Chrissy Metz is opening up about her GLP-1 journey, and she’s not apologizing for it. The 45-year-old actress told Us Weekly that critics don’t get a vote in her health decisions, saying people will criticize you no matter what, so she simply doesn’t listen. She announced her partnership with Ro last month and has been upfront about using the medication as part of her routine.
According to Metz, the results go way beyond the scale. She says her labs and blood work have significantly improved, her sleep is better, and the medication has quieted the constant“food noise.”She also cohosted a dinner with Ro’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Melynda Barnes to talk openly about the experience. And she wants people to know she wasn’t instantly convinced: she was skeptical, did extensive research, and talked to friends before starting.
Her bigger message is about grace. Metz believes not one thing works for everybody, and that education beats fear every time. With GLP-1s still sparking heated debate, her honesty gives the conversation a personal, human face. So what do you think: should celebrities share their weight loss journeys, or is it better kept private?
