Hair shed is the side effect my dashboard didn't model

Saw the hair-loss article making the rounds. I track weight, waist, lifts, and sleep; hair never made the dashboard. Rough numbers: down 44 lb since last fall, and my pillow count went from a few strands to a small clump.

Temples look thinner in monthly photos. My dry read is that rapid loss, protein slipping, and winter static are all compounding, not one villain. So I added a breakfast protein anchor, a slower goal pace, and a monthly photo instead of daily panic.

It may be a lagging indicator, not a permanent trade. Anyone else logging shedding alongside the scale, or is that one metric you refuse to optimize?
