Why Chrissy Metz Finally Said Yes to a GLP-1 After Being a "Skeptic" for Years

Metz says the medication has quieted persistent food thoughts and improved mobility, helping her perform on Broadway eight shows a week.

  • "This Is Us" actor Chrissy Metz, 45, recently began using GLP-1 medication through telehealth company Ro, marking a significant shift after years of personal skepticism about the treatment.
  • "Not getting any younger," Metz stated, citing perimenopause and family obesity history as motivators after diets and therapy since childhood failed to produce lasting results.
  • Since starting treatment, the "Breakthrough" actress reports experiencing significantly less "food noise" while also reducing joint pain and inflammation, enabling easier movement during her Broadway performances.
  • Addressing criticism, Metz emphasized that outside observers lack knowledge of her family medical history, stating, "My life is my life, and I have to do what's best for me."
  • Metz's partnership with Ro, which also represents athlete Serena Williams, provides telehealth access to GLP-1 treatments that support her demanding eight-times-weekly Broadway performance schedule in & Juliet.
