Stay in touch add your email to the list ! https://form.jotform.com/25336471779006 Hair loss is one of the most common concerns I hear from people taking GLP-1 medications—but is it really the medication causing it? In this episode, I take a deep dive into the science behind GLP-1-related hair loss, separating fact from fiction. We explore why rapid weight loss, protein and nutrient deficiencies, hormonal changes, and metabolic stress can all contribute to shedding, along with practical strategies to help protect your hair while pursuing your weight-loss goals. I also discuss one of the questions I've been hearing more frequently: why some people seem to experience more hair shedding on retatrutide than tirzepatide. We break down the unique role of glucagon receptor activation, its potential effects on metabolism, heart rate variability (HRV), and physiological stress, and what current research does—and does not—tell us. Whether you're experiencing hair loss yourself or simply want to understand the biology behind it, this episode provides an evidence-based look at one of the most talked-about side effects of today's weight-loss medications. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER This content is for educational and research purposes only.

Follow me on instagram AND TikTOk @westwellnessatx Stay in touch add your email to the list ! https://form.jotform.com/25336471779006 In this episode of the West Wellness & Longevity Podcast, we break down one of the most common frustrations in GLP-1 research — the dreaded “stall.” Why do some individuals initially respond strongly to GLP-based peptides like tirzepatide, retatrutide, or semaglutide, only to see progress slow over time? We explore the research behind metabolic adaptation, receptor desensitization, appetite signaling, energy expenditure, and why the body may begin resisting continued weight loss. We also discuss emerging strategies being explored in the research space, including dose timing, pathway diversification, peptide stacking, and cycling approaches. Takeaways: The stalling of weight loss while on GLP medications is multifactorial and varies significantly among individuals. Metabolic adaptation occurs as weight is lost, leading to a decrease in basal metabolic rate and energy expenditure. Inadequate protein intake can negatively impact satiety and lead to increased calorie consumption during weight loss efforts. Chronic stress and insufficient sleep can interfere with hormonal regulation, ultimately affecting the efficacy of GLP treatments.
