It’s one of the most distressing side effects people can experience during a weight loss journey, yet almost no one warns you about it.

At first, it’s easy to dismiss. Then it starts showing up everywhere: in the shower drain, on your pillow, and in your hands every time you run your fingers through your hair.

In this episode, I’m joined by board-certified dermatologist and hair loss specialist Dr. Katherine Nolan to break down why rapid weight loss can trigger shedding, how the hair growth cycle actually works, which labs to ask your doctor for, and when medication might make sense.

We’ll also talk through some of the biggest myths, including why expensive serums and biotin supplements are not usually the fix people hope they are.
