Hair Loss

Imagine running your fingers through fuller, healthier-looking hair.

Imagine feeling confident styling your hair without worrying about thinning areas.

Imagine knowing you're supporting your body from the inside out, not simply masking the problem.

At Arc Wellness, our goal is to help you better understand the factors influencing your hair health and create a personalized path that supports healthy growth, confidence, and long-term wellness.

Healthy hair depends on healthy cells, adequate nutrition, balanced hormones, and a body that has the nutrients it needs to grow and repair.

Rapid weight loss, including weight loss achieved with GLP-1 medications, can sometimes contribute to temporary hair shedding. In many cases, the medication itself isn't the cause. Instead, reduced calorie intake, lower protein consumption, and inadequate intake of key vitamins and minerals can place additional stress on the hair growth cycle.

Iron, vitamin D, zinc, biotin, essential fatty acids, protein, and other nutrients all play important roles in supporting healthy hair growth.

Understanding why hair loss is occurring allows us to create a more personalized approach to supporting healthier hair over time.

Hair shedding after significant weight loss is more common than many people realize.

Whether weight loss occurs naturally, after surgery, or while taking GLP-1 medications, the body may temporarily shift its resources toward essential functions during periods of rapid change. When combined with inadequate protein or nutritional deficiencies, this can lead to increased hair shedding several weeks or months later.

The good news is that this type of hair loss is often temporary, especially when underlying nutritional needs are identified and addressed.

Hair is often one of the body's earliest indicators that something may be out of balance.

Rather than focusing only on the hair itself, we believe in understanding the whole person, because healthier hair often begins with supporting healthier hormones, better nutrition, balanced metabolism, and overall wellness.
