Overview

• Teigen said she used semaglutide for about a year after losing son Jack at around 20 weeks, initially seeing no change for three to four months before the weight came off.
• She described mental relief once the pregnancy weight lifted, saying she felt better without the daily reminder of her loss.
• Appetite suppression was severe, she said, recounting days of forcing herself to eat and calling the experience “almost torturous.”
• She added that she increased her dose quickly and later realized she had lost more weight than she recognized at the time, calling it “Ozempic blindness.”
• Teigen said she hesitated to speak publicly because she sells cookbooks and could afford a drug in short supply, and she noted many peers use GLP-1s as the disclosure fuels wider discussion of access and side effects.
