Overview

• Teigen disclosed the use on the Sept. 18 episode of her Self-Conscious podcast in a conversation with author Johann Hari.
• She said she took semaglutide for about a year, without specifying start or stop dates, saw no change for three to four months, then lost the pregnancy weight.
• The weight loss relieved what she called a deep depression brought on by seeing a pregnant belly with no baby.
• She described appetite suppression that left her forcing herself to eat until her dose was adjusted, and cautioned that some people lose more weight than they realize.
• Teigen said she delayed speaking publicly because she sells cookbooks and felt guilty discussing an expensive therapy during shortages, adding that many people she knows are using GLP-1 drugs.
