Zepbound and Hair loss

I started zepbound 2.5 in March 2025. Around July, I started losing hair. In December, that stopped and I now 2 months later have lots of visible new growth hairs all over. My derm said no to biotin (an expensive way to do nothing) and suggested minoxidil topical 3x/week. I did not start the minoxidil as I wanted to give it a little more time. What I did believe stopped the hair loss and started new growth was a slow down in rate of weight loss and daily protein shakes (started that around September). I have lost about 60 lbs and am stabilizing around that number. I only went to Zep 5 mg and no higher.

@dsisko
Can you share specifically what protein shake worked for you. That is good news!
