Following significant weight loss, she credits the controversial drug's success to its ability to mimic a natural hormone.
With the increase in hormone levels, molecules are sent to the brain, signaling satiety.
This process also delays digestion by prolonging the passage of food through the body. These effects are comparable to those observed post-bariatric surgery.
As Ozempic gains more traction, a noticeable surge of criticism stems from its original purpose of treating Type 2 diabetes.
The escalating trend among celebrities to utilize this drug for cosmetic enhancements has resulted in a concerning depletion of supplies for individuals relying on it for medical reasons.
Despite receiving caution from healthcare professionals, 39-year-old Kelly Osbourne expressed her support for the effectiveness of the contentious medication in reducing her dress size significantly.
During a recent appearance at Dolly Parton's Pet Gala, Kelly enthusiastically endorsed Ozempic, stating, "I think it's amazing."
Kelly said, "There are a million ways to lose weight; why not do it through something that isn't as boring as working out?"
"People hate it because they want to do it. And the people who hate it the most are the people who are secretly doing it or pissed off that they can't afford it. Unfortunately, it's costly right now, but it eventually won't be because it works."
