Chrissy Metz reveals use of GLP-1 medication after years of skepticism

Actress Chrissy Metz has revealed her decision to use GLP-1 weight-loss medication after six years of skepticism. Metz, known for her role in ‘This Is Us’, stated that her choice was driven by health concerns, including perimenopause and a family history of obesity, rather than vanity.

Metz noted that the medication has helped quiet ‘food noise’—persistent, intrusive thoughts about food—which has provided her with more mental clarity and energy. She also reported physical benefits, such as reduced inflammation and joint pain, which have aided her during her Broadway debut in ‘& Juliet’.

As an ambassador for the telehealth company Ro, Metz emphasized that she approached the decision diligently by researching the impact on her body and consulting with professionals. She expressed that the treatment has helped her feel more mobile and capable of managing an intensive performance schedule.
