Noticing more hair in your brush while losing weight? Worried about losing muscle on Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound? Here’s what your body needs to support hair growth and protect your strength.

I’m Dr. Brian Samuel, a weight-loss doctor. In this episode, we break down why hair shedding can happen during weight loss, how eating too little affects muscle, and why a smaller appetite doesn’t mean your body has stopped needing nutrition.

You’ll learn what supports hair growth, how muscles repair and rebuild, why walking after meals helps your body use blood sugar, and where supplements fit.

We also cover iron, zinc, biotin, creatine, vitamin D, and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). Food comes first. Supplements should address a specific need.

What other symptoms have you experienced on GLP-1 medications? Comment below.

Next episode: Why weight-loss plateaus happen—and what to consider before increasing your dose.
