Thank you to and for including me in this piece on GLP-1 hair loss.

Noticing hair shedding after starting a GLP-1? It’s most often a side effect of rapid weight loss, not the medication itself. Even with a smaller appetite, try to prioritize nutrient-dense meals with plenty of protein (since hair is made of keratin), along with iron, zinc, and B vitamins. Slow, steady weight loss is less likely to stress your system.

Tuna steaks are packed with lean protein, omega-3s, and essential nutrients like vitamin D and B12. A heart-healthy, brain-boosting option that’s low in calories, but high in flavor. Just be mindful of portions due to mercury content. A good rule of thumb is 2–3 servings a week. Watch the video for this delicious pan-seared tuna with ginger, miso, and cilantro sauce recipe!

GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Zepbound can be an option for almost anyone interested in improving their health, weight, or metabolic profile. The most important step is a personalized evaluation to ensure safe and effective treatment.

"We feel so blessed to have been recommended to Dr. Feuer. I first saw her in NJ, and when we found out she joined Well by Messer in NY, we didn’t hesitate to follow her, that’s how much we trust her care.

As a mom with my own health challenges, I wasn’t going to let my son go years without answers like I did. Anyone with autoimmune issues knows how hard it is to find a doctor who truly listens and treats the root.." says Kristina on Google

Can a diabetes drug help prevent Alzheimer’s?

Emerging research suggests that it might. In one case, a woman with early cognitive decline and a high-risk Alzheimer’s gene began treatment with Trulicity—not for weight loss, but to support brain health. GLP-1 receptor agonists can cross the blood-brain barrier, reduce inflammation, and may influence amyloid and tau buildup.

More data is on the way, but this class of medication could represent a new direction in preventative care for neurodegenerative conditions.

Thank you to Bindu Bansinath and for including me in this important conversation around Ozempic and GLP-1 medications.

While these drugs can be incredibly effective, they’re not without potential side effects, including GI issues, delayed gastric emptying, and even rare cases of vision changes.

As I shared in the article, it’s not just about access — it’s about oversight. These medications need to be used thoughtfully, with proper guidance, and tailored to each patient’s needs.

We are thrilled that Marc’s experience made such an impact. At his initial appointment, Dr. Messer took the time to address not just his immediate concern, but his overall health. This approach led to a “life-changing” cardiology referral. Stories like Marc’s show the power of comprehensive care.
