GLP1 medications ~ Does losing weight mean losing your hair? 

Rabiya is 49 years old, she is a wife and mother living in Kent, who has lived in many different countries throughout her life.

After not feeling well, she had some tests and her blood pressure and cholesterol were raised, and she was told she was also diabetic. She says she had slowly put on weight over the years, and at the time was 75kg and only 5" tall, with swelling in her hands & ankles.

Her Doctor had advised her to focus on changing her diet and lifestyle, but she knew that she couldn't do it without help. She knows a couple of endocrinologists, and they helped to advise her. She decided to go private, and was prescribed a GLP1 known as Monjuaro. 

Rabiya reduced her calories to a deficit, and began a low dose following a plan over an 18 month timeframe. She says that the medication removed her bloating, and the 'food noise', so that she could focus on losing weight and getting healthy. She lost 24kg in 6 months.

Unfortunately, this also led to her experiencing a large amount of hair shedding. Due to this she sought help from a trichologist, and began to focus not just on cutting calories, but on the nutritional value of her food too. 

She has now seen a huge improvement in her hair health, as well as her overall health and vitality. She shares her story openly and honestly!
