'I wanted to test it' - Oprah reveals what happened when she stopped taking weight loss drugs

Oprah Winfrey.

The 71-year-old has been taking a GLP-1 (we don’t know which one) since 2023 to lose weight, and says the change in her mental and physical health has been profound. On her podcast, she says she feels “more vibrant, strong and alive” than she has in years.

However, after taking a break from the weight loss jab to "test" and see what would happen, the presenter said she was shocked by how quickly she gained weight back. "I wanted to test it because everyone was saying, ‘you’re going to gain the weight, gain the weight’. And I was like, ‘I’m going to show them I’m not going to gain the weight’,” she told Today hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones.
