Oprah Winfrey may have slimmed down and is looking great these days, but she is still a heavyweight in the sense of being one of biggest moguls in media and broadcasting and is also very much a person who tries to use their fame to effect change and make the world a better place as much as one person can. She is likeable and a lot of people look up to her, and that is why the recent news about Oprah Winfrey Ozempic is bigger than it would be for anyone else who were to say they have had success with a weight loss injection.

What Winfrey has done is made public the fact that she had tremendous success with losing weight with Ozempic, and that it is especially significant for her because of the way she has struggled for so many years to lose enough weight to be at a healthy body weight. Despite eating right with a personal chef and exercising vigorously most days of the week. But more significant about Oprah and Ozempic is the fact she gives a more powerful voice to people who say there should not be any stigma to medically-induced weight loss. 

Amy Schumer is another well-known person who has been fine with saying she used Ozempic, and we tend to agree that if people want to use a medication and their doctor agrees to write them a prescription then they are free to do whatever they like. Whether it is Oprah and Ozempic or some other well-known celebrity and person of influence who is out there saying ‘hey I was a person who did everything right but did not fit into pants either. If medication is what makes slimming down possible then so be it.’ We like this about her. 

Weight Loss Special  

Oprah’s recent TV special a few weeks ago about weight loss was a big success, and it was billed as a ‘sit down conversation over donuts about the radical impact of prescription weight loss medications’ and what it’s done is stress the legitimacy of medications for helping people lose weight and for some of them connection Oprah with Ozempic is what it’s going to take to get them to see the doctor about it. It is quite possible your doctor will suggest you start on Saxenda instead as it is a labelled weight loss medication.  

Oprah stresses that a medication like Ozempic or Wegovy needs to be seen as only one tool of many that people can be using to help them lose weight. What is also stressed is that not everyone who is slightly overweight is that way because they are lazy or because of a very bad diet. It may be that they have already lost a lot of weight, but they cannot lose the last bit of their bulk. This was the situation with Oprah Winfrey Ozempic, and she wants other people to be able to experience the same satisfaction of getting to the body weight needed for optimal health. Women connect to Oprah, and Oprah connects to Ozempic.
