And it's not that the GLP-1 medication class itself is causing hair loss.

Those metabolic changes are causing the hair loss.

And so it's something we call telogen effluvium.

And so as I tell my patients, while our hair might- Telogen effluvium.

Oh, God.

Gosh, why can't we have simple names?

It makes us feel very smart and derm.

That's why we have all these long names that are probably unnecessary.

But as I tell my patients, you know, our hair is really important to us, but to our body, not so much.

So whenever there is a stressor, our body will shed our hair in order to preserve that metabolic energy for more important tasks, right?

Wait, so we shed our hair to...

So we're not giving out that much energy and growing our hair?

When there's a stressor, our hair will shed.

So when there is a mental stressor or a psychological stressor, we see a lot of hair loss with stress for divorces, jobs, grief when a family member passes.

And so I always explain it to my patients that we feel like our hair is really important, but when there is a dramatic shift, it's one of the first things to go.

And what's important about that is that our hair also tells us a lot about the state of our health.

because it is quite sensitive to those changes.

Sometimes I can see that someone's not eating well, they're dieting aggressively, they're really stressed.

And I can see that before they have blood changes or heart changes.

So it really does kind of tattle on the state of our life.
