Chrissy Teigen was craving something different.
The cookbook author is openly discussing her experience with Ozempic, a medication for type 2 diabetes that can also lead to weight loss. She says she began taking it after the heartbreaking loss of her and John Legend’s son, Jack, in September 2020.
Chrissy shared on her podcast, *Self-Conscious*, that after having two children, she experienced a loss around 20 weeks into a pregnancy. She described feeling as though her body was frozen and in shock afterward.
Chrissy gained around 40 pounds during her 20-week pregnancy with Jack, which made her feel uncomfortable. She and John are also parents to Luna, 9, Miles, 7, and the two-year-old twins, Esti and Wren.
Her weight gain brought back painful memories of her previous miscarriage, and that’s what led her to consider using Ozempic.
As a lifestyle expert, I’ve seen so many weight loss trends come and go, and honestly, I remember trying something similar to Ozempic well before it was in the headlines. I experimented with it for about a year, and for the first three or four months, I didn’t see a single pound come off. It was incredibly frustrating! Then, almost out of nowhere, it started working, and I finally lost the weight I’d been struggling with – weight that constantly reminded me of a difficult loss I’d experienced.
Losing weight also improved the model’s emotional well-being, as she had been deeply depressed about her body after experiencing a pregnancy loss.
As someone who absolutely *lives* for food, it was honestly really tough for me to watch Chrissy take Ozempic. It’s designed to suppress your appetite, and for a true foodie like her, that just seemed… disheartening. It felt like taking away a part of what made her, *her*.
She explained that she understood needing food for energy, but it often felt like she was being forced to eat just to get through the day and manage her work.
The podcast host added that it was “torturous” to not feel hungry but to still need to eat.
She admitted she really disliked feeling full. Instead, she enjoyed the sensation of hunger, the anticipation of food, and the pleasure of wanting to eat. She found excitement in the entire process – from preparing meals to finally savoring each bite.
Chrissy also noticed a positive shift in her relationship with food while on the medication, and she was able to understand and accept how it had changed her eating habits.
She explained that she finally stopped obsessing over food and feeling guilty about enjoying even healthy things. It was crazy, she said, how much better she felt – both physically and mentally – once she stopped labeling foods as ‘good’ or ‘bad,’ even something as healthy as an avocado.
Chrissy realized she’d been holding herself to unrealistic and unhealthy standards when it came to food. She credits Ozempic with helping her change those thought patterns.

Novo Nordisk also states they believe doctors are making informed decisions about the best treatment for each of their patients.
Comedian Chelsea Handler is speaking out about her experience with Ozempic. She says her doctor prescribed the medication for anti-aging purposes without fully explaining what it was.
I was so surprised when I heard about it on the January 25th, 2023 episode of *Call Her Daddy*. She mentioned it so casually, saying if you ever wanted to lose just a little weight – about five pounds – this could really help. I honestly didn’t even realize I was involved until she brought it up!
But while she tried the drug, Handler noted that she didn’t like how it made her feel.
She remembered returning from vacation and immediately using the medication. A few days later, while having lunch with a friend, the friend mentioned feeling sick and revealed she was taking Ozempic. She realized she was also feeling unwell, but initially attributed it to jet lag from her trip to Spain.
Handler eventually stopped taking the medication because she didn’t need it for medical reasons, and she shared her leftover supply with friends.

I was really fascinated to hear that Dr. Dubrow didn’t just jump on the weight-loss drug bandwagon – he actually tried Mounjaro himself for a short time back in January 2023. He wanted to understand firsthand how it works and what it does to the body, which I think is incredibly dedicated and responsible of him.
The *Botched* star said she was really impressed with the weight loss medication. She didn’t need to lose a lot of weight herself, but she was curious to experience it firsthand, since many of her patients used it and she wanted to see how it worked for someone who wasn’t diabetic and only needed to lose about ten to fifteen pounds.
Okay, so Dr. Dubrow finally talked about it! He wouldn’t say *exactly* how much weight he lost, or how long he was taking whatever it was, but the best part? He’s off it now! Seriously, I’ve been following his journey so closely, and knowing he’s no longer on that medication is such a relief. I’m so proud of him!
He decided to stop taking the medication because he wanted to regain his appetite, and he’d also been feeling mildly nauseous.
