The Bravo host detailed his health and fitness journey using an Ozempic-like drug.
“I did, this summer, lose a good chunk of weight by micro-dosing a GLP-1,” the 57-year-old revealed in September 2025 during an episode of his SiriusXM Andy Cohen Live radio show. “I was really unhappy with my weight. My doctor and I talked about this last year, had recommended a GLP-1 a few times to not only address what I was feeling about my weight, but treat plaque in my arteries and high blood pressure. This is a medication that actually is beneficial to a lot of elements of health and I finally said ‘yes.’
“I have to say, it really helped me with cravings,” he continued, “which I was having a very hard time with, and really forcing myself to be more disciplined with my diet and with working out.”
The singer shared in November 2024 that he had lost 120 pounds.
“I did this publicly for a reason,” Jelly Roll said on his wife Bunnie XO’s Dumb Blonde. “I want to be honest about my struggles with it with people. What I want the world to know and I want the people to see,” he continued, “is that I didn’t become successful because of my weight, I became successful in spite of it.”
Yep, the talk show host is standing a little taller these days.
Informed by doctors she was pre-diabetic, “I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor—a couple years I didn’t,” the singer explained to People. “And 90 percent of the time I’m really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway.” She is a Texas girlie after all, “so I like meat—sorry, vegetarians in the world!”
The mom to River and Remington is also enjoying exploring her new life in NYC. “Walking in the city is quite the workout,” she added. “And I’m really into infrared saunas right now. And I just got a cold plunge because everybody wore me down.”
Not in her tool kit: The weight loss drug du jour.
“My doctor chased me for like two years and I was like, ‘No, I’m afraid of it. I already have thyroid problems,'” she explained on a May 2024 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. “Everybody thinks it’s Ozempic. It’s not.”
Rather, it’s another unnamed medicine, she continued, “Something that aids in helping break down the sugar—obviously my body doesn’t do it right.”
You get some health advice! And you get some health advice! Because now that the media legend is feeling better than ever, she’s dishing out her best tips.
“It’s not one thing,” she stressed to Entertainment Tonight of her treadmill workouts, hikes, water consumption and nutritious eats, “it’s everything.”
While Winfrey hasn’t named the weight loss medication she’s using, she told People in December, “The fact that there’s a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for,” she explained of adding that particular tool to her arsenal. “I’m absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself.”
Living proof that you can, in fact, flip your life, the HGTV personality detailed his two-year fitness journey in a July 2023 Instagram post.
“Sometimes you think you’re doing the right thing but what you actually need is redirection in order to see growth,” he wrote.
While his previous regimen included the occasional hot yoga class with wife Heather Rae El Moussa, the reality star noted that he wasn’t following a particular routine, tracking his protein intake or receiving any sort of guidance.
Enter: nutritionist Sean Torbati.
Now, “I’m eating the right food & Hot yoga 1-2 times a week which is so good for my mental & physical state,” the dad of three explained. “It all comes down to motivation and perseverance.”
For him, “Once I realized how BADLY I wanted to feel good and be healthy—for myself, my wife, my kids, and my longevity—was the second I put my head down and got to work!!”
The View cohost revealed she used Mounjaro—a type 2 diabetes medication—to slim down after gaining weight in 2021.
“I weighed almost 300 pounds when I made Till,” she said on the March 19 episode of the daytime talk show. “I had taken all those steroids, I was on all this stuff, and one of the things that’s helped me drop the weight is Mounjaro. That’s what I use.”
The Grammy winner knows she made you look with her body transformation, which she credited to several factors including diet and exercise—as well as a GLP-1 weight loss medication.
“I’ve worked with a dietician, made huge lifestyle changes, started exercising with a trainer and yes, I used science and support and recommitting to healthy meal choices.”
But completing an ambitious bucket list is really what drives him.
“A lot of my life goals outside of acting have to do with the outdoors—I know I want to climb big rock walls in Yosemite, and so, I want to get fit for that,” he explained. “One of my big life goals is to do the Pacific Crest Trail, which is up the coast of America, Mexico to Canada and back.”
“And I’m learning to be ok with that.”
And should she find herself struggling, she’s picked up a strategy every bit as important as the workout routine she recommitted herself to postpartum.
“I go and pick up my child,” she told E! News of her “sweet angel” daughter.
Staring into Kingsley’s eyes “allows you to be grateful versus kind of nitpicking yourself,” she explained of her strategy. “And so that is one of my hacks that I do because no matter what you put out there, it’s hard not to be self-critical.”
