Karan Johar Says Medical Findings, Not Ozempic, Drove His Weight Loss

He says tests at a health resort revealed food intolerances and a thyroid issue that reshaped his regimen.

Overview

  • In a recent podcast appearance, Johar dismissed speculation that he used Ozempic for his physical transformation.
  • He said Vivamayr testing showed acute gluten and lactose intolerances, leading him to eliminate gluten, avoid lactose, cut sugar, and switch to almond milk.
  • He added that erratic thyroid levels were identified and treated with prescribed medication, which he credits with aiding weight loss.
  • Recounting earlier struggles, he described repeated fad diets such as General Motors and Atkins and said he once fainted in a college class, after which his mother banned the diet.
