Sophia Umansky Reveals Severe Hair Loss Linked to Weight-Loss Drug Mounjaro

The 25-year-old shared her experience on TikTok, attributing rapid hair loss to nutritional deficiencies caused by rapid weight loss from the medication.

Overview

  • Sophia Umansky, daughter of Kyle Richards, disclosed on TikTok that she has been experiencing significant hair loss after four months on the weight-loss medication Mounjaro.
  • She reported that the hair loss began three to four weeks ago and has been severe, showing clumps of hair falling out daily in her video.
  • Umansky believes the hair loss is due to rapid weight loss and insufficient intake of vitamins and protein, rather than a direct side effect of the medication itself.
  • To address the issue, she is using OMI hair growth peptides, taking collagen and Grüns vitamins, and increasing her protein intake.
  • Her disclosure has sparked broader discussions about the side effects of weight-loss drugs and the importance of nutritional balance during rapid weight loss.
