In this episode, let&#39;s discuss common concerns among those on weight loss journeys: hair loss. We explore the phenomenon of telogen effluvium, shedding light on its connection to rapid weight loss and certain medications like semaglutide (Ozempic or Wegovy). While these medications may not directly cause hair loss, the body&#39;s response to significant metabolic changes can trigger this shedding phase. We discuss the importance of understanding the hair growth cycle and offer advice on patience, self-care, and seeking professional guidance. Tune in as we navigate this aspect of the weight loss journey with compassion and insight. <a href="http://www.theacademy4u.com" rel="nofollow">www.theacademy4u.com</a> <a href="http://704-756-2752" rel="nofollow">704-756-2752</a>
