Overview

  • Sophia Umansky, daughter of Kyle Richards, revealed significant hair loss after four months on the weight-loss drug Mounjaro, sharing her experience in a TikTok video.
  • She described losing large clumps of hair daily and expressed concern she could be bald within a week if the shedding continues at the current rate.
  • Umansky believes the hair loss stems from rapid weight loss and insufficient nutrient intake, not a direct reaction to the medication itself.
  • Medical experts classify her condition as telogen effluvium, a temporary hair-shedding condition triggered by physiological stress from weight loss.
  • To address the issue, she is increasing her protein and vitamin intake and using supplements like collagen, hair-growth peptides, and specialized vitamins.
