Jillian Michaels Claims Ozempic Is a Cover-Up for Real Health Issues

TMZ

Jillian Michaels has never sugarcoated her views on Ozempic -- but she's upping the ante, saying folks who care about their health should be seriously ticked off about the way their psychology is being exploited.

00:00Now you asked me about Ozympic shame. Here's what I want to say to that real quick. We

00:06got to stop giving that energy. It's a distraction. It's a game. Chronic disease is going up in

00:11this country at an unprecedented pace, whether it's autoimmune conditions, infertility, early

00:17onset cancer diagnoses, autism with our kids. This is a game. This is a distraction. This

00:23is not what we should be paying attention to. Disease does not happen in a silo. When

00:27you eat 10,000 chemicals that are in our food supply, I can sit here all day long and

00:32tell you, work out, eat better, move more, use common sense with your food choices, and

00:36I have. But there are 10,000 chemicals in our food that are poisoning us, literally

00:41making us sick, making us obese, and they're impacting every aspect of our wellness, from

00:47your fertility to your endocrine system, which will impact your weight as well. Ozymbic is

00:55not the answer, man. It's hundreds, if not thousands of dollars a month. Forgive me.

01:01It's hundreds, if not over $1,000 a month. It's got a host of crappy side effects. You

01:06plateau on it, and here's one for you to prove my point. Prime Therapeutics, which is one

01:10of the biggest pharmacy benefit managers for Blue Cross Blue Shield, just came out with

01:14a survey not too long back saying that 66% of the people that are put on ozymbic get

01:20off within the first year alone, and the reasons they cite are cost, plateau, side

01:27effect. This is not an answer. But it's very popular, ozymbic, for whatever reason. Do

01:31you think that people who take it then should potentially be a bit ashamed of doing it that

01:35way instead of the natural way? Oh, there's no shame. It's not about shame. It's about

01:38educating people to get pissed off about the things, the ways in which your psychology

01:44is being exploited. You're depressed. You're sad. Oh, here's a donut. Here's a taco. We're

01:50surrounded by ubiquitous cues to eat all the time. The food's very addictive and designed

01:55to be that way. There's just a lot of things working against Americans. This has nothing

01:59to do with shame. It's about giving people the facts, and they're always trying to obscure

02:03it and hide it and lie about it. People like myself, we talk about it. We're anti-science.

02:08We're fat shamers. We're ozymbic shamers. We're racists. We're whatever. We just did

02:14this whole thing in DC on the Capitol, and it was myself, MDs from Harvard, Stanford,

02:21Johns Hopkins, a host of other health advocates. The Atlantic wrote about it and called it

02:27MAGA meets woohoo. First of all, if Stanford, Harvard, and Johns Hopkins are woohoo, sign

02:32me up. Sign me up. I'm in. Second, there's no political affiliation whatsoever. If you

02:40care about your health, you should be pissed that they're trying to make this partisan.

02:43This has nothing to do with politics.
