Chrissy Metz discusses GLP-1 medication and weight loss

Actress Chrissy Metz has shared details regarding her weight loss journey, which includes a 100-pound reduction achieved through various methods and the subsequent use of GLP-1 medication.

Speaking at the premiere of Nocturne, Metz noted that the medication has helped minimize inflammation, which has been beneficial for managing knee issues and perimenopausal symptoms. She also highlighted a mental health benefit, stating that the medication has reduced “food noise,” allowing her to focus on other matters rather than obsessing over food.

Metz, known for her role in This Is Us, mentioned that the physical changes have supported her demanding schedule during her Broadway debut in & Juliet, where she performs eight shows a week. She previously expressed hesitation regarding weight loss medications but decided to explore them after a friend provided detailed information regarding her family health history.
