that like fact or myth or is there some truth to that? Are there things that people can be doing to help, you know, slow things down a little bit, I guess?

Yes.

And I think it was Phyllis who asked the question about stress.

I'm going to answer that one first because that dovetails onto the comment that I made earlier about over-the-counter doesn't necessarily mean safe and also ties into the nutritional things.

I saw a case of someone who was overlapping supplements, not realizing that there were lipid soluble vitamins and the most common lipid soluble vitamins that we see in a lot of the over-the-counter therapies are vitamins D, E, A, and K. Vitamin D is really important for hair cycling.

And if vitamin D is too low, it can cause hair shedding.

If vitamin D is too high, it can also contribute toward hair shedding.

But before we let you go, we ask all of our guests one question, which is when's the last time you asked yourself, so when do I?

So could you introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about who you are and what you do as your profession?

Absolutely.

First, hi, Anna.

Thank you so much for having me on the podcast today, and thank you to the listeners who are interested in this topic.

We're here to serve you and give you information that hopefully is evidence-based and will help to serve you as you're making your informed decisions, whether or not you want to take a GLP-1, whether or not you want to stay on it, and what doses you want to be on, so on and so forth.

So let me introduce myself.

My name is Kristen Losico.

Mm-hmm.
