The truth about Kelly Clarkson’s weight loss medication has finally come to light. Recently, the television personality chatted with Whoopi Goldberg, sharing some details about her weight loss journey.

However, contrary to popular speculation, Kelly Clarkson clarified it wasn’t Ozempic — a type 2 diabetes medication that has become popular in Hollywood for shedding weight.
Kelly Clarkson Opens Up About Her Weight Loss Medication
Kelly Clarkson has finally cleared the air regarding claims that she used Ozempic to drop some pounds. On Monday’s episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the singer opened up about the realities behind her weight management. Speaking to Goldberg, Clarkson confessed that she used weight loss medication to slim down. However, as opposed to recent public speculation, it wasn’t the popular drug Ozempic.
“My doctor chased me for two years, and I was like, ‘No, I’m afraid of it. I already have thyroid problems. Everybody thinks it’s Ozempic, but it’s not,” she said.
Although she kept the name of the drug hidden, Kelly Clarkson said her weight loss medication was something prescribed to help break down sugar.
“It’s something else, but it’s something that aids in helping break down the sugar — obviously my body doesn’t do it right,” the host noted.
The Turning Point in Kelly Clarkson’s Life
Clarkson also recounted what prompted her to begin her weight loss journey. The 42-year-old shared that initially, she didn’t realize she was putting on weight. To make matters worse, Clarkson revealed even those in her inner circle didn’t notice the changes in her body.
“I looked at my manager who’s known me for 15 years, and she was like, ‘I know I’m kind of shocked as you.’ And I think because your people are with you the whole time, so it’s gradual. You don’t even realize,” she explained.
However, Clarkson said it dawned on her after she watched herself on TV and couldn’t recognize who she saw.
“We were in my house in New York like watching, and then all of a sudden I paused and I was like, ‘Who the f**k is that?’ I swear to god, it sounds insane. You see it. And you’re like, ‘Well, she about to die of a heart attack,” Clarkson shared.
Without hesitation, she visited the hospital, and after getting some blood work done, the doctor prescribed a drug. So far, Clarkson has lost over 60 pounds and couldn’t be more thankful for the drastic transformation. Up to this point, Kelly Clarkson’s weight loss has gone as planned, thanks to her medication. However, fans would be itching to know what drug helped her shed some pounds. Only time will tell if the TV personality makes the revelation.
