Sophia Umansky, the daughter of “Real Housewives” star Kyle Richards, has been dealing with significant hair loss, which she believes is a result of shedding weight after using a popular weight-loss medication. The 25-year-old disclosed that she has been taking the prescription drug Mounjaro, a brand of Tirzepatide originally designed to treat Type 2 diabetes but also known for aiding in weight loss, for about four months. Sophia noticed a drastic change in her hair over the past few weeks, expressing concern about the amount she was losing.
In a video shared on TikTok, Sophia shared her hair loss experience, mentioning that simply running her fingers through her hair results in large amounts of hair falling out. She suspects that the rapid weight loss caused by the medication, combined with possible nutritional deficiencies, has contributed to her hair loss. To address this issue, Sophia has adjusted her diet to include more protein and vitamins, incorporated new hair products, and started taking a collagen supplement.
Despite the challenges with hair loss, Sophia remains open about her experience with Mounjaro and is willing to answer any questions about it. She emphasized the importance of proper nutrition and expressed optimism about her journey with the weight-loss drug.
