Losing weight on a GLP-1 but noticing more hair in the shower? There’s a reason, and it may not be the medication itself.
Hair shedding can occur during GLP-1–assisted weight loss, particularly when rapid weight loss, reduced protein intake, and nutrient deficiencies trigger telogen effluvium, a temporary form of excessive shedding.
This free guide breaks down why GLP-1–related hair loss happens, when shedding typically starts, how long it may last, and what your hair actually needs to recover.
Inside, you’ll learn:
The typical GLP-1 hair shedding + regrowth timeline
Why protein and adequate nutrition matter for the hair follicle
Labs worth discussing with your healthcare provider
What I recommend focusing on (and what I skip)
When hair loss may be more than simple telogen effluvium
Practical steps to support healthier regrowth while continuing your weight-loss journey
No complicated supplement routine. No panic-buying hair vitamins. Just a practical, dermatology-informed approach to understanding what may be happening and what deserves your attention.
The Hair Loss Decoder is a free 8-page guide that helps you identify which of the five hair loss patterns is yours, and exactly what to do first. Written by a board-certified dermatology PA-C.
Most people treat hair loss backwards: buy the supplement first, ask questions later. But shedding after a stressful season, a widening part line, and thinning at your edges are three completely different problems with three completely different fixes. The Decoder walks you through the five most common patterns I see in practice, what each one looks like, what triggers it, and the first steps actually worth your time.
Inside the guide:
A quick-reference chart comparing all five patterns at a glance
What each pattern looks like, what drives it, and your first steps
The clinical pearls I share with my own patients, including the one lab question almost everyone forgets to ask
A 3-question self-check to land on your pattern, plus the red flags that mean see a provider now
This guide is education, not medical advice, and does not replace evaluation by your own provider.

The Philosophy
Intentional by design.
Not one thing more
We live in an era of more. More products, more steps, more noise. The Caitlin Edit exists to cut through it. As a PA-C rooted in integrative dermatology, I believe the most effective approach to skin health is also the most intentional one: fewer, better choices made with clinical clarity and genuine care.
