Heather Gay Plans to Stay on GLP-1s, Touts Atkins Partnership for Maintenance

The RHOSLC star emphasizes health and body comfort over scale numbers.

Overview

  • In interviews published January 15, 2026, Gay says she will continue GLP-1 medications to maintain her current size.
  • She began using Ozempic and other GLP-1s in 2023, reporting a 25-pound loss on RHOSLC after trying different versions to manage common side effects.
  • She is promoting a paid partnership with Atkins and uses its high-protein shakes and bars to support protein and fiber intake.
  • Atkins nutrition lead Jon Clinthorne cautions that restricted calories can leave vitamin, mineral, protein and fiber gaps and describes GLP-1s as a tool when paired with proper nutrition.
  • Gay says she feels healthier and more comfortable, rejects weight-related shame tied to her church upbringing, and incorporates yoga into her routine.
