When the body loses weight quickly, it can temporarily redirect nutrients away from hair growth
Combined with genetic personalization through the Precision Peptide Test, PlexusDx transforms weight loss from a guessing game into a science-backed, budget-conscious strategy tailored to your metabolic profile
To assess food intake, a 3-day diet diary will be completed
Decision factors: Weight loss goals: Want maximum weight loss and can tolerate side effects: Tirzepatide (Zepbound) shows ~4% greater weight loss than semaglutide on average Want proven cardiovascular benefits: Semaglutide has demonstrated 20% reduction in major cardiovascular events in the SELECT trial Want to try oral option: Oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) for diabetes, though weight loss is less than injectable Side effect sensitivity: Some people tolerate one better than the other
When unwanted hair is reduced, stretch marks often become less noticeable simply because there's less contrast and texture variation
