The malnutrition perspective makes a whole lot of sense, thank you for putting it out there. I started to Wegovy 9 months ago and only went up to the 1.75 mg dosage, which is where I remain. I've lost 20% of my body weight and feel fantastic. And yes, my hair is falling out a bit. I'll pay more attention to protein and overall calorie intake. BTW, this medication is a real game changer for me, my whole psychology around eating feels almost normal for the first time in my adult life. I still love to eat but the portions are just naturally smaller and I don't have cravings and a sense of constant hunger like I used to.
I wish people would get nutrition advice when taking these meds, it’s so important. Lowering processed carbs and making sure you drink enough water and get enough protein and fruits and vegetables will help avoid those terrible side effects of kidney problems and muscle and hair loss. Of course some people will not be able to take them just like any other medication but they’re so useful in helping reversing obesity and its related health problems.
my hair was thick and once i started oz, i started losing hair. a lot of it!!! now, my hair is so thin and not very much new growth... i am thinking of quitting oz as it makes me tired as well. it has been depressing to watch glomps of hair fall out... i have been on oz for 1.5 years and i think that it might be the end of the road for me and oz. i have diabetes and i was put on oz because my a1c was at 13.8... now i am 5.6 and have lost weight on my own. not so much with the help of oz. i hope my dr will let me get off of oz...
I started losing hair at an alarming rate as soon as I started ozympic. I stopped taking it after 5 weeks. I was using it for weight loss, not for diabetes.
I too lost alot of hair with semaglutide. As soon as it was out of my system it stopped falling out. Im doing everything i can to help it start growing again but its been months and no new hair growth.
It stopped falling out after it was out of my system but it's not like it was, my hair was always very thick but not anymore and it's been a year and a half since I stopped it
Your video helped me so much! Both of my doctors (GP and weight loss) said that my hair loss is not from taking diabetes medications, not related at all! I knew it had to be because it started 6 months ago, the time I started taking Ozempic. But now I'm hopeful that I might recover from this, thank you. And I've lost 35 pounds so far, I'm halfway to my goal weight
Thank you for this video! I clicked because suddenly my hair fallout is ridiculous --and I'm on Wegovy. I discovered last year that when I managed to eat zero added sugar, low carb for two months (so a focus more on protein) my usual level of hair fallout ceased almost completely. Fell off the wagon --my hair started falling out again. --This was all pre-wegovy. Suddenly I'm losing so much hair that I remarked today, "How do I have any left?!" And I see where it's thinning. Didn't think about Wegovy. But did think about how I'm eating too much sugar and carbs when I eat. I know I'm not getting enough protein right now. --I also noticed some lines in my nails suggesting some arrested growth. So I'm going to focus on hitting my protein goal and hopefully I don't join the ranks of the bald. I'll report back in a few months. lol
I've started OZEMPIC! ON .5 NOW. MY HAIR IS FALLING OUT BY FIST FULLS!!! YOU CAN SEE MY SCALP SHINING ACROSS THE WHOLE TOP OF MY HEAD!! I CLEANED MY BRUSH OUT BEFORE SHOWER. AFTER BRUSHING MY HAIR AFTER SHOWER BRUSH IS FULL!!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!
Definitely lost almost half my hair volume. Started Ozempic in April for weight loss. Starting losing hair around July. Now December and lost over half my hair. Very thin. 😢
I useded saxnda my hair was SOOO THICK But after i use it immediately My hair fall Out UNORMALLLY I BECAME BALD 👩🦲 and but when i stop it it grew back again I have no idea why but another people using it. They didn’t have the same problem. PLEase HELP ME 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
I finally realized that it had to be saxenda.. my hair thinned out so 😔 bad after I lost 126 lbs. I have PCOS and was put on a saxenda because I was at 286 by my endocrinologist. I used it for around 9 months.... I am so grateful for your video sir.
Cortisol.. sugar going up and down effects cortisol levels. Also remember hormones also effect cortisol levels. Losing weight fast puts your body in a cortisol state..
I also think hair loss is due to malnutrition in a medically free individuals using weight loss injection medications. I used saxenda for 2 years and some days I had sever nausea so I go without eating for more than 30 hr, clearly I was eating way less calories. I lost 25 kg over 2 years and I noticed hair loss over that period. now I'm off saxeda for 1 year and 9 months and thankfully my hair started to grow back. So I fully support your theory.
I lost a lot of hair too. Stopped taking a month ago (wegovy) and I had significantly less shedding when I shampooed the other day. I also see tiny little hairs growing. (Thank god!) I never wear my real hair but I still like my curls and want the option. I’m going to start Viviscal tomorrow and I’ve been using rosemary oil to help stimulate the follicle.
Me too! I've been on Ozempic for a year and noticed my hair loss last December. A patch here and there and then a bald spot. I thought it was from my braids or the protective styles I wear so I went to the dermatologist and he said I have no issues with my scalp and no alopecia. So I'm going to speak to my doctor and get off this stuff.
My hair loss was excessive using Ozempic. After 6 months, I’m still on prescription meds to grow my hair back.m, will have to continue to pay for this high cost med for a year at least. Loved the weight loss, it was a plus (I was on it for diabetes) but being skinny doesn’t look good on a bald head for me. Just saying.
I am thinking of going off ozempic, isn't helping weight-loss but I'm 160 was closer to 170 , my diabetes is 7 to 8 but I'll keep intermittent fasting and working out.
I've been on Ozempic for about 8 months now & have lost 60Lbs. Something else I'm currently losing is my hair. The whole frontal area is very thin and has receded almost an inch. Do I think it's Ozempic? Yes and No. I think it has something to do with my weight loss & possibly hormones. All I know is that I had a full head of hair with a mature hairline before taking Ozempic.
I have thin hair but it was always thick enough to cover my scalp my hair is falling out from ozempic it's not breakage it's coming from the scalp full strands. They said people who have gastric bypass lose they're hair, well that's what this is without the surgery. Been wearing a wig and just said f.....it
I’m losing fistfuls of hair daily after 5 months on ozempic. The malnutrition makes a lot of sense. I’ve lost 45 pounds in the last couple months. I had thick, luxurious hair prior to this and I’ve lost so much. I’m going to come off the ozempic. I was taking it for weight loss, and I’ve lost the weight. I’m not a diabetic, but this is not the cause of my weight loss. My A1C prior to starting the medication was under 6. This is crazy, and it’s going to start getting worse. It’s awful. It’s also not other medications. I’ve been on the same 4 meds for years, and have never lost hair.
Intermittent fasting such as the 20:4 fasting/eating window is known to cause hair thinning. I knew it was coming b4 starting, but 3 months of Saxenda + 20:4 when I first noticed hair falling I began eating more & dropped down to 16:8.
I’m eating 1800 calories a day (weighs 122 kg) and eat around 100 g of protein daily. I’m still loosing a lot of hair 🤷🏼♀️I’m using saxenda and only other sickness is fibromyalgia and lipedema.
I add some protein powder to my morning coffee to help me get protein, I've never been able to eat in the morning, but later in the day I'm very hungry, Ozempic has helped me eat less at night but now I have to force protein down during the day
@@theofficialdrdan It didn't get easier, I've gone back to just coffee in the morning and just snacking a little bit at around lunchtime, the more I try to force any type of food down in the morning, the more nauseous I get.
Be careful. Yes I've lost 45 pounds on this. Yes I've lost hair but just yesterday the 8 day severe diarrhea I had right along with sulfur burps and some kidney pain....well put it this way, I will NEVER take this med again. I did end up in the ER as I needed IV fluids. I attribute all this to Ozempic. I could be wrong and what I just went through may be rare BUT just please be careful. By the way I am not diabetic. I started it in September 2021 for weight-loss only.
I lost a similar amount of weight via a VLCD 6 years ago, I experienced the same hair loss as I am now on Ozempic. Thankfully have a lot of hair so it's not noticeable yet but I will try to up my protein intake.
Is it just me or do a lot of these side effects mimic those you experience on a really low calorie diet? A friend of mine had an ED for many years and so many of these symptoms matched the ones she had. Is there any link?
I am. And, I'm sooooooooo glad I happened to stumble across this video. My Dr has checked EVERYTHING lab work can give definitive answers to rule out my hair falling out in handfuls. Ozempic, though, is not one of the things we have even considered. I would be happy to share my test results with you if you'd like to see if there's something we are all missing that you may see.
I would do some trial and error with your diet! See what happens. If not try stopping ozempic and see what occurs. Unfortunately lab values are not showing us potential issues!
I have been taking ozempic for about 8 months. I lost 25 lbs in about 12 weeks then I hit a plateau. I also noticed hair falling out in handfuls. I think I'm eating enough, but will increase fat and protein. My doctor thought it might be an iron deficiency, but still waiting for test results.
I am prediabetic, I was on ozpenic but due to the side effect of blurry vision my doctor switch me to victoza. Can victoza cause hair loss? Also I have been taking atorvastatin which causes memory problems and confusion it also causes hair loss. I have always had stress so my hair falling out was normal but then I notice more hair falling out and a little bald spot.
I did not realize how little protein I was actually consuming daily until I tracked it. I upped my protein signigicantly and feel better. I started losing my hair at week 5-6 and I was only on a dose of semaglutide of .1 then to .2. I am hoping the increase in protein will help w/the hair loss and nausea. If the nausea does not subside, I will not be continuing w/the medication.
Thanks for the information. I figured my hair was was due to my weight loss on Ozempic (0.5mg) and the fact I Know I dont get enough protein. I lost 45lbs in 3months. Started noticing massive hair loss at about 5months. I have started adding protein (60g) to my morning smoothie. I know thats still not enough but its a start.
I have taken semiglutide and I have experienced hair loss. I did lose about 17 pounds.. I have kept the weight off however, my hair is brittle and it’s breaking. It’s not necessarily falling out at the follicle. It’s just brittle and I only take it once a month now I’m just wondering if maybe in the beginning when I was taking a shot every seven days, it may be depleted my body because obviously I’ve eaten less but I still eat really healthy and good hopefully it will subside since I’m only taking the shot once a month now to maintain my weight.
I recommend anyone taking this to consider supplementing their diet with multivitamins, collagen peptides, fiber, and probiotics prior to starting. Lots of water and don’t allow your body to go into starvation mode. Also Change your eating behaviors and exercise and prayers. Good luck!
Thank you for this video. I've been on Saxenda for 5 months now and have lost 22kg. I am currently loosing a lot of hair. WAY more than normal. The strange thing is that my hair is falling out in handfulls... but my facial hair has become a lot worse. At this rate Im going to be a bald but bearded lady. Can it be hormones?
So you said Ozempic effect of slowing gastric emptying subsided after a time as your body get used to it? What causes you to feel full after that? Does the slowed motility stop working? Wondering as I have gastric motility issues already but need to lose weight.
Any extreme weight loss side effect is hair loss. I lost weight with the Atkins diet and lost hair, so did my kids. Relatives and friends that had gastric bypass surgery also lost hair. When your body is under stress you lose hair. Take a good liquid vitamin supplement to try to replace nutrients you are missing. Liquid vitamins are more easily absorbed. Add an additional Hair, Skin, Nails vitamin.
What nightmare. I’ve been on ozempic sice may to lose weight: doctor swore it’s a miracle without side effects. I’ve lost almost 15 pounds in 3 months that’s good. Except, most of my long thick beautiful hair came out, I now wear a wig. Stay away from this drug would be my advice.
Wow!! thank you so much for your videos! I just found you so forgive me if you have already covered this in a previous video. I live with several medical chronic illnesses (as well as schizophrenia) and the worst part of all the meds I take are the anti-psychotics. My illness is under control but the meds make me hungry all the time and make weight loss very very difficult. Would something like ozembic potentially work for me? What sort of questions should I be asking?
I mean of course your going to have hair loss with Ozempic and similar medications. Any severe calorie restriction will cause hair loss among other issues.
I think there is hair loss, but I don't think it's related directly to the drug. Moreso due to the change in diet, minimal calories and therefore, a lack of essential nutrients.
Shave it off when it's time. Look at Jason Statham absolutely sexy. Bald is sexy. Let it go... you're handsome you can pull it off. I haven't noticed any hairloss on ozempic. I'm on 1mg. I have stopped colouring my hair but haven't noticed after a year so far. I think it varies in everyone.
The malnutrition perspective makes a whole lot of sense, thank you for putting it out there. I started to Wegovy 9 months ago and only went up to the 1.75 mg dosage, which is where I remain. I've lost 20% of my body weight and feel fantastic. And yes, my hair is falling out a bit. I'll pay more attention to protein and overall calorie intake.

I have very thick hair. Almost immediately my hair began to fall out. I stopped taking ozempic.

How soon after the five weeks did it stop? Is it growing back?
Did your hair loss resolve ? Grow back?
It started coming back a couple months after I stopped using the Ozempic (along with the few pounds I lost). I see no more than normal shedding now.
I too lost alot of hair with semaglutide. As soon as it was out of my system it stopped falling out. Im doing everything i can to help it start growing again but its been months and no new hair growth.

I have been losing my hair since starting ozempic. I thought it was from Covid.
I agree- it’s a stressor caused by weight loss. Most people who have had weight loss surgery also experience extensive hair loss.
Cortisol.. sugar going up and down effects cortisol levels. Also remember hormones also effect cortisol levels. Losing weight fast puts your body in a cortisol state..
I also think hair loss is due to malnutrition in a medically free individuals using weight loss injection medications.

I have lost a lot of hair on Ozempic!!
Same
Me too. It has absolutely ruined my hair.

with low calorie diets then comes low iron, common reason for hair loss especially in ladies.
No 'link' has been made yet but I would argue that the malnourishment component could certainly be of concern.

Dr Dan how can you make a person eat that don’t have a appetite like at all
Start small. We all do things every day that are hard, but if we start slow and increase then it gets easier.
I am prediabetic, I was on ozpenic but due to the side effect of blurry vision my doctor switch me to victoza. Can victoza cause hair loss? Also I have been taking atorvastatin which causes memory problems and confusion it also causes hair loss.

You are welcome :)
Thank you for this video. I've been on Saxenda for 5 months now and have lost 22kg. I am currently loosing a lot of hair. WAY more than normal. The strange thing is that my hair is falling out in handfulls... but my facial hair has become a lot worse. At this rate Im going to be a bald but bearded lady. Can it be hormones?
I would optimize diet first! But tough to say follow up with doc.
So you said Ozempic effect of slowing gastric emptying subsided after a time as your body get used to it? What causes you to feel full after that? Does the slowed motility stop working? Wondering as I have gastric motility issues already but need to lose weight.
Its main effect is within the brain. Reducing your wanting and food seeking behaviours.
I have noticed my body hair has been growing like a weed since I been on Ozempic . Have not noticed any loss on my head 😊
PCOS patients and or thyroid function to start with.
Any extreme weight loss side effect is hair loss. I lost weight with the Atkins diet and lost hair, so did my kids. Relatives and friends that had gastric bypass surgery also lost hair. When your body is under stress you lose hair. Take a good liquid vitamin supplement to try to replace nutrients you are missing. Liquid vitamins are more easily absorbed. Add an additional Hair, Skin, Nails vitamin.
My hair is shedding like crazy on ozempic but I’m not mad, my hair is thick and curly
Keep that up and you'll regret it. So was mine until saxenda ☠️
What nightmare. I’ve been on ozempic sice may to lose weight: doctor swore it’s a miracle without side effects. I’ve lost almost 15 pounds in 3 months that’s good. Except, most of my long thick beautiful hair came out, I now wear a wig.
Stay away from this drug would be my advice.
I’m female and had beautiful hair before this drug. I lost 60% in under 3 months. Do not have diabetes.
I am on Wegovy for weight loss and losing hair by the handful daily.
Scary. I was supposed to start next week with wegovy 😳 I already have issues with alopecia areata so I think I'll pass.
Me as well. Stopping. Did you hair loss stop?
Poor nutrition and not eating enough could cause it. I never feel hungry on Ozempic.
Wow!! thank you so much for your videos! I just found you so forgive me if you have already covered this in a previous video. I live with several medical chronic illnesses (as well as schizophrenia) and the worst part of all the meds I take are the anti-psychotics. My illness is under control but the meds make me hungry all the time and make weight loss very very difficult. Would something like ozembic potentially work for me? What sort of questions should I be asking?
It might. I have a webinar on weight management with weight promoting medications: th-cam.com/video/k6fWS6zWc5U/w-d-xo.html
Same as on Metformin or Statin Drugs
Statin makes your hair fall out?
I mean of course your going to have hair loss with Ozempic and similar medications. Any severe calorie restriction will cause hair loss among other issues.
No its the meds
I think there is hair loss, but I don't think it's related directly to the drug. Moreso due to the change in diet, minimal calories and therefore, a lack of essential nutrients.
i lost hair on my Weenie while on this drug now i'm going to get a Lawyer
10 year old toddler?
hahaha. i’m wondering the same here
Shave it off when it's time. Look at Jason Statham absolutely sexy. Bald is sexy. Let it go... you're handsome you can pull it off. I haven't noticed any hairloss on ozempic. I'm on 1mg. I have stopped colouring my hair but haven't noticed after a year so far. I think it varies in everyone.
