Sophia Umansky, daughter of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards, has opened up about her ongoing struggle with hair loss after taking weight-loss medication. Sharing her experience with fans, the 23-year-old revealed graphic images of her hair shedding, which she believes is linked to her use of the drug Mounjaro.
Sophia, the third daughter of Kyle and estranged husband Mauricio Umansky, has been candid about her personal challenges. Although her parents are currently going through a separation, they are prioritizing maintaining an amicable relationship for the sake of their children. However, Sophia is now facing a separate issue—her unexpected hair loss.
Hair Loss Linked to Mounjaro Medication
In a recent social media post, Sophia explained the extent of her hair loss, saying, “I am very lucky that I have so much hair. Because at the rate that I’ve been losing hair, I’m gonna be bald in about a week!” She shared that she began taking Mounjaro, a weight-loss drug, around four months ago. It wasn’t until recently, however, that she noticed significant hair shedding, particularly over the past month.
Despite her hair looking shiny and healthy in her video, Sophia admitted that she’s been losing hair in clumps—whether she’s in the shower, combing her hair, or simply running her hands through it. She also showed her followers clumps of hair collected around the drain, revealing that the situation was even worse than what was visible in the video.
“You’re not even seeing the half of it,” she shared, further emphasizing the severity of her hair loss.
Seeking Remedies and Nutrition Adjustments
Sophia believes the hair loss is a direct result of the medication, noting that it may also be exacerbated by a lack of essential vitamins and protein in her diet. In response, she has been making adjustments to improve her nutrition and is also using peptides to address the issue.
Sophia’s post sparked mixed reactions from fans. While many praised her for her transparency, others offered advice, such as suggesting she have her thyroid checked. Some also questioned why she was using a weight-loss medication in the first place.
Focusing on Health Amid Family Struggles
While Sophia continues to navigate the complexities of her family’s situation, including her parents’ separation, she remains focused on her health and managing her unexpected hair loss. Currently living at home with her mother, she appears to be taking steps to address her health concerns during this challenging time.
