Haircare Help!
The first time I lost my hair was three months after I had COVID. Since then, I started perimenopause (which didn't help) and lost 70 pounds on a GLP-1 medication (which didn't help). Whenever your body goes through stress, you can lose hair. Here ar...
I use a low dose of oral minoxidil to treat my hair loss. I've noticed a big difference in the amount of hairfall I have. It takes about three months to work, but you must check with your doctor.

Mounjaro is a miracle drug, bottom line. I lost about 70 pounds using it and I'm still on it (at a low dose). It is a game changer for me and as long as I maintain my hydration level, it is relatively discomfort free. As always, check with your docto...

If you're on a GLP-1, you will need to drink electrolytes. If you feel nauseous, there's a good chance electrolytes and more water will help. This brand is good for getting enough each day. The sugar-free kind are less yucky tasting. Another tip: put...
