Chrissy Teigen Discloses Ozempic Use After 2020 Pregnancy Loss

On her podcast, she says a year on the drug eventually shed lingering pregnancy weight but left her forcing down food until her dose was adjusted.

Overview

  • Teigen detailed the experience on the Sept. 18 episode of Self-Conscious in a conversation with author Johann Hari.
  • She said several months passed with no change before the weight dropped, which she linked to relief from the depression of seeing a pregnancy belly after losing son Jack at 20 weeks.
  • The model described pronounced appetite suppression, calling eating "almost torturous" at times and noting she had to fine-tune her dosage.
  • She said she hesitated to speak sooner because she sells cookbooks and felt guilty about being able to afford the drug during prior shortages.
  • Teigen cautioned about "Ozempic blindness" and did not give exact start or stop dates, and her Instagram post about the episode drew some critical comments.
