Kris Jenner Says She Tried Ozempic, Stopped After Severe Side Effects

Her account highlights the need for medical guidance around celebrity weight-loss drugs.

Overview

  • On the SHE MD podcast, Jenner said she tried the diabetes drug semaglutide, sold as Ozempic, early on and quit after feeling "gravely ill" with severe nausea.
  • She said she then asked her doctor to switch her to peptide injections and supplements, which she credits with more energy and modest weight control.
  • Jenner said she gets blood tests every three months to track thyroid and hormone levels and she now aims for balance over rapid loss.
  • Her comments push back on 2023 online claims that cast her as an "Ozempic queen" based on slimmer Instagram photos.
  • Coverage situates her story within a broader Hollywood turn to GLP-1 drugs that many now use for weight loss as doctors warn about gastrointestinal side effects and advise close supervision.
