Chrissy Metz is speaking candidly about why she decided to try a GLP-1 weight loss medication after years of being skeptical, according to E! News. The This Is Us star said she had spent a long time dieting and wanted to understand whether the treatment could help her quiet what she described as “food noise.”
Metz said a friend’s detailed research helped change her mind, and she later teamed with the telehealth company Ro. She explained that her decision was not about vanity, but about trying to focus on long-term health and being able to perform through eight shows a week in Broadway’s & Juliet.
Other celebrities have also discussed their experiences. Trisha Paytas said she was happy with the weight she lost using Zepbound after trying other approaches without success, while Serena Williams said she turned to a GLP-1 medication after struggling to get back to a healthy weight following the birth of her daughter in 2017.
Oprah Winfrey, meanwhile, has said that starting a weight loss medication changed the way she thought about body size and willpower. Meghan Trainor and her husband, Daryl Sabara, also said they learned more and more of their friends and doctors were using medications such as Mounjaro and Ozempic.
