Amy Schumer is back with some hot health updates, and let’s just say, she’s keeping it realer than your grandma’s meatloaf recipe.
The 43-year-old comedian recently took to Instagram to give fans the scoop on her latest weight loss adventures—because, let’s face it, we all want to know what the celebs are injecting, swallowing, or sniffing to stay snatched. And folks, it turns out Wegovy was NOT it.
“Three years ago, I tried Wegovy,” Amy confessed. “And I was basically just vomiting my hopes, dreams, and probably a kidney. Couldn’t handle it. No clue if they changed the formula or if my body was just like, ‘Ma’am, this is a Wendy’s, please stop.’”
So, what’s a girl to do when one fancy weight loss drug turns into a personal horror movie? Enter Mounjaro. Sounds exotic, right? Like a five-star resort in the Maldives. But nope—it’s a GLP-1 medication, which, in non-doctor speak, means it helps people lose weight without turning their stomach into a scene from The Exorcist.
Amy explained that after linking up with Midi Health (which, by the way, sounds like a robot doctor from the future), she got prescribed estrogen, progesterone, and Mounjaro. And just like that—BOOM—perimenopause symptoms? Gone.
“My hair is fuller, my skin is glowing, I have more energy,” she raved, basically describing the effects of drinking eight glasses of water a day—but, like, with science.
But here’s the kicker: Mounjaro isn’t exactly a bargain bin purchase. Insurance only covers it if you have diabetes or ‘severe obesity,’ which means most people will have to sell a kidney or start an OnlyFans for toe pics to afford it.
“But I’m having a great experience, so I just wanted to keep it real with you guys,” Amy added. Translation: If you see me looking snatched, just know Mounjaro and a small fortune made it happen.
Moral of the story? Wegovy made Amy feel like she was auditioning for a role in a horror flick, but Mounjaro? Chef’s kiss.
Would you try it, or are you sticking to the good old-fashioned “pretending you’re full after two bites” method? 🤔
