Follow a 3000-3500 calorie daily plan with 5-6 meals, high in proteins, healthy fats, and carbs using Indian foods for 0.5-1 kg weekly gain. Prioritize dairy, nuts, ghee for calorie density and vitamin D absorption; include sunlight exposure (15-20 min daily).
Next Steps
cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) 60,000 IU weekly for 8 weeks, then 1000-2000 IU daily maintenance (avoid high single-loading doses)
Health Tips
No specific hairfall meds initially; recheck after vitamin D normalization.

A Vitamin D level of 6 is severely low and can explain hair fall, fatigue, poor appetite, muscle weakness, and difficulty gaining weight.
Weight gain and hair recovery will not happen with food alone until deficiencies are corrected.
The good news: this is treatable and reversible with the right plan.
Next Steps
Required Tests (if not done):
• Vitamin B12
• CBC (anemia)
• Ferritin (iron stores)
• Thyroid profile (TSH)
These directly affect weight, hair, and energy.
• Hair supplements only after checking B12 & iron
⚠️ Avoid random hair products or supplements before testing.
(I can individualize exact doses safely after reviewing reports.)
