Kelly Clarkson recently opened up about her weight loss journey, addressing rumors surrounding her use of Ozempic. In an interview with Whoopi Goldberg on her show, Clarkson praised Goldberg's youthful appearance, remarking, "Every time I run into you, you look younger. You're like Benjamin Button." Goldberg, 68, attributed her youthful looks to significant weight loss, explaining, "I’ve lost almost two people. I am doing that wonderful shot that works for folks who need some help, and it's been really good for me." Clarkson, 42, then shared her own weight loss story, clarifying that her method differed from what many people assumed. "Mine is a different one than people assume, but I ended up having to do that too because my bloodwork got so bad," she said. Clarkson revealed that her doctor had pursued her for two years to try a particular medication, but she was initially reluctant due to her existing thyroid problems. Addressing the widespread speculation, Clarkson stated, "Everybody thinks it's Ozempic, but it's not. It's something else." She explained that the medication she uses helps break down sugar, a process her body struggles with. Clarkson emphasized that she is not on Ozempic, a drug commonly used by Type-2 diabetic patients. This revelation clears up the misconceptions about her weight loss journey and highlights her focus on health due to underlying medical conditions. Clarkson’s openness provides insight into the complexities of weight management and the importance of personalized medical advice.
