bought biotin. Everyone said I should try it first. ‎ October 19 Still shedding so I added collagen. ‎ November 28 – Thanksgiving I wore my hair down for family photos. First time in years I’d been this weight. I finally felt good in my body again. ‎ My sister asked if I had done something different with my hair. ‎ I said no. ‎ But I had. I spent 40 minutes making sure the thin spot in my part didn’t show. ‎ 3 months of biotin & Collagen and I was still losing hair. ‎ December 4 – 2am My husband was asleep. I was at the kitchen table Googling ‎ ‎ ‎ “Why is my hair still falling out on GLP-1 even with biotin, collagen, and Nutrafol?” ‎ ‎ I found a thread that stopped me mid-scroll. ‎ ‎ “I lost 150 lbs with diet and exercise. No hair loss. My sister lost the same amount on Ozempic and lost half her hair. The only difference was the medication.” ‎ I read it 3 times. ‎ ‎ Same weight loss. Different outcome. The medication was the only variable. ‎ So I stopped focusing on nutrition and started researching what GLP-1 meds actually do hormonally. December 5 After hours of reading, I learned GLP-1 medications can trigger a hormonal shift that may increase DHT, the same hormone behind male pattern baldness. ‎ ‎DHT binds to hair follicles and slowly shrinks them. The hair gets thinner… and eventually stops growing. ‎ Biotin feeds the follicle. Collagen feeds the follicle. Nutrafol feeds the follicle. ‎ But if DHT is actively shrinking the follicle, only feeding it won’t fix the problem. ‎ ‎The real question was: What’s attacking my follicles hormonally, and how do I stop it? December 6 I searched for natural DHT blockers. Two ingredients kept showing up together: pumpkin seed oil and saw palmetto. ‎ One helps slow the conversion of testosterone into DHT. The other helps block DHT from attaching to the follicle. ‎ I looked for something that combined both in the right amounts and found Hair Revive Gummies from BalmBare. ‎ I read every review and ordered it that night. ‎ December 20 Two weeks in. Still shedding, maybe this won’t work? ‎ January 9 I noticed way less hair in the drain. ‎ January 31 – 6 weeks in I noticed baby hairs along my hairline. My part was filling in. ‎ February 18 My hairdresser stopped mid-cut and said, ‎ “Whatever you’re doing… keep doing it. Your hair is responding.” ‎ I was so happy, I tried not to cry. ‎ March 3 I told my friend everything, the DHT, the research, why biotin didn’t work. ‎ She went quiet and finally said, “If had known this before I stopped…” ‎ She ordered the same gummies that night and slowly went back on her medication. ‎ Today I’m Still on Zepbound and down 41 pounds. ‎ At my daughter’s birthday last weekend, I put my hair in a ponytail without having to think about it. ‎ I didn’t have to choose between my weight loss and my hair. ‎ I just didn’t know what was actually causing the hair loss. ‎ Edit: A lot of people asked what I used, it’s Hair Revive Gummies from BalmBare (pumpkin seed oil + saw palmetto).
