The GLP-1 hype cycle — separating fact from marketing

The hair loss started around week 9 for me and I panicked. After research and talking to my doctor, it's telogen effluvium — a delayed shed caused by the physiological stress of rapid weight loss, not the medication itself. It slows down around month 4-5. Biotin and collagen peptides haven't hurt. Just wanted to share this so the next person isn't as scared as I was.

My doctor kept me at 0.5mg for 10 weeks. Slower titration, fewer side effects — worth it.

Congrats! That first 25 lbs is the hardest because you're still figuring everything out.
